115 | |
116 <P><B><A NAME=1.1>1.1. Overview</A></B></P> | |
117 | |
1731 | 118 <P><B>MPlayer</B> is a movie player for LINUX (runs on many other Unices, and |
119 <B>non-x86</B> CPUs, see <A HREF="#6">section 6</A>). It plays most MPEG, AVI | |
1987 | 120 and ASF/WMV files, supported by many native and Win32 DLL codecs. You can watch |
121 <B>VideoCD</B>, <B>SVCD</B>, <B>DVD</B> and even <B>DivX</B> movies too (and | |
122 you don't need the avifile library at all!). The another big feature of mplayer | |
123 is the wide range of supported output drivers. It works with X11, Xv, DGA, | |
124 OpenGL, SVGAlib, fbdev, AAlib, but you can use SDL (and this way all drivers of | |
125 SDL) and some lowlevel card-specific drivers (for Matrox) too! Most of them | |
126 supports software or hardware scaling, so you can enjoy movies in fullscreen. | |
127 And what about the nice big antialiased shaded subtitles (7 supported types!!!) | |
128 with hungarian, english, cyrillic, czech, korean fonts, and OSD?</P> | |
1612 | 129 |
1987 | 130 <P>MPlayer is distributable under the terms of the <A HREF="http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl.html">GNU GPL</A>, EXCEPT the OpenDivX code.</P> |
1859 | 131 |
1682 | 132 <P>I didn't write any codecs, just some players. I spent |
133 a lot of time finding the best way to parse bad damaged input files | |
134 (both MPEG and AVI) and to do perfect A-V sync with seeking ability. | |
135 My player is rock solid playing damaged MPEG files (useful for some VCDs), | |
136 and it plays bad AVI files which are unplayable with the famous | |
137 windows media player. Even AVI files without index chunk are playable, and | |
138 you can rebuild their indexes with the -idx option, thus enabling seeking! | |
139 As you see, stability and quality are the most important things for me, | |
140 but the speed is also amazing.</P> | |
1612 | 141 |
1682 | 142 <P><B><A NAME=1.2>1.2. History</A></B></P> |
1612 | 143 |
1682 | 144 <P>This began a year ago... |
145 I've tried lots of players under linux (mtv,xmps,dvdview,livid/oms,VideoLAN, | |
146 xine,xanim,avifile,xmmp) but they all have some problem. Mostly with special | |
147 files or with audio/video sync. Most of them is unable to play both MPEG1, | |
148 MPEG2 and AVI (DivX) files. Many players have image quality or speed problems | |
149 too. So I've decided to write/modify one...</P> | |
1612 | 150 |
1682 | 151 <P><UL> |
152 <LI><B>mpg12play v0.1-v0.3:</B><BR> | |
1612 | 153 The first try, hacked together in a half hour! |
154 I've used libmpeg3 from www.heroinewarrior.com up to the version 0.3, | |
155 but there were image quality and speed problems with it. | |
1682 | 156 <LI><B>mpg12play v0.5-v0.87:</B><BR> |
1612 | 157 Mpeg codec replaced with DVDview by Dirk Farin, it was a great stuff, |
158 but it was slow and was written in C++ (I hate C++!!!) | |
1682 | 159 <LI><B>mpg12play v0.9-v0.95pre5:</B><BR> |
160 Mpeg codec was libmpeg2 (mpeg2dec) by Aaron Holtzman & Michel Lespinasse. | |
1612 | 161 It's great, optimized very fast C code with perfect image quality and |
162 100% MPEG standard conformance. | |
1682 | 163 <LI><B>MPlayer v0.3-v0.9:</B><BR> |
1612 | 164 It was a pack of two programs: mpg12playv0.95pre6 and my new simple AVI |
165 player 'avip' based on avifile's Win32 DLL loader. | |
1682 | 166 <LI><B>MPlayer v0.10:</B><BR> |
1612 | 167 The MPEG and AVI player in a single binary! |
