Although it's now freeware, will you be handling distribution of Warpview too?

I hope the new version can handle mp4 video files and 1080p

Is it theoretically possible to compile and distribute MorphOS and AROS binaries or does it make heavy use of OS4 specific API's?
-
@nicholas
It used to at least run with OS4emu on MorphOS.
-
A bit offtopic, but regarding Amishop;
Does it require OS4.x or will there be a classic App version?
Looking at the Ami-Store site it does link AOS4 http://www.amistore.net/
Im assuming it will be OS4 only, but figured Id ask anyhow.

Hi,
Yes there will be a Classic AmigaOS version too, although it will require a graphics card and good spec accelerator.

What would be the advantage over Mplayer?

I look forward to trying out all four versions. :)

More software is always good. :)
