Banshee, alternative Linux à Windows Media Player
Mis à jour le
Notre avis
Banshee can replace Windows Media Player for local audio and basic video playback, but only for users who prioritize music library management over simplicity and active support. It handles common formats like MP3, MP4, and FLAC through GStreamer, and offers extras like podcast support and device sync. However, being discontinued means no bug fixes or security updates. For lightweight, reliable playback, VLC or mpv are better choices. Banshee suits users already in the GNOME ecosystem who want a media organizer, not just a player.

Ce qui change

- No support for WMV or other proprietary Windows formats by default

Banshee relies on GStreamer for decoding, so it can play MP3, MP4, AVI, and MKV if the correct plugins are installed. However, support for WMV is limited and often requires non-free or additional codecs, which may not be available or functional. FLAC and MP3 playback works well out of the box. There's no built-in tool to convert or export files, so users needing format conversion must rely on external tools. Banshee reads standard file structures but may not handle all Windows Media Player playlists (like WPL) reliably.
Passer de Windows Media Player à Banshee, étape par étape
- Install Banshee from your distribution's repository (e.g., 'sudo apt install banshee')
- Launch Banshee and set your music folder as the library location
- Let it scan your audio files; edit metadata if needed
- Manually add video files to playlists, as video support is limited
- Install GStreamer plugins for best format compatibility (e.g., gstreamer-plugins-bad)
- Avoid relying on it for WMV or other Windows-specific formats without testing first

Questions fréquentes
Can Banshee play WMV files?
Not reliably. WMV support depends on proprietary GStreamer plugins that may not be available or functional. Consider VLC for better WMV compatibility.
Is Banshee still safe to use?
It's usable but not recommended long-term. Being discontinued means no security patches, so exposure to malicious media files is a risk.
Does Banshee support playlists from Windows Media Player?
It reads M3U and some common formats, but not WPL (Windows Playlist) files directly. Convert them to M3U for compatibility.
