Does -slave work on Windows 98?

I'm developing a mplayer front-end using the Qt libraries (smplayer). So
theorically it should work too on Windows 98.

But I've been reported that smplayer doesn't work properly under Windows 98 
and Windows ME.

I installed Win 98 in a virtual machine, and indeed the problem seems that 
mplayer ignores (or doesn't get) the slave commands. I tested with another 
GUI (MPUI) and it has exactly the same problem.

Tested several mplayer builds, including 1.0rc1, with the same result.

Is this a bug in mplayer, or simply it's a limitation of those versions of 
Windows?

hmm, not sure, it could be a problem with those versions of windows.

did you try cygwin or mingw mplayer builds? i wonder if it works with
cygwin...

just wanted to say thanks for your hard work, smplayer is a wonderful
frontend!

I think they are mingw builds. Where can I get a cygwin mplayer build?

Self compile.
Or I can offer you a version if you want.

x264 - linker error

                Hi!

The latest SVN of x264 is not working when I'm compiling mplayer. Have a

#include <x264.h>
#if X264_BUILD < 53
#error We do not support old versions of x264. Get the latest from SVN.
#endif
int main(void) { x264_encoder_open((void*)0); return 0; }

Once I tried (with mingw). Too difficult. A lot of packages to install. After 
several hours installing packages I got compilation errors...

I would appreciate.

you can get some older cygwin builds from:
http://armory.nicewarrior.org/projects/cygmp/
(found on the related projects page on mplayerhq.hu).
