OVPlayer 1.1 pre-release candidate 1
OVPlayer is Copyright 2001 by Jeff Sheets, and is licensed under the GNU General Public License, Version 2. See the file COPYING for details on the GPL license.
Installing ovplayer should be simple...
You will need at least GTK+ 1.1.2, SDL 1.1.8, libOgg 1.0beta4, and libVorbis 1.0beta4. If these are all properly installed, then the following commands should configure, compile and install ovplayer on your computer:
./configure
make
And as root:
make install
./configure will complain if it can't find any of the required libs.
Planned Features for OVPlayer are in order of importance:
Rewrite of Codec support, in order to allow for more than one type
of codec.
Rewrite of Audio output system, in order to allow forClean handling
of multiple channels
Better Comment display system
Any Feature Requests can be posted on OVPlayer's SourceForge Site, or emailed directly to me at <wickedbob@inferno.com>.
As to how fast OVPlayer is, I haven't a clue except that it peaks at 3.3% CPU Usage on my 1.1 AMD Athlon. Comments from Lower MHz CPU owners would be appreciated.
Thanks to the Ogg Vorbis group and Xiphophorous for an excellent audio codec.
