Desktop recommendations

Postby kabads » Sun Aug 10, 2014 2:43 pm

I have a small raspberry pi running rtorrent and mediatomb. However, some of the files Idownload don't play through mediatorrent. What desktop would be lightweight but would run through the hdmi connection? I don't want any bling at all, just something that will display mplayer correctly.

Instead of a DE, look at all those lightweigth window managers. Try Openbox or Fluxbox for the classic windowed approach with minimize/maximze and floating windows or for example i3-wm or awesome for a tiling manager.

Maybe look into omxplayer-git playing things.
