New MPlayer!

<< < (4/4)

Doctor V:
The only reason I can think of for it not being 1.0 already is that the people making it wanted to support every codec known to man first (which they practically do now).  I also think they should work to make installation much easier, as it is you have to dl all the codecs, and the skins (should at least come with a default), and a font, and package them automatically, plus make vorbis on by default.  As it is there is still a hell of a lot of dling unpacking and putting x files in x directorys, plus a long long list of options that are put after the ./configure.  As far a functionality goes though, its certainly ready.

beltorak0:
one of the problems with flash and mozilla is a sound issue.  flash tries to take direct control of the sound device, and hangs if you are using kde sound (arts).  the fix: configure the mozilla apps to start with the artsdsp soundwrapper: "artsdsp mozilla %u".  macromedia knows about the problem, but doesn't plan on fixing it.  I can't remember the bugzilla report on it.

-t.

Nobber:
For anyone who agrees with Doctor V, there's a good guide to installing mplayer (with all the extra bits and pieces) here.

voidmain:
Or, if you are a Red Hat or Debian user:

# apt-get install mplayer-skins

Kintaro:
Im downloading the source of it now... I might install it on my NetBSD Box.
