Gecko Media Player is a browser plugin that uses GNOME MPlayer to play media in a browser.

The project should work with all browsers on Unix-ish systems(Linux, BSD, Solaris) and use the NS4 API (Mozilla, Firefox, Opera, etc.).

Gecko Media Player is in heavy development, but I wanted to get some code drops out there so that people can start using and testing it.

RJBs Digital Media Center is a music player.
RJBs Digital Music Center is designed to run on dedicated hardware. Because of this. It running as root. Very dangerous. Other than grabbing the X display and calling stop and halt scripts. It should be able to run as a non-root user. I will look into this on future releases.

BMP is a multimedia player that currently uses a skinned user interface based on Winamp 2.x skins.

The original project name was "beep". Then we discovered that another project of the same name existed, and extended it to "Beep Media Player" to distinguish the two.

This new name is of course cumbersome to type, so it was informally shortened to BMP (or sometimes BeepMP) for everyday usage. Along the way, somehow or another, some of the developers no longer recognize it as an acronym. There is still no official word on whether to drop the original form. But whatever happens, the name BMP is here to stay.

Milosz Derezynski started hacking on XMMS alone in the fall of 2003 and eventually made it compile against GTK+2. He went on to release it to the public under the name Beep and stirred up considerable interest among XMMS users who were eager to move their favourite application to GTK+2. From that moment on, the way was clear.
