I can confirm that it works with recent mplayer, although in my case tab
completion doesn't work for webm yet.
It seems like webm either becomes dominant on the web, maybe even
replacing flash to a large extent, or it will vanish. At least that's
what I think, there's a huge patent war going on between webm and h.264
supporters.
Excerpts from Robin Gareus's message of 2011-07-25 21:33:23 +0200:
Hi Julien,
Update your mplayer and it'll play. webm uses vorbis for audio and matroska for the
container. Both have been supported in mplayer for a while.
All that is new is the VP8 video-codec. ffmpeg already has support for it (though
libwebm and IIRC also some internal decoder); so you could try 'ffplay'. Maybe
you just need to update mplayer/ffmpeg/libav* to the latest version of your
distribution.
And no, it's not YET ANOTHER FORMAT. If things work out it'll become the first
/widely used/ royality-free and open codec for video and make it into the HTML5 standard.
- well there's a bit more to it, but hey.. no time for love Dr Jones.
ciao,
robin

Hello everyone!
I've just seen, that youtube obviously is encouraging yet another new format on
their website. Now it's webM. Is there a simple way to play these files?
Again mark one restraint for my setup: It has to be commandline?
Kidnest regards
Julien
