Updated mplayer binary: http://ufo2000.xcomufo.com/files/mpl...2-armel.tar.gz

Changes:
* compiled with libmad (fast decoding of mp3 audio)
* tweaked keybindings, now it is completely usable on Nokia 770 - fullscreen key works, sound volume can be changed, enter key works as pause/resume, so all the keys work more or less the same as in default video player

Installation:
1. Copy this file to device (for example into Documents folder)
2. Start X Terminal
3. Find this file on the device (run 'cd MyDocs/.documents' for Documents folder)
4. Unpack archive: 'tar -xzf mplayer-1.0pre8-20060712-armel.tar.gz'
5. Enter 'MPlayer-1.0pre8' directory: 'cd MPlayer-1.0pre8'
6. Try to play discovery video: './mplayer /home/user/MyDocs/.videos/Discovery.avi'
7. Have fun

Note: if you tried a previous build, also delete old configuration file: 'rm /home/user/.mplayer/config', a new build has a different default configuration file (sdl for video output, esd for audio, framedrop option enabled, enabled libmad library, configured aspect ratio).

A patch with tweaks for mplayer 1.0pre8 is here: http://ufo2000.xcomufo.com/files/mpl...-20060712.diff
Configured with the following options:
./configure --disable-mencoder --disable-alsa --enable-mad --disable-xv --disable-mp3lib --disable-x11 --target=arm-linux

That's all, I'm done now and not going to do anything else

Possible future improvement can be some kind of files selection gui that can start mplayer for playing video. And of course performance optimizations for mplayer itself.
