Totem, alternative Linux à VLC

Mis à jour le

Notre avis

Totem can replace VLC for users who need a straightforward GNOME‑styled player and are comfortable with the default codec set provided by GStreamer. It handles the most common audio and video containers out of the box and integrates well with the desktop, but it lacks many of VLC’s advanced features such as extensive streaming protocols, fine‑grained transcoding options, and deep subtitle customization. For casual viewers or GNOME users who mainly watch local files, Totem is a solid choice; power users who rely on VLC’s broad format support and network tools may still prefer to keep VLC alongside it.

Ce qui fonctionne pareil

  • Plays a wide range of audio and video formats via built‑in codecs
  • Supports subtitles with automatic encoding detection
  • Provides fullscreen and windowed playback with hotkeys
  • Offers basic playlist functionality and drag‑and‑drop

Ce qui change

  • VLC includes built‑in network streaming and transcoding tools; Totem relies on external GStreamer plugins
  • VLC offers extensive subtitle styling and synchronization options; Totem’s subtitle handling is basic
  • VLC provides a large set of command‑line controls and scripting; Totem has limited command‑line options
  • VLC works the same across Windows, macOS and Linux; Totem is GNOME‑specific and not cross‑platform

Ouvrir vos fichiers VLC

Both players use the same container formats, so any file you can open in VLC will open in Totem as long as the required GStreamer plugins are installed. Totem does not export or convert files; if you need transcoding, you’ll have to use a separate tool such as FFmpeg.

Passer de VLC à Totem, étape par étape

  1. Install Totem from your distribution’s repository (e.g., sudo apt install totem)
  2. Ensure the gstreamer‑plugins‑good, -bad, and -ugly packages are installed for broader codec support
  3. Open your media files in Totem to verify playback; adjust default applications if needed
  4. If you use network streams, test them in Totem and fall back to VLC for protocols not supported
