MPlayer 0.90 released; MPlayer Maintainer Leaves

Posted by timothy on from the plays-what-you-throw-at-it dept.

Viqsi writes "459 days after the previous stable release, the MPlayer folks have finally released stable version 0.90. With this done, A'rpi (th head maintainer) is leaving the project, citing too-much-free-time-forever-lost issues, and the team is looking closely at revising the way the project is managed as a result. Here's hoping some improvements come out of this."

    Why would anyone want a GUI in a movie player? Movie theaters and TVs don't have GUIs, they just show it all in fullscreen, just they way I want it. A GUI would only be a distraction and a waste of screen real estate.

    Personally, I'd rephrase it like this:

    it's ok to cuddle up to naked chicks, as long as the software from the EvilOne(tm) looks ok on the screen, ideals be damned

    But thats just me..
