This is a news which worth publish separately
I have ported SMPlayer, a mediaplayer which uses Mplayer as engine (i have also ported the last available revision of Mplayer with DVD, SMB and fontconfig support)
The peculiarity of this MediaPlayer, differently from the plain MediaPlayer of Haiku, is the ability of playing audio and video streaming, playing video DVDs and has support for downloading movies subtitles.
I have also ported âsmtubeâ: an embedded browser for Youtube
Works very well
EDIT 2013-03-28: BY USERS FEEDBACK SEEMS THAT MPLAYER (THE ENGINE WHICH SMPLAYER USE) VIDEO OUTPUT IS NOT COMPATIBLE WITH RADEON VIDEO CARDS, AND IN THIS CASE MPLAYER MIGHT CRASH.
Same here. I canât get it to work on R1a4.1 because of missing libpng. Are you on nightly or some older version, Giova84?[/quote]
Currently i am running SMPlayer on Haiku Alpha 4.1, and works fine. libpng is also included in the package.
To install the QT package, just unzip the zip file using /boot as destination.

Thatâs odd, it works now! =D I couldâve sworn Iâve tried unzipping the file there before and I still got the âmissing libpngâ error when trying to open Qupzilla. I guess I didnât, thank you for the help Giovanni.
@ waddlesplash If it helps any, Iâm currently running Haiku nightly rev. 45365

Let me know, waddlesplash: some other users have solved. I have found that issues occur in some circumstances, like for example the presence of an older revision of Qt.
Hi, I am almost there. When I click on the youtube icon ( desktop ) the SMPlayer boots and the file name runs banner like. But nothing further happens.i.e no video plays.
Can someone please tell me how to get a screen shot onto this forum, as in an answer showing what I am getting?
Eddie.
A couple of things, I went into preferences/networks and change the ipv6 to ipv4 but it made no difference.
I tried playing a Music DVD but the DVD select box doesnât do anything.? Again I get the DVD title bannering across the top but no play.
Are you able to play Youtube videos using Ubertuber or WebVideoPlayer?
EDIT:
in SMPLayer file settings (smplayer.ini) located in /boot/home/config/settings/Qt/.config/smplayer you can also try to set a lower quality for videos. Look for [Youtube] section and change the value of âqualityâ to 18.
For me Youtube works fine:
But sometimes, according to video quality/size, i have to wait some seconds for buffering (this occurs, eg, with HD videos)

To play a Music DVD, i suppose that you should open directly the files, not use âopen DVD folderâ which should be only for Video DVDs. If you can, try also SMPlayer on Windows and let me know how it works.

If you arenât able, this could be an issue with your connection.
Also try to change cache to an higher value (Preferences > Performance > Cache > Cache for st.reams eg to 8192) and when you start a video, wait some seconds for buffering
If you attempt to start mplayer (the software on which SMPlyaer is based) in a Terminal window, what you get? Do you have a radeon video card?
Hi, SMplayer works in Win7 64bit. Audio CD works straight away as per normal. Video DVD ( What I call Music DVD ) plays from folder as per your reccomendation.Tried running from the Disc selection but no go.
I have this minute booted Haiku and edited the file you gave me , locked up, rebooting.
I edited the file to 18 as per your instructions. Smplayer initially booted and then I tried to play youtube but as before , no go.
The URL bannered and then stopped halfway.
I then couldnât get SMplayer to close so rebooted and found my Haiku Flash drive wouldnât boot so will reinstall and get back.
One thing I did notice between the Windows SMp and the Haiku SMp was that the Windows version in the Open/Disc/DVD from drive box, had lines of type in the right hand side whereas Haiku doesnât.
Hi, Ok, just reloaded Haiku and the only thing I have changed is the Screen res.
SMplayer will not boot to screen . I have to click on the SMplayer icon in the control panel and then it boots to screen.
I have placed a video DVD in the ODD and from the DVD from folder I typed in " D: " then I select where the video files are and click apply. The ODD spins up, the banner runs through but again no play.
I did see the Mplayer ( not SMplayer ) flash up in the control panel.
I have previously had no prob running youtube via Ubertube.
My connection is perfect.
Radeon no, Nvidia.
Just noticed in the control panel that there is a Blue icon. If I click on it it asks , Select media. I select Desktop, then the DVD then the file. A box appears with this inside it.
The application
/boot/common/bin/mplayer -noquiet -
nofs -nomouseinput -vc cores.
has encountered âŚ
debug ok.
I am running on a 4 gb flash have change cache to 3000
The youtube works perfectly. I CnP an addy in and it finds it perfectly.

Sorry: maybe i donât understad correctly: do you have typed âD:â in Haiku? In Haiku, hard disks and DVD/CD drives has no letters like in Windows
But maybe you was referring to Windows: sorry if i havenât understood correctly
In Haiku you have to open Tracker and just select th DVD icon which contains a video dvd.

Try to change cache to 8192 as iâve suggested before.
Edit: ok i have read that now you CnP an addy in and it finds it perfectly
This shortcut, as said, works for files, not for DVDs, to play a video DVD, you have to open it inside SMPlayer via âOpen a DVD folderâ and then select the DVD drive itself inside Tracker, not vob files inside DVD:
I have just installed a dedicated Nvidia card as opposed to an onboard. I thought I would try just to see if it made any difference, nada.
Currently⌠Cache set to 8192 as per your instructions and the quality down from 22 to 18. smtube is working perfectly. I copy a youtube addy in and it shows immediately. I click on that new video and SMplayer pops up on the screen. The addy runs across banner like and then nothing.

Ok. You have said again that works perfectly, like in the previous post (when you set cache to 3000) but then you say that now you got an error. I canât understand. Maybe you donât use properly. But in anyway, if for you doesnât work properly, you can uninstall it
Delete /boot/apps/SMPlayer and /boot/apps/MPlayer
