- that has brightness changes support
- a shell that from command line that can change volume, playlist up/down, and most important BRIGHTNESS UP/DoWN
- a embedded selection that it excludes the files from the playlist that it cannot be read due to crap format and do not message OK like totem ! just skip it
- that can support subtitles with larger fonts
- that has a clean playlist (with big fonts would be prefered)
- that supports lirc
- that supports xinerama where ever the mouse is located : right or left screen
- that works well (gmplayer hangs on vo ouput, files ... even. gxine displays OK when it cannot read it)
- that can save the settings from the program-shell
- do not crash ! (vlc media player crash as hell (stable debian))
- and that can Volume UP /volume DOWN that is only for the software, and independant of the PCM (like totem with up / down key for isntance)
thanks if you have any ideas ...

I really do not know if it meets all your requirements, but mplayer is the best video player ever (both in Unix and Windows worlds). Don't use the gui, cause it can't implement all the abilities which mplayer has.

You are damn right but hte problem is that mplayer cannot handle brightness +1
(gmplayer can but is pretty buggy and hangs on difficult format)
maybe could be fixing mplayer bug.
some lirc for mplayer:
Code:
############################MPLAYER###################################
#
###########################
# mplayer #
###########################
begin
button = Screen
prog = mplayer
config = vo_fullscreen
end
begin
prog = mplayer
button = ESC
repeat = 2
config = brightness -5
end
begin
prog = mplayer
button = Stop
repeat = 2
config = brightness +5
end
begin
prog = mplayer
button = Menu
config = osd
end
begin
button = Pause
prog = mplayer
config = pause
end
begin
button = Rewind
prog = mplayer
config = seek -15
repeat = 2
end
begin
button = Forward
prog = mplayer
config = seek +15
repeat = 2
end
begin
button = Left
prog = mplayer
config = seek -60
repeat = 2
end
begin
button = Right
prog = mplayer
config = seek +60
repeat = 2
end
begin
button = Next
prog = mplayer
config = pt_step 1
end
begin
button = Previous
prog = mplayer
config = pt_step -1
end
begin
button = dvd_stop
prog = mplayer
config = seek 0 1\npause
end
begin
button = dvd_zoom
prog = mplayer
config = quit
end
begin
button = Quit
prog = mplayer
config = quit
end
I also suggest mplayer; mplayer is kind of a the browser in the group of media players which first of all simply plays the media file and is _very_ tolerant if it comes to the actual quality of encoding.
But I never use the GUI.
And what do you mean with "mplayer can't change brightness +1"?
