Cool
Cool, this video player is not bad at all! I like it more than the VLC player cause it's not as buggy.
Thank you! Oh and if you have some sort of a "To Do" list for creating portable apps, then could you please post it somewhere on your website. It would be nice to know what other programs to expect, what programs not to resuggest, and ones to suggest.
Thanks again.

Hmmm. I'll try it, good
Hmmm. I'll try it, good competition for VLC.
Cool.
Very happy to see this one release.

Where do you shop, the Toilet Store?
P.S. The alternate text for the MPlayer logo displays "Notepad++ logo"

Works great
Leaves nothing.
Will replace VLC in my top list cause its faster and I never had problems with it.

This is a news story
and NOT the appropriate place for support. Forums are for support. And questions should pertain to the portable version, as always. If you have a general question (what formats does it support, why does it have issues playing X?), that would be for the MPlayer or MPUI folks. Pretty much everyone asking questions should already know better. All support requests here will be deleted.
Link to Support
John,
I kind of thought this was going to happen the first day I saw the release.
I figured you just had not had time yet to set up a support forum.
If MPlayerP will not have it's own forum here at PA.com perhaps a link at the top of the page to the "Other Apps" support forum:
"Support
...help getting MPlayer Portable up and running or reporting bugs or problems, visit Other Applications Support:[link]... "
It might also be a good idea to do this with:
winMd5Sum Portable
On-Screen Keyboard
Notepad++ Portable
PokerTH Portable
Virtual Magnifying Glass Portable
Feel free to delete this post when you delete the others.

I downloaded it some days ago, yesterday I had my first opportunity to try it... I tried to use a VCD and it failed (it runs, it sounds... no video)... so I keep my PortableVLC

Better than VLC
Mplayer Portable is good, and alot faster than that Windows Media Player, but then so is everything else. More stable and easier to use than VLC. The only problem I got is that only some of my music videos will play and some won't.
then
Then is not better...
I stay with VLC... yesterday I was watching a very damaged DVD and the only way to see it (using a lot of players including sony's DVD player - it's a Sony VAIO) without problems was with VLC portable... and in the last 20 minutes of movie... VLC but ON Kubuntu, not in Windows... :s

Problem: Strange Playback with .FLV files
I dunno if anyone experienced this, but when I play back my Flash Movies (.flv) files, the video does not sync with the audio, and the whole playback gets cut halfway.
Otherwise, generally MPlayer works cool and it's definitely better than VLC (VLC crashes from time to time on my Windows XP).
But the top-of-the-list is still KMPlayer. So far, no problems KMPlayer, even with .flv playback.
If I have the time, I'll make a portableapp version of KMPlayer (hope there's no copyright issue or whatever).
FLV is flakey, No KMPlayer
FLV is flakey, non-standard and doesn't work well in any player... though it's getting better with each successive release of VLC.
KMPlayer is closed source. Repackaging it is illegal. And it's apparently violating the GPL, so KMPlayer should definitely be avoided.
FLV is only flaky in MPlayer
Well, so far all the other players (KMPlayer, VLC) have played back FLV without problems. Mebbe MPlayer needs to update its FLV codec or something.
Still, I quite like MPlayer... if not for the FLV problem.

Hi
Sorry to say my virus checker thinks this app is infected with Trojan.Download.Slob.AADO and won't let me download it.

False Positive. A lot of
False Positive. A lot of the apps here used to return false positives because some anti-virus scanners don't like NSIS and others don't like compressed executables

Ahem
That'll be her download.
Curiously, I've never had a problem downloading any other apps from this site (I have Audacity, ClamWin (although that wasn't the checker that objected), Filezilla, Faim, GIMP, KeePass, Firefox, Sunbird, Thunderbird, NCU, OpenOffice, Sudoku and VLC, all without any false positives).
What's different about MPlayer?
Thanks
Julie
Sorry.
Sorry.
Sorry to say ...
but it saves last opened directory/file somewhere on local hard disc.
Today I did a fresh installation of PAM and MPlayer Portable on a brand new USB stick. When I tried to open a file, it opens the directory I last used with MPlayer on my older (not connected) stick.

Windows Explorer
Actually, that's Windows Explorer that does that. File-Open and File-Save boxes are not part of an app. They're an API call to Windows to handle it. And Windows keeps track of the last directory used. All apps work that way.
And, for the last time, forums are great for support, comments on a news story are not.
Thanks and sorry
1.) Thanks for the fast reply.
2.) Sorry for posting here, but I thought it was a forum thread, because it's a RC not a final release.

It happens
It happens, no worries. And, sadly, MPlayer is only avilable as an RC release. Other than that, the project hasn't released anything in a while. We're hoping they do an RC or a final soon.
