SMPlayer 0.4.19

Click to read our editor's review for SMPlayerSMPlayer intends to be a complete front-end for MPlayer. It has basic features like playing videos, DVDs, and VCDs to more advanced features like support for MPlayer filters and more.

One of the most interesting features of SMPlayer: it remembers the settings of all files you play. So you start to watch a movie but you have to leave... don't worry, when you open that movie again it will resume at the same point you left it, and with the same settings: audio track, subtitles, volume...


key features of "SMPlayer":
· Audio track switching. You can choose the audio track you want to listen. Works with avi and mkv. And of course with DVDs.
· Seeking by mouse wheel. You can use your mouse wheel to go forward or backward in the video.
· Video equalizer, allows you to adjust the brightness, contrast, hue, saturation and gamma of the video image.
· Multiple speed playback. You can play at 2X, 4X... and even in slow motion.
· Filters. Several filters are available: deinterlace, postprocessing, denoise... and even a karaoke filter (voice removal).
· Audio and subtitles delay adjustment. Allows you to sync audio and subtitles.
· Advanced options, such as selecting a demuxer or video & audio codecs.
· Playlist. Allows you to enqueue several files to be played one after each other. Autorepeat and shuffle supported too.
· Preferences dialog. You can easily configure every option of SMPlayer by using a nice preferences dialog.
· Translations: SMPlayer is fully translated into Spanish and German.

SMPlayer is being developed in SuSE 9.2, using Qt 3.3.3, but it should be also possible to compile it with Qt 4, as I'm compiling it on Windows with Qt 4.2.2 opensource edition.

Currently SMPlayer is alpha software and some of the intended features (like support for VCDs or audio CDs) have not been implemented yet.

Requirements:
· MPlayer
· Qt 3.x

Requirements:
· Fixed a problem with the "frame step" option. Sometimes instead of one frame it could advance 2 (or more?) frames.
· Added the option Open->Playlist.
· In fullscreen mode, when you drag the time slider, the "jump to..." message will be displayed in the OSD.

What's New in This Release:
· Added options to move to the previous or next subtitle line in the subtitle files.
· Multiple files can be opened from command line: smplayer video1.avi video2.avi music.mp3 or smplayer *.mp3 (the first file will be played, the rest will be added to the playlist)
· Added a system tray icon if compiled with Qt 3 and KDE support.
