Freevo Runtime
==============

Freevo - A Linux Home Theater PC Framework


This directory contains the Freevo runtime. It contains an executable,
freevo_python, dynamic link libraries for running Freevo as well as a copy
of the standard Python 2.2 libraries. It also contains the Freevo external 
applications. Right now that is MPlayer, cdparanoia and lame.

Please see the website at http://freevo.sourceforge.net for more information 
on how to use Freevo. The website also contains links to the source code
for all software included here.

Mplayer binary distribution for Freevo
======================================

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
DO NOT ASK THE MPLAYER MAILINGLIST OR PEOPLE FOR HELP WITH THIS PACKAGE!

This binary distribution of MPlayer is an un-official, 
un-supported (by the MPlayer project) release. If you have any problems
either try the official MPlayer release or CVS, or ask on the Freevo
mailing lists!
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


This release is based on a CVS version of MPlayer. Please see the build/Makefile
for version details. It includes a snapshot of the FFmpeg video codec.

It was compiled with:
./configure --enable-tv-v4l --enable-mga --enable-xmga --enable-runtime-cpudetection --enable-largefiles --disable-lirc --disable-svga --disable-arts --disable-directfb --disable-xvid --disable-divx4linux --disable-gif --disable-gl --datadir=./apps/mplayer --confdir=./apps/mplayer

TBD


Note that the Win32 codecs are not included, they might be needed to
play certain audio/video formats. They can be downloaded from the 
MPlayer website.

It is fairly simple to download and compile your own release.
