MPlayer for MorphOS Update

[jahc]

I know of a programmer who says he intends to port MPlayer to OS 4.0 as soon as OS 4.0 is ready. I just hope the author of the MorphOS port doesnt mind sending him the source code.

Source is there, both for MOS and Linux, easily downloaded, and falls under the GPL. As far as I remember the GPL, anyone can use it as long as they upload their own version to the source tree.

Excellent.

The MPlayer source apparently includes a lot of MOS-specific system calls. Porting it to OS4 won't be too easy, and a fully working GCC will be necessary.

Hmm, that doesnt sound too good. But MOS is more Amiga-like than Linux, so it should be easier to port.

Edit: and from what I hear, OS4 will include an ffmpeg.library anyway which will handle movie decoding for its own player.

Is this top secret leaked dev-info? I like it.
