Mplayer focuses on low latency displaying by avoiding caching and is therefore perfectly suited to display live video streams from Elphel cameras.

Mplayer consists of 2 applications:

MPlayer allows viewing of multicast / unicast stream from the camera.

MEncoder allows live transcoding/dumping of the cameras videostream.

We do not maintain official binary releases.

But other places might offer binaries for a variety of operating systems.

Careful: The Ubuntu universe package of mplayer is outdated and not recommended.
