config-mplayer 0.1

config-mplayer 0.1 offers you a small but very useful GUI program which is designed for customising your mplayer configuration. It is NOT a wrapper or GUI version of mplayer. It's only business is showing some configuration options and rewriting the mplayer config whenever you change them. The idea is that you can customise it with YOUR desired configuration options just by editing a few files.

Major Features:

1. Switching my audio output between rooms (devices).
2. Changing the DISPLAY which mplayer will play on - for playing on my main desktop, my TV, or within VNC (and in the case of VNC - selecting the SDL driver which actually works over VNC).
3. Switching the video to use X11 so that I can take a screenshot.
4. Changing the aspect ratio of a video when the file is incorrect.
5. Toggling the 'eq2' filter on when I start a second instance of mplayer and the first instance has got the overlay brightness control.
6. Starting in fullscreen
7. Cropping the black borders off of a PAL video within a wide format stream.
8. Adding a volume filter for low or high volume video files.
9. Toggling deinterlacing.
10. Forcing the OSD on or off.
11. Forcing the index of a dodgy file to be rebuilt.
12. Switching to using a different XV port when the main one decides to stop working and just stays blue (very rare these days).
13. Selecting an MPEG-TS transport stream pid.
14. Adjusting subtitle position

Requirements:

• GTK version 2.xxx
• perl GTK2 bindings (perl-gtk2 or gtk2-perl depending on your system)
