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:

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.
