.
.SH DESCRIPTION
.B mplayer
is a movie player for LINUX (runs on many other Unices and non\-x86 CPUs, see
the documentation).
It plays most MPEG/\:VOB, AVI, ASF/\:WMA/\:WMV, RM, QT/\:MOV/\:MP4, OGG/\:OGM,
VIVO, FLI, NuppelVideo, yuv4mpeg, FILM and RoQ files, supported by many
native, XAnim, and Win32 DLL codecs.
You can watch VideoCD, SVCD, DVD, 3ivx, DivX\ 3/\:4/\:5 and even WMV movies,
too (without the avifile library).
.PP
Another great feature of MPlayer is the wide range of supported output
drivers.
It works with X11, XV, DGA, OpenGL, SVGAlib, fbdev, AAlib, DirectFB, but you
can also use GGI, SDL (and this way all their drivers), VESA (on every VESA
compatible card, even without X11), some low level card-specific drivers (for
Matrox, 3Dfx and ATI) and some hardware MPEG decoder boards, such as the
Siemens DVB, DXR2 and DXR3/\:Hollywood+.
Most of them support software or hardware scaling, so you can enjoy movies in
fullscreen.
.PP
MPlayer has an onscreen display (OSD) for status information, nice big
antialiased shaded subtitles and visual feedback for keyboard controls.
European/\:ISO 8859-1,2 (Hungarian, English, Czech, etc), Cyrillic and Korean
fonts are supported along with 9 subtitle formats (MicroDVD, SubRip,
SubViewer, Sami, VPlayer, RT, SSA, AQTitle and our own: MPsub) and DVD
subtitles (SPU streams, VobSub and Closed Captions).
.PP
.B mencoder
(MPlayer's Movie Encoder) is a simple movie encoder, designed to encode
MPlayer-playable movies (see above) to other MPlayer-playable formats (see
below).
It encodes to DivX4, XviD, one of the libavcodec codecs and PCM/\:MP3/\:VBRMP3
audio in 1, 2 or 3\ passes.
Furthermore it has stream copying abilities, a powerful plugin system (crop,
expand, flip, postprocess, rotate, scale, noise, rgb/\:yuv conversion) and
more.
.PP
.B gmplayer
is MPlayer with a graphical user interface.
It has the same options as MPlayer.

.
.SH "GENERAL NOTES"
.B Also see the HTML documentation!
.PP
Every 'flag' option has a 'noflag' counterpart, e.g.\& the opposite of the
\-fs option is \-nofs.
.PP
You can put all of the options in a configuration file which will be read
every time mplayer is run.
The system-wide configuration file 'mplayer.conf' is in your configuration
directory (e.g.\& /etc/\:mplayer or /usr/\:local/\:etc/\:mplayer), the user
specific one is '~/\:.mplayer/\:config'.
User specific options override system\-wide options and options given on the
command line override either.
The syntax of the configuration files is 'option=<value>', everything after a
\'#' is considered a comment.
Options that work without values can be enabled by setting them to 'yes' or
\'1' and disabled by setting them to 'no' or '0'.
Even suboptions can be specified in this way.

.I EXAMPLE:
.br
# Use Matrox driver by default.
.br
vo=xmga
.br
# I love practicing handstands while watching videos.
.br
flip=yes
.br
# Decode/\:encode multiple files from png, start it with -mf on
.br
mf= type=png:fps=25


.SH "PLAYER OPTIONS (MPLAYER ONLY)"
.TP
.B \-autoq <quality> (use with \-vop pp)
Dynamically changes the level of postprocessing depending on available spare
CPU time.
The number you specify will be the maximum level used.
Usually you can use some big number.
You may not use it together with \-pp but it is OK with \-npp.
.TP
.B \-autosync <factor>
Gradually adjusts the A/\:V sync based on audio delay measurements.
Specifying \-autosync\ 0, the default, will cause frame timing to be based
entirely on audio delay measurements.
Specifying \-autosync\ 1 will do the same, but will subtly change the A/\:V
correction algorithm used.
An uneven video frame rate in a movie which plays fine with \-nosound can
often be helped by setting this to an integer value greater than 1.
The higher the value, the closer the timing will be to -nosound.
Try \-autosync\ 30 to smooth out problems with sound drivers which do
not implement a perfect audio delay measurement.
With this value, if large A/\:V sync offsets occur, they will only take about
1 or 2\ seconds to settle out.
This delay in reaction time to sudden A/\:V offsets should be the only
side-effect of turning this option on, for all sound drivers.
.TP
.B \-benchmark
Prints some statistics on CPU usage and dropped frames at the end.
Use in combination with \-nosound and \-vo null for benchmarking only the
video codec.
.TP
.B \-framedrop (also see \-hardframedrop)
Skips displaying some frames to maintain A/\:V sync on slow systems.
Decoding of B frames is also skipped and video filters are not used.
.TP
.B \-h, \-help, \-\-help
Show short summary of options.
.TP
.B \-hardframedrop
More intense frame dropping (breaks decoding).
Leads to image distortion!
.TP
.B \-input <commands>
This option can be used to configure certain parts of the input system.
Paths are relative to ~/\:.mplayer/.

