| 117 <P><B><A NAME=1.1>1.1. Overview</A></B></P> | |
| 118 | |
| 1731 | 119 <P><B>MPlayer</B> is a movie player for LINUX (runs on many other Unices, and |
| 120 <B>non-x86</B> CPUs, see <A HREF="#6">section 6</A>). It plays most MPEG, AVI | |
| 1987 | 121 and ASF/WMV files, supported by many native and Win32 DLL codecs. You can watch |
| 122 <B>VideoCD</B>, <B>SVCD</B>, <B>DVD</B> and even <B>DivX</B> movies too (and | |
| 123 you don't need the avifile library at all!). The another big feature of mplayer | |
| 124 is the wide range of supported output drivers. It works with X11, Xv, DGA, | |
| 125 OpenGL, SVGAlib, fbdev, AAlib, but you can use SDL (and this way all drivers of | |
| 2048 | 126 SDL) and some lowlevel card-specific drivers (for Matrox, 3Dfx and Radeon) too! |
| 127 Most of them supports software or hardware scaling, so you can enjoy movies in | |
| 128 fullscreen. And what about the nice big antialiased shaded subtitles (7 | |
| 2062 | 129 supported types!!!) with european/ISO 8859-1,2 (hungarian, english, czech, etc), cyrillic, |
| 130 korean fonts, and OSD?</P> | |
| 1612 | 131 |
| 2038 | 132 <P>MPlayer <I>would be</I> distributable under the terms of the <A |
| 133 HREF="http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl.html">GNU GPL</A>, but distributing | |
| 134 binary packages if <B>forbidden</B>, and the MPlayer team ignores bugreports | |
| 135 from you if you use one! The OpenDivX code has its own license.</P> | |
| 1859 | 136 |
| 1682 | 137 <P>I didn't write any codecs, just some players. I spent |
| 138 a lot of time finding the best way to parse bad damaged input files | |
| 139 (both MPEG and AVI) and to do perfect A-V sync with seeking ability. | |
| 140 My player is rock solid playing damaged MPEG files (useful for some VCDs), | |
| 141 and it plays bad AVI files which are unplayable with the famous | |
| 142 windows media player. Even AVI files without index chunk are playable, and | |
| 143 you can rebuild their indexes with the -idx option, thus enabling seeking! | |
| 144 As you see, stability and quality are the most important things for me, | |
| 145 but the speed is also amazing.</P> | |
| 1612 | 146 |
| 1682 | 147 <P><B><A NAME=1.2>1.2. History</A></B></P> |
| 1612 | 148 |
| 1682 | 149 <P>This began a year ago... |
| 150 I've tried lots of players under linux (mtv,xmps,dvdview,livid/oms,VideoLAN, | |
| 151 xine,xanim,avifile,xmmp) but they all have some problem. Mostly with special | |
| 152 files or with audio/video sync. Most of them is unable to play both MPEG1, | |
| 153 MPEG2 and AVI (DivX) files. Many players have image quality or speed problems | |
| 154 too. So I've decided to write/modify one...</P> | |
| 1612 | 155 |
| 1682 | 156 <P><UL> |
| 157 <LI><B>mpg12play v0.1-v0.3:</B><BR> | |
| 1612 | 158 The first try, hacked together in a half hour! |
| 159 I've used libmpeg3 from www.heroinewarrior.com up to the version 0.3, | |
| 160 but there were image quality and speed problems with it. | |
| 1682 | 161 <LI><B>mpg12play v0.5-v0.87:</B><BR> |
| 1612 | 162 Mpeg codec replaced with DVDview by Dirk Farin, it was a great stuff, |
| 163 but it was slow and was written in C++ (I hate C++!!!) | |
| 1682 | 164 <LI><B>mpg12play v0.9-v0.95pre5:</B><BR> |
| 165 Mpeg codec was libmpeg2 (mpeg2dec) by Aaron Holtzman & Michel Lespinasse. | |
| 1612 | 166 It's great, optimized very fast C code with perfect image quality and |
| 167 100% MPEG standard conformance. | |
| 1682 | 168 <LI><B>MPlayer v0.3-v0.9:</B><BR> |
| 1612 | 169 It was a pack of two programs: mpg12playv0.95pre6 and my new simple AVI |
| 170 player 'avip' based on avifile's Win32 DLL loader. | |