1682 | 168 <LI><B>MPlayer v0.11:</B><BR> |
1612 | 169 Some new developers joined and from 0.11 the mplayer project is a team-work! |
170 Added .ASF file support, and OpenDivX (see www.projectmayo.com) en/decoding. | |
1682 | 171 <LI><B>MPlayer v0.17 "The IdegCounter"</B><BR> |
1612 | 172 The release version of the 0.11pre after 4 months of heavy development! |
173 Try it, and be amazed! Thousands of new features added... and of course | |
174 old code was improved too, bugs removed etc. | |
1987 | 175 <LI><B>MPlayer 0.xx (TODO this evening!) "The BugCounter"</B><BR> |
1612 | 176 2 months since 0.17 and here's a new release.. Completed ASF support, |
177 more subtitle formats, introduced libao (similar to libvo but to audio), | |
178 even more stable than ever, and so on. It's a MUST ! | |
1682 | 179 </UL></P> |
1612 | 180 |
1682 | 181 <P><B><A NAME=1.3>1.3. Installation</A></B></P> |
1612 | 182 |
1748 | 183 <P>You'll need the following packages and versions if you don't want to |
184 experience any problems:<BR> | |
185 <UL> | |
186 <LI><B>binutils</B> - suggested version is <B>2.11.x</B> . This program is | |
187 responsible for generating MMX/3DNow!/etc instructions, thus very important.</LI> | |
188 <LI><B>gcc</B> - suggested version is from <B>2.95.2</B> to <B>2.95.4</B>. | |
189 <B>NEVER</B> use 2.96 or 3.x.x !!! They generate faulty code.</LI> | |
190 <LI><B>XFree86</B> - suggested version is <B>always the newest (4.1.0)</B>. Normally | |
191 everyone wants this. If you don't know why, you <B>do</B> need it.</LI> | |
192 <LI><B>make</B> - suggested version is <B>always the newest</B> (at least 3.79.x). This | |
193 usually isn't important.</LI> | |
1987 | 194 <LI><B>SDL</B> - it's not mandatory, but can help in some cases. Always |
195 use the newest (beginning from 1.2.x).</LI> | |
1748 | 196 </UL> |
197 </P> | |
198 | |
199 <P>Read the following before trying to compile <B>MPlayer</B>:</P> | |
200 | |
1703 | 201 <UL> |
202 <LI>If you plan to use <B>MPlayer</B> on x86 architecture, you possibly want to use | |
1682 | 203 Win32 codecs. Download and unzip w32codecs.zip to /usr/lib/win32 . |
204 Note: the avifile project has similar codecs package, but it differs | |
1731 | 205 from ours, so if you want to use all supported codecs, then use |
1703 | 206 our package! However, you can use our codecs package with avifile.</LI> |
1682 | 207 |
1703 | 208 <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 | 209 section in order to gain big speedup. It is important to do these steps |
1748 | 210 <I>before</I> compiling <B>MPlayer</B>, otherwise no Matrox-specific support will be |
1703 | 211 built.</LI> |
1682 | 212 |
1703 | 213 <LI>If you plan to use the ProjectMayo's <B>DivX4</B> codec, check the |
1731 | 214 <A HREF="codecs.html#2.1.2.1">2.1.2.1</A> section before compiling. |
215 This codec can play <B>DivX</B> movies much faster than the Win32 DLL, and | |
216 <B>ffmpeg</B>. It's closed-source, and only an x86 version is available.</LI> | |
217 | |
218 <LI>If you plan to use ffmpeg's <B>libavcodec</B>, check the | |
219 <A HREF="codecs.html#2.1.2.2">2.1.2.2</A> section before compiling. | |
220 You'll need this to gain <B>DivX</B> playing on non-x86 machines, or want to | |
221 gain bigger speed than the Win32 codec does.</LI> | |
1703 | 222 |
1879 | 223 <LI>For DVD support, you'll have to compile libdvdread and libcss. |
