The following is an edited installation howto of how I got up and running via an earlier install post from Serge http://www.internettablettalk.com/fo...12&postcount=9

Installation:

1. Copy the MPlayer-1.0pre8-20060721-armel.tar.gz file to device (Into Documents folder)
2. Start xterm
3. Goto the tar file folder on the device in xterm: cd /home/user/MyDocs/.documents (for Documents folder)
4. Unpack the archive: tar -xzf mplayer-1.0pre8-20060712-armel.tar.gz
5. You should now see mplayer listed in documents folder: ls mplayer
6. Try to play OS 2006 discovery video: ./mplayer /home/user/MyDocs/.videos/Discovery.avi

I have not figured out how to install this patch? MPlayer-1.0pre8-20060721-maemo-patches.diff

Advise from other mplayer user/testers could be helpful

Ideally the install information should be also included in the existing documentation in the mplayer wiki https://garage.maemo.org/plugins/wik...p?id=54&type=g

Note: that to use latest version of StreamTuner; mplayer is expected to be in .documents folder
