Experimental MPlayer2 for Windows

[redxii]

Try disabling dvdnav (menus) if it isn't already. Otherwise playback is fine here without dvdnav either disc or folder.

New build available. dvdnav (menus) is still broken and will probably be removed. Install SMPlayer 0.8.2.4914 to fix the osd font size; http://sourceforge.net/projects/smplaye ... /Unstable/

osd font size
the timer is normal size
the volume/seek bar is twice as size

Tried this new build; mplayer2-2.0-701-gf50d78a & smplayer-0.8.2.4914-win32.exe.
Windows XP-home SP3 (32-bit).

The -nofontconfig error: fixed.
OSD, (letters & numbers) was huge: fixed.
OSD, seek- volume- video equalizer-bar fully present again, slightly bigger. Seems fixed to me.

Thanks for your efforts,

Sourcefan.

MPlayer2's OSD is simply bigger than and rendered completely different than MPlayer, if you want it smaller you can try playing with '-subfont-autoscale 0 -subfont-osd-scale x -subfont-text-scale y' where x and y are numbers or the subtitles settings to get it smaller but they'll affect everything like subtitles and the timer/messages.

Libdvdnav (that handle's opening dvds with menus) was broken and found the problem in the code they changed and reverted it, it affected mplayer too so mplayer2 is keeping dvd menu support after all..

New build available after it's done uploading: mplayer2-2.0-702-g4c0c31a

tried mplayer2-2.0-702-g4c0c31a with smplayer-0.8.2.4919-win32
i was telling you in a early post that the sound is weaker
tested on avi and mp4 files (ten each, volume normalization on)
six out of ten avi files the sound was weaker
ten out of ten mp4 files the sound was weaker
first time i thought it's random
so i tested them again
but it's not
the files with weaker sound showed that problem again

I don't know where the problem is. mplayer2 is a fork that also uses Libav (it too a fork, of FFmpeg), different developers than mplayer. mplayer2 doesn't even play my MPEG-TS WinTV recordings which is a real bummer. It doesn't appear they even give a flip about if a feature works properly or not the usual response being "well who even uses that anymore?"

for now redxii
like mplayer, someday it will get better
too bad there are so few people like you
thank you and keep up the good work
