You missed my entire point. :) mplayer is also a competitor of GStreamer and afaik it is NOT officially supported by Nokia. MPlayer is a great application no doubt but so is VLC (afaik much more portable even) and therefore unfortunately faces the same fate. > Something with more mileage, though still not really a killer app, would be > working on optimisation of the backend libs that all three media players use > (therefore any media player would benefit).

I think GStreamer is the perfect backend that all multimedia applications should be using if they are very serious about targeting Maemo. OTOH! I understand their reasons for not going for GStreamer since this will require a huge amount of work and also throwing off a huge amount of investment both MPlayer and VLC have put into their own stacks. -- Regards, Zeeshan Ali Khattak FSF member#5124 _______________________________________________ maemo-users mailing list maemo-users@xxxxxxxxx https://lists.maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-users
