Since version 16.6 the SMPlayer packages are built with Qt 5 by default.
However some users don’t like Qt 5 (for example the file open dialog is different) or there are bugs (for example in some versions of Qt 5 the numeric keypad keys don’t work as accelerators). For that reason now there’s available another PPA for Ubuntu with packages compiled with Qt 4.
https://launchpad.net/~rvm/+archive/ubuntu/smplayer-qt4
To install packages from that PPA, first remove the normal PPA:
sudo add-apt-repository -r ppa:rvm/smplayer
Add the new one:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:rvm/smplayer-qt4
Update and install:
sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install smplayer smplayer-themes smplayer-skins
Many thanks for this!
Yes, thanks a lot for this! And for the explanations how to install it. It works perfectly for me, as far as I can say.
Yes, thanks indeed ! On debian 8 “jessie”, the seekbar won’t work in fullscreen mode for me with the stock 14.09 smplayer. This one fixes it!
