How do I get > mplayer package for 5.5 Hello, Try the ports collection and see if it can build that way. mplayer imho is the very best choice here and yeah, you may have to experiment with options like --hardframedrop and the like: RTFM. :) More information on the ports collection here: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en/books/handbook/ports-using.html Ports is a system to download and compile software on your system, so it tends to be more useful for older versions of FreeBSD for which package support has been dropped. If ports can get you running then yeah upgrading the machine would be a good call.
