| 119 <P><B><A NAME=1.1>1.1. Overview</A></B></P> | |
| 120 | |
| 1731 | 121 <P><B>MPlayer</B> is a movie player for LINUX (runs on many other Unices, and |
| 122 <B>non-x86</B> CPUs, see <A HREF="#6">section 6</A>). It plays most MPEG, AVI | |
| 2153 | 123 and ASF/WMV files (also some QT/MOV files, with CVID, VP31 video, and raw |
| 124 audio), supported by many native and Win32 DLL codecs. You can watch | |
| 1987 | 125 <B>VideoCD</B>, <B>SVCD</B>, <B>DVD</B> and even <B>DivX</B> movies too (and |
| 126 you don't need the avifile library at all!). The another big feature of mplayer | |
| 127 is the wide range of supported output drivers. It works with X11, Xv, DGA, | |
| 128 OpenGL, SVGAlib, fbdev, AAlib, but you can use SDL (and this way all drivers of | |
| 2048 | 129 SDL) and some lowlevel card-specific drivers (for Matrox, 3Dfx and Radeon) too! |
| 130 Most of them supports software or hardware scaling, so you can enjoy movies in | |
| 2210 | 131 fullscreen. And what about the nice big antialiased shaded subtitles (<B>8 |
| 132 supported types!!!</B>) with european/ISO 8859-1,2 (hungarian, english, czech, etc), cyrillic, | |
| 2062 | 133 korean fonts, and OSD?</P> |
| 1612 | 134 |
| 2138 | 135 <P><B>MPlayer</B> is basically GPL, but contains some non-GPL code which is not |
| 136 allowed to be distributed in binary form, and also contains the OpenDivX | |
| 137 library which has special license.</P> | |
| 1859 | 138 |
| 1682 | 139 <P>I didn't write any codecs, just some players. I spent |
| 140 a lot of time finding the best way to parse bad damaged input files | |
| 141 (both MPEG and AVI) and to do perfect A-V sync with seeking ability. | |
| 142 My player is rock solid playing damaged MPEG files (useful for some VCDs), | |
| 143 and it plays bad AVI files which are unplayable with the famous | |
| 144 windows media player. Even AVI files without index chunk are playable, and | |
| 145 you can rebuild their indexes with the -idx option, thus enabling seeking! | |
| 146 As you see, stability and quality are the most important things for me, | |
| 147 but the speed is also amazing.</P> | |
| 1612 | 148 |
| 1682 | 149 <P><B><A NAME=1.2>1.2. History</A></B></P> |
| 1612 | 150 |
| 1682 | 151 <P>This began a year ago... |
| 152 I've tried lots of players under linux (mtv,xmps,dvdview,livid/oms,VideoLAN, | |
| 153 xine,xanim,avifile,xmmp) but they all have some problem. Mostly with special | |
| 154 files or with audio/video sync. Most of them is unable to play both MPEG1, | |
| 155 MPEG2 and AVI (DivX) files. Many players have image quality or speed problems | |
| 156 too. So I've decided to write/modify one...</P> | |
| 1612 | 157 |
| 1682 | 158 <P><UL> |
| 159 <LI><B>mpg12play v0.1-v0.3:</B><BR> | |
| 1612 | 160 The first try, hacked together in a half hour! |
| 161 I've used libmpeg3 from www.heroinewarrior.com up to the version 0.3, | |
| 162 but there were image quality and speed problems with it. | |
| 1682 | 163 <LI><B>mpg12play v0.5-v0.87:</B><BR> |
| 1612 | 164 Mpeg codec replaced with DVDview by Dirk Farin, it was a great stuff, |
| 165 but it was slow and was written in C++ (I hate C++!!!) | |
| 1682 | 166 <LI><B>mpg12play v0.9-v0.95pre5:</B><BR> |
| 167 Mpeg codec was libmpeg2 (mpeg2dec) by Aaron Holtzman & Michel Lespinasse. | |
| 1612 | 168 It's great, optimized very fast C code with perfect image quality and |
| 169 100% MPEG standard conformance. | |
| 1682 | 170 <LI><B>MPlayer v0.3-v0.9:</B><BR> |
| 1612 | 171 It was a pack of two programs: mpg12playv0.95pre6 and my new simple AVI |
| 172 player 'avip' based on avifile's Win32 DLL loader. | |
| 1682 | 173 <LI><B>MPlayer v0.10:</B><BR> |
| 1612 | 174 The MPEG and AVI player in a single binary! |
| 1682 | 175 <LI><B>MPlayer v0.11:</B><BR> |
| 1612 | 176 Some new developers joined and from 0.11 the mplayer project is a team-work! |
| 177 Added .ASF file support, and OpenDivX (see www.projectmayo.com) en/decoding. | |
| 1682 | 178 <LI><B>MPlayer v0.17 "The IdegCounter"</B><BR> |
| 1612 | 179 The release version of the 0.11pre after 4 months of heavy development! |
| 180 Try it, and be amazed! Thousands of new features added... and of course | |
| 181 old code was improved too, bugs removed etc. | |
| 2002 | 182 <LI><B>MPlayer 0.18 "The BugCounter"</B><BR> |
| 1612 | 183 2 months since 0.17 and here's a new release.. Completed ASF support, |
| 184 more subtitle formats, introduced libao (similar to libvo but to audio), | |
| 185 even more stable than ever, and so on. It's a MUST ! | |
| 2210 | 186 <LI><B>MPlayer 0.50 "The Faszom(C)ounter"</B><BR> |
| 2002 | 187 Hmm. Release again. Tons of new features, beta GUI version, bugs fixed, |
| 188 new vo and ao drivers, ported to many systems, including opensource DivX | |
| 189 codecs and much more. Try it! | |

