SMPlayer intends to be a complete front-end for MPlayer. It has basic features like playing videos, DVDs, and VCDs to more advanced features like support for MPlayer filters and more.

One of the most interesting features of SMPlayer: it remembers the settings of all files you play. So you start to watch a movie but you have to leave... don't worry, when you open that movie again it will resume at the same point you left it, and with the same settings: audio track, subtitles, volume...

SMPlayer is being developed in SuSE 9.2, using Qt 3.3.3, but it should be also possible to compile it with Qt 4, as I'm compiling it on Windows with Qt 4.2.2 opensource edition.

Currently SMPlayer is alpha software and some of the intended features (like support for VCDs or audio CDs) have not been implemented yet.
