mplayer gui?

[Dany]

the following howto comes from a post on bsdforums.org. I used it and it 
worked well.

#cd /usr/ports/multimedia/mplayer
#make WITHOUT_RUNTIME_CPUDETECTION=yes WITH_GUI=yes WITH_FREETYPE=yes 
WITH_XVID=yes WITH_DVD=yes WITH_SVGALIB=yes WITH_MAD=yes WITH_AALIB=yes 
WITH_SDL=yes WITH_VORBIS=yes WITH_REALPLAYER=yes WITH_LIVEMEDIA=yes 
WITH_FAAD=yes WITH_XMMS=yes install clean

most of the options above have flags autodetect so if you have some of 
the above then you can skip it

6. DO NOT RUN MPLAYER yet
7. install fonts
#cd /usr/ports/multimedia/mplayer-fonts
#make install clean
(select 8859-1)
8. configure mplayer for user:
as a user (not root)
#cd /usr/ports/multimedia/mplayer
#make install-user
9. next copy following files to ~/.mplayer
#cp /usr/local/share/mplayer/codecs.conf ~/.mplayer/
#cp /usr/local/share/mplayer/example.conf ~/.mplayer/config
#cp /usr/local/share/mplayer/input.conf ~/.mplayer
10. fINAL STEPS FOR USER CONFIG
#cd ~/.mplayer
create directory for skins
#mkdir Skin (THIS IS THE NAME OF DIR DONT MAKE ANY OTHER)
11. download mplayer skins from http://www.mplayerhq.hu/homepage/dload.html
12. unpack skins to the directory you created ~/.mplayer/Skin
you shoud download also default skin
13. make sure that these lines in ~/.mplayer/config file are uncommented:
vo=xv
fs=yes   # maybe not required !!!

comment out the following line at the end of ~/.mplayer/config file:
#include = /home/gabucino/.mplayer/i_did_not_RTFM_carefully_enough...

Alternative way to get skins (did not work for me sometime ago, never 
tested after that): built the skins from ports
14. you are almost done
15. run
#gmplayer

extra stuff
16. Install mplayer-plugin for mozilla from /usr/ports/www/mplayer-plugin

this will allow you to play quicktime movies from mozilla
test for mozilla plugin:
http://www.apple.com/trailers/newli..._towers-teaser/
select small from watch it now panel (small loads faster) you should see 
and hear trailer.
There is no plugin for realplayer so *rm file will invoke it as separate 
instance
except downloading realplayer to ../.../distfiles you do not need to get 
or install anything before mplayer.
Test realplayer alone to see if it works (for me it does).
You will be also able to listen WMP streaming files (mozilla should open 
small extra window - empty), and watch DVD
