MPlayer2 binaries not working on MPlayer.app #4

Hey there,

I've been using this enhanced build of MPlayer's http://sites.google.com/site/hermihg/ but the develop now seems to be "off" and when I tried to add your binaries (http://mplayerosx-builds.googlecode.com/files/mplayer-git-2011-07-24.zip) it didn't play any MKV (no video).

I was wondering if you could "fix" this since this enhanced version of MPlayer's features a lot of fixes.

Do you know if the problem was there with earlier versions of this MPlayer.app? The developer of this application doesn't have old versions published and the source code is not on version control so I can't even see what he changed in every release.

It's a bit hard for me to guess in what point of time stuff broke. I did try older versions of my binary with his release and it is not working either.

I haven't tried it yet, but I don't think we will be able to do that since Hermi (the developer) always removes the old version when the new one is out. I tried both binaries, Lion only and Snow Leopard + Lion and neither of them worked.

I'll try to contact Hermi since he will probably tell me how to fix this.

BTW, have you already tried MPlayer.app? It's goal was to fix and improve MPlayer OSX Extended Rev14 and since I haven't spoken to anybody else about what they think, I was wondering maybe if you would like to test it out and give some feedback (I "helped" Hermi providing some suggestions, most of them about User Interface, Player's Window, icons and design)

Hermi was also working on his own MPlayer 2 binaries, you might want to check them out at the latest release of MPlayer. If not included, just tell me and I'll send some "experimental" ones he gave me.

Thank you for your attention!

I use mplayer2 without a gui ^^

Oh, okay, never mind then.

The issue is/was a modified MPlayerOSXVOProto protocol used for displaying the video. My MPlayer.app changed the protocol to fix a bug (display dimensions of the video were not passed to MPlayer OSX Extended, causing video to be shown at the incorrect dimensions). The new version of my frontend now accepts both the new and old protocol so it should be compatible with other mplayer binaries now.

I have been hosting the source code for my MPlayer.app frontend here: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/5825800/MPlayer/Source/MPlayer_r14.1410t-src.zip Replace 't' with previous letters for older versions. I am probably going to apply my mplayer2 binary changes to someone's project on github so I don't have to manually manage it. As for my MPlayer.app fork, the changes are somewhat unmanageable at the moment (as the project requires both XCode 3 and 4 to compile due to out-of-date Interface Builder plugins), but eventually I'd like to make a github fork of Adrian's project on github as well.