.I NOTE:
.br
Autorepeat is currently only supported by joysticks.
.br
Available commands are:

.PD 0
.RSs
.IPs conf=<file>
Read alternative input.conf.
If given without pathname, ~/\:.mplayer is assumed.
.IPs ar\-delay
Delay in msec before we start to autorepeat a key (0 to disable).
.IPs ar\-rate
How many key presses per second when we autorepeat.
.IPs keylist
Prints all keys that can be bound.
.IPs cmdlist
Prints all commands that can be bound.
.IPs js\-dev
Specifies the joystick device to use (default is /dev/\:input/\:js0).
.RE
.PD 1
.
.TP
.B \-lircconf <configuration\ file>
Specifies a configuration file for LIRC (Linux Infrared Remote Control, see
http://www.lirc.org) if you don't like the default ~/\:.lircrc.
.TP
.B \-loop <number>
Loops movie playback <number> times.
0 means forever.
.TP
.B \-nojoystick
Turns off joystick support.
Default is on, if compiled in.
.TP
.B \-nolirc
Turns off LIRC support.
.TP
.B \-nortc \ \ 
Turns off usage of the Linux RTC (real-time clock \- /dev/\:rtc) as timing
mechanism.
.TP
.B \-playlist <file>
Play files according to a playlist (1 file per row or Winamp or ASX format).
.TP
.B \-quiet \ \ 
Display less output and status messages.
.TP
.B \-skin <skin\ directory> (BETA CODE)
Load skin from the given directory (WITHOUT path name).

.I EXAMPLE:
.PD 0
.RSs
.IPs "\-skin fittyfene"
tries /usr/\:local/\:share/\:mplayer/\:Skin/\:fittyfene first and
~/.mplayer/\:Skin/\:fittyfene afterwards
.RE
.PD 1
.
.TP
.B \-slave \ \ 
This option switches on slave mode.
This is intended for use of MPlayer as a backend to other programs.
Instead of intercepting keyboard events, MPlayer will read simplistic command
lines from its stdin.
The section
.B SLAVE MODE PROTOCOL
explains the syntax.
.TP
.B \-softsleep
Uses high quality software timers.
As precise as the RTC without requiring special privileges.
Comes at the price of higher CPU consumption.
.TP
.B \-speed <0.01\-100>
Set playback speed rate.
.TP
.B \-sstep <sec>
Specifies seconds between displayed frames.
Useful for slideshows.
.TP

Mplayer doesn't accept colons so type dots instead in the device ID
(e.g.\& hw.0,0 instead of hw:0,0).
.br
Be advised that although you can select any samplerate when using ALSA,
the LAME audio codec is able to encode only the 'standard' samplerates.
You'll get an .avi file with no sound when you choose an odd
samplerate and use this codec.

.RSss
0: mono
.br
1: stereo

2: language 1
.br

.REss
.IPs forcechan=<1\-2>
By default, the count of recorded audio channels is determined automatically
by querying the audio mode from the tv card.
This option allows to force stereo/\:mono recording regardless of the amode
option and the values returned by v4l.
This can be used for troubleshooting when the tv card is unable to report the
current audio mode.

Value given by \-pp is sent to the codec, if the codec has built-in
postprocess filter (newer win32 DShow DLLs, divx4linux) otherwise the external
postprocess filter plugin (-vop pp) is auto-loaded and used.
Note, that you can use the built-in and external pp at the same time, use \-pp

The valid range of \-pp value for built-in pp filters vary on codecs, mostly
0\-6, where 0=disable 6=slowest/\:best.
