125 <A NAME=1>1. Introduction</A>
|
|
1612
|
126
|
|
|
127
|
|
1668
|
128 <A NAME=1.1>1.1. Overview</A>
|
|
1612
|
129
|
|
|
130 <B>MPlayer</B> is a movie player for LINUX. It plays most MPEG, AVI and ASF files,
|
|
|
131 supported by many native and Win32 DLL codecs. You can watch VCD, DVD and
|
|
|
132 even DivX movies too. The another big feature of mplayer is the wide range of
|
|
|
133 supported output drivers. It works with X11, Xv, DGA, OpenGL, SVGAlib, fbdev,
|
|
|
134 AAlib, but you can use SDL (and this way all drivers of SDL) and some
|
|
|
135 lowlevel card-specific drivers (for Matrox) too! Most of them supports
|
|
|
136 software or hardware scaling, so you can enjoy movies in fullscreen. And what
|
|
|
137 about the nice big antialiased shaded subtitles (7 supported types!!!) with
|
|
|
138 hungarian, english, cyrillic, czech, korean fonts, and OSD?
|
|
|
139
|
|
|
140 I didn't write any codecs, just some players. I spent
|
|
|
141 a lot of time finding the best way to parse bad damaged input files
|
|
|
142 (both MPEG and AVI) and to do perfect A-V sync with seeking ability.
|
|
|
143 My player is rock solid playing damaged MPEG files (useful for some VCDs),
|
|
|
144 and it plays bad AVI files which are unplayable with the famous
|
|
|
145 windows media player. Even AVI files without index chunk are playable, and
|
|
|
146 you can rebuild their indexes with the -idx option, thus enabling seeking!
|
|
|
147 As you see, stability and quality are the most important things for me,
|
|
|
148 but the speed is also amazing.

151 <A NAME=1.2>1.2. History</A>
|
|
1612
|
152
|
|
|
153 This began a year ago...
|
|
|
154 I've tried lots of players under linux (mtv,xmps,dvdview,livid/oms,VideoLAN,
|
|
|
155 xine,xanim,avifile,xmmp) but they all have some problem. Mostly with special
|
|
|
156 files or with audio/video sync. Most of them is unable to play both MPEG1,
|
|
|
157 MPEG2 and AVI (DivX) files. Many players have image quality or speed problems
|
|
|
158 too. So I've decided to write/modify one...
|
|
|
159
|
|
|
160 - mpg12play v0.1-v0.3:
|
|
|
161 The first try, hacked together in a half hour!
|
|
|
162 I've used libmpeg3 from www.heroinewarrior.com up to the version 0.3,
|
|
|
163 but there were image quality and speed problems with it.
|
|
|
164 - mpg12play v0.5-v0.87:
|
|
|
165 Mpeg codec replaced with DVDview by Dirk Farin, it was a great stuff,
|
|
|
166 but it was slow and was written in C++ (I hate C++!!!)
|
|
|
167 - mpg12play v0.9-v0.95pre5:
|
|
1668
|
168 Mpeg codec was libmpeg2 (mpeg2dec) by Aaron Holtzman & Michel Lespinasse.
|
|
1612
|
169 It's great, optimized very fast C code with perfect image quality and
|
|
|
170 100% MPEG standard conformance.
|
|
|
171 - <B>MPlayer</B> v0.3-v0.9:
|
|
|
172 It was a pack of two programs: mpg12playv0.95pre6 and my new simple AVI
|
|
|
173 player 'avip' based on avifile's Win32 DLL loader.
|
|
|
174 - <B>MPlayer</B> v0.10:
|
|
|
175 The MPEG and AVI player in a single binary!
|
|
|
176 - <B>MPlayer</B> v0.11:
|
|
|
177 Some new developers joined and from 0.11 the mplayer project is a team-work!
|
|
|
178 Added .ASF file support, and OpenDivX (see www.projectmayo.com) en/decoding.
|
|
|
179 - <B>MPlayer</B> v0.17 "The IdegCounter"
|
|
|
180 The release version of the 0.11pre after 4 months of heavy development!
|
|
|
181 Try it, and be amazed! Thousands of new features added... and of course
|
|
|
182 old code was improved too, bugs removed etc.
|
|
|
183 - <B>MPlayer</B> 0.18 "The BugCounter"
|
|
|
184 2 months since 0.17 and here's a new release.. Completed ASF support,
|
|
|
185 more subtitle formats, introduced libao (similar to libvo but to audio),
|
|
|
186 even more stable than ever, and so on. It's a MUST !
|
|
|
187

