I tried to recompile (from linux) the file gmplay-1.5a with the right parameters but I get this error: 'mnt/us/extensions/videos/gmplay: line 1: syntax error: unterminated quoted string'.

Can anyone help me out or have a compiled version for paperwhite 4?

Thank you all in advance!

Long time ago, but I just stumbled across the same issue trying to adapt the video player for the current kindle. Since I found a solution, I want to share it if someone else gets the same error:
You have to use a cross compiler, otherwise the kindle cannot read the format (even if it is an C application). After some searching I found a version of the tcc for the kindle, so you can compile the code right on the kindle (obviously takes longer than on a computer but works for me).

This project could be said to be A class other than the fact that you need to convert mp4 into gmv.gz and well in tried ffmpeg on kindle but it's giving errors(it's a headache) well till now I am still using pre uploaded gmv.gz files by geekmaster and have not converted a single mp4. If anyone can host a website or smth to convert em then that will be for the best.
