Kweb’s OmxplayerGUI is a simple to use frontend omxplayer user interface program which comes bundled with Kweb Web Browser which is also called Minimal Kiosk Web Browser. Kweb is one of the most lightweight, fastest and more modern Raspbian web browsers with HTML5, hardware accelerated video for smooth video playback in Kweb3, JavaScript, and CSS support. Omxplayer is a command line media player which can smoothly play most video, and audio file formats like mp4, and mp3. It is the default media player for Raspbian. Omxplayer is the only popular Raspbian media player which has hardware acceleration when playing back video files, so even HD video files playback smoothly in the Raspberry Pi because it uses the powerful video chip on the Pi. Omxplayer can be used to playback both locally stored video, audio, and media playlist files, and stream video and audio files from the internet or your local home network.
OmxplayerGUI is a great front end user interface program for omxplayer because OmxplayerGUI can be used to easily resize, and move videos to different positions on your monitor in real-time with your computer mouse, so no command lines, and keyboard shortcuts are needed to change the size, and position of a video window on a monitor. No command lines are needed to control omxplayer playback options like play, pause, rewind, fast forward with OmxplayerGUI, and all the keyboard shortcuts for omxplayer works on OmxplayerGUI.

Minimal Kiosk Browser/Kweb is the best Raspberry Pi web browser with JavaScript, HTML5, and multimedia support. I like Kweb because it is very reliable, stable, and simple to use when I use Kweb in Raspbian which I have installed on the Raspberry Pi 2 with a 950MHz CPU, 1GB, and 8GB Class 10 MicroSD card installed on it. Kweb works on the the Raspberry Pi 1 with slower hardware. I think Kweb is one of the most important non-programming apps for the Raspberry Pi because Kweb is a web browser which is stable, and fast. The web browser on most modern computers these days are used for many tasks like watching videos, listening to music, and sometimes even basic office and school work.

There are a lot of music player software for Windows, and Linux. But, some music players can use more system resources like RAM, and CPU resources because of a more advance and bloated user interface, and having Internet ads, or too many features which are not needed to play music. But, there are now many lightweight music players which work fast even on older and slower Windows, and Linux computers, laptops, netbooks and tablets which have 256MB-1GB of RAM, a slower single core 800MHz or slower CPU, and a smaller storage drive which is 16GB or less which is still common on cheaper Windows 8 and 10 tablets and laptops.
Lightweight music players usually only have the basic features like playback buttons, playlist, playlist editor, and support for different audio file types like MP3, WMA and Ogg which you need to play music and audio files on your computer or tablets. A lot of lightweight music players has audio enhancement features which make your music sound better by using your soundcard’s hardware compared to using other players. [continue reading…]
