SLIMPlayer - Simple and Lightweight Media Player (based on FFmpeg)
SLIMPlayer is a media player I've been working on that aims to make a make a no-frills media player based on FFmpeg and related libraries (libass atm for SSA/ASS fonts).
Something like FFplay, just more modern and readable.
It is written in C++0x, with required GCC version 4.5 (might work on 4.4, but not sure).
Video output: GLFW / Cg shaders. This could be replaced with XGL / GLSL to minimize dependencies, however, I have no experience with X11 programming. If someone is knowledgeable with VDPAU/VA-API and know how to hook it up in FFmpeg (hw decoding), that would be nice as well.
Audio output: ALSA, RSound, (OSSv4 will come).
It is in heavy development now, but it is decent enough that you could watch a movie with it. I've mostly tested the standard H.264/AAC/MKV with ASS subs (anime 
).
Keybinds:
Will use MPlayer bindings where appropriate. Currently seeking, pausing and quitting works. (You need the video window in focus for this currently.)
Notable issues atm:
* Some video files don't seem to provide essential audio timestamps. Seeking in those files will be very hacky and somewhat broken.
* Rarely, seeking could lead to a segfault in ffmpeg. Not sure what's causing this. Probably threading issues. (EDIT: Seems to be fixed.)
* ASS font rendering seems to eat a lot of CPU.
Repo:
git://github.com/Themaister/SLIMPlayer.git
Dependencies at the moment:
* glfw (AUR)
* nvidia-cg-toolkit [community]
* alsa-lib [extra]
* ffmpeg [extra]
* libass [extra]
Building:
Just type
make && sudo make installEDIT: PKGBUILD

Awesome. On top of my todo list 
Will check it later and give some feedback. Will be difficult though, since I use mplayer-minimal-svn.
Good work.

Re: SLIMPlayer - Simple and Lightweight Media Player (based on FFmpeg)
does the nvidia-cg-toolkit mean you have to have an nvidia card to run the program?

No, Cg generates GL programs, so it should run just fine on ATi or Intel, however, I can't test and verify this. Porting the Cg to GLSL should be trivial, so I hope someone is willing to port that.
