The url you've posted does not point to a multithreaded capable version of mplayer
Anyway, this is a wontfix request, in ubuntu we require mplayer to use a system ffmpeg, and newer mplayer snapshots won't work with the system ffmpeg. Updating ffmpeg is out of question for lucid, I'll do so for lucid+1. what we could do is to package a mplayer-snapshot package for the motumedia PPA. this is indeed on my todo list. ** Changed in: mplayer (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided => High ** Changed in: mplayer (Ubuntu) Status: New => Won't Fix -- Package Update Request: mplayer https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/539315 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
