mplayer missing in Fremantle
Mediabox and MyTube are available in Fremantle extras-devel but they can't be installed due to a common dependency: mplayer.
Anybody thinking of making mplayer available in Fremantle? And also a question: what about using the Maemo Media Application Framework as a backend? |
Re: mplayer missing in Fremantle
AFAIK no one is maintaining currently mplayer after Serge gave up on it. Simple recompile will probably be enough though, maybe the debmaster can do it?

omapfb won't recognise N900 as valid tablet however. Here's to hoping that next tablet is powerful enough to just survive off xv driver :)

Re: mplayer missing in Fremantle
MediaBox is going to use the Maemo Media Application Framework eventually. But it's not there yet. For now, gstreamer might be usable as backend on Fremantle. I'm going to upload a special version for Fremantle without the mplayer dependency.

I would assume upstream to work out of the box. Would be great if someone at least tried mplayer compilation to see if it works.

Re: mplayer missing in Fremantle
Bump! Are there any developers interested in getting mplayer into extras-devel for us?
If not, it looks like we'll have VLC to use as an alternative backend... |
Re: mplayer missing in Fremantle
Even on n810 the xv backend is now, with, iirc, -dr -vo xv:ck-method=auto almost as fast as omapfb.. Regular mplayer should fare well, and there'd probably be sense in taking a newer version than rc3, as NEON has been getting lots of attention recently-ish.

Well, tried compiling the rc2 port yesterday and it compiles at least.
