[MPlayer-users] MPlayer 1rc1 GUI ISO-8859-2 issues

[Jerzy Goca]

Hi all,
I am trying to get MPlayer to display properly polish 'ogonki' in the gui.
Analysis of the code showed me that it can't work properly in my system
because I don't use the utf-8 encoding (I am happy with my ISO-8859-2).
All the messages in the console are displayed correctly and are
correctly translated.
I'm trying to correct it, changing the encoding into utf8 (using the
glib-2 conversion functions) just before passing the strings to the GTK+
functions. This however will break the GTK+-1 compatibility.
As I see, the gui is just a legacy of GTK+-1. Are you going to keep this
legacy?
Sorry to say, the code is rather ugly. So far I found several memory
leaks in the code in the file fs.c.
While analysing the code, I tend to think of rewriting the gtk part of
the gui from the very beginning (keeping the existing functionality).
However it would be a waste of time if you are going to release a new
version soon....
Are there any plans to correct/change the gui in the next release?
I think that MPlayer as a whole is a very good piece of software and is
worth spending several hours of my free time....
