Another advantage: It abolished the horrible internationalization |
| 45 |
mechanism of mplayer1 and uses gettext now. This means I can finally |
| 46 |
post English output on mailing lists and bug trackers by executing it |
| 47 |
like 'LC_ALL=C mplayer2 foo' instead of recompiling it. |
| 48 |
|
| 49 |
It also doesn't restart playback when switching between fullscreen and |
| 50 |
window mode. |
| 51 |
|
| 52 |
One disadvantage: I often watch videos I'm recording from dvb-t. With |
| 53 |
mplayer1 I could seek behind the official end of the file (when I record |
| 54 |
1 hour in advance, watch 15 minutes, I could seek to 1:15:00). With |
| 55 |
mplayer2, it only seeks to the official end, so if I want to seek to |
| 56 |
1:15:00, I have to restart mplayer2. |
| 57 |
|
| 58 |
Overall, I'm quiet satisfied with mplayer2 and use it exclusively for |
| 59 |
playback. I still keep mplayer1 because mplayer2 does not provide mencoder. |
