Hello! I really decided to fork and at sf.net already available for download mplayerxp-0.0.0. Yes! I found out that threading core provides UNREAL performance. Yes! I watched 540x288@25fps DivX-MPEG4 movie without frame dropping (real-timely) on Cel1-266 with simultaneously working gcc. (vidix+ffdivx+xp+double). I was amazed and decide that the fork is best solution for me. (Simply because the mplayerxp which I builded solves all my needs already now). I know mplayerxp is buggy for now and won't work on SMP. Probably it has other lacks. But I'm ready to fight them. About my planes: As it was written in TODO within package: mplayerxp should be smallest player due moving codecs out from player. It will call them on demand through dlopen - it will solve many problems: like: - simplest configuring - user can download codec when it will want to use it. It requires other design of libmpcodec - I should recognize binary available codecs on the fly (like what is divxdecore.so: odivx or divx4). I'm not sure - maybe kill GUI (it should be front-end means independed project). And probably - kill mencoder - I'm not mencoder developer, I'm even not mencoder user :). I'll try to save all -vo -ao drivers. What about -vc -ac - they should be totally revised. When I finish restructurizing of source tree - I'll open CVS. (I really don't know how I can remove subdir on sf.net :( ). Thanks you for excellent player! Probably I will import some parts (like libmpdemux) in the future. Best regards! Nick