| 1682 | 193 <P><B><A NAME=1.3>1.3. Installation</A></B></P> |
| 1612 | 194 |
| 1748 | 195 <P>You'll need the following packages and versions if you don't want to |
| 196 experience any problems:<BR> | |
| 197 <UL> | |
| 198 <LI><B>binutils</B> - suggested version is <B>2.11.x</B> . This program is | |
| 199 responsible for generating MMX/3DNow!/etc instructions, thus very important.</LI> | |
| 200 <LI><B>gcc</B> - suggested version is from <B>2.95.2</B> to <B>2.95.4</B>. | |
| 201 <B>NEVER</B> use 2.96 or 3.x.x !!! They generate faulty code.</LI> | |
| 202 <LI><B>XFree86</B> - suggested version is <B>always the newest (4.1.0)</B>. Normally | |
| 203 everyone wants this. If you don't know why, you <B>do</B> need it.</LI> | |
| 204 <LI><B>make</B> - suggested version is <B>always the newest</B> (at least 3.79.x). This | |
| 205 usually isn't important.</LI> | |
| 1987 | 206 <LI><B>SDL</B> - it's not mandatory, but can help in some cases. Always |
| 207 use the newest (beginning from 1.2.x).</LI> | |
| 1748 | 208 </UL> |
| 209 </P> | |
| 210 | |
| 211 <P>Read the following before trying to compile <B>MPlayer</B>:</P> | |
| 212 | |
| 1703 | 213 <UL> |
| 214 <LI>If you plan to use <B>MPlayer</B> on x86 architecture, you possibly want to use | |
| 1682 | 215 Win32 codecs. Download and unzip w32codecs.zip to /usr/lib/win32 . |
| 216 Note: the avifile project has similar codecs package, but it differs | |
| 1731 | 217 from ours, so if you want to use all supported codecs, then use |
| 1703 | 218 our package! However, you can use our codecs package with avifile.</LI> |
| 1682 | 219 |
| 2051 | 220 <LI>If you own a Matrox G200/G400/G450/G550 card, then please see the <A HREF="video.html#2.2.1.7">2.2.1.7</A> |
| 1682 | 221 section in order to gain big speedup. It is important to do these steps |
| 1748 | 222 <I>before</I> compiling <B>MPlayer</B>, otherwise no Matrox-specific support will be |
| 1703 | 223 built.</LI> |
| 1682 | 224 |
| 2048 | 225 <LI>If you own a 3Dfx card (which models?), then please see the <A |
| 226 HREF="video.html#2.2.1.9">2.2.1.9</A> section in order to gain big speedup. It | |
| 227 is important to do these steps <I>before</I> compiling <B>MPlayer</B>, | |
| 228 otherwise no 3Dfx support will be built.</LI> | |
| 229 | |
| 1703 | 230 <LI>If you plan to use the ProjectMayo's <B>DivX4</B> codec, check the |
| 1731 | 231 <A HREF="codecs.html#2.1.2.1">2.1.2.1</A> section before compiling. |
| 232 This codec can play <B>DivX</B> movies much faster than the Win32 DLL, and | |
| 233 <B>ffmpeg</B>. It's closed-source, and only an x86 version is available.</LI> | |
| 234 | |
| 235 <LI>If you plan to use ffmpeg's <B>libavcodec</B>, check the | |
| 236 <A HREF="codecs.html#2.1.2.2">2.1.2.2</A> section before compiling. | |
| 237 You'll need this to gain <B>DivX</B> playing on non-x86 machines, or want to | |
| 238 gain bigger speed than the Win32 codec does.</LI> | |
| 1703 | 239 |
| 2001 | 240 <LI>For DVD support, you'll have to compile libdvdread and libdvdcss. |
| 1703 | 241 See <A HREF="cd-dvd.html#4.2">section 4.2</A> for more information.</LI> |
| 2062 | 242 |
| 243 <LI>Decide if you need GUI. If you do, see the <A HREF=#1.4>1.4 section</A> | |
| 244 before compiling.</LI> | |
| 1703 | 245 </UL> |
| 1612 | 246 |
| 1682 | 247 <P>Then build <B>MPlayer</B>:</P> |
| 248 | |
| 249 <PRE> ./configure | |
| 250 make | |
| 251 make install</PRE> | |
| 1612 | 252 |
| 1682 | 253 <P>It is recommended to browse the output of ./configure , it contains info |
| 254 about what will be built, and what won't. You may also want to view | |
| 255 config.h and config.mak files.</P> | |
| 1612 | 256 |
| 1682 | 257 <P>Though not mandatory, the fonts should be installed in order to gain |
| 2113 | 258 OSD, and subtitle functionality. Download mp-arial-iso-8859-*.zip and/or optional |
| 1987 | 259 (if exists) language updates. It's VERY RECOMMENDED to check |
| 260 <A HREF=#1.5>section 1.5</A> for details.</P> | |
| 1612 | 261 |
| 1682 | 262 <PRE> mkdir ~/.mplayer/font |
| 263 cd ~/.mplayer/font | |
| 2113 | 264 unzip mp-arial-iso-8859-1.zip</PRE> |
| 1612 | 265 |
| 1846 | 266 <P>Only one thing remains: copy the <B>codecs.conf</B> file from the <CODE>etc</CODE> |
| 267 directory (relative to the <B>MPlayer</B> tree) to $HOME/.mplayer/codecs.conf.</P> | |
| 268 | |
| 1612 | 269 |
| 1682 | 270 <P><B><A NAME=1.4>1.4. What about the GUI?</A></B></P> |
| 1612 | 271 |
| 2001 | 272 <P>The GUI is built upon GTK, so gtk (and it's devel stuff) has to be installed. |
| 2104 | 273 You can build it by specifying <CODE>--enable-gui</CODE> during ./configure . |
| 2001 | 274 Then, to turn on GUI mode, you either |
| 275 <UL> | |
| 276 <LI>use the <CODE>-gui</CODE> option</LI> | |
| 277 <LI>specify <CODE>gui=yes</CODE> in your config file</LI> | |
| 278 <LI><CODE>ln -s /usr/local/bin/mplayer /usr/local/bin/gmplayer</CODE> , | |
| 279 and call <CODE>gmplayer</CODE> instead. | |
| 280 </UL> | |
| 281 </P> | |
| 1612 | 282 |
| 2062 | 283 <P>As <B>MPlayer</B> doesn't have a skin included, you have to download them |
| 284 if you want to use the GUI. See the <A HREF="http://www.mplayerhq.hu/homepage/dload.html">download page</A>. | |
| 285 They should be extracted to the usual system-wide directory (<CODE>/usr/local/share/mplayer/Skin</CODE>), | |
| 286 or to <CODE>$HOME/.mplayer/Skin</CODE> . <B>MPlayer</B> by default looks in | |
| 287 these directories for a <I>default</I> named directory, but you can use the | |
| 288 <I>-skin newskin</I> option, or the <I>skin=newskin</I> config file | |
| 289 directive to use the skin in <CODE>*/Skin/newskin</CODE> directory.</P> | |

