for mplay >0.72 you'll need MPlayer 1.0pre6 from --> http://www1.mplayerhq.hu/MPlayer/releases/MPlayer-1.0pre6a.tar.bz2
Read the ChangeLog section 'new in 0.72' for more information.
Install
- just run ./install
(
with 'force_install_modules' the perl modules wich are in src/
will be installed automatically without checking if you have this
perl-modules already installed. That could make sense if you have
problems or want to update your modules.
)
you have to install mplay to have an interactive help.
