Hmm.. Mplayer is alot faster at loading the video file for me than the standred Player. I have a flv file that the standerd player shows the 4 dots for like over a minute before playing. Mplayer just starts it right up.
I guess i can remove the devel version once an optifed version comes out.
When will the mplayer (finalized version) be available for the general public on N900? I am looking for a video player that can play movies along with separate subtitle file (.srt) and also be able to play .flv Flash videos.
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!
I have installed SIB player and Mplayer Movie Player. But i am not able to get SIB player started. It opens with a blank screen and closes after few secs.
Is there something else that needs to be done to make SIB player work?
