demux_mkv very long seek fix The seek code searching for the closest position in the index used "int64_t min_diff=0xFFFFFFFL" as the initial "further from the goal than any real alternative" value. The unit is milliseconds so seeks more than about 75 hours past the end of the file would fail to recognize the last index position as the best match. This was triggered in practice by chapter seek code which apparently uses a seek of 1000000000 seconds forward to mean "seek to the end". The practical effect was that trying to seek to the next chapter in a file without chapters made MPlayer block until it finished reading the file from the current position to the end. Fixed by increasing the initial value from FFFFFFF to FFFFFFFFFFFFFFF.

MPlayer Windows GUI (c)
2003 Sascha Sommer - <[e-mail]>
2006 Erik Augustson - <[e-mail]>
2006 Gianluigi Tiesi - <[e-mail]>

This beta gui for win32 was originally written by Sascha Sommer and
has since been heavily modified by myself (Erik Augustson) and Gianluigi
Tiesi. It follows the same concept for the linux gui, and should be
able to load all(most) of the current skins available for the linux gui.

To compile, quite simply pass --enable-gui to configure, and it is highly
recommended to also pass --enable-static="-mwindows" to link mplayer as
a windows binary. NOTE: this will also link mencoder with -mwindows
and thus link mencoder as a windows binary as well.

To enable use of the gui, mplayer.exe must be renamed to/copied as
gmplayer.exe.