|
189 <A NAME=1.3>1.3. Installation</A>
|
|
1612
|
190
|
|
|
191 If you plan to use <B>MPlayer</B> on x86 architecture, you possibly want to use
|
|
|
192 Win32 codecs. Download and unzip w32codecs.zip to /usr/lib/win32 .
|
|
|
193 Note: the avifile project has similar codecs package, but it differs
|
|
|
194 from our, so if you want to use all supported codecs, then use
|
|
|
195 our package! However, you can use our codecs package with avifile.
|
|
|
196
|
|
|
197 If you own a Matrox G200/G400/G450 card, then please see the <A HREF="video.html#2.2.1.7">2.2.1.7</A>
|
|
|
198 section in order to gain big speedup. It is important to do these steps
|
|
|
199 _before_ compiling <B>MPlayer</B>, otherwise no Matrox-specific support will be
|
|
|
200 built.
|
|
|
201
|
|
1624
|
202 If you plan to use the ProjectMayo's <B>DivX4</B> codec, check the
|
|
1612
|
203 <A HREF="codecs.html#2.1.2.1">2.1.2.1</A> section before compiling.
|
|
|
204
|
|
|
205 Then build <B>MPlayer</B>:
|
|
|
206
|
|
|
207
|
|
|
208 ./configure
|
|
|
209 make
|
|
|
210 make install
|
|
|
211
|
|
|
212
|
|
|
213 It is recommended to browse the output of ./configure , it contains info
|
|
|
214 about what will be built, and what won't. You may also want to view
|
|
|
215 config.h and config.mak files.
|
|
|
216
|
|
|
217 Though not mandatory, the fonts should be installed in order to gain
|
|
1624
|
218 OSD, and subtitle functionality. Download mp_font3.zip and optional
|
|
|
219 (if exists) language updates.
|
|
1612
|
220
|
|
|
221
|
|
|
222 mkdir ~/.mplayer/font
|
|
|
223 cd ~/.mplayer/font
|
|
|
224 unzip mp_font3.zip
|
|
|
225 unzip mp_font3_hu.zip
|
|
|
226
|
|
|
227
|

|
228 <A NAME=1.4>1.4. What about the GUI ?</A>
|
|
1612
|
229
|
|
|
230 I'm not a GUI programmer. I hate GUIs, I like the pure black 80x25 console.
|
|
|
231 So the player has only keyboard control from the controlling console/xterm now.
|
|
|
232 There is a GUI development for the player, coordinated by Pontscho/Fresh!
|
|
|
233 It's still under development, but it will be merged and released real soon.
|
|
|
234 BTW he needs some nice skins, if you are a good graphician, contact him!!!

282 <A NAME=3.2>3.2. Control from LIRC</A>
|
|
1612
|
283
|
|
|
284 Linux Infrared Remote Control - use an easy to build home-brewn IR-receiver,
|
|
|
285 an (almost) arbitrary remote control and control your linux box with it!
|
|
|
286 More about it at www.lirc.org.
|
|
|
287
|
|
|
288 If you have installed the lirc-package, you can compile <B>MPlayer</B> with LIRC
|
|
|
289 support using ./configure --enable-lirc
|
|
|
290
|
|
|
291 If everything went fine, <B>MPlayer</B> will print a message like
|
|
|
292 LIRC init was successful.
|
|
|
293 on startup. If an error occurs it will tell you. If it doens't tell you
|
|
|
294 anything about LIRC there's no support compiled in. That's it :-)
|
|
|
295
|
|
|
296 The application name for <B>MPlayer</B> is - oh wonder - mplayer_lirc.
|
|
|
297 It understands the following commands:
|
|
|
298
|
|
|
299 PAUSE - pause playing. Any other keystroke will continue replay.
|
|
|
300 QUIT - exit mplayer
|
|
|
301 RWND - 10 secs back
|
|
|
302 FRWND - 60 secs back
|
|
|
303 FWD - skip 10 secs
|
|
|
304 FFWD - skip 60 secs
|
|
|
305 INCVOL - increase volume one percent
|
|
|
306 DECVOL - decrease volmue one percent
|
|
|
307 MASTER - use master mixer channel
|
|
|
308 PCM - use pcm mixer channel
|
|
|
309
|
|
|
310 Don't forget to enable the repeat flag for RWND/FWD in .lircrc. Here's an
|
|
|
311 excerpt from my .lircrc:
|
|
|
312
|
|
|
313 begin
|
|
|
314 remote = CU-SX070
|
|
|
315 prog = mplayer_lirc
|
|
|
316 button = Tape_Play
|
|
|
317 repeat = 1
|
|
|
318 config = FFWD
|
|
|
319 end
|
|
|
320
|
|
|
321 begin
|
|
|
322 remote = CU-SX070
|
|
|
323 prog = mplayer_lirc
|
|
|
324 button = Tape_Stop
|
|
|
325 config = QUIT
|
|
|
326 end
|
|
|
327
|
|
|
328 If you don't like the standard location for the lirc-config file (~/.lircrc)
|
|
|
329 use the -lircconf [filename] switch to specify another file.

