<p>Iddqd: Let there be manga. Rather undetailed thus far though.</p> <hr /> <div>Manga (漫画) is the Japanese word for comic. In the English speaking world the term refers to any comic of Japanese origin. (Unaltered) manga is read from right to left, mimicing the older of the current Japanese writing systems. Although many translations and [[Scanlation|scanlations]] flip the images to make manga seem more familier to casual comic fans, this proccess is very unpopular with the majority of manga fans, as it is clearly not "how the artist intended".</div>

<p>Iddqd: Removed some of the misinformation. New opening chant.</p> <hr /> <div>Anime (pronounced /ˈænɪmeɪ/ ), in the English speaking world, refers to cartoons from Japan. It is a loanword from the Japanese word アニメ short for animation (アニメーション). Contrary to popular belief, the drawing style does not define the term, nor does all anime (or manga for that matter) share a common drawing style.<br /> <br /> Many Web sites are devoted to Anime. Anime is the prevalent style in Japanese Comic Books or Manga. In Japan, the Comic Book (or Manga) is a popular form of entertainment for adults as well as for younger audiences. Story lines are often very sophisticated and complex and extend into episodic series. Typical Anime themes or genres include Ninja and other Martial Arts; the Supernatural or Horror Story; the Romance; and Science Fiction including Robots and Space Ships.<br /> <br /> Variations of Anime called Hentai are sexually-oriented. Doujinshi is the term for "Autonomous Comics," or Comics written and distributed by independent and often amateur devotees of Anime (The Fans).<br /> <br /> === Where can I learn more about codecs/anime/manga/Japanese culture? ''(redirected from FAQ)''=== <br /> [http://www.google.com Google] and [http://en.wikipedia.org Wikipedia] are your friends.<br /> For specific information on Japanese animations, there are 3 main resources: [http://anidb.net AniDB], [http://www.animenewsnetwork.com AnimeNewsNetwork (ANN)], and [http://www.animenfo.com AnimeNFO]. Each site offers unique information on any given title.<br /> <br /> For specific information on manga, there's [http://www.mangaupdates.com MangaUpdates] and [http://www.animenewsnetwork.com AnimeNewsNetwork (ANN)].</div>

