Hi, thanks to Wes Morgan and Martin Wilke there is something for you to test which approximates what's going to become our next mplayer in the ports tree. Due to the vast number of changes between the last official release of mplayer and the current svn version and the significant changes we did to the port, I am almost certain you will stumble upon regressions. Furthermore, because of the large number of possible OPTIONS and combinations thereof, it might or might not even build for you. Over the next weeks I aim to stabilise the build process on different configurations and reduce the regressions that users might encounter when we finally commit this to the ports tree. I trust that you report problems that you run into on the mailing list and - if possible - please please send patches to me that solve a particular regression for you. To the topic: On http://www.rrr.de/~riggs/mplayer/m20100107.tar.bz2 you can get a small tarball. It contains three items: The ports for mplayer and mencoder. Both are drop-in replacements for the respective directories in ${PORTSDIR}/multimedia This should work without further changes (at least it does on my amd64 test machine). NOTE that ONLY if you want to test it with x264 (only available for mencoder, mplayer uses ffmpeg's internal h264 decoder now.), you HAVE to apply the supplied x264 patch to ${PORTSDIR}/multimedia/x264. Thank you in advance and good luck Riggs
