4. GNOME MPlayer
GNOME MPlayer is another video player that is only available on Linux platforms. It pretty much plays most file types and is quite similar to Totem player. Whatever Totem can't play, MPlayer should do the trick. It goes well with your existing video player as a backup.

Cons: Unappealing interface, requires some Linux knowledge to use
