    Ah, that explains why. Thanks for clarifying.

    Check the version of that package. Then check the revision upstream mplayer is at. That's why I said "update the code for svn". Well, mplayer-vaapi isn't that old, but still, someone needs to port the vaapi bits to latest svn and post to the mplayer-dev-eng mailing list. Bonus points if you also port it to mplayer2.

    You're confusing a few things here. The announcement talks about the ffmpeg aac decoder, which is a totally different from faac, an independent encoder with a non-free license.

    Isn't FAAC license proprietary?

    Yes, this insane forking mess should be correctly explained. Differences, activity stadistics, tests and more.

    This website is for sale! mplayer2.org is your first and best source for information about mplayer2. Here you will also find topics relating to issues of general interest. We hope you find what you are looking for!


    If you want VA-API to ever happen on mplayer or mplayer2, step up.
