| 107 | |
| 108 <P><B><A NAME=1.1>1.1. Overview</A></B></P> | |
| 109 | |
| 110 <P><B>MPlayer</B> is a movie player for LINUX. It plays most MPEG, AVI and ASF files, | |
| 111 supported by many native and Win32 DLL codecs. You can watch VCD, DVD and | |
| 112 even DivX movies too. The another big feature of mplayer is the wide range of | |
| 113 supported output drivers. It works with X11, Xv, DGA, OpenGL, SVGAlib, fbdev, | |
| 114 AAlib, but you can use SDL (and this way all drivers of SDL) and some | |
| 115 lowlevel card-specific drivers (for Matrox) too! Most of them supports | |
| 116 software or hardware scaling, so you can enjoy movies in fullscreen. And what | |
| 117 about the nice big antialiased shaded subtitles (7 supported types!!!) with | |
| 118 hungarian, english, cyrillic, czech, korean fonts, and OSD?</P> | |
| 1612 | 119 |
| 1682 | 120 <P>I didn't write any codecs, just some players. I spent |
| 121 a lot of time finding the best way to parse bad damaged input files | |
| 122 (both MPEG and AVI) and to do perfect A-V sync with seeking ability. | |
| 123 My player is rock solid playing damaged MPEG files (useful for some VCDs), | |
| 124 and it plays bad AVI files which are unplayable with the famous | |
| 125 windows media player. Even AVI files without index chunk are playable, and | |
| 126 you can rebuild their indexes with the -idx option, thus enabling seeking! | |
| 127 As you see, stability and quality are the most important things for me, | |
| 128 but the speed is also amazing.</P> | |
| 1612 | 129 |
| 1682 | 130 <P><B><A NAME=1.2>1.2. History</A></B></P> |
| 1612 | 131 |
| 1682 | 132 <P>This began a year ago... |
| 133 I've tried lots of players under linux (mtv,xmps,dvdview,livid/oms,VideoLAN, | |
| 134 xine,xanim,avifile,xmmp) but they all have some problem. Mostly with special | |
| 135 files or with audio/video sync. Most of them is unable to play both MPEG1, | |
| 136 MPEG2 and AVI (DivX) files. Many players have image quality or speed problems | |
| 137 too. So I've decided to write/modify one...</P> | |
| 1612 | 138 |
| 1682 | 139 <P><UL> |
| 140 <LI><B>mpg12play v0.1-v0.3:</B><BR> | |
| 1612 | 141 The first try, hacked together in a half hour! |
| 142 I've used libmpeg3 from www.heroinewarrior.com up to the version 0.3, | |
| 143 but there were image quality and speed problems with it. | |
| 1682 | 144 <LI><B>mpg12play v0.5-v0.87:</B><BR> |
| 1612 | 145 Mpeg codec replaced with DVDview by Dirk Farin, it was a great stuff, |
| 146 but it was slow and was written in C++ (I hate C++!!!) | |
| 1682 | 147 <LI><B>mpg12play v0.9-v0.95pre5:</B><BR> |
| 148 Mpeg codec was libmpeg2 (mpeg2dec) by Aaron Holtzman & Michel Lespinasse. | |
| 1612 | 149 It's great, optimized very fast C code with perfect image quality and |
| 150 100% MPEG standard conformance. | |
| 1682 | 151 <LI><B>MPlayer v0.3-v0.9:</B><BR> |
| 1612 | 152 It was a pack of two programs: mpg12playv0.95pre6 and my new simple AVI |
| 153 player 'avip' based on avifile's Win32 DLL loader. | |
| 1682 | 154 <LI><B>MPlayer v0.10:</B><BR> |
| 1612 | 155 The MPEG and AVI player in a single binary! |
| 1682 | 156 <LI><B>MPlayer v0.11:</B><BR> |
| 1612 | 157 Some new developers joined and from 0.11 the mplayer project is a team-work! |
| 158 Added .ASF file support, and OpenDivX (see www.projectmayo.com) en/decoding. | |
| 1682 | 159 <LI><B>MPlayer v0.17 "The IdegCounter"</B><BR> |
| 1612 | 160 The release version of the 0.11pre after 4 months of heavy development! |
| 161 Try it, and be amazed! Thousands of new features added... and of course | |
| 162 old code was improved too, bugs removed etc. | |
| 1682 | 163 <LI><B>MPlayer 0.18 "The BugCounter"</B><BR> |
| 1612 | 164 2 months since 0.17 and here's a new release.. Completed ASF support, |
| 165 more subtitle formats, introduced libao (similar to libvo but to audio), | |
| 166 even more stable than ever, and so on. It's a MUST ! | |
| 1682 | 167 </UL></P> |
| 1612 | 168 |
| 1682 | 169 <P><B><A NAME=1.3>1.3. Installation</A></B></P> |
| 1612 | 170 |
| 1703 | 171 <UL> |
| 172 <LI>If you plan to use <B>MPlayer</B> on x86 architecture, you possibly want to use | |
| 1682 | 173 Win32 codecs. Download and unzip w32codecs.zip to /usr/lib/win32 . |
| 174 Note: the avifile project has similar codecs package, but it differs | |
| 175 from our, so if you want to use all supported codecs, then use | |
| 1703 | 176 our package! However, you can use our codecs package with avifile.</LI> |