<p>Iddqd: /* KMPlayer (closed) */</p> <hr /> <div>== K-Lite (closed?) ==<br /> <br /> I removed '''Recommended''' from K-Lite Mega Codec Pack. I can understand why the Lite pack would be recommended but not the Mega Codec Pack since it has a ton of unnessesary codecs. [[User:Deimon|Deimon]] 13:00, 24 August 2008 (UTC)<br /> <br /> I do not see why '''Recommended''' was removed from K-Lite. K-lite has served me for years and has worked without error and is combined with WMPC makes it one of the best codec pack. If you only beef with it is that it says mega pack then just make it be titled " K-Lite ".<br /> [[User:Mur|Mur]] 14:18, 25 August 2008 (UTC)<br /> <br /> Everything BoxTorrents are about is anime/manga related stuff, right? And for that the users '''only''' need a minimal pack as CCCP. And as it's stated under CCCP, it's only reason for existing is to give people watching anime a useful codec pack '''without''' the use of extensive codec packs as K-Lite. Further on, since the majority of the fansubs groups '''only''' recommend CCCP I believe that BoxTorrent should follow this as well. And remember, nothing deserves to be entitled '''Recommended''' just because one user likes it. To be entitled '''Recommended''' we need to seriously debate if it deserves it. --[[User:Deimon|Deimon]] 18:02, 25 August 2008 (UTC)<br /> <br /> Then why don't you make a poll on which codec pack people use on the forums then.[[User:Mur|Mur]] 20:21, 25 August 2008 (UTC)<br /> <br /> If you don't like it, then change it! thats why this is a '''wiki'''. --[[User:MarchHare|MarchHare]] 02:39, 26 August 2008 (UTC)<br /> <br /> Personally I really want to know what people are using and if my opinion is one sided. It would be nice to see what the community as a whole thinks and not just a few people. [[User:Mur|Mur]] 06:54, 26 August 2008 (UTC)<br /> <br /> <br /> == Organized (closed) ==<br /> <br /> The page would be better if it was categorised as [[BT Clients]] is, with Good / Acceptable / Bad, and not in alphabetic order as it is now. [[User:Deimon|Deimon]] 13:00, 24 August 2008 (UTC)<br /> <br /> Altered to Recommended/Not Recommended to match the BT_Clients page. --[[User:Deimon|Deimon]] 07:34, 7 September 2008 (UTC)<br /> <br /> <br /> == MPlayer (active) ==<br /> <br /> I'm not changing this right now, 'cause I don't want to start an edit war or anything, but MPlayer is only "acceptable"? It uses its own codec tree without polluting your installation! That's a big plus, right there. Joystick interface, infa-red remote control, unparalleled keyboard control... And there's been a user friendly Windows GUI version out for some while now. So, gimme some good arguments why it shouldn't go under "good" or perhaps "一番". [[User:iddqd|iddqd]]<br /> <br /> Maybe because it's a fact that less multiple choices makes a better and easier life? As CCCP only includes Zoom and MPC I guess that's why those are the only ones recommended, but you might be right to put MPlayer as a recommended as well since it's a cross platform player. --[[User:Deimon|Deimon]] 07:28, 7 September 2008 (UTC)<br /> <br /> Less choices make things better? It's not relevent or anthing, but I disagree with that statement more than anyone has disagreed with anything, ever.<br /> Anyway, in hindsight, perhaps MPlayer is better where it is. The emphesis on keyboard control over menus is sure to confuse people who are only familiar with standard Windows players. [[User:iddqd|iddqd]]<br /> <br /> == KMPlayer (closed) ==<br /> <br /> Out of curiosity, is the player labeled as KMPlayer intended to be [http://kmplayer.kde.org/ Konqueror Media Player (KMPlayer)] or [http://www.kmplayer.com/forums/index.php The KMPlayer]? I honestly don't know if the first runs MKV files or not. It's not listed on the wikipedia MKV page as one that can run them, but that is, in fact, a wiki so it could be wrong. I personally use the second to play files now, and have found it to be fairly impressive.<br /> <br /> Do you really need to ask that? The link points at [http://kmplayer.kde.org/ Konqueror Media Player (KMPlayer)], so how could you believe otherwise? But since you asked, I changed the title. --[[User:Deimon|Deimon]] 07:28, 7 September 2008 (UTC)<br /> <br /> Konqueror Media Player is for KDE, not Windows. I've never heard of this other KMPlayer before now, but it's unrelated to the KDE one. -iddqd</div>

