Hi,
While trying to build a scraper for rte.ie for their archived video
which they make available in through smil links I found that mplayer
didn't support a particular smil format they use. One of the guys I work
with kindly patched it. It seems that mplayer didn't support the SMIL
3.0 Tiny Profile
It has been submitted to the mplayer-users list but he isn't subscribed,
I guess it's held for moderation so I've attached his email here in case
anyone is interested. You should also be able to follow it on these links.

Hi MPlayer folks,
as always, many thanks for your awesome piece of software which I, for one,
use all over the place.
During a discussion on the Irish MythTV list, a bug was identified in
mplayer's SMIL detection.
http://www.fdntech.com/pipermail/mythtv-ireland/2009-January/thread.html#311
I've come up with a patch (see below) based on on the current ubuntu jaunty
mplayer source (2:1.0~rc2-0ubuntu17). This allows mplayer to play this
smil file:
http://dynamic.rte.ie/av/228-2476865-512-288.smil
which is couldn't before (unless you opened the file and snagged the rtsp
file out manually.
I'm not on the list, so if you could Cc me on any discussion I'd appreciate
it. I'm unsure if the comparison should be to "<!DOCTYPE smil" or just
"<!DOCTYPE". Perhaps someone might know better?
Thanks in advance,
Gavin
