-Gnome MPlayer has a rich API that is exposed via DBus. Using DBus you
-can control a single or multiple instances of GNOME MPlayer from a
-single command. Gnome MPlayer is not dependent on any Gnome libraries.
-However, the look and feel of the application is based on the Gnome HIG.
+The player can be used to play media on websites from your browser when
+used with Gecko Mediaplayer and is the modern replacement for the
+mplayerplug-in application.
-Either dconf or gconf is required for the program to save settings; they
-are no longer stored in a flat text .conf file. If you plan to use gconf,
-pass "GCONF=YES" to the script. libmusicbrainz3 is an optional dependency.
