Many thanks, I've merged your changes into master of that fork repo.
Let me know what your username is if you want to use that repository
for development.

Yes, I think using that DRI for the decoder access would be the way to
go, also perhaps using one of the new frameworks that popped up in
mplayer. Unforunately I won't have to time to work on that and I
might not have the required skills either, I've never done advanced
graphics stuff.

I've never tried to push them because I wasn't sure my approach was
correct, I suppose the use of the hwmp4 codec that I added has now
either been obsoleted upstream by a similar codec added by somebody
else or there is some new entire frame that obsoletes all the
passthrough codecs. Now I won't have time to work on it and the other
demotivator is that the number of GTA02s that have been produced with
the glamo chip is limited and the new models I hear will not have it.
Thanks for your work on making the mplayer fork usable on Neo so far.
Cheers
