A new version of mplayer is available at garage downloads page: https://garage.maemo.org/frs/?group_...release_id=776

It is an incremental update which improves performance a bit and also fixes a bug with inconsistent display state on exit which could be observed with mplayer_1.0rc1-maemo.17 in some circumstances. Check release notes at garage downloads page for more details about the changes which have been introduced in different mplayer releases.

This release is mostly interesting for the projects which use mplayer as a backend as it adds support for making PNG and JPG screenshots and enables ALSA sound output in N800 build (for use with A2DP). An important thing to take care when upgrading from mplayer_1.0rc1-maemo.16 is that framebuffer based video output is now set as default for N800 ('-vo nokia770'). If Xv video output is desired, it should be explicitly specified with '-vo xv' option when running mplayer.

This release will get uploaded to garage extras repository very soon unless regressions compared to mplayer_1.0rc1-maemo.16 are reported.
