General Support / Video Player: SMTUBE ?
April 13, 2016, 03:00:01 PM
because smpalyer already in VSIDO, my thinking was to add another "sm" program , smtube to play videos directly from You Tube
however, download would be huge because all of needed dependencies, so I gave up on this idea
Is there any  nice & small video player to add ?
Thanks!

General Support / Pale Moon Web Browser
April 13, 2016, 02:54:42 PM
found this un-known (for me) web browser called Pale Moon
It has its own web page : http://linux.palemoon.org/
and repositories for Debian 8
https://software.opensuse.org/download.html?project=home%3Astevenpusser&package=palemoon

just wondering, if anybody tried to download and install this browser in VSIDO and what were your experiences ?

thanks

It is not a good idea to directly listen live radio stream in your browser, because it uses lots of resources and slows things down.
The best apps I find was "streamtuner2", it is a small download, has nice GUI , and has a vast selection of live broadcasting to choose from.
In Preferences the installed audio/video player needs to be entered to make it work.
For some reason "smplayer" buffers up to 20 % before plays, so I am using "audacious" instead, which plays immediately.
Maybe "streamtuner2" and  "audacious" could be added into next release, (and remove "smplayer" ?)
Hope this helps someone to enjoy their online listening experience.

General Support / Bluetooth apps in menu ?
April 12, 2016, 11:30:14 PM
during boot, I have seen message about bluetooth started
confirmed later in synaptic that bluetooth+bluez was installed.....yet nowhere to be found in menu Settings
managed to get my bluetooth headphone working, by adding blueman and pulseaudio-module-bluetooth pkg-es
however, when looked for freshly installed  Blueman in menu, not found !
Of course I can start in terminal or with Application Finder, but do I really want to go thru that every time?
Any  new pkg needs to  manually added to the menu ?
Thanks!
