If at all possible, could someone please update mplayer? The latest release -- 20110816 -- has some bugs in that caused many of my videos to not work.  It forced me to stick with the version before that -- 20110412.  Staying with the previous version of mplayer means I'm staying with the previous version of it's prerequisites, which in turn is preventing me from upgrading to Firefox 10. Those bugs have since been fixed, but rpmfusion hasn't released an update for mplayer.  I've been trying many different way to update the package myself, but my lack of familiarity of the lack of help from the mplayer community has made this a frustrating experience. I was hoping one of the mplayer maintainers could step up to the challenge, or at least provide me some help to do so.

I don't have a lot of time right now but I'll take a stab at it.

FWIW, I tried different SVN checkouts for mplayer and found that one from 2011-09-01 built successfully while one from 2011-10-01 failed, due to dependencies on a newer ffmpeg.  In fact, all the issues I encountered with later snapshots (later than 2011-10-01) were also related to dependencies on newer ffmpeg. Updating to 2011-09-01 (or perhaps 2011-09-XX) for F-16 does not seem useful.  Once ffmpeg in rpmfusion is updated to 0.10, then updating mplayer will probably be much easier.

Sadly, my track record hasn't been too good in this regard if it's anything complicated. Joseph D. Wagner

To compile ffmpeg , I have to update x264 or ./configure of ffmpeg complains about x264 < 0.118 After that ffmpeg compiles without problems.

It was a quick fix, Joe do this which is better http://www.serjux.com/mplayer/x264-nover.joe.patch Anyway I don't know if you have time but I my opinion rpm version should be 0.120 and not 0.0.0-0.34 . "cat  /usr/include/x264_config.h (...) #define X264_POINTVER "0.120.2151 a3f4407" I see that x264 is version 0.120 ! "

Hi, from this thread we have 4 candidates to maintain mplayer: Julian Sikorski which maintain the gnome-mplayer. I (Sérgio Basto) which co-maintain smplayer. Richard Shaw , which helps if it is need it (and have more admin permissions, though). Joseph D. Wagner which wish a mplayer updated. A little note: I though that was updated, for me mplayer with 18 months is updated :) I saw for the first time real HD (mkv) in my laptop with current mplayer on rpmfusion. we got ffmpeg-0_10 http://buildsys.rpmfusion.org/build-status/job.psp?uid=12011 and src.rpm http://buildsys.rpmfusion.org/logs/fedora-development-rpmfusion_free/1201... who begging packaging ? or how we organize ourselves? I will pick ffmeg 0.10 compile for F16 and try update mplayer on F16 too .

I also don't have a lot of time, but who have it ? I also could help on maintain this important package . BTW what is the state on F-16 ? Joseph Wagner, where is your work about mplayer , what snap are you using and what spec ? Thanks, -- Sérgio M. B.