1703 | 224 See <A HREF="cd-dvd.html#4.2">section 4.2</A> for more information.</LI> |
225 </UL> | |
1612 | 226 |
1682 | 227 <P>Then build <B>MPlayer</B>:</P> |
228 | |
229 <PRE> ./configure | |
230 make | |
231 make install</PRE> | |
1612 | 232 |
1682 | 233 <P>It is recommended to browse the output of ./configure , it contains info |
234 about what will be built, and what won't. You may also want to view | |
235 config.h and config.mak files.</P> | |
1612 | 236 |
1682 | 237 <P>Though not mandatory, the fonts should be installed in order to gain |
238 OSD, and subtitle functionality. Download mp_font3.zip and optional | |
1987 | 239 (if exists) language updates. It's VERY RECOMMENDED to check |
240 <A HREF=#1.5>section 1.5</A> for details.</P> | |
1612 | 241 |
1682 | 242 <PRE> mkdir ~/.mplayer/font |
243 cd ~/.mplayer/font | |
244 unzip mp_font3.zip | |
245 unzip mp_font3_hu.zip</PRE> | |
1612 | 246 |
1846 | 247 <P>Only one thing remains: copy the <B>codecs.conf</B> file from the <CODE>etc</CODE> |
248 directory (relative to the <B>MPlayer</B> tree) to $HOME/.mplayer/codecs.conf.</P> | |
249 | |
1612 | 250 |
1682 | 251 <P><B><A NAME=1.4>1.4. What about the GUI?</A></B></P> |
1612 | 252 |
1987 | 253 <P>TODO</P> |
1612 | 254 |
1714 | 255 <P><B><A NAME=1.5>1.5. Subtitles and OSD</A></B></P> |
256 | |
257 <P>Yes, <B>MPlayer</B> also supports many kinds of subtitles. Currently | |
258 7 kinds of subtitle can be used by the subreader code. To see what are | |
259 these subtitle formats, see subreader.c, line ~20.</P> | |
260 | |
261 <P>Subtitles are displayed with a technique called <B>'OSD', On Screen Display</B>. | |
262 OSD is used to display current time, volume bar, seek bar etc.</P> | |
263 | |
264 <P><B>INSTALLING OSD and SUB</B></P> | |
265 | |
266 <P>You need an <B>MPlayer</B> font package to be able to use OSD/SUB feature. | |
267 There are many ways to get it: | |
268 <UL> | |
269 | |
270 <LI>download ready-to-use font packages from <B>MPlayer</B> site. | |
271 Note: currently available fonts are limited for iso 8859-1/2 support, | |
272 and there are a few special versions for korean, russian etc codepages. | |
273 Font should have appropriate font.desc file which maps unicode font | |
274 positions to the actual code page of the subtitles text. Other solution | |
275 is to have subtitles encoded in utf8 encoding and use -utf8 option | |
276 or just name the subtitles file <video_name>.utf and have it in the same | |
277 dir as the video file. Recoding from different codepages to utf8 could be | |
278 done by using konwert (debian) or iconv (RedHat) programs.<BR> | |

1612 | 482 |
1682 | 483 <P>AVI file playback works best on Solaris x86, because you have the |
1731 | 484 option to use the win32 codecs on the x86 platform, or can use MMX/MMX2/3DNow/etc |
485 instructions for MP3/DivX/DVD/whatever. On Solaris SPARC, | |
1682 | 486 you'll find quite a few AVI files with non working video and/or |
1731 | 487 audio playback, because the video/audio codecs using the Win32 DLLs |
1682 | 488 are not available. However, <B>DivX/OpenDivX</B> movies should work, |
489 when using libavcodec.</P> | |

493 <I>libvo</I> and <I>libavcodec</I>, but not in mp3lib. You can watch a VOB file | |
494 on a 400Mhz CPU. You'll need <A | |

505 if GNU C/C++ compiler is configured with or without the GNU assembler.</P> | |
1612 | 506 |
1682 | 507 <P>On Solaris x86, you need the GNU assembler and the GNU C/C++ |
