This patch is obsoleted by AmigaOS4.1 Update 3, although the source code might still be useful for any coders.

@Varthall who said [i]"MPlayer trying to close Workbench screen? I'd like to hear more about this... when does this happen, or is it possible to trigger this with a specific procedure?"[/i] 
 
MPlayer appears to try to close the Workbench screen when you switch to Full Screen (i.e. it's own screen) using the "f" key.  Since this usually fails, my older r1 patch would get stuck in an infinite loop (but this is now fixed for r2).

@ChrisH 
 
CIAgent adds a resource into the system. But it doesn't patch any libraries. It does however patch it's own interrupt vector in using SetIntVector(). If you call that a patch.

MPlayer trying to close Workbench screen? I'd like to hear more about this... when does this happen, or is it possible to trigger this with a specific procedure?

@Thematic 
My RunInUAE patches OS4, and came before this!  But CIAgent & BlitZen came long ago, and I think they count as OS4-specific patches? 
 
@all 
Please note that in "r2" I have already fixed some serious compatibility problems with MPlayer amoung others, which is sitting in the upload queue waiting to be verified.

The first OS4-specific patch that I can think of - congratulations?

This is definitely a candidate for inclusion in a future OS update. 
 
Nice work.