To be entitled '''Recommended''' we need to seriously debate if it deserves it. --[[User:Deimon|Deimon]] 18:02, 25 August 2008 (UTC)<br /> <br /> Then why don't you make a poll on which codec pack people use on the forums then.[[User:Mur|Mur]] 20:21, 25 August 2008 (UTC)<br /> <br /> If you don't like it, then change it! thats why this is a '''wiki'''. --[[User:MarchHare|MarchHare]] 02:39, 26 August 2008 (UTC)<br /> <br /> Personally I really want to know what people are using and if my opinion is one sided. It would be nice to see what the community as a whole thinks and not just a few people. [[User:Mur|Mur]] 06:54, 26 August 2008 (UTC)<br /> <br /> <br /> == Organized (closed) ==<br /> <br /> The page would be better if it was categorised as [[BT Clients]] is, with Good / Acceptable / Bad, and not in alphabetic order as it is now. [[User:Deimon|Deimon]] 13:00, 24 August 2008 (UTC)<br /> <br /> Altered to Recommended/Not Recommended to match the BT_Clients page. --[[User:Deimon|Deimon]] 07:34, 7 September 2008 (UTC)<br /> <br /> <br /> == MPlayer (active) ==<br /> <br /> I'm not changing this right now, 'cause I don't want to start an edit war or anything, but MPlayer is only "acceptable"? It uses its own codec tree without polluting your installation! That's a big plus, right there. Joystick interface, infa-red remote control, unparalleled keyboard control... And there's been a user friendly Windows GUI version out for some while now. So, gimme some good arguments why it shouldn't go under "good" or perhaps "一番". [[User:iddqd|iddqd]]<br /> <br /> Maybe because it's a fact that less multiple choices makes a better and easier life? As CCCP only includes Zoom and MPC I guess that's why those are the only ones recommended, but you might be right to put MPlayer as a recommended as well since it's a cross platform player. --[[User:Deimon|Deimon]] 07:28, 7 September 2008 (UTC)<br /> <br /> Less choices make things better? It's not relevent or anthing, but I disagree with that statement more than anyone has disagreed with anything, ever.<br /> Anyway, in hindsight, perhaps MPlayer is better where it is. The emphesis on keyboard control over menus is sure to confuse people who are only familiar with standard Windows players. [[User:iddqd|iddqd]]<br /> <br /> == KMPlayer (closed) ==<br /> <br /> Out of curiosity, is the player labeled as KMPlayer intended to be [http://kmplayer.kde.org/ Konqueror Media Player (KMPlayer)] or [http://www.kmplayer.com/forums/index.php The KMPlayer]? I honestly don't know if the first runs MKV files or not. It's not listed on the wikipedia MKV page as one that can run them, but that is, in fact, a wiki so it could be wrong. I personally use the second to play files now, and have found it to be fairly impressive.<br /> <br /> Do you really need to ask that? The link points at [http://kmplayer.kde.org/ Konqueror Media Player (KMPlayer)], so how could you believe otherwise? But since you asked, I changed the title. --[[User:Deimon|Deimon]] 07:28, 7 September 2008 (UTC)</div>

I like how its organized now. i wish i could say the same about the Windows playback page, but thats under hot debate right now. --[[User:MarchHare|MarchHare]] 08:53, 24 August 2008 (UTC)<br /> <br /> Wouldn't it be better to order it from Good -> Bad instead of Bad/Good/Acceptable as it's now? And maybe undercategories within each section by OS...? --[[User:Deimon|Deimon]] 11:02, 24 August 2008 (UTC)<br /><br /> - I've changed it, looks better now. --[[User:Deimon|Deimon]] 12:27, 24 August 2008 (UTC)<br /> <br /> Moved Vuze (Azureus) from Acceptable to Good, since it's one of the two only recommended clients. Also corrected it's title and added a short desc. about it's community part. --[[User:Deimon|Deimon]] 14:34, 24 August 2008 (UTC)<br /> <br /> I was under the impression that Bitspirit was very similar to Bitcomet. There doesn't seem to be much discussion about it, so I won't be moving it to "Bad". <br /> [[User:Kanzar|Kanzar]] 10:30, 26 August 2008 (UTC)<br /> <br /> Someone moved BitSpirit back... Anyway, it's not well documentation on it so there's no real reason to move it to "Bad" unless we hear complains from the users. --[[User:Deimon|Deimon]] 05:54, 28 August 2008 (UTC)<br /> <br /> :Well, I wasn't the one to move it there in the first place... <_< Ah well.