508 compiler, configured to use the GNU assembler! The mplayer code on | |
509 the x86 platform makes heavy use of MMX, SSE and 3DNOW! | |

952 <P>Special system/cpu-specific bugs/problems:</P> | |
953 <UL> | |
954 <LI> SIGILL (signal 4) in draw_frame, on P3 (mostly with 2.2.x kernels):<BR> | |
955 Problem: movups is crashing in libvo/fastmemcpy.h<BR> | |
956 Workaround: ./configure --disable-fastmemcpy<BR> | |
957 SOLVED: disabled SSE code in fastmemcpy.h ;(</LI> | |
958 | |
959 <LI>No image (black image) in RGB 15/16bpp (x11,dga,fbdev,svga) playing | |
960 MPEG or OpenDivX files:<BR> | |
961 Problem: gcc 2.96 bug<BR> | |
962 Workaround: ./configure --disable-mmx, or use gcc 2.95.x<BR> | |
1987 | 963 SOLVED: code fixed</LI> |
1748 | 964 |
965 <LI>SIGILL (signal 4) or other fault at loading l3codeca.acm:<BR> | |
966 Problem: shared libs are loaded to 0x00xxxxxx instead of 0x40xxxxxx<BR> | |
967 Workaround: mplayer -afm 1 ...<BR> | |
968 SOLVED: you are using some security kernel patch, like OpenWall etc.</LI> | |
969 | |
970 <LI>SIGILL (signal 4) on P3 using 2.2.x kernels:<BR> | |
971 Problem: kernel 2.2.x doesn't have proper (working) SSE support<BR> | |
972 Solution: upgrade kernel to 2.4.x<BR> | |
973 Workaround: ./configure --disable-sse<BR> | |
974 | |
975 <LI>General SIGILL (signal 4):<BR> | |
976 Problem: you compiled and run mplayer in different machines | |
977 (for example compiled on P3 and running on celeron)<BR> | |
978 Solution: compile MPlayer on the same machine where you will use it!<BR> | |
979 Workaround: ./configure --disable-sse etc. options<BR> | |
980 </UL> | |
981 | |
982 <P>Various A-V sync and other audio problems:</P> | |
983 | |
984 General audio delay or jerky sound (exists with all or many files):<BR> | |
985 <UL> | |
986 <LI>audio buffer problems (buffer size badly detected)<BR> | |
987 Workaround: mplayer -abs option</LI> | |
988 <LI>slow machine (cpu or vga)<BR> | |
989 try with -vo null, if it plays well, then you have slow VGA card/driver<BR> | |
990 Workaround: buy a faster card or read this documentation about how to speed up<BR> | |
991 SOLVED: try -framedrop</LI> | |
992 </UL><BR> | |
993 | |
994 Audio delay/de-sync specific to one or a few files:<BR> | |
995 <UL> | |
996 <LI>bad file (please upload the file, so we can check & fix)<BR> | |
997 Workaround: -ni or -bps option (for non-interlaved or bad files)<BR> | |
998 -mc 0 (required for files with VBR audio)<BR> | |
999 -delay option or +/- keys at runtime to adjust delay</LI> | |
1000 <LI>your soundcard doesn't support 48Khz playback<BR> | |
1001 Workaround: buy a better soundcard... or try to decrease fps by 10% (use -fps 27 for a 30fps movie)</LI> | |
1002 <LI>slow machine<BR> | |
1003 (if A-V is not around 0, and the last number in the status line increasing)<BR> | |
1004 Workaround: -framedrop</LI> | |
1005 </UL><BR> | |
1006 | |
1007 No sound at all:<BR> | |
1008 <UL> | |
1009 <LI>your file uses an unsupported codec<BR> | |

1011 </UL> | |
1012 | |
1013 <P>Video-out problems:</P> | |
1014 | |
1015 <P>First note: options -fs -vm and -zoom are just recommendations, not (yet) | |
1016 supported by all drivers. So it isn't a bug if it doesn't work. | |
1017 Only a few driver supports scaling/zooming, don't expect this from x11 or dga.</P> | |
1018 | |
1019 <P>OSD/sub flickering:<BR> | |
1020 - x11 driver: sorry, it can't be fixed now<BR> | |
1021 - xv driver: use -double option</P> | |