332 <A NAME=3.3>3.3. Streaming from network or pipes</A>
|
|
1612
|
333
|
|
|
334 <B>MPlayer</B> can play media from network, by using the HTTP protocol, and even
|
|
|
335 beta ASF streaming (FROM network) is available.
|
|
|
336 Configuring it is simple, just recompile <B>MPlayer</B> with
|
|
|
337
|
|
|
338
|
|
|
339 ./configure --enable-streaming
|
|
|
340
|
|
|
341
|
|
|
342 <B>MPlayer</B> can read from stdin (NOT named pipes). This can be for example
|
|
|
343 used to play from FTP :
|
|
|
344
|
|
|
345
|
|
|
346 wget ftp://micorsops.com/something.avi -O - | mplayer -

1612
|
359
|
|
|
360 To build the package, get the cvs version, or .tgz and uncompress it,
|
|
|
361 and cd into programs directory:
|
|
|
362
|
|
|
363
|
|
|
364 cd main

371 And now just become root, and :
|
|
|
372
|
|
|
373
|
|
|
374 dpkg -i ../mplayer_0.18-1_i386.deb as root.
|
|
|
375
|
|
|
376
|
|
|
377 Here's how it looks like:
|
|
|
378

387 <A NAME=6.2>6.2. FreeBSD</A>
|
|
1612
|
388
|
|
|
389 To build the package you will need GNU make (gmake, /usr/ports/devel/gmake),
|
|
|
390 native BSD make will not work.
|
|
|
391
|
|
|
392 To run <B>MPlayer</B> you will need to re-compile the kernel with
|
|
|
393 "options USER_LDT" (unless you are running -CURRENT, where this is default).
|
|
|
394 If you have a CPU with SSE also use "options CPU_ENABLE_SSE" to use it
|
|
|
395 (FreeBSD-STABLE required, or use kernel patches).
|
|
|
396
|
|
|
397 If <B>MPlayer</B> complains about "CD-ROM Device '/dev/cdrom' not found!" make a
|
|
|
398 symbolic link : ln -s /dev/(your_cdrom_device) /dev/cdrom
|
|
|
399
|
|
|
400 There's no DVD support for FreeBSD yet.

|
405
|
|
|
406 AVI file playback works best on Solaris x86, because you have the
|
|
|
407 option to use the win32 codecs on the x86 platform. On Solaris SPARC,
|
|
|
408 you'll find quite a few AVI files with non working video and/or
|
|
|
409 audio playback, because the video/audio codecs using the win32 DLLs
|
|
|
410 are not available. However, <B>DivX/OpenDivX</B> movies should work,
|
|
|
411 when using libavcodec.
|
|
|
412
|
|
|
413 To build the package you will need GNU make (gmake, /opt/sfw/gmake), native
|
|
|
414 Solaris make will not work. Typical error you get when building with solaris'
|
|
|
415 make instead of GNU make:
|
|
|
416
|
|
|
417
|
|
|
418 % /usr/ccs/bin/make
|
|

|
|
|
420
|
|
|
421
|
|
|
422 On Solaris SPARC, you need the GNU C/C++ Compiler; it does not matter
|
|
|
423 if GNU C/C++ compiler is configured with or without the GNU assembler.
|
|
|
424
|
|
|
425 On Solaris x86, you need the GNU assembler and the GNU C/C++
|
|
|
426 compiler, configured to use the GNU assembler! The mplayer code on
|
|
|
427 the x86 platform makes heavy use of MMX, SSE and 3DNOW!
|
|
|
428 instructions that cannot be compiled using Sun's assembler
|
|
|
429 /usr/ccs/bin/as.
|
|
|
430
|
|
|
431 The configure script tries to find out, which assembler program is
|
|
|
432 used by your "gcc" command (in case the autodetection fails, use
|
|
|
433 the "--as=/whereever/you/have/installed/gnu-as" option to tell the
|
|
|
434 configure script where it can find GNU "as" on your system).
|
|
|
435
|
|
|
436 Error message from configure on a Solaris x86 system using GCC

444 (Solution: Install and use a gcc configured with "--with-as=gas")
|

463 Due to two bugs in solaris 8 x86, you cannot reliably play DVDs using a
|
|
|
464 capacity >4GB:
|
|
|
465
|
|
|
466 - The sd(7D) driver on solaris 8 x86 driver has bug when accessing a
|
|
|
467 disk block >4GB on a device using a logical blocksize != DEV_BSIZE
|
|
|
468 (i.e. CDROM and DVD media). Due to a 32bit int overflow, a disk
|
|
|
469 address modulo 4GB is accessed.

|
|
470 (http://groups.yahoo.com/group/solarisonintel/message/22516)
|
|
|
471
|
|

472 - The similar bug is present in the hsfs(7FS) filesystem code (aka
|
