Hi,
The version of mplayer2 available in meta-oe is almost 2.5 years old while
there seems to be active development around it. Is there a reason OE never
moved to a newer version?
The mplayer team officially releases tarballs from its website
https://www.mplayerhq.hu/design7/dload.html while they also provide svn access
through svn://svn.mplayerhq.hu/mplayer/trunk. I believe it would be a good idea
to move to one of these sources (I would prefer tar downloads myself) and use a
newer more robust (probably) version of mplayer2.
I didn't think to look anywhere other than their git tree which seems
to be abandoned (the version we are using is the latest out there)
I will be working on a new recipe to cater this if there are no objections but
I would really like to have some feedback before I do so.
I've been trying to fix up what we have now that OE-core has
abandoned libav, replacing it with a newer ffmpeg. Maybe I'll
give this a go myself if you'd like to wait a short while (perhaps
by tomorrow)?