| 1682 | 177 |
| 1703 | 178 <LI>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> |
| 1682 | 179 section in order to gain big speedup. It is important to do these steps |
| 180 _before_ compiling <B>MPlayer</B>, otherwise no Matrox-specific support will be | |
| 1703 | 181 built.</LI> |
| 1682 | 182 |
| 1703 | 183 <LI>If you plan to use the ProjectMayo's <B>DivX4</B> codec, check the |
| 184 <A HREF="codecs.html#2.1.2.1">2.1.2.1</A> section before compiling.</LI> | |
| 185 | |
| 186 <LI>For DVD support, you'll have to compile libdvdread and libcss. | |
| 187 See <A HREF="cd-dvd.html#4.2">section 4.2</A> for more information.</LI> | |
| 188 </UL> | |
| 1612 | 189 |
| 1682 | 190 <P>Then build <B>MPlayer</B>:</P> |
| 191 | |
| 192 <PRE> ./configure | |
| 193 make | |
| 194 make install</PRE> | |
| 1612 | 195 |
| 1682 | 196 <P>It is recommended to browse the output of ./configure , it contains info |
| 197 about what will be built, and what won't. You may also want to view | |
| 198 config.h and config.mak files.</P> | |
| 1612 | 199 |
| 1682 | 200 <P>Though not mandatory, the fonts should be installed in order to gain |
| 201 OSD, and subtitle functionality. Download mp_font3.zip and optional | |
| 202 (if exists) language updates.</P> | |
| 1612 | 203 |
| 1682 | 204 <PRE> mkdir ~/.mplayer/font |
| 205 cd ~/.mplayer/font | |
| 206 unzip mp_font3.zip | |
| 207 unzip mp_font3_hu.zip</PRE> | |
| 1612 | 208 |
| 209 | |
| 1682 | 210 <P><B><A NAME=1.4>1.4. What about the GUI?</A></B></P> |
| 1612 | 211 |
| 1682 | 212 <P>I'm not a GUI programmer. I hate GUIs, I like the pure black 80x25 console. |
| 213 So the player has only keyboard control from the controlling console/xterm now. | |
| 214 There is a GUI development for the player, coordinated by Pontscho/Fresh! | |
| 215 It's still under development, but it will be merged and released real soon. | |
| 216 BTW he needs some nice skins, if you are a good graphician, contact him!!!</P> | |
| 1612 | 217 |
| 1714 | 218 <P><B><A NAME=1.5>1.5. Subtitles and OSD</A></B></P> |
| 219 | |
| 220 <P>Yes, <B>MPlayer</B> also supports many kinds of subtitles. Currently | |
| 221 7 kinds of subtitle can be used by the subreader code. To see what are | |
| 222 these subtitle formats, see subreader.c, line ~20.</P> | |
| 223 | |
| 224 <P>Subtitles are displayed with a technique called <B>'OSD', On Screen Display</B>. | |
| 225 OSD is used to display current time, volume bar, seek bar etc.</P> | |
| 226 | |
| 227 <P><B>INSTALLING OSD and SUB</B></P> | |
| 228 | |
| 229 <P>You need an <B>MPlayer</B> font package to be able to use OSD/SUB feature. | |
| 230 There are many ways to get it: | |
| 231 <UL> | |
| 232 | |
| 233 <LI>use the font generator tool at TOOLS/subfont-c | |
| 234 It's a complete tool to convert from TTF/Type1/etc font to mplayer font pkg. | |
| 235 (read TOOLS/subfont-c/README for details) | |
| 236 | |
| 237 <LI>use the font generator GIMP plugin at TOOLS/subfont-GIMP | |
| 238 (note: you must have HSI RAW plugin too, see URL below) | |
| 239 | |
| 240 <LI>download ready-to-use font packages from <B>MPlayer</B> site. | |
| 241 Note: currently available fonts are limited for iso 8859-1/2 support, | |
| 242 and there are a few special versions for korean, russian etc codepages. | |
| 243 You better build fonts yourself with the tool mentioned above. | |
| 244 Font should have appropriate font.desc file which maps unicode font | |
| 245 positions to the actual code page of the subtitles text. Other solution | |
| 246 is to have subtitles encoded in utf8 encoding and use -utf8 option | |
| 247 or just name the subtitles file <video_name>.utf and have it in the same | |
| 248 dir as the video file. Recoding from different codepages to utf8 could be | |
| 249 done by using konwert (debian) or iconv (RedHat) programs.<BR> | |
| 250 Some URLs: | |

| 257 <P>After that, UNZIP the files to ~/.mplayer/font/ . | |
| 258 Now you have to see a clock at the upper left corner of the movie | |
| 259 (switch it off with 'o') .</P> | |

| 1682 | 430 <P>AVI file playback works best on Solaris x86, because you have the |

| 433 audio playback, because the video/audio codecs using the win32 DLLs | |
| 434 are not available. However, <B>DivX/OpenDivX</B> movies should work, | |
| 435 when using libavcodec.</P> | |
| 1612 | 436 |

| 1612 | 446 |
| 1682 | 447 <P>On Solaris x86, you need the GNU assembler and the GNU C/C++ |
