SUPPORT AND DONATIONS + +8. HISTORY + + +1. INTRODUCTION +=============== + +Welcome to SMPlayer _VERSION_ _BUILD_ for OS/2 and eComStation. + +SMPlayer is a GUI front-end for MPlayer, a command-line movie player that is +available for many systems and supports a wide range of formats and codecs, +either natively or via Win32 DLL codecs. For instance, you can watch VideoCD, +SVCD, DVD, 3ivx, DivX 3/4/5, WMV, and even H.264 movies. + +SMPlayer intends to be a complete front-end for MPlayer, from 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... + +Other additional interesting features: + + * Configurable subtitles. You can choose font and size, and even colors for + the subtitles. + * 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. + * Possibility to search automatically for subtitles in opensubtitles.org. + * Translations: currently SMPlayer is translated into more than 20 languages, + including Spanish, German, French, Italian, Russian, Chinese, Japanese.... + * It's multiplatform. Binaries available for Windows, Linux, and now OS/2. + * SMPlayer is under the GPL license. + + +2.
