MPlayer for Windows (2019-10-15)

[LoRd_MuldeR]

I've just put together a package of "MPlayer for Windows".

The "all-in-one" installer includes everything you'll need in a self-contained download (MPlayer binaries + SMPlayer/MPUI front-end + Codecs).

Thought I can share this, as it might be useful for others too...

• http://sourceforge.net/projects/muld...for%20Windows/
• https://www.assembla.com/spaces/mpla...ller/documents

Sources:
MPlayer on Win32 | MPlayer SVN | SMPlayer | Install Script

Warning: I recently got report that some antivirus programs (Kasperski in particular) prevent the installer from working properly!
So even if your antivirus software does not display any alerts, it still may be the reason for the installer to fail.
In that case you'll need to disable your antivirus software before installing, until they (the antivirus team) have fixed the problem.

3. Anti-Virus Warning
---------------------

Occasionally your Antivirus program may mistakenly detect "malware"
(virus, trojan, worm, etc.) in some of the files here. This is called a
"false-positive" and the files are actually innocent/clean. It´s an
error in your specific Antivirus software.

In case you encounter such problems, goto http://www.virustotal.com/
and check the file again with multiple Antivirus engines! And take care
with results like "suspicious" , "generic" or "packed". Those are *not*
real hits, they are just wild speculation.

Apparently Antivirus programs tend to suspect installers/uninstaller
created with NSIS. Furthermore some Antivirus programs blindly suspect
all UPX´d (packed) executables of being malware. Obviously this is a
stupid generalization, so please ignore those warnings!

Last but not least: Always keep in mind that this is OpenSource
software! If you don´t trust the people providing the pre-compiled
binaries, download the source codes and compile them yourself.

DON´T SUBMIT ANY VIRUS/TROJAN REPORTS, UNLESS YOU HAVE VERIFIED THE
INFECTION WITH MULTIPLE ANTIVIRUS ENGNINES. THANKS!
