41 <application>MPlayer</application> is a powerful audio/video player
42 controlled via the command line or a graphical interface that is able to
43 play almost every popular audio and video file format. With supported
44 video hardware and additional drivers, <application>MPlayer</application>
45 can play video files without an <application>X Window System</application>

85 <para><application>MPlayer</application> developers recommend using current
86 snapshots. The source tarball shown above was created by the BLFS team by
87 downloading an <application>MPlayer</application> snapshot and an
88 <application>ffmpeg</application> snapshot. To form the final tarball, the
89 <application>MPlayer</application> tarball is uncompressed and the
90 directory renamed. Then, the <application>ffmpeg</application> snapshot is
91 uncompressed into this directory, which is in turn compressed into the
92 tar.xz final format. BLFS made no other changes to the existing source
93 files. The <application>ffmpeg</application> snapshot is required, or a git
94 checkout will be requested at configure time. This is not desired, because
95 both should be obtained at the same date.</para>
