Mplayer issuesMplayer issuesPosted Jan 22, 2003 10:55 UTC (Wed) by oever (subscriber, #987)In reply to: Mplayer issues by erich Parent article: GNU/Linux Media Player Roundup (LinuxOrbit) MPlayer is 100% GPL since version 0.90pre1 released march 2002. I suggest you visit www.mplayerhq.hu to download the most recent version 0.90pre3. This one resolves some window manager problems.

Mplayer issues Posted Jan 22, 2003 11:08 UTC (Wed) by oever (subscriber, #987) [Link] Oops, I meant rc3 instead of pre3.
Mplayer issues Posted Jan 22, 2003 16:57 UTC (Wed) by erich (subscriber, #7127) [Link] There was some post this year to debian-devel claiming that there are still issues. Maybe not in mplayer source itself, but in some library used by mplayer: maybe not some software licencing issues, but some patent problems.I hate these legal people... they manage to harm the users, but not to provide protection from their competitors... (RealNetworks seems to have recognised that it will loose against Microsoft taking over the video-streaming market...) Looks like i'm running rc2, i hope the annoying windowmanager-issue is indeed solved in rc3. Looking at the mailing lists, there apparently have been some ugly flamewars between mplayer people and a maintainer preparing debian packages... Someone compared that flamewar with Theo de Raat and DjB...
Mplayer issues Posted Jan 23, 2003 4:47 UTC (Thu) by Strike (guest, #861) [Link] MPlayer debs: http://marillat.free.fr He (Christian Marillat, also does a lot of GNOME packages among some 100-odd other of his packages) hass been packaging them since (apparently) before they were even allowed to be packaged, so they work just fine (and there are even processor optimized versions as well).
