Mplayerosx

I experience the same issue as well. I love the fact
that the new mplayer built handles mkv files well.
If you can get this corrected, it would be awesome

I found that this worked correctly until rev 8. After that, it would no longer go onto the next media in the playlist.

In the latest release (12?), I can no longer add files to my playlist at all.. iMac G5 OSX 10.5

Thanks George - at least now I know it works up to rev8. I am using the front-end from rev8 with the latest mplayer binary. Not a perfect solution, but it works for me. There is another player called Chroma. Sadly, it's commercial.

it is working with rev8 for me too. but of course i lost 64 bits compatibility...

i'm sure the difference is a small thing to fix in the code though, but the xcode project is way too complex for me...

Just confirming that the playlist doesn't work at all (cannot even add files to it) with rev13-test2

another issue related to the playlist :

if there are files in my playlist that i'm currently playing and i load another file from the finder (that is not from the playlist), mplayer always crashes.

Please check with rev13-test3 if these problems still persist. The playlist backend has been refactored and should work correctly again.

sweet, thank you :) my two problems (playlist not going to the next item, crash if a new file is opened while the playlist is playing) seem to be fixed.

one tiny detail remains : if i'm playing a file in a playlist and i decide to change the cache size and hit "restart playback", the file isn't considered as part of the playlist anymore. mplayer stops after the end of that particular clip.

The restart issue should now be fixed as well.

another issue:
Playlist doesn't work with Japanese file name (rev13-test7).

I confirm that special characters (I guess characters which are coded on more than one byte) are causing troubles with playlist.
When adding the file the name is displayed correctly, but if I start the movie or select another item, the filename in the playlist is replaced with a part of the path depending on where is located the special character.

Examples :
"/path/foo_é_bar/barfoo.avi" becomes "foo_e"
"/path/foobar/bar_é_foo.avi" becomes "bar_e"
"/path/foo_é_bar/bar_é_foo.avi" becomes "foo_e"
From what I remember in UTF-8 "é" is coded as "e" + "following accent" + "quote" (3 bytes)

One more thing, if the file is not a video file (I guess if no informations can be extracted from the file) the name stays displayed corretly.

Behavior appeared in rev13-test3 (in test2 version I am unable to add file to playlist)

Hope this can help.

Seems to be fixed in SVN (suprised myself there).

MPE stupidly reset the filename back from the MPlayer output and that seems to have caused the issue (and one with dvd playback as well).
