this is why i thought mplayer was lousy, but the nodeps version is great, i use tc's mplayer tce in two distros. i've found that vlc is very nice in other distros, but i uninstalled it a long time ago and replaced it with mp3blaster (then moc, then mplayer nodeps.) any player that can play theora without doing unstable things would be nice, whether it takes a month or several months.

i just don't want to see the one good mplayer (nodeps) suddenly become larger, or refuse to open without some extra lib. with almost no content that uses it, it's better that theora continue to be optional.

but i'm thrilled that mplayer plays both mp3 and ogg vorbis (and flv!) without deps. (otherwise i might as well use mpg123.)

curaga:
Yeah, building mplayer with libtheora would place the dependency on it. However the latest ffmpeg seems to claim to support playing Theora natively; it that's so, then just a rebuild of the latest mplayer would work. Not sure though.

if that's what they've got planned it might be worth the wait.
