The old mplayer does not do svgalib. The new one does.

I forgot to update the documentation, so the manpages are
for the previous version and do not cover the new features
and modified syntax of the new version. I will upload a fresh
copy with the correct manpages next time. Somehow, I did
remember to update the vidix drivers.

Did you get around to this yet?

No, I'm currently trying to decide how I should distribute the
patches for MPlayer. Right now, I have a few patches, and a
utility to apply them. These allow you to install mencoder,
dynamic mplayer binaries, &c. without having to download tens
of MB of packages. The question is: should I just distribute
what I have (with instructions for unpacking)? or should I make
a friendly shell script to make things easier? I don't really think
that I am competent enough with shell scripting to make a
good script.. Do you have any suggestions?

I can deal with a .tar.gz file with a readme in it.


Anyway, I'll try to upload the fixed manpages first and then
worry about the patch package.

I am having some language problems with a DVD.
Barbara Streisand is saying 'o mon dieu'.

The DVD must think that your mplayer is French. I have no
idea why it would think that. It was compiled on an English
(well, American) PC and I didn't enable any international
options.. Odd.

mplayer -sub -slang sp does not produce Spanish subtitles - should it?

No, I think you need '-slang es' for Espa

I could not even get -slang en to show English subtitles while she spoke French so I could learn French.

Perhaps mplayer has its own defaults set somewhere by the authors?
