Great, I shall replace my own dodgy slackbuild with your undoubtedly more refined one :). I stole some build ideas from an Ubuntu guide where a couple of oddities with umplayer.spec and a poor setting within src/preferences.cpp were exposed...

Eric

Nice job. Thanks.

Thanks Eric!
UMPlayer working perfect here!

Works just fine here, too, and is the first MPlayer (G)UI that I really like! Thanks, Eric!
Only thing I want to find out now: How do I get DVB-T tv?

But thanks to Kaffeine I am not in hurry with that... ;)

I am also working on a better SlackBuild for the latest MPlayer source. The Slackware script (and mine) do not take into account that the MPlayer source no longer contains a 'ffmpeg' subdirectory - it has to be downloaded seprately and integrated.

And after that, I will create packages for mplayer2 which is a fork of MPlayer of which I have high expectations.

Eric

mplayer2 looks exciting, it might enable 1080 playback on less powerful hardware with minimal hassle, thanks once again for all your hard work.

+1 for me too. Kaffiene makes watching TV easy but if it was as easy with mplayer I would have one less program to track.
