Help ! How to: Installing MPlayer/2 !
Greggory Shaw:
I need help proofing an article for Os2world.com - Howto: Installing MPlayer/2.
http://www.os2notes.com/os2mplayer2.html
1) Any additions needed.
2) Grammar and spelling.
3) Don't report any formatting errors, will fix last.
4) Does the Set statement for the codec dir needed anymore ?
5) Add to the Frequently_Asked_Questions sections
6) Add to the Tips sections
And FINALLY someone to add it to the Wiki for Martin, it's really a lot of work - a little help is wonderful sometimes !
Cheers
Greggory

Looking good. One thing I notice missing is any reference to fonts, how to specify which font to use. Not sure whether komh's build of MPlayer supports truetype fonts and whether it depends on mzfntcfgft. If nothing else there should be a reference to bitmapped fonts. See http://www.mplayerhq.hu/DOCS/HTML/en/fonts-osd.html

Thanks Dave ! Totally forgot about that, I'll add it in, yes to TT fonts:) I was fighting with that when playing DVDs. Trying to turn them off without success ?

Martin Iturbide:
Thanks Gregg. The article looks great.
My observations / doubts are:
1) On point "2.2 Install Codecs". Are the codecs on the same mplayer installation files, or do I have to download them somewhere else.
2) 1.5. I think it will be a good idea to upload "http://www.os2site.com/sw/mmedia/video/regionset.zip" also to hobbes, since not everyone has OS2site userID and password to download files.
3) 1.8. The testcase UNIAUD32 is no longer here: http://www.ecomstation.co.kr/komh/testcase/uniaud32_test.zip
4) Maybe you can add some screenshots, I like them ? :)
5) On 1.9 References, you can always add the URL of the original project: http://www.mplayerhq.hu/design7/news.html
I haven't use MPlayer, so I think it is great article.

Before someone does that, the legalities of it need to be checked. I know that in 2003 it was illegal to change a players/video's region. I don't know what the status is currently, and as to how it got there I have no idea, honest, I didn't even notice it.
Any human person that wants access to os2site, check the top of the readme file, top left link of os2site.com's front page.
