I often use the mplayer plugin for vdr and was tired of constantly having to patch the svn of mplayer. So, I asked the guys over at mplayerhq if they could incorporate the slave mode patch we use. I was hoping that working with them could help solve the problem with the mplayer plugin showing the incorrect time when playing back native vdr files. This was their response (forward of email): -- SNIP -- On Fri, Nov 05, 2004 at 12:33:10AM -0800, C.Y.M wrote: >> Nico Sabbi wrote: > >>> >C.Y.M wrote: >> >>>> >>Is this patch an acceptable addition to mplayer?

As far as I can see this is supposed to make MPlayer constantly print current position. For this there is already the get_percent_pos slave command. So, patch rejected. Greetings, Reimar D?ffinger
