Mplayerosx

This is quite a necropost, but I thought I would acknowledge that this thread led to a bugfix in my code that allows playlist filetypes to be added to MPlayer's playlist.

As you can see from the screenshot, this is possible by creating playlist files (.asx, .m3u, etc.) and adding them to MPlayer's playlist.

You can create your own asx file for a stream. Here is the asx file I used as an example:

<ASX Version="3.0"><ENTRY>
<REF HREF="mms://wm.microsoft.com/ms/msnse/0801/31781/Key_CES_010608_31781_6mbA_MBR.wmv" />
</ENTRY></ASX>

Unfortunately, MPlayer OS X Extended doesn't recognize playlist files yet - I had to compile my own build of MPlayer to gain this feature. You can try it out if you like.

Note that playlist support and streaming content in general is still VERY buggy in mplayer (mplayer =/= MPlayer OS X Extended). I am working on it though.

well, to necro-reply to a necro-post... ;)

nice that one bugreport leads to the fixing of another.
you refer to the page of Issue #379, 'i think' because of a download-link that could be found there in the past, pointing to a binary test-version (?) - however, i wasn't able to find that link. also the changelog that's mentioned there doesn't seem to contain anything like that.

having posted Issue #380 sometime after this issue (jan. 2011), i was curious if that is solved as well in the current source tree. is it? because if not, it wouldn't work in my case, as the r14 releases won't play the streams mentioned above.

i'd be happy to test if that would help somehow.
also, i haven't checked-out the source from github (is that the current/active repo?) yet, but if building it myself is not too involved, i'll see if i can manage to do so in the next couple of days..

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/5825800/MPlayer/MPlayerApp/MPlayer_r14.1410r.app.zip is a direct link, but you should have been able to get there from the above link.

As for the github version of MPE, I was going to check that out too, but figured I'd let some Lion bug fixes come into place first (the new Xcode for one, and I was hoping the VLC team would figure out passthrough digital audio so we could use the fix for MPlayer).
