That is exactly why none of MPlayer versions are in any official Debian repository. I am on debian sid with xfce 4.2 and I am forced to install realplayer 10.2 binaries (from helix community) beside my WxVLC 0.8.1, so yes I am still keeping 2 players.According to our reading of the GPL license (in use by both mplayer and vlc) mplayerOSX is violating their own licensing.
agreeI'm not sur to have understood all the messages...
I'm wondering if it would be a licensing violation to add an option to let people install manually real media source filters (and splitters) ?
What could make it outlaw ?

Research & Development Licenses
R & D licenses for RealAudio and RealVideo are no-cost and allow you to have access to the source code for the codecs:
- Real Format Source Code Porting And Optimization License - Client: This allows for R&D use of source code for the specific purpose of porting and optimizing the RealAudio and RealVideo decoders, as well as the ".rm" File Format and the RDT transport code.
Real Format Source Code Porting And Optimization License - Encoder (This license is not posted yet. Send inquiries to open-licensing@helixcommunity.org): This license allows for research and development use of source code for the specific purpose of porting and optimizing several add-on components, including RealAudio and RealVideo encoders, the ".rm" file writer writer component, and broadcast DLL.
These Helix licenses need to be signed and returned for approval. Please review the summary of licensing terms and how to submit a license. Once your license submission is approved, you will be sent instructions on how to access the source code site for RealAudio and RealVideo and Real Format SDK (note: these pages are restricted and only accessible to licensees).
i think no one understands. Vlc doesnt want to do, cant do, will not do... because they get their arse sued to high hell... plus its for mac OS and Windows ,.... which btw HELLO linx is not in that group so they have to work around what they have on linix and make it hopefully work <b>WHICH THEY CANT'!</b> People get over it i only use my vlc playier for conventional means of watchin dvd's and anime...so no one is developing a plug in for it?
