That's what was used in mplayer.bb (without 2 in oe-classic days), mplayer2 was more active and better alternative at that time so only mplayer2 was migrated from oe-classic. > 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. If mplayer(1) is alive again, then I would accept patch replacing mplayer2 or you can restore it as mplayer.bb and keep both alternatives. Regards, -- Martin 'JaMa' Jansa jabber: [email protected]
