[blfs-dev] MPlayer 1.2 released

[Fernando de Oliveira]

I'm posting just to inform, because don't think we want to change what
we are doing updating for each BLFS release. The release jokes with
those who were using previous release:

* you aren't using a 3 years old release, hopefully*

*If you are, read on and find out what you missed!*

2015-10-03, Saturday :: MPlayer 1.2 released
posted by the release team

FrameCounter

Our latest release was getting stale, so it's time to make a new one.

Mplayer 1.2 is compatible with the recent FFmpeg 2.8 release. The
tarball already includes a copy of FFmpeg, so you don't need to fetch it
separately.
Due to some big API changes coming to FFmpeg, this release will not work
with new FFmpeg master branch, nor with future FFmpeg releases.

If you want to follow the latest improvements in MPlayer and FFmpeg, you
are strongly encouraged to use Subversion HEAD and benefit from the
latest features and bug fixes.
You know how to do it. Because you aren't using a 3 years old release,
hopefully. If you are, read on and find out what you missed!

Have they fixed that part where a file that is being downloaded can not
be played continuously?

In previous versions of MPlayer, if you have the start of a file
downloaded, you could start playing it, and as the new data was being
downloaded, the playback would continue through the area that didn't
exist when it started. Then, about 3 years ago, that feature went away
so now you have to restart the playback when you consume the part of
the file that existed when you started playing. If they brought it back, all 
will be forgiven.

Maybe a bit unrelated but I can highly recommend mpv instead of mplayer. It's 
basically the successor to mplayer and mplayer2. It also links against a 
recent ffmpeg, has fixed the strange mplayer syntax command line options, can 
use all available hardware acceleration like vdpau, libva, etc.
