Why MPlayer?

At the time we started Elphel project MPlayer was the only working solution.

Usage with the Cameras

MPlayer allow to view the multicast / unicast stream from the camera.

MEncoder allow live transcoding.

Defference with the Main Branch

The official MPlayer have to be patched (one single line) and compiled with the last lib live555.

Binary Packages

We do not yet maintain official binary releases.

The only binary version is on the LiveDVD (Knoppix based) we send to customers with a camera.
