Is there any chance to update mplayer to higher version in Neon Unstable?
Comment 2 Piotr Mierzwinski 2023-12-04 17:00:13 UTC
Please notice that fullscreen doesn't completely work for wayland session with version 1.4 of mplayer. 
And smplayer crashes, probably because of old version of mplayer.

Would be also very nice if you would update ffmpeg libraries (libav... libsw... etc.) and mpv video player.