| 1714 | 291 <P><B><A NAME=1.5>1.5. Subtitles and OSD</A></B></P> |
| 292 | |
| 293 <P>Yes, <B>MPlayer</B> also supports many kinds of subtitles. Currently | |
| 2210 | 294 8 kinds of subtitle can be used by the subreader code. To see what are |
| 295 these subtitle formats, see subreader.c, line ~30.</P> | |
| 296 | |
| 297 <P><B>MPlayer</B> introduces a new subtitle format called <B><I>MPsub</I></B>. | |
| 298 It was designed by me (Gabucino). Basically its main feature is being | |
| 299 <I>dynamically</I> time-based (although it has frame-based mode too). Example (from | |
| 300 <A HREF="http://www.mplayerhq.hu/DOCS/tech/mpsub.sub">DOCS/tech/mpsub.sub</A>) : | |
| 301 </P> | |
| 302 | |
| 303 <P><CODE><I> | |
| 304 # first number : wait this much after previous subtitle disappeared<BR> | |
| 305 # second number : display the current subtitle for this many seconds<BR> | |
| 306 <BR> | |
| 307 15 3<BR> | |
| 308 A long, long time ago...<BR> | |
| 309 <BR> | |
| 310 0 3<BR> | |
| 311 in a galaxy far away...<BR> | |
| 312 <BR> | |
| 313 0 3<BR> | |
| 314 Naboo was under an attack.<BR> | |
| 315 </I></CODE></P> | |
| 316 | |
| 317 <P>So you see, the main goal was to <B>make subtitle editing/timing/joining/cutting easy</B>. And, | |
| 318 if you - say - get an SSA subtitle but it's badly timed/delayed to your | |
| 319 version of the movie, you simply do a <I>mplayer dummy.avi -sub source.ssa | |
| 320 -dumpmpsub</I> . A <CODE>dump.mpsub</CODE> file will be created in the | |
| 321 current directory, which will contain the source subtitle's text, but in | |
| 322 <B>MPsub</B> format. Then you can freely add/substract seconds to/from the | |
| 323 subtitle.</P> | |
| 1714 | 324 |
| 325 <P>Subtitles are displayed with a technique called <B>'OSD', On Screen Display</B>. | |
| 326 OSD is used to display current time, volume bar, seek bar etc.</P> | |
| 327 | |
| 328 <P><B>INSTALLING OSD and SUB</B></P> | |
| 329 | |
| 330 <P>You need an <B>MPlayer</B> font package to be able to use OSD/SUB feature. | |
| 331 There are many ways to get it: | |
| 332 <UL> | |
| 333 | |
| 334 <LI>download ready-to-use font packages from <B>MPlayer</B> site. | |
| 335 Note: currently available fonts are limited for iso 8859-1/2 support, | |
| 336 and there are a few special versions for korean, russian etc codepages. | |
| 337 Font should have appropriate font.desc file which maps unicode font | |
| 338 positions to the actual code page of the subtitles text. Other solution | |
| 339 is to have subtitles encoded in utf8 encoding and use -utf8 option | |
| 340 or just name the subtitles file <video_name>.utf and have it in the same | |
| 341 dir as the video file. Recoding from different codepages to utf8 could be | |
| 342 done by using konwert (debian) or iconv (RedHat) programs.<BR> | |

