[MPlayer-users] Re: Help needed for using mplayer with freevo

[Sebastian Kaps]

Hi!

> What is freevo, by the way?

See <http://freevo.sourceforge.net/about.html>:

"Freevo is an open-source home theatre PC platform based on Linux and a
number of open-source audio/video tools.
MPlayer and/or Xine can be used to play audio and video files in most
popular formats.
Freevo can be used both for a standalone PVR computer with a TV+remote,
as well as on a regular desktop computer using the monitor and
keyboard."

Ah, thanks! This finally works :-)
