Serge, I just installed the latest version of Mplayer and the replacement xserver and I'm truly amazed. For the first time I can enjoy smooth video playback on my N800 at a resolution that really does its great display justice (400x240 at 25 fps). I've been watching a couple of minutes of "28 Days Later", which was extremely choppy and teary before and is now absolutely smooth an thoroughly enjoyable (in a slasher-psychopathic sense, obviously).

Also, I found this latest version of Mplayer so stable that you should really consider dropping the "RC" and go v1 full-on.

There is still one thing missing on the N800 that I use extensively on my Archos: a resume play-function. My Archos remembers where I stopped watching the last movie and can resume it from there.

I've always said that this is an indispensable function for a portable media player and I'm wondering whether this sort of functionality can be incorporated in Mplayer.
