Did you build a new gtk1 Mplayer on 2.0 with the latest svn? Or is that the Mplayer that is in the repo now? The one in the repo does not work well at all on 2.x.
(respectfully) i don't know why you keep asking me things like this. the only thing i've ever been able to compile is zile, and only with instructions specific to zile, if i could compile my own stuff (i've tried, with help here, more than once) this wouldn't be an issue.
THE ONLY THINGS I USE and report here are extensions, from the repo. (TCE bugs. not compile problems.) IF i'm talking about something outside the repo (even outside 2.x repo in 2.x, or outside 1.x repo in 1.x,) i promise to mention it, it would be relevant.
edit: oh i see... YOU'RE talking about things that work if YOU build them, even though they're not available to us. if you haven't been specific about where you got the things that you report as working, you're going to mislead the rest of us (me) into thinking it's something i can just install with appbrowser
and then it won't work, but i'll think it's something i'm doing. do let me know if your working version ever makes it into the repo.
i could have told you the gtk version in the repo isn't great- i usually use nodeps. i prefer extensions i can show off to people. "hey, look at this cool media player, it plays a video and then closes with some annoying error message!" "
hey that's cool man, i'm just going to use windows." "no, but... linux is so great, mplayer just sucks. vlc player is good!" "
then why are you using mplayer?" "i don't know!" also i can't figure out why the nodeps version (it is new, but i didn't build it) won't play the theora video.
