[MPlayer-dev-eng] [PATCH] mplayer through ssh

[Denis Ducamp]

Modern versions of OpenSSH listen on localhost to forward the X11 connection
(X11UseLocalhost defaults to yes). The following patch permits to consider
as non local any DISPLAY environment which port is greater or equal to 10
else mplayer tries a local optimization on a distant X server which doesn't
work.

I use this patch since a few weeks and it works for me localy:

vo: X11 running at 1400x1050 with depth 16 and 16 bpp (":0.0" => local display)
[...]
VO: [xv] 352x264 => 352x264 Planar YV12 

and distantly:

Xlib:  extension "XFree86-VidModeExtension" missing on display "localhost:15.0".
vo: X11 running at 1280x1024 with depth 16 and 16 bpp (":15.0" => remote display)
[...]
VO: [xv] 352x264 => 352x264 Planar YV12 
Shared memory not supported
Reverting to normal Xv

In fact a better patch would test that only if DISPLAY begins with
localhost:

Thanks again for mplayer :-)

Best regards,

Denis Ducamp.
