MPlayer 1.0Pre1 Is Here
bfree writes "Now on your favourite mplayer mirror you can find the 1.0Pre1 release of Mplayer! While work is underway on a second-generation version of Mplayer, I have already fired off emails to my Windows-based friends to let them now that the one player to rule them all now has (preview) support for their OS (I've only looked at a precompiled command line version on Windows but it handled everything I threw at it so far except DVDs). Big changes include Windows (via mingw32 and cygwin) ports, as well as Mac OS X (with extra-accurate Darwin timers). Now if only all those legal questions would go away, perhaps we could have a new killer Free Software application to save people installing Real, Quicktime and Windows Media Player (on Linux!?) or perhaps it's the one application to finally tell the **AA where the world wants to go today!"
Duh, you don't use gmplayer in KDE, you use mplayer or kplayer instead.
Help us build a better map!
Let us not hope Sauron - err, Bill Gates - gets to it!
This amazes me. I hadn't tried either of these for a year or more. Last week my girlfriend and I were surfing porn, and because she's so ignorant about these thing, she wanted to download some movies. They were WMPs, and I told her we probably couldn't play them, but that I'd try anyway. I tried mplayer first, because slashdot is always raving about it, and it handled the WMPs, so we went surfing for everything we could find -- I must've had six or more formats downloaded by the time we finished. I was amazed by mplayer, and Goy took me upstairs to practice what we had seen. Surfing porn makes her so horny
Anyway, two days later, I decided to let Goy look at the files again. I was in the lab, and it has only xterms with no xv extension, so I tried all the movies with xine. It's a little painful with a 10Mb/s network card, but they all worked, just as mplayer did. Goy pulled my pants down and started on me right there.
God Bless Mplayer and Xine!

I know exactly what you mean. Sascha (my goat) and I were surfing pr0n last month and we found a link to a clip in .FLI format (remember that one? gawd damn). Anyway there was nothing on Windoze that could read it so I gave mplayer a shot, and damn! but if it didn't play it off perfectly. Sascha was pretty lubricated at this point and she started tugging at her leash, that usually means she wants to head out to the barn for some action. So we did. mplayer rules this fucking world.
OMG - Mplayer just gets better and better, It already rocked - Now the mplayer team is doing somethin more. I hereby banish WMP to HELL
As for Girlfriend - can you tell me where I can download one - preferbaly a RPM?
Idno about the RPM,
but you could try searching google for ".DEB does dallas"
In all fairness, calling it MPlayer probably wasn't the greatest idea. They might as well have called it "Real Quick MPlayer", just to annoy everyone else.
Why does everybody use the phrase 'it plays everything I have thrown at it' in the MPlayer context? It's not like there are no other ways of saying this...
HELLO!!! I thought this was slashdot!
You had to think about it for a second? Just what kind of raving KDE/OSX/Windoze/IceWM/Enlightenment/GNUStep fanatic are you?
You just confused kplayer with klayer.
And Gnome uses Gplayer.
On the Mac however McPlayer rules,
but on Windows there is MsPlayer 2000.
If you have IceWM installed you must use
IcePlayer, but not iplayer which works only with
iPods.
Suse supports only the splayer and the MensaPlayer (for people with IQ > 120).
RedHat has additionally redplayer, which is also used by RedFlag Linux but called MaoPlayer there.
Debian has player.deb which is only textmode, with stop and play buttons reversed and was created in the year 1911.
FreeBSD and NetBSD have no player but ports for all other players. However, these ports will try to download 50 Gbyte from non-existing URLs and then crash with some compiler errors.
OpenBSD has an own secure player called OpenPlayer which is so secure that it will refuse to load any songs, won't accept any users commands and the binary will not be excutable.
Solaris has no player, but they accounced that they will port Gplayer soon.
And finally UnixWare has no player, too, but SCO claims that everybody is using their player because they where all based on cat hello.wav >/dev/snd.
Now the million dollar question: Why isn't this the default?
