'''mplayer2''' was a GPLv3-licensed fork of MPlayer, largely the work of Uoti Urpala, who was excluded from the MPlayer project in May 2010 due to "long standing differences" with the MPlayer Team.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=OTI0Ng |title=Is MPlayer2 a viable fork of MPlayer? |publisher=[[Phoronix]] |date=2011-03-24 |access-date=2014-04-18}}</ref> The main changes from MPlayer were improved pause handling, Matroska support, seeking, and support for Nvidia VDPAU; enabling multithreading by default; and the removal of MEncoder, the GUI interface, and various video drivers and bundled libraries, such as ffmpeg, relying instead on shared libraries.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.mplayer2.org/comparison.html |title=mplayer2 differences from mplayer |date=2011 |access-date=May 4, 2015 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120504055423/http://www.mplayer2.org/comparison.html |archive-date=May 4, 2012 }}</ref><ref>{{cite web |url=http://ostatic.com/blog/did-you-know-there-was-a-fork-of-mplayer |title=Did You Know there was a Fork of MPlayer? |publisher=ostatic.com |date=2011-03-22 |access-date=2011-11-29 |archive-date=2012-01-11 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120111135451/http://ostatic.com/blog/did-you-know-there-was-a-fork-of-mplayer |url-status=dead }}</ref> The developers also indicated intentions to enable MPlayer2 to use [[Libav]] as an alternative to ffmpeg.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://blogs.gentoo.org/scarabeus/2013/01/15/libav-going-to-be-default-provider-for-your-codec-experience/#comment-2705|title=Libav going to be default provider for your codec experience (comment)|date=January 16, 2013}}</ref> The first release, 2.0, was published in March 2011.
