MPlayer - "Dirty Preview #4"
From the not yet finished port of video player MPlayer for AmigaOS4
there is another preview version released.
The most important changes:
- Altivec problem with G3 processors solved (feedback welcome)
- GetBusKey bug removed
- Usage of the asyncio.library removed - thanks to Olaf Barthel's clib2 the original MPlayer sourcecode works well
- Use of the MPlayer version 1.0pre7 (and CVS changes ) which results in more features and codec
- WPA video driver removed because it was useless
- Exchange of the video driver vo_overlay and vo_cgx, MPlayer can be used with it's filename onlyn

Team AROS: Bounty #33 placed for back porting of the MorphOS shell commands
Neil Cafferkey initiated the bounty project #33 of Team AROS. The reward was placed for the back porting of the shell commands taken over by MorphOS.
The only pre-condition is the bugfixing of commands normally already existing in the C directory of AROS - there's no need of an enhancement of the functionality.
Malfunctions due to errors in other software layers do not affect the bount, either.
In exchange to this he withdrew bounty #26. This project had the goal to make the VESA graphics mode selectable without adaptated GRUB boot loader.
