			: Not at all. I was going to add it myself at some point soon now that it's going to be in the next releases of both Debian and Ubuntu.
			: One nice thing about mpv is that there are very few config options to worry about, relative to mplayer/mplayer2 - the defaults seem to be generally sensible, automatically choosing accelerated video output devices and styled subs. I expect many users will get along just fine without any config file. -- [[User:Zaribet\|Zaribet]] ([[User talk:Zaribet\|talk]]) 01:02, 7 February 2014 (CET)

	I don't understand the logic for those two edits by Koolabsol. Why was the option to compile MPlayer from source removed? The other changes break formatting consistency. I'm reverting to my last edit in October '09 and reapplying some of the typos he fixed. -[[User:Raylu\|Raylu]] 17:56, 17 July 2010 (UTC)		I don't understand the logic for those two edits by Koolabsol.
