I believe it would be a good idea to move to one of these sources (I would prefer tar downloads myself) and use a newer more robust (probably) version of mplayer2. > I didn't think to look anywhere other than their git tree which seems to be abandoned (the version we are using is the latest out there) > I will be working on a new recipe to cater this if there are no objections but I would really like to have some feedback before I do so. I've been trying to fix up what we have now that OE-core has abandoned libav, replacing it with a newer ffmpeg. Maybe I'll give this a go myself if you'd like to wait a short while (perhaps by tomorrow)? -- ------------------------------------------------------------ Gary Thomas | Consulting for the MLB Associates | Embedded world ------------------------------------------------------------