It's based on on libTorrent, just like rTorrent (which is currently under "Good") --[[User:Iindigo|Iindigo]] 22:00, 27 August 2008 (UTC)<br /> <br /> Clients features more than just what the lib it's based on features. I don't know who moved rTorrent to recommended but only Vuze and uTorrent is recommended by the staff of BoxTorrents, if my memory serves me. This may be a wiki but I don't like people making decisions based on only their own experiences, which involves a bigger part of the community. Can someone who actually have used these applications (Transmission and rTorrent) write the pro's and con's about them, so we can decide which to put under recommended. I don't like the fact with rTorrent that it's terminal based as I think all recommended must at least have a GUI for easier control of the applications, since not everyone on Linux use terminal often. --[[User:Deimon|Deimon]] 05:55, 28 August 2008 (UTC)<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> ===Shareza===<br /> <br /> Why is '''Shareza''' not suggested? I know that there is a false Shareza V4 which is bundled with adware but the real V2 doesn't have that. --[[User:Deimon|Deimon]] 12:27, 24 August 2008 (UTC)<br /> <br /> I would like to notify all people concerned with Shareaza that they're making a new client, It's very much and alpha and crashes alot, but the team is taking shareazaV2's code and re-formulating it from the ground up. It doesn't need to be included yet, but watched at the very least. http://www.pantheraproject.com/ <br /> Reference -> http://torrentfreak.com/shareaza-team-fight-back-with-panthera-project-080818/<br /> --[[User:Aranjedeath|Aranjedeath]]<br /> <br /> Shareaza is a bad client because the upload is very low ;)<br /> (i am not 100% sure if this is for V2 too, but i thought so)<br /> <br /> <br /> ===New Client Suggestions===<br /> <br /> There's a new client called [http://www.binarynotions.com/halite-bittorrent-client Halite] that looks to be 'the next uTorrent'. Also worth keeping an eye on. <br /> [[User:Kanzar|Kanzar]] 10:29, 26 August 2008 (UTC)<br /> <br /> Read about it in TorrentFreak a while back... Tested it but it's not as small as they said (RAM usage, it's not less than uTorrent, which they state), and the scan for how much percent completed you have of one torrent takes a long time. Sorry, forgot to add my byline :P. --[[User:Deimon|Deimon]] 23:44, 29 August 2008 (UTC)<br /> <br /> <br /> ===Web Frontend Section?===<br /> I was thinking about chanting up a section centered around web interfaces for command-line torrent clients, and general advice for dedicated torrent servers. Buuut, I'm thinking maybe that's way outside the scope of this document. Would anybody be interested in such a thing? Perhaps as a seperate page altogether? -[[User:iddqd|iddqd]]</div>

<p>Iddqd: I just had to fix that horrible Americanised pronounciation. Added the katakana, too. Really, there's so much that needs fixing on this page...</p> <hr /> <div>Anime (アニメ pronounced /ˈænɪmeɪ/ ) is a term for a style of Japanese Comic Book and Video Cartoon Animation in which the main characters have large Doe-Like Eyes. Many Web sites are devoted to Anime. Anime is the prevalent style in Japanese Comic Books or Manga. In Japan, the Comic Book (or Manga) is a popular form of entertainment for adults as well as for younger audiences. Story lines are often very sophisticated and complex and extend into episodic series. Typical Anime themes or genres include Ninja and other Martial Arts; the Supernatural or Horror Story; the Romance; and Science Fiction including Robots and Space Ships. Foils for the Main Characters, including Robots, Monsters, or just plain bad people, often but not always, lack the Doe-Eyed quality. <br /> <br /> Variations of Anime called Hentai are sexually-oriented. Doujinshi is the term for "Autonomous Comics," or Comics written and distributed by independent and often amateur devotees of Anime (The Fans).<br /> <br /> === Where can I learn more about codecs/anime/manga/Japanese culture? ''(redirected from FAQ)''=== <br /> [http://www.google.com Google] and [http://en.wikipedia.org Wikipedia] are your friends.<br /> For specific information on Japanese animations, there are 3 main resources: [http://anidb.net AniDB], [http://www.animenewsnetwork.com AnimeNewsNetwork (ANN)], and [http://www.animenfo.com AnimeNFO]. Each site offers unique information on any given title.<br /> <br /> For specific information on manga, there's [http://www.mangaupdates.com MangaUpdates] and [http://www.animenewsnetwork.com AnimeNewsNetwork (ANN)].</div>

