[mythtv-users] OS X & MythFrontend 0.18.1 with plugins

[David Snider]

Thanks for downloading the binary.  I'm very interested in your  
feedback, if a build doesn't work, I'll want to pull it off the site..

As for me, I use mplayer, but until recently, DVD VOB's with AC3 had  
noticeable static feedback.  However, I found that you can download  
the CVS version of mplayer and it compiles just fine on MacOSX.  It's  
much faster than previous versions (Uses the CoreVideo services now)  
and there is NO static feedback.

I don't know this for certain, but I installed mplayer first via fink  
(to get a lot of the dependencies, may or may not have been  
necessary) then downloaded the CVS version and compiled and installed  
to /usr/local/mplayer instead of /usr/local/bin.

My Video player settings are setup as /usr/local/mplayer/bin/mplayer %s.

My .mplayer/config contents are:
subcc=1
fs=1

I like the closed captions and full screen mode...

Never used Xine on Mac, found a link to a binary on Wikipedia, but  
could never get it to download.  To be honest, I just use the Apple  
DVD Player, no offense to the developers of MythDVD.
