Yes I've been thinking of forking new instances of the mplayer videoprovider, perhaps I'll test it tomorrow, but I have no clue how if it will work... it's definitly not the best solution. However what I meant in my "BTW" is that you could run mplayer from the commandline using a directfb video output "plugin" instead of the ordinary X11/Xv/mga/etc video output plugins. That way you could run several mplayers from the commandline and the video output would share the DirectFB display using DirectFB multi application core. Problem right now is that DirectFB multiapp core is very much not finished.
You can test the directfb videout plugin I've created using mplayer -vo directfb from the mplayer source I've provided. Thanks for your interest! Hallvar Helleseth -- Info: To unsubscribe send a mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe directfb-dev" as subject.