<p>Iddqd: </p> <hr /> <div>Personally I really want to know what people are using and if my opinion is one sided. It would be nice to see what the community as a whole thinks and not just a few people. [[User:Mur|Mur]] 06:54, 26 August 2008 (UTC)<br /> <br /> If you don't like it, then change it! thats why this is a '''wiki'''. --[[User:MarchHare|MarchHare]] 02:39, 26 August 2008 (UTC)<br /> <br /> Then why don't you make a poll on which codec pack people use on the forums then.[[User:Mur|Mur]] 20:21, 25 August 2008 (UTC)<br /> <br /> Everything BoxTorrents are about is anime/manga related stuff, right? And for that the users '''only''' need a minimal pack as CCCP. And as it's stated under CCCP, it's only reason for existing is to give people watching anime a useful codec pack '''without''' the use of extensive codec packs as K-Lite. Further on, since the majority of the fansubs groups '''only''' recommend CCCP I believe that BoxTorrent should follow this as well. And remember, nothing deserves to be entitled '''Recommended''' just because one user likes it. To be entitled '''Recommended''' we need to seriously debate if it deserves it. --[[User:Deimon|Deimon]] 18:02, 25 August 2008 (UTC)<br /> <br /> I do not see why '''Recommended''' was removed from K-Lite. K-lite has served me for years and has worked without error and is combined with WMPC makes it one of the best codec pack. If you only beef with it is that it says mega pack then just make it be titled " K-Lite ".<br /> [[User:Mur|Mur]] 14:18, 25 August 2008 (UTC)<br /> <br /> I removed '''Recommended''' from K-Lite Mega Codec Pack. I can understand why the Lite pack would be recommended but not the Mega Codec Pack since it has a ton of unnessesary codecs. [[User:Deimon|Deimon]] 13:00, 24 August 2008 (UTC)<br /> <br /> The page would be better if it was categorised as [[BT Clients]] is, with Good / Acceptable / Bad, and not in alphabetic order as it is now. [[User:Deimon|Deimon]] 13:00, 24 August 2008 (UTC)<br /> <br /> I'm not changing this right now, 'cause I don't want to start an edit war or anything, but MPlayer is only "acceptable"? It uses its own codec tree without polluting your installation! That's a big plus, right there. Joystick interface, infa-red remote control, unparalleled keyboard control... And there's been a user friendly Windows GUI version out for some while now. So, gimme some good arguments why it shouldn't go under "good" or perhaps "一番". [[User:iddqd|iddqd]]</div>

<p>Iddqd: </p> <hr /> <div>== No 'codec pack' things here, huh? ==<br /> <br /> I believe,covering Totem and Kaffeine. And mplayer, of course.<br /> Btw, AFAIK only mplayer features libass now, so it's a natural choice for a perfectionist. :)<br /> /ajaxas<br /> <br /> <br /> Is it necessary to add installation instructions for every combination of player and distribution, or<br /> should we just add a generic section referring users to their package manager to install software?<br /> Also don't most distributions already come with a load of players preinstalled, so perhaps we can just list the configuration options<br /> required to get the most out of them. /[[User:Daf0x|Daf0x]]<br /> <br /> I think it's important to list the different methods for package managers, it helps Linux n00bs figure out the system they use, it's very encouraging.<br /> Those preinstalled players are usually just useless frontends to broken MPlayer and Xine installations. Never mind encouraging mediocrity, it's easier to get people in the mindset of starting from scratch. All we need is instructions for a fully codec'd up MPlayer and Xine, as those are the most popular players. /[[User:iddqd|iddqd]]</div>

To do this go to the options, general section, general tab, output drivers, Video, and set it to <tt>x11</tt> - this will use software rendering.
