Supposedly it forked because the improvements in the Git mirror weren’t being committed by the maintainers of the SVN repo. It looks like the competition spurred some improvements to the main Mplayer; they’ve merged in ffmpeg-mt (multithreading). Maybe more of the stuff in the list will make it into Mplayer(1).

I must say, I like just about everything in that feature comparison list… the question is, will mplayer2 gain enough traction to replace mplayer in package managers anytime soon?
