SMPlayer 0.6.10 released

[rvm4000]

Version 0.6.10.

Most important changes since 0.6.9:

• New vdpau configuration dialog, which allow to select the vdpau codecs to use.
  
• Port for eCS, OS/2 (by Silvan Scherrer).
  
• New menu to select the closed caption channel (requires mplayer >= r32607).
  
• Possibility to select the seeking method (absolute or relative).
  
• Possibility to sort the items of the playlist.

This version doesn't have many new features, but I prefer to release it now as new features planned for the future will (probably) require a more recent version of Qt.

To install it:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:rvm/smplayer
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install smplayer

Packages for older versions of ubuntu are also available:

Excellent news RVM, I am rushing to download this new version

Cool, this is my preferred media player, it's very good. I used to use VLC but mplayer has much better VDPAU support, so I use this now, no complaints with it. I even occasionally use it in Windows (though I rarely need Windows). Latest version is already in the Arch repos too

SMPlayer 0.7.0 released

• New favorite menu, where you can add your favorite videos, music, streams, youtube videos... It's also possible to add submenus.
• Support for youtube. Now you can open urls like http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=..... using the Open -> URL dialog or dragging a link from a browser to the smplayer window.
• Support for mplayer2 (http://www.mplayer2.org). It's a fork of mplayer with interesting features like precise seeking, ordered chapters in mkv videos and better pause handling (e.g. seek works while the video is paused).
• New translation: croatian.
