V-Mplayer

V-MPlayer is a modern media player for AmigaOS 4.1, written in Hollywood. It uses a custom-compiled MPlayer binary as its playback engine, enhanced with ARexx support and hardware-accelerated video output via VA-API.

Tested on X5000 with RX580 graphics card.

Note for QEMU and Pegasos 2 users: change the video output setting in the MPlayer configuration from vo=vaapi to vo=sdl. SDL supports window resize and does not require va.library.
