MPlayer in public space · 27 July 2006 by Alex Beregszaszi

I had a photo lying around for months, with the plan of writing a post about it, but it wasn’t happening. It got a push today, because Arpi (of MPlayer fame) sent in a mail to the list about MPlayer occuring in a hungarian movie, Kutfejek.

So, my original post was about the pictures I took. It happened while going to a Tesco super-hyper-gigamarket for buying some chees or like that. On the bazaar way in the Tesco, there was a new kiosk machine, with the title munka.hu, which is possibly a site of the Labour Center.

The kiosk was running some kind of Linux with Firefox on top of it. It even presented some magic: while loading the browser, MPlayer was displaying an animated globe.

Free Video at Linuxtag 2006 · 8 May 2006 by Alex Beregszaszi

Linuxtag is the biggest linux and free software related exhibition and conference in Europe. We as the MPlayer team have been organizing a booth about multimedia – video – since three years, and calling it the Free Video Booth.

This year was the first when really it was not MPlayer-only, but FFmpeg folks have joined!

Sadly I couldn’t be there as I planned, but two developers have already shared their pictures online: Roberto and Guillaume.