| 537 If you have a CPU with SSE also use "options CPU_ENABLE_SSE" to use it | |
| 538 (FreeBSD-STABLE required, or use kernel patches).</P> | |
| 1612 | 539 |
| 1682 | 540 <P>If <B>MPlayer</B> complains about "CD-ROM Device '/dev/cdrom' not found!" make a |
| 541 symbolic link: <CODE>ln -s /dev/(your_cdrom_device) /dev/cdrom</CODE></P> | |
| 1612 | 542 |
| 1987 | 543 <P>There's no DVD support for FreeBSD yet.</P> |

| 547 <P>MPlayer should work on Solaris 2.6 or newer.</P> | |
| 1612 | 548 |
| 1682 | 549 <P>AVI file playback works best on Solaris x86, because you have the |
| 1731 | 550 option to use the win32 codecs on the x86 platform, or can use MMX/MMX2/3DNow/etc |
| 551 instructions for MP3/DivX/DVD/whatever. On Solaris SPARC, | |
| 1682 | 552 you'll find quite a few AVI files with non working video and/or |
| 1731 | 553 audio playback, because the video/audio codecs using the Win32 DLLs |
| 1682 | 554 are not available. However, <B>DivX/OpenDivX</B> movies should work, |
| 555 when using libavcodec.</P> | |
| 1612 | 556 |
| 1731 | 557 <P>On <B>UltraSPARC</B>s, <B>MPlayer</B> takes advantage of their <B>VIS</B> |
| 1748 | 558 extensions (equivalent to MMX), currently only in <I>libmpeg2</I>, |
| 559 <I>libvo</I> and <I>libavcodec</I>, but not in mp3lib. You can watch a VOB file | |
| 560 on a 400Mhz CPU. You'll need <A | |
| 561 HREF="http://www.sun.com/sparc/vis/mediaLib.html">mLib</A> installed.</P> | |
| 1731 | 562 |
| 1682 | 563 <P>To build the package you will need GNU make (gmake, /opt/sfw/gmake), native |
| 564 Solaris make will not work. Typical error you get when building with solaris' | |
| 565 make instead of GNU make:</P> | |
| 1612 | 566 |

