MPlayer is a movie player for Linux (runs on many other Unices, and non-x86 CPUs, see the documentation). It plays most MPEG, VOB, AVI, Ogg/OGM, VIVO, ASF/WMA/WMV, QT/MOV/MP4, FLI, RM, NuppelVideo, YUV4MPEG, FILM, RoQ, PVA files, supported by many native, XAnim, and Win32 DLL codecs. You can watch VideoCD, SVCD, DVD, 3ivx, DivX 3/4/5 and even WMV movies, too (without the avifile library).

What advantages does this version offer? I'd really like to be able to listen to real audio streams with mplayer, I wonder if this new version can do that.

It would be really nice for pdaxrom to have the GUI-enabled mplayer, along with some default skin and everything else already set up to be instantly usable without any command line at all. |

AFAIK real, quicktime are played back through the binary windows dll ie native code for i386, so unless
an open source codec is written (unlikely, and there may be licensing problems) or real or apple provides lib for arm I would say that the chance to play these file on the Z are 0. |

I really don't know what the advantages are, I only tried to compile against the AtiCore library. Maybe I will update this package with a gui or something...

Scott His mplayer ipk & fluxbox theme is in the unstable feed @ pdaxrom.org. Looks like he's been too busy compiling aps to update his website

At my website you will find an updated version.
New features: - GUI - you can change the volume now with the "*" and "/", just add "-af volume" to the startup line... |

New MPlayer looks pretty promising!
But I discovered I can no longer playback vorbis music wrapped in ogg container. I'm wondering if this release would require me to specify something explicitly, or maybe ogg/vorbis support is just not compiled in ? |

I had a couple of problems installing this package but that was due to bugs in the CONTROL/control file (please remove the spaces from the end of the lines, and add the dependcy to libungif
). I also had trouble with mplayer not finding its font, but I fixed that by creating a symlink:CODE ln -s /share/mplayer/font/font-arial-iso-8859-1/font-arial-18-iso-8859-1 ~/.mplayer/font Is there a reason why the fonts and skins are installed in /share rather than /usr/share?  The ability to change the volume is great but is there a way to rebind the keys so I can use / and . rather than / and *? Is it just me or does the gmplayer GUI make playback unbearably slow?

BTW, is it compiled for 1.1.0 RC5? Or just 1.0.5?
