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...

Changelog:

Two fixes for Windows Vista. Now IPv4 is used by default (connection to networks are faster). And now it really uses "gl:yuv=2:force-pbo:ati-hack" as the default video output driver. Note: this mode could give problems with some graphic cards (specially ATI), if you experience any, try the other gl variants, or just directx.

(Linux) Added a fix for a black screen problem when using Compiz.

Added an option to select the number of threads that mplayer will use for decoding (only works for MPEG-1/2 and some H.264 videos).

Added the possibility to disable the audio equalizer. Seems to be necessary to use the S/PDIF output.

Added some options to increase/decrease the speed by 1% and 4%. This allows to play 24 fps movies at 25 fps speed and vice versa.

Fix: sometimes the playlist is not shown. Added a workaround for the problem.

Added some checks to avoid crashes when selecting subtitle tracks.

(Windows) Added a new submenu Video->Screen to select the screen which will display the video when using directx.

The settings in smplayer.ini have been reorganized in several sections. (This also means most of your preferences will be lost and you will have to reconfigure smplayer again).

Added an option to mirror the video. And now it's also possible to flip and rotate the subtitles along with the image.

Added a new shortcut set (sda.keys) which can be loaded in the shortcut editor in preferences.

Added two new translations: Arabic and Kurdish.
