SMPlayer 18.10.0 for Easy

It was reported that the SMPlayer PET did not work in EasyOS 1.0.11. This was due to it being linked against a different Qt5 library than that used in the latest Easy. There was the same problem with Gnome-MPV and VLC, but they were fixed, and work in Easy 1.0.11.

So, have recompiled SMPlayer, and bumped the version from 18.3.0 to 18.10.0. You can download it direct from the ibiblio.org repository, however, it is recommended to run "petget" (see icon at top of screen) and update the PET package database, then install MPLayer PET -- you will find that it needs two dependencies, mpv and mpeg2dec.

Runs really nice for me. Here is the homepage:

...notice that the homepage refers to it using mplayer. Instead, I am using mpv, which is a fork of mplayer, and some think is superior. For example;
