I just noticed that the main devede project is now hosted on github. This will make it easier to work on the windows port.

Master: https://github.com/devede/Devede Windows fork: https://github.com/majorsilence/Devede


I have moved the devede windows source code to github. This should make it easier for anyone who wants to do any work or modifications to devede.

All installer packages will still be host on http://www.majorsilence.com


UPDATE: 09/03/2011 Source code is now hosted at github: https://github.com/majorsilence/MPlayerControl

UPDATE: 04/03/2011 Uploaded new package with bug fixes.

I have written a small .NET wrapper library for MPlayer . This has been tested on Windows XP/7 and Ubuntu Linux 10.10. It should work fine on OS X and anywhere else that mono runs.

On windows it requires that there be a directory and file “backend\mplayer.exe” in it in the same folder as the dll. On all other system it requires that mplayer be installed and in the path. It may require some tweaks to getting working on some systems.

It can play both audio and video files. It includes a sample user interface.

It currently supports play, pause, stop. seek and some other basic functionality. I only add new features as I require them or people send in patches.


There is a bug in devede when using imgburn to create an ISO file; it would prompt you for the files system type.. I just committed a fix to my subversion repository to fix this. It was basically a typo. The code had /FILESYSTEM “ISO9960 + Joliet” when it should of been /FILESYSTEM “ISO9660 + Joliet”.

Once it has been built and tested I will be uploading a new build of devede for windows.


This is a short list of the steps necessary to build a DeVeDe release for Windows.
