The other changes to the port are to maintain compatibility and fix whatever problems users may have. To pre-empt the inevitable question: Yes, there will be a new version before the end of October. Do you miss a specific feature in the current port or why do you press for an update?

Do you miss a specific feature in the current port or why do you press for an update? The answer to your question is just this: On very rare occasions, I come upon a video that does not seem to play correctly (using mplayer). When this happens, it may be the fault of the video itself, or perhaps of mplayer. If I knew that my mplayer had been updated recently, then I would tend more to suspect the video file of being corrupted. And also, of course, even when videos play correctly I do often wonder whether or not I am getting the full benefits of my hardware. ___ freebsd-ports@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-ports To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-ports-unsubscr...@freebsd.org

FreeBSD mplayer port update?
Could someone (anyone) explain to me why the FreeBSD port of mplayer has not been updated at all since March 8th of this year? That seems like an awfully long time to go without any update. ___ freebsd-ports@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-ports To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-ports-unsubscr...@freebsd.org