| 1612 | 569 |
| 1682 | 570 <P>On Solaris SPARC, you need the GNU C/C++ Compiler; it does not matter |
| 571 if GNU C/C++ compiler is configured with or without the GNU assembler.</P> | |
| 1612 | 572 |
| 1682 | 573 <P>On Solaris x86, you need the GNU assembler and the GNU C/C++ |
| 574 compiler, configured to use the GNU assembler! The mplayer code on | |
| 575 the x86 platform makes heavy use of MMX, SSE and 3DNOW! | |
| 576 instructions that cannot be compiled using Sun's assembler | |
| 577 <CODE>/usr/ccs/bin/as</CODE>.</P> | |
| 1612 | 578 |
| 1682 | 579 <P>The configure script tries to find out, which assembler program is |
| 580 used by your "gcc" command (in case the autodetection fails, use | |
| 581 the "--as=/whereever/you/have/installed/gnu-as" option to tell the | |
| 582 configure script where it can find GNU "as" on your system).</P> | |
| 1612 | 583 |
| 1682 | 584 <P>Error message from configure on a Solaris x86 system using GCC |
| 585 without GNU assembler:</P> | |

| 1688 | 624 <P>On Solaris with an UltraSPARC CPU, you can get some extra speed by |
| 625 using the CPU's VIS instructions for certain time consuming operations. | |
| 626 VIS acceleration can be used in MPlayer by calling functions in Sun's | |
| 627 <A HREF="http://www.sun.com/sparc/vis/mediaLib.html">mediaLib</A>.</P> | |
| 628 | |

| 1035 MPEG or OpenDivX files:<BR> | |
| 1036 Problem: gcc 2.96 bug<BR> | |
| 1037 Workaround: ./configure --disable-mmx, or use gcc 2.95.x<BR> | |
| 1987 | 1038 SOLVED: code fixed</LI> |
| 1748 | 1039 |
| 1040 <LI>SIGILL (signal 4) or other fault at loading l3codeca.acm:<BR> | |

| 1042 Workaround: mplayer -afm 1 ...<BR> | |
| 1043 SOLVED: you are using some security kernel patch, like OpenWall etc.</LI> | |
| 1044 | |
| 1045 <LI>SIGILL (signal 4) on P3 using 2.2.x kernels:<BR> | |
| 1046 Problem: kernel 2.2.x doesn't have proper (working) SSE support<BR> | |
| 1047 Solution: upgrade kernel to 2.4.x<BR> | |
| 2005 | 1048 Workaround: ./configure --disable-sse</LI> |
| 1748 | 1049 |
| 1050 <LI>General SIGILL (signal 4):<BR> | |
| 1051 Problem: you compiled and run mplayer in different machines | |
| 1052 (for example compiled on P3 and running on celeron)<BR> | |
| 1053 Solution: compile MPlayer on the same machine where you will use it!<BR> | |
| 2005 | 1054 Workaround: ./configure --disable-sse etc. options</LI> |

| 1062 Workaround: mplayer -abs option</LI> | |
| 1063 <LI>slow machine (cpu or vga)<BR> | |
| 1064 try with -vo null, if it plays well, then you have slow VGA card/driver<BR> | |

| 1073 -mc 0 (required for files with badly interleaved VBR audio)<BR> | |
| 1748 | 1074 -delay option or +/- keys at runtime to adjust delay</LI> |
| 1075 <LI>your soundcard doesn't support 48Khz playback<BR> | |
| 1076 Workaround: buy a better soundcard... or try to decrease fps by 10% (use -fps 27 for a 30fps movie)</LI> | |
| 1077 <LI>slow machine<BR> | |
| 1078 (if A-V is not around 0, and the last number in the status line increasing)<BR> | |

| 1086 </UL> | |
| 1087 | |
| 1088 <P>Video-out problems:</P> | |
| 1089 | |
| 1090 <P>First note: options -fs -vm and -zoom are just recommendations, not (yet) | |
| 1091 supported by all drivers. So it isn't a bug if it doesn't work. | |
| 1092 Only a few driver supports scaling/zooming, don't expect this from x11 or dga.</P> | |
| 1093 | |
| 1094 <P>OSD/sub flickering:<BR> | |
| 1095 - x11 driver: sorry, it can't be fixed now<BR> | |
