Should we compile MPlayer for Android?

---

Howdy all,

For some time, I've been wanting a MPlayer port for the HTC Tattoo, so I can watch AVI, WMV and other media formats on the go, like you can do on the iPhone (once jailbroken and you've downloaded the Mplayer app from Cydia).

Is this possible to compile? Android would benefit from a better media player...

Cheers,
Coburn

Already done. See here:

It's not really done - they made it in executing the mplayer binary on an android device but the app is really slow ATM and android ndk is not used also, so the app works but inacceptably slow :/

Have you make it works?
Could you offer the compiled package.
I am using xdandroid in raph800

If you can make it as good as the PC one, definitely YES! I believe it has great potential

I would like to have a decent video player like mplayer running under android. The question is can it be fast enough? Even with a 1 GHz cpu the software decoding could be quite a task.
