Experimental MPlayer2 for Windows

[nikkho]

Could you please build 64 bit mplayer2 too?
For some reason lachs0r are quite outdated now (http://mplayer2.srsfckn.biz/).

Give it a try.. links in first post. If you get a crash or other regression please test the 32-bit version and post a verbose mplayer log so I know whether or not it is directly related to the compiler.

It works line on the command-line, but not working inside SMPlayer 0.8.3 x64, even thought it is properly detected.
SMPlayer reports error 1, with an empty log.

If using the portable smplayer delete smplayer_orig.ini.

Thank you for the hint.
After removing my ini files, I noticed two unsupported features, that were working, or at least not aborting in the official mplayer2 builds. Maybe the reason is that they were older, and removed from the code base...
1) Unsupported video output direct3d_shaders, it makes mplayer2 default to null rendering, and nothing is shown. It is needed to change it for regular direct3d.
2) Unsupported nofontconfig switch. It is needed to remove it.

Are they any bug or limitation on your builds?

Fontconfig was removed from mplayer2. direct3d is direct3d_shaders, someone felt there was a need to have a separate option with shaders disabled.

Of course there is always the possibility that I used the wrong or missed a compiler option on a library to specify 64-bit. I did that on several libs and mplayer2 64-bit didn't even run my first attempt but I guess I sorted those out already..

[redxii]

New build available with libquvi (plays videos from various sites).

I take it that 64-bit build hasn't been crashing like crazy, otherwise I would have heard something.
