well i installed it and couldn't find any change with older versions
mp4 converted files by Internet Tablet Video Converter are still slow
Or at least a log of mplayer running with -benchmark option for the previous and the latest release.
mplayer 25 is still better than others on my os2008
video playback is cool faster for 27

I just installed the .27 version, but subfont-encoding still doesn't work properly. So, that's a regression.
Anyway, I'm generally using 'subcp' option and not 'subfont-encoding' ('subfont-encoding' has not a very encouraging description in mplayer man page).
The most unfortunate thing about your old report was that you reported the problem only after version .26 had been already released to extras repository. So it was too late for that iteration. And reporting bugs to garage bugtracker is always preferable (especially for the bugs that are obvious and clearly reproducible). The lifecycle of mplayer threads on ITT starts from the initial package upload to 'extras-devel', some sequential quick bugfix releases in 'extras-devel' if needed, and finally upload of the package (here we suppose that it has successfully passed public testing) to 'extras'. After that, the thread is effectively dead and quickly gets buried by tons of other threads and information in the forum. On the other hand, garage trackers help to track bugreports and not forget about even the minor issues that are not critical enough to hold release because of them.
One more thing: does mplayer use software mixer or hardware?
I am wondering, because i want to use −softvol option in order to boost low volume files, but i don't know if the performance will be worse due to the dependence on software amplification rather than hardware.
PS. Please don't refer to me as Mr in this forum, it sounds too much business-alike, which is not the kind of communication I would like to have here.

Playing audio files from the command line is now fine. But I still have the following problem with gmplauncher (I don't know if it is a known bug): once I start to play an ogg file (on the internal memory card), gmplauncher doesn't react until the end of the ogg file. When gmplauncher is run from a shell, I get the following message only:
gmplauncher[10199]: GLIB DEBUG ConIc - con_ic_connection_send_event(0x8b938, Vinc17, WLAN_INFRA, 0)

Serge, I've been doing some experimentation and i've noticed that when i launch an xvid with :
mplayer filename.avi it will play i little slower than when i play through gmplauncher.
when i launch it with :
mplayer filename.avi > /dev/null (i think thats right command) it plays comparably to when launching with mplayer
If statistics make a noticable difference, is there an official command line option to disable them from being sent in the first place? Or would that require modifying each codec?

Are you absolutely sure that .27 has problems with subtitles?
Moreover, it is a fact, as i stated above, that it used to work well back at .24 and .25 mplayer version.

I didn't know about this option cause i always used subfont. It's a strange thing, but it works fine. Now, with this option on, subtitles are properly displayed.

For SDL sound output it uses SDL internal mixer, so from the performance point of view this is a software mixer. Sound support is not in a very good shape now.

I did flash my kernel a while ago, but I don't know whether or not it's a version that supports tearsync. ? :-)
When playing flv videos from the included GUI, they play fine. They're not stretched to fit the screen (which I'm more than OK with. :-).
I did notice I played part of a video, and stopped it, and the GUI is telling me I can resume from 00:00:43. I'm not sure it resumed from that spot (It looks like it is resuming from about 3 seconds in), but it didn't start at the very beginning when I started it.
I initially upgraded it to see whether or not I could view the oldcartoon.tv channel that they were talking about in one of the threads here. (It's a thread about watching lots of channels) Initially, I tried with mplayer .26 and I can watch the cartoons, or I can listen to the cartoons, but I can't do both.
Version .27 performs the same, but I figure that it's because the site doesn't have the right resolution for the tablet.
Trying Canola 2 (not updated to the newest Canola yet) now...
Wierd Al, Trapped in the Drive-thru seems to be playing fine, in a window and in Full screen.
Anything specific you want me to test?
Thanx,
desiv
p.s. I just went from full screen to windowed in Canola2 and there's a bunch of artifacting in the top left, where the small version of the image was. Seems like Canola didn't clear the screen, but the video is still playing fine..
(I'd wait till the end, but it's a LONG video. :-)
p.p.s. 770, OS2006.
