As to the bugs, I have looked through them from time to time and they all looked outdated, were not reproducible or definitely not relevant anymore (like G3 PowerPC). I didn't want to meddle with them beyond a quick check as I don't know much about the process. > If you want to pick up maintenance of mplayer in Debian, please feel > free do that.

Finally we've also built the release packages, though not done the final steps for releasing yet (download links etc). http://mplayerhq.hu/MPlayer/releases/MPlayer-1.5.tar.xz is the release that supports FFmpeg 5.0
