Install Veritas Player (Python/Gtk3)

A media player Gui, which uses Videolan's Vlc.py as a backend. The design aims to be lightweight. The player should have all the commonly needed features. This project is still under active development, so give feedback if you have any. Visit the website below.

DOWNLOAD

Dependencies:

python3-gi and python3 should be enough in most cases. You might need to install something more depending on your distribution of choice. Also, the Vlc Python module is required. By default you should keep the Vlc module and Veritas Player in the same folder.

Download Veritas Player (as zip archive)

The zip archive also includes vlc.py and licensing information in it.

Running Veritas

Decompress the archive.

If needed, make files executable with chmod +x some_file.py #The files should be executable by default.

Run with command: python some_location/veritas.py

Tip. If you have songs on a cd and you want to get them to your computer, consider installing sound-juicer. Of course, there are many other good alternatives as well, but sound-juicer remains my personal favorite.

The v.1 release of Veritas Player has the following functionality:

– It can play songs.

– It can open video files and play them.

– It has all the regular playback functionalities:Play, pause, rewind, go forward etc.

-It can open dvds and play them. Note. If your dvd is encrypted then you might need to install libdvdcss2 or similar from some online sources. Libdvdcss2 is not included in Veritas Player by default – and never will be.

– Support for some common shortkeys. See more from the about dialog of Veritas.

– Vertias has a slider, which calculates the progress of a song or media file. If the slider is moved then the position is changed.

-Veritas prints the name of the file that is currently playing and also the number of elements in the playlist.

Tip. Veritas does not currently move automatically to the next object on the playlist. You can easily navigate between previous/next objects by writing the object number to the line and pressing enter. See the screenshot above.
