Here's some more tips for viewing those videos with MPlayer.

To get rid of the screen blanking you can add higher timeout values to the phone's display settings menu.

To list current settings:

Code:

$ gconftool-2 -a /system/osso/dsm/display

To add 10800sec (3 hours) timeout:

Code:

$ gconftool-2 --type-list --list-type int --set /system/osso/dsm/display/possible_display_dim_timeouts [15,30,60,120,300,10800]

Some useful ~/.mplayer/config options (to autoload subs and improve performance a bit.)

Code:

sub-fuzziness=1        # don't be too picky about filenames
slang=fi,fin,en,eng    # autoload sub priority
double=1               # double buffering
framedrop=1            # enable framedrop
fs=1                   # enable full screen
utf8=1                 # enable UTF-8 encoded subs

For more go to mplayer manpage

To enable pausing video by tapping the screen

Create a file named ~/.mplayer/input.conf with the following content:

Code:

MOUSE_BTN0 pause

If someone has ideas how to seek back/forth without switching back to meego-terminal and using arrow keys I'm all ears.

Piping yle-dl output straight to mplayer goes like this:

Code:

$ yle-dl http://areena.yle.fi/tv/1577834 -o - | mplayer -cache 4096 -

Try it, very handy when you want to begin watching immediately or when watching live broadcast.
