Famplayer is a media player for the Linux iPAQ. It uses a plugin architecture to handle various file formats.

As of version 0.3.0 it supports libmpeg3 based plugin that can of many things handle MPEG-1/2 Video files and MP3 audio files. There is also a Ogg Vorbis plugin in this version.

It was written after seraching around in vain for MPEG video player that works properly under the Familiar environment. Many ideas were borrowed from  "mpegplayer" that comes with the Qtopia environment.
