The version of mplayer shown at that site is 1.0, which is curious since http://www.mplayerhq.hu/design7/dload.html shows the most recent tarball version as 1.0rc2. If you want an up-to-date, root holes patched version then you have to check out the SVN source and compile it yourself. Their SVN server also requires that your client be at least version 1.5.0. The subversion package in OpenSolaris IPS is 1.4.3 but subversion-1.5.2 builds easily. -- This message posted from opensolaris.org
