Updated mplayer binary:
http://ufo2000.xcomufo.com/files/mpl...4-armel.tar.gz
Changes:
* added screen blanking prevention hack
* added support for hardware pixel doubling in fullscreen mode with x11 driver ('-vo x11' option)
Now when playing 320x240 or 400x240 video, x11 driver with hardware pixel doubling is prefered and it works faster than sdl (see my previous post for more benchmarking details). The only problem with pixel doubling is lack of flexibility, it only can scale video exactly twice. So discovery video in fullscreen mode with x11 driver is a bit smaller than screen size and has black borders, but at least it can be played without a single frame dropped.
Note:
if you tried a previous build, also delete old configuration file: 'rm /home/user/.mplayer/config', a new build has a new option in configuration file enabled by default (-noslices), see mplayer man for more details. It improves performance a bit and seems to be absolutely necessery for proper framedropping with hardware pixel doubling when playing very high bitrate/framerate video. Without this option enabled, some video frames freeze and we get slideshow.
A patch with all these tweaks for mplayer 1.0pre8 sources is included in a tarball. Enjoy
