Here's the basic plot that I picked up from the MPlayer mailing list: Nick Kurshev developed a patch to make MPlayer multithreaded. He claimed that it could increase MPlayer performance by up to 300% by making use of idle CPU cycles (by being multithreaded). Arpi, the MPlayer maintainer, refused to accept the patch. His reasoning was that multithreadedness was unnecessary for a movie player, and only added extra overhead. Here is what Arpi had to say about MPlayerXP on the mplayer web site (http://www.mplayerhq.hu/): "He forked because we didn't accept his patch: it brings unneeded threads into MPlayer - threadlessness is the main feature of MPlayer, compared to other Linux players like Xine and avifile. Nick writes his method gains 300% speed.. This is not true. His method gains not speed but smoothness - if you have a movie that runs slow with MPlayer, MPlayerXP will not help you. It helps only in some rare files on about ~400Mhz Intel speed category systems, but it won't be faster decode (total decoding time will be the same). "But you are free to try it! If you (don't) find that new core better than the normal one, mail Nick a full report. We don't support MPlayerXP." -- Sridhar Dhanapalan "I was never a "big thinker". One of my philosophies in Linux has always been to not worry about the future too much, but make sure that we make the best of what we have now - together with keeping our options open for the future and not digging us into a hole." -- Linus Torvalds Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

I had just gotten the main branch working when they did this forking thing. So... I have to disable gcc check because it didn't want to compile with version that's default on mandrake. The authors think it's goofed up, so they stick in that failure and don't support mplayer if you disable gcc checking. -s Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?
