Picklelauncher has been updated, so there is a new pnd out that makes it smoother, also fixed some bugs here and there. And in order to play back 720P content, you NEED RC2 of hotfix 5, or later.
I am proud to present the PND version of PanPlayer, an optimized mplayer build for the pandora that is wrapped up in PickleLauncher with an awesome skin by EvilDragon.
From the Readme:
For most files, the default settings should just work, a safe default for a large number of files is 600mhz, but for playing back h264 files and the like, I would recomend putting it to 750, or even 800. Unfortunately 720P h264 files is just too much for it, so keep that in mind.

Binary Version

The binary version you invoke by cd'ing to the directory with mplayer, /media/card/panplayer, for example, and doing a ./mplayer.sh filename. The script should handle the rest. Also this version isn't stripped, so if there is a problem, use this version and perhaps do a gdb dump by taking the options passed to mplayer,the first thing the script prints, and then passing that to mplayer, as well as the file, and running that with a gdb --args ./mplayer options filename , then typing r in the prompt. It should tell you at least what function failed, which I can try to look up.

I am proud to present the PND version of PanPlayer, an optimized mplayer build for the pandora that is wrapped up in PickleLauncher with an awesome skin by EvilDragon.
From the Readme:
Code:
This is an optimized build of mplayer for the pandora, wrapped within the picklelauncher frontend.
If you have Hotfix 5, RC2 or later, you can play back up to 720P files without quality loss using the omapfb video driver.
Only problem is some files will freeze the player when attempting this, so if it does freeze:
If you are in xfce, hold down the pandora button to bring up a dialog box that you can use to kill the player.
If in minimenu, most likely pressing pandora button will fix it.
The next time you attempt to launch the file, mplayer will attempt to launch the file using the lowres option, which doesn't work for h264,
but should work for at least divx encoded files.
If this does occur, you have to play back another file using omapfb in order for display using xv to work, couldn't find a way to prevent this.
So keep this in mind.
The files created in the appdata directory are the following:
mpconfig.conf - The configuration that mplayer uses, you can say
change the default audio and subtitle track that it looks for,
or any number of other settings.
mpinput.conf - The input configuration file, which contains all the pandora specific keybindings,
you can find a list of the default bindings within the mpdefaults.conf file,
don't bother editing this, as it's just for reference.
mpdefaults.conf - The default mplayer keybindings can be found in this file,
it's only for reference, it's not referenced in any way by mplayer.
profile.txt - This is where picklelauncher stores it's commands and the like,
you can add more file extensions to it so that you can then use picklelauncher to launch those files with mplayer.
config.txt - This is where picklelauncher stores it's configuration,
it's not recommended to edit this file unless you know what you are doing,
as it can break the skin, or even worse.
omapfb-blacklist - This file lists files that failed for whatever reason when trying to attempt playback using omapfb.
If the video freezes, press and hold down the pandora button to try to kill mplayer, but a hard reboot may be sometimes necessary in some cases.
After you kill the player, be aware playing a video that uses omapfb is necessary in order to fix the output.
Omapfb is invoked any time you try to play back a file that is larger than the screen size.
The default keybindings for picklelauncher are:
B - Select a file or directory
X - Go up a directory
Esc - Quit the application
It is also possible to type on the keyboard to filter the file list for files containing that string. So just type some characters to filter the list. Backspace to delete.
Default keybindings within the player are as follows:
B - Play/Pause
X - Quit
Y - Change audio track
A - Change subtitle track
Dpad:
Left/Right - Seek -/+ 10 seconds
Up/Down - Seek -/+ 60 seconds.For most files, the default settings should just work, a safe default for a large number of files is 600mhz, but for playing back h264 files and the like, I would recomend putting it to 750, or even 800. Unfortunately 720P h264 files is just too much for it, so keep that in mind.
