Assuming devs for Mplayer would have had the time to focus on a release with the N900 launch, of course.

I installed Mplayer and it has played almost everything I have tried. I am now up to 95% and close to the same sweet level as the Archos 5

At best, the default player (even with the codecs added) plays 70% and some with ghosting, partial green screens and dropped frames. Not seeing these issues with Mplayer. Just great results

I hope that Mplayer gets released soon and adds:

1. UI
2. On screen controls
3. Fix- fast forward needed to make some avi and MP4 files to play.
4. Read video headers (some files that are numbered have the title in the header). Example is file viewer does not, but the media player on the N900 does read them.

MINOR quibbles for a GREAT playing media player that is not even released yet

Mplayer ROCKS!
