MPlayer version dev-SVN-r27724-OS2-4.3.2 has been released.  This OS/2 port 
is done by KO Myung-Hun.  MPlayer is probably the most widely used open 
source movie player available.  It runs on many Operating Systems, 
including OS/2 thanks to KO Myung-Hun.  It can take advantage of OS/2 video 
support from SNAP, WarpOverlay!, or DIVE.

Take a moment to look over the included README file for installation, usage 
and options information.  MPlayer, including source code is currently 
located on Hobbes in the incoming directory:

http://hobbes.nmsu.edu/download/pub/incoming/mplayer-dev-SVN-r27724-OS2-4.3.2.zip

And source code is available here:

http://hobbes.nmsu.edu/download/pub/incoming/mplayer-dev-SVN-r27724-OS2-4.3.2-src.zip

One of the best (for OS/2) features of MPlayer is it's ability to use Win32 
binary codecs, which obviously expands it's versatility greatly. All that 
is required for use of this feature is the Win32 binary codec package 
available here:

http://www.mplayerhq.hu/design7/dload.html

To install MPlayer and the codecs package, please see the README 
documentation in the archive.


MPlayer requires LIBC v0.6.3.  In the unlikely event that you do not 
already have it, you can download it here:

ftp://ftp.netlabs.org/pub/libc/libc-0_6_3-csd3.wpi


SMPlayer, a front end for MPlayer has been made available for OS/2 by 
Silvan Scherrer:
