119 | |
120 <P><B><A NAME=1.1>1.1. Overview</A></B></P> | |
121 | |
1731 | 122 <P><B>MPlayer</B> is a movie player for LINUX (runs on many other Unices, and |
123 <B>non-x86</B> CPUs, see <A HREF="#6">section 6</A>). It plays most MPEG, AVI | |
2153 | 124 and ASF/WMV files (also some QT/MOV files, with CVID, VP31 video, and raw |
125 audio), supported by many native and Win32 DLL codecs. You can watch | |
1987 | 126 <B>VideoCD</B>, <B>SVCD</B>, <B>DVD</B> and even <B>DivX</B> movies too (and |
127 you don't need the avifile library at all!). The another big feature of mplayer | |
128 is the wide range of supported output drivers. It works with X11, Xv, DGA, | |
129 OpenGL, SVGAlib, fbdev, AAlib, but you can use SDL (and this way all drivers of | |
2048 | 130 SDL) and some lowlevel card-specific drivers (for Matrox, 3Dfx and Radeon) too! |
131 Most of them supports software or hardware scaling, so you can enjoy movies in | |
2210 | 132 fullscreen. And what about the nice big antialiased shaded subtitles (<B>8 |
133 supported types!!!</B>) with european/ISO 8859-1,2 (hungarian, english, czech, etc), cyrillic, | |
2062 | 134 korean fonts, and OSD?</P> |
1612 | 135 |
2138 | 136 <P><B>MPlayer</B> is basically GPL, but contains some non-GPL code which is not |
137 allowed to be distributed in binary form, and also contains the OpenDivX | |
138 library which has special license.</P> | |
1859 | 139 |
1682 | 140 <P>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.</P> | |
1612 | 149 |
1682 | 150 <P><B><A NAME=1.2>1.2. History</A></B></P> |
1612 | 151 |
1682 | 152 <P>This began a year ago... |
153 I've tried lots of players under linux (mtv,xmps,dvdview,livid/oms,VideoLAN, | |
154 xine,xanim,avifile,xmmp) but they all have some problem. Mostly with special | |
155 files or with audio/video sync. Most of them is unable to play both MPEG1, | |
156 MPEG2 and AVI (DivX) files. Many players have image quality or speed problems | |
157 too. So I've decided to write/modify one...</P> | |
1612 | 158 |
1682 | 159 <P><UL> |
160 <LI><B>mpg12play v0.1-v0.3:</B><BR> | |
1612 | 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. | |
1682 | 164 <LI><B>mpg12play v0.5-v0.87:</B><BR> |
1612 | 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++!!!) | |
1682 | 167 <LI><B>mpg12play v0.9-v0.95pre5:</B><BR> |
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. | |
1682 | 171 <LI><B>MPlayer v0.3-v0.9:</B><BR> |
1612 | 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. | |
1682 | 174 <LI><B>MPlayer v0.10:</B><BR> |
1612 | 175 The MPEG and AVI player in a single binary! |
1682 | 176 <LI><B>MPlayer v0.11:</B><BR> |
1612 | 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. | |
1682 | 179 <LI><B>MPlayer v0.17 "The IdegCounter"</B><BR> |
1612 | 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. | |
2002 | 183 <LI><B>MPlayer 0.18 "The BugCounter"</B><BR> |
1612 | 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 ! | |
2210 | 187 <LI><B>MPlayer 0.50 "The Faszom(C)ounter"</B><BR> |
2002 | 188 Hmm. Release again. Tons of new features, beta GUI version, bugs fixed, |
189 new vo and ao drivers, ported to many systems, including opensource DivX | |
190 codecs and much more. Try it! | |
191 | |

1612 | 193 |
1682 | 194 <P><B><A NAME=1.3>1.3. Installation</A></B></P> |
1612 | 195 |
1748 | 196 <P>You'll need the following packages and versions if you don't want to |
197 experience any problems:<BR> | |
198 <UL> | |
199 <LI><B>binutils</B> - suggested version is <B>2.11.x</B> . This program is | |
200 responsible for generating MMX/3DNow!/etc instructions, thus very important.</LI> | |
201 <LI><B>gcc</B> - suggested version is from <B>2.95.2</B> to <B>2.95.4</B>. | |
202 <B>NEVER</B> use 2.96 or 3.x.x !!! They generate faulty code.</LI> | |
203 <LI><B>XFree86</B> - suggested version is <B>always the newest (4.1.0)</B>. Normally | |
204 everyone wants this. If you don't know why, you <B>do</B> need it.</LI> | |
205 <LI><B>make</B> - suggested version is <B>always the newest</B> (at least 3.79.x). This | |
206 usually isn't important.</LI> | |
1987 | 207 <LI><B>SDL</B> - it's not mandatory, but can help in some cases. Always |
208 use the newest (beginning from 1.2.x).</LI> | |
1748 | 209 </UL> |
210 </P> | |
211 | |
212 <P>Read the following before trying to compile <B>MPlayer</B>:</P> | |
213 | |
1703 | 214 <UL> |
215 <LI>If you plan to use <B>MPlayer</B> on x86 architecture, you possibly want to use | |
1682 | 216 Win32 codecs. Download and unzip w32codecs.zip to /usr/lib/win32 . |
217 Note: the avifile project has similar codecs package, but it differs | |
1731 | 218 from ours, so if you want to use all supported codecs, then use |
1703 | 219 our package! However, you can use our codecs package with avifile.</LI> |
1682 | 220 |
2051 | 221 <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 | 222 section in order to gain big speedup. It is important to do these steps |
1748 | 223 <I>before</I> compiling <B>MPlayer</B>, otherwise no Matrox-specific support will be |
1703 | 224 built.</LI> |
1682 | 225 |
2048 | 226 <LI>If you own a 3Dfx card (which models?), then please see the <A |
227 HREF="video.html#2.2.1.9">2.2.1.9</A> section in order to gain big speedup. It | |
228 is important to do these steps <I>before</I> compiling <B>MPlayer</B>, | |
229 otherwise no 3Dfx support will be built.</LI> | |
230 | |
1703 | 231 <LI>If you plan to use the ProjectMayo's <B>DivX4</B> codec, check the |
1731 | 232 <A HREF="codecs.html#2.1.2.1">2.1.2.1</A> section before compiling. |
233 This codec can play <B>DivX</B> movies much faster than the Win32 DLL, and | |
234 <B>ffmpeg</B>. It's closed-source, and only an x86 version is available.</LI> | |
235 | |
236 <LI>If you plan to use ffmpeg's <B>libavcodec</B>, check the | |
237 <A HREF="codecs.html#2.1.2.2">2.1.2.2</A> section before compiling. | |
238 You'll need this to gain <B>DivX</B> playing on non-x86 machines, or want to | |
239 gain bigger speed than the Win32 codec does.</LI> | |
1703 | 240 |
2001 | 241 <LI>For DVD support, you'll have to compile libdvdread and libdvdcss. |
1703 | 242 See <A HREF="cd-dvd.html#4.2">section 4.2</A> for more information.</LI> |
2062 | 243 |
244 <LI>Decide if you need GUI. If you do, see the <A HREF=#1.4>1.4 section</A> | |
245 before compiling.</LI> | |
1703 | 246 </UL> |
1612 | 247 |
1682 | 248 <P>Then build <B>MPlayer</B>:</P> |
249 | |
250 <PRE> ./configure | |
251 make | |
252 make install</PRE> | |
1612 | 253 |
1682 | 254 <P>It is recommended to browse the output of ./configure , it contains info |
255 about what will be built, and what won't. You may also want to view | |
256 config.h and config.mak files.</P> | |
1612 | 257 |
1682 | 258 <P>Though not mandatory, the fonts should be installed in order to gain |
2113 | 259 OSD, and subtitle functionality. Download mp-arial-iso-8859-*.zip and/or optional |
1987 | 260 (if exists) language updates. It's VERY RECOMMENDED to check |
261 <A HREF=#1.5>section 1.5</A> for details.</P> | |
1612 | 262 |
1682 | 263 <PRE> mkdir ~/.mplayer/font |
264 cd ~/.mplayer/font | |
2113 | 265 unzip mp-arial-iso-8859-1.zip</PRE> |
1612 | 266 |
1846 | 267 <P>Only one thing remains: copy the <B>codecs.conf</B> file from the <CODE>etc</CODE> |
268 directory (relative to the <B>MPlayer</B> tree) to $HOME/.mplayer/codecs.conf.</P> | |
269 | |
1612 | 270 |
1682 | 271 <P><B><A NAME=1.4>1.4. What about the GUI?</A></B></P> |
1612 | 272 |
2001 | 273 <P>The GUI is built upon GTK, so gtk (and it's devel stuff) has to be installed. |
2104 | 274 You can build it by specifying <CODE>--enable-gui</CODE> during ./configure . |
2001 | 275 Then, to turn on GUI mode, you either |
276 <UL> | |
277 <LI>use the <CODE>-gui</CODE> option</LI> | |
278 <LI>specify <CODE>gui=yes</CODE> in your config file</LI> | |
279 <LI><CODE>ln -s /usr/local/bin/mplayer /usr/local/bin/gmplayer</CODE> , | |
280 and call <CODE>gmplayer</CODE> instead. | |
281 </UL> | |
282 </P> | |
1612 | 283 |
2062 | 284 <P>As <B>MPlayer</B> doesn't have a skin included, you have to download them |
285 if you want to use the GUI. See the <A HREF="http://www.mplayerhq.hu/homepage/dload.html">download page</A>. | |
286 They should be extracted to the usual system-wide directory (<CODE>/usr/local/share/mplayer/Skin</CODE>), | |
287 or to <CODE>$HOME/.mplayer/Skin</CODE> . <B>MPlayer</B> by default looks in | |
288 these directories for a <I>default</I> named directory, but you can use the | |
289 <I>-skin newskin</I> option, or the <I>skin=newskin</I> config file | |
290 directive to use the skin in <CODE>*/Skin/newskin</CODE> directory.</P> | |
291 | |
1714 | 292 <P><B><A NAME=1.5>1.5. Subtitles and OSD</A></B></P> |
293 | |
294 <P>Yes, <B>MPlayer</B> also supports many kinds of subtitles. Currently | |
2210 | 295 8 kinds of subtitle can be used by the subreader code. To see what are |
296 these subtitle formats, see subreader.c, line ~30.</P> | |
297 | |
298 <P><B>MPlayer</B> introduces a new subtitle format called <B><I>MPsub</I></B>. | |
299 It was designed by me (Gabucino). Basically its main feature is being | |
300 <I>dynamically</I> time-based (although it has frame-based mode too). Example (from | |
301 <A HREF="http://www.mplayerhq.hu/DOCS/tech/mpsub.sub">DOCS/tech/mpsub.sub</A>) : | |
302 </P> | |
303 | |
304 <P><CODE><I> | |
305 # first number : wait this much after previous subtitle disappeared<BR> | |
306 # second number : display the current subtitle for this many seconds<BR> | |
307 <BR> | |
308 15 3<BR> | |
309 A long, long time ago...<BR> | |
310 <BR> | |
311 0 3<BR> | |
312 in a galaxy far away...<BR> | |
313 <BR> | |
314 0 3<BR> | |
315 Naboo was under an attack.<BR> | |
316 </I></CODE></P> | |
317 | |
318 <P>So you see, the main goal was to <B>make subtitle editing/timing/joining/cutting easy</B>. And, | |
319 if you - say - get an SSA subtitle but it's badly timed/delayed to your | |
320 version of the movie, you simply do a <I>mplayer dummy.avi -sub source.ssa | |
321 -dumpmpsub</I> . A <CODE>dump.mpsub</CODE> file will be created in the | |
322 current directory, which will contain the source subtitle's text, but in | |
323 <B>MPsub</B> format. Then you can freely add/substract seconds to/from the | |
324 subtitle.</P> | |
1714 | 325 |
326 <P>Subtitles are displayed with a technique called <B>'OSD', On Screen Display</B>. | |
327 OSD is used to display current time, volume bar, seek bar etc.</P> | |
328 | |
329 <P><B>INSTALLING OSD and SUB</B></P> | |
330 | |
331 <P>You need an <B>MPlayer</B> font package to be able to use OSD/SUB feature. | |
332 There are many ways to get it: | |
333 <UL> | |
334 | |
335 <LI>download ready-to-use font packages from <B>MPlayer</B> site. | |
336 Note: currently available fonts are limited for iso 8859-1/2 support, | |
337 and there are a few special versions for korean, russian etc codepages. | |
338 Font should have appropriate font.desc file which maps unicode font | |
339 positions to the actual code page of the subtitles text. Other solution | |
340 is to have subtitles encoded in utf8 encoding and use -utf8 option | |
341 or just name the subtitles file <video_name>.utf and have it in the same | |
342 dir as the video file. Recoding from different codepages to utf8 could be | |
343 done by using konwert (debian) or iconv (RedHat) programs.<BR> | |
344 Some URLs: | |

351 <LI>use the font generator tool at TOOLS/subfont-c | |
352 It's a complete tool to convert from TTF/Type1/etc font to mplayer font pkg. | |
353 (read TOOLS/subfont-c/README for details) | |
354 | |
355 <LI>use the font generator GIMP plugin at TOOLS/subfont-GIMP | |
356 (note: you must have HSI RAW plugin too, see URL below) | |
357 </UL> | |
1714 | 358 </P> |
1987 | 359 |
1714 | 360 <P>After that, UNZIP the files to ~/.mplayer/font/ . |
1731 | 361 Now you have to see a timer at the upper left corner of the movie |
1714 | 362 (switch it off with 'o') .</P> |
363 | |
364 <P>OSD has 3 states: (switch with 'o')<BR> | |
365 <UL> | |
1731 | 366 <LI>timer + volume bar + seek bar + subtitles (default) |
1714 | 367 <LI>volume bar + seek bar + subtitles |
368 <LI>subtitles only | |

1748 | 559 extensions (equivalent to MMX), currently only in <I>libmpeg2</I>, |
560 <I>libvo</I> and <I>libavcodec</I>, but not in mp3lib. You can watch a VOB file | |
561 on a 400Mhz CPU. You'll need <A | |

1731 | 563 |
1682 | 564 <P>To build the package you will need GNU make (gmake, /opt/sfw/gmake), native |
565 Solaris make will not work. Typical error you get when building with solaris' | |

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

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

630 <P>VIS accelerated operations from mediaLib are used for mpeg2 video | |
631 decoding and for color space conversion in the video output drivers.</P> | |

1033 Workaround: ./configure --disable-fastmemcpy<BR> | |
1034 SOLVED: disabled SSE code in fastmemcpy.h ;(</LI> | |
1035 | |
1036 <LI>No image (black image) in RGB 15/16bpp (x11,dga,fbdev,svga) playing | |
1037 MPEG or OpenDivX files:<BR> | |
1038 Problem: gcc 2.96 bug<BR> | |
1039 Workaround: ./configure --disable-mmx, or use gcc 2.95.x<BR> | |
1987 | 1040 SOLVED: code fixed</LI> |
1748 | 1041 |
1042 <LI>SIGILL (signal 4) or other fault at loading l3codeca.acm:<BR> | |
1043 Problem: shared libs are loaded to 0x00xxxxxx instead of 0x40xxxxxx<BR> | |
1044 Workaround: mplayer -afm 1 ...<BR> | |
1045 SOLVED: you are using some security kernel patch, like OpenWall etc.</LI> | |
1046 | |
1047 <LI>SIGILL (signal 4) on P3 using 2.2.x kernels:<BR> | |
1048 Problem: kernel 2.2.x doesn't have proper (working) SSE support<BR> | |
1049 Solution: upgrade kernel to 2.4.x<BR> | |
2005 | 1050 Workaround: ./configure --disable-sse</LI> |
1748 | 1051 |
1052 <LI>General SIGILL (signal 4):<BR> | |
1053 Problem: you compiled and run mplayer in different machines | |
1054 (for example compiled on P3 and running on celeron)<BR> | |
1055 Solution: compile MPlayer on the same machine where you will use it!<BR> | |
2005 | 1056 Workaround: ./configure --disable-sse etc. options</LI> |

1061 General audio delay or jerky sound (exists with all or many files):<BR> | |
1062 <UL> | |
1063 <LI>audio buffer problems (buffer size badly detected)<BR> | |
1064 Workaround: mplayer -abs option</LI> | |
1065 <LI>slow machine (cpu or vga)<BR> | |
1066 try with -vo null, if it plays well, then you have slow VGA card/driver<BR> | |
1067 Workaround: buy a faster card or read this documentation about how to speed up<BR> | |
1068 SOLVED: try -framedrop</LI> | |
1069 </UL><BR> | |

1075 -mc 0 (required for files with badly interleaved VBR audio)<BR> | |
1748 | 1076 -delay option or +/- keys at runtime to adjust delay</LI> |
1077 <LI>your soundcard doesn't support 48Khz playback<BR> | |
1078 Workaround: buy a better soundcard... or try to decrease fps by 10% (use -fps 27 for a 30fps movie)</LI> | |
1079 <LI>slow machine<BR> | |
1080 (if A-V is not around 0, and the last number in the status line increasing)<BR> | |
1081 Workaround: -framedrop</LI> | |
1082 </UL><BR> | |
1083 | |

1088 </UL> | |
1089 | |
1090 <P>Video-out problems:</P> | |
1091 | |
1092 <P>First note: options -fs -vm and -zoom are just recommendations, not (yet) | |
1093 supported by all drivers. So it isn't a bug if it doesn't work. | |
1094 Only a few driver supports scaling/zooming, don't expect this from x11 or dga.</P> | |
1095 | |
1096 <P>OSD/sub flickering:<BR> | |
1097 - x11 driver: sorry, it can't be fixed now<BR> | |
