Installing MPlayer
Installing MPlayer is as easy as typing the command:
# emerge -vG mplayer
This will download the pre-compiled binary available at the BINHOST and install it on your PS3. All
that's left is running it. You can either run it using the command line, or double-click on the MPlayer
shortcut in whatever DE/WM you're using.
Starting MPlayer from the command line
You have to use x11 as the video driver and oss as the sound driver when playing videos in MPlayer.
# mplayer -vo x11 -ao oss -fs -zoom -sws 0 /path/to/file
Replace the path with wherever you've stored your media.
Starting MPlayer GUI
If you're using KDE, you will have got an entry for MPlayer in the Multimedia submenu in KMenu.
Just Right-click on that entry, select Edit item. In the window that opens, append these switches in the
command field:
gmplayer -vo x11 -ao oss -fs -zoom -sws 0
