And it s not available in extras. You shouldn't install extras-devel and extras-testing repository if you don't know how to launch an application from xterm.
Ya, this is a disclaimer, but as the current maemo player can't read not encrusted subtitle, i can understand that you require mplayer.
If you know how to use a terminal, launch it ... go to your movie folder (by using cd). And type 'mplayer mybeautifulmovie.avi'

That's it
Mind showing me an example of how to use cd?
It would also be nice if somene can link me to a guide for using x terminal.
I created a very simple front end "SiB" for MPlayer on N900 which works quite similar to GMPlauncher which came with the pre-N900 MPlayer. It scans folders for video files and stores individual resume positions.
Even if MPlayer is not optimised for the N900 yet I still prefer it over the Media Player as it supports subtitles and can be controlled via keyboard.
If you like to try you can find it on extras-devel, but please don't go there if you don't know what your doing and don't want to break your shiny new gadget!