| 1682 | 171 <LI><B>MPlayer v0.10:</B><BR> |
| 1612 | 172 The MPEG and AVI player in a single binary! |
| 1682 | 173 <LI><B>MPlayer v0.11:</B><BR> |
| 1612 | 174 Some new developers joined and from 0.11 the mplayer project is a team-work! |
| 175 Added .ASF file support, and OpenDivX (see www.projectmayo.com) en/decoding. | |
| 1682 | 176 <LI><B>MPlayer v0.17 "The IdegCounter"</B><BR> |
| 1612 | 177 The release version of the 0.11pre after 4 months of heavy development! |
| 178 Try it, and be amazed! Thousands of new features added... and of course | |
| 179 old code was improved too, bugs removed etc. | |
| 2002 | 180 <LI><B>MPlayer 0.18 "The BugCounter"</B><BR> |
| 1612 | 181 2 months since 0.17 and here's a new release.. Completed ASF support, |
| 182 more subtitle formats, introduced libao (similar to libvo but to audio), | |
| 183 even more stable than ever, and so on. It's a MUST ! | |
| 2002 | 184 <LI><B>MPlayer 0.50pre "The Faszom(C)ounter"</B><BR> |
| 185 Hmm. Release again. Tons of new features, beta GUI version, bugs fixed, | |
| 186 new vo and ao drivers, ported to many systems, including opensource DivX | |
| 187 codecs and much more. Try it! | |

| 1682 | 191 <P><B><A NAME=1.3>1.3. Installation</A></B></P> |
| 1612 | 192 |
| 1748 | 193 <P>You'll need the following packages and versions if you don't want to |
| 194 experience any problems:<BR> | |
| 195 <UL> | |
| 196 <LI><B>binutils</B> - suggested version is <B>2.11.x</B> . This program is | |
| 197 responsible for generating MMX/3DNow!/etc instructions, thus very important.</LI> | |
| 198 <LI><B>gcc</B> - suggested version is from <B>2.95.2</B> to <B>2.95.4</B>. | |
| 199 <B>NEVER</B> use 2.96 or 3.x.x !!! They generate faulty code.</LI> | |
| 200 <LI><B>XFree86</B> - suggested version is <B>always the newest (4.1.0)</B>. Normally | |
| 201 everyone wants this. If you don't know why, you <B>do</B> need it.</LI> | |
| 202 <LI><B>make</B> - suggested version is <B>always the newest</B> (at least 3.79.x). This | |
| 203 usually isn't important.</LI> | |
| 1987 | 204 <LI><B>SDL</B> - it's not mandatory, but can help in some cases. Always |
| 205 use the newest (beginning from 1.2.x).</LI> | |
| 1748 | 206 </UL> |
| 207 </P> | |
| 208 | |
| 209 <P>Read the following before trying to compile <B>MPlayer</B>:</P> | |
| 210 | |
| 1703 | 211 <UL> |
| 212 <LI>If you plan to use <B>MPlayer</B> on x86 architecture, you possibly want to use | |
| 1682 | 213 Win32 codecs. Download and unzip w32codecs.zip to /usr/lib/win32 . |
| 214 Note: the avifile project has similar codecs package, but it differs | |
| 1731 | 215 from ours, so if you want to use all supported codecs, then use |
| 1703 | 216 our package! However, you can use our codecs package with avifile.</LI> |
| 1682 | 217 |
| 2051 | 218 <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 | 219 section in order to gain big speedup. It is important to do these steps |
| 1748 | 220 <I>before</I> compiling <B>MPlayer</B>, otherwise no Matrox-specific support will be |
| 1703 | 221 built.</LI> |
| 1682 | 222 |
| 2048 | 223 <LI>If you own a 3Dfx card (which models?), then please see the <A |
| 224 HREF="video.html#2.2.1.9">2.2.1.9</A> section in order to gain big speedup. It | |
| 225 is important to do these steps <I>before</I> compiling <B>MPlayer</B>, | |
| 226 otherwise no 3Dfx support will be built.</LI> | |
| 227 | |
| 1703 | 228 <LI>If you plan to use the ProjectMayo's <B>DivX4</B> codec, check the |
| 1731 | 229 <A HREF="codecs.html#2.1.2.1">2.1.2.1</A> section before compiling. |
| 230 This codec can play <B>DivX</B> movies much faster than the Win32 DLL, and | |
| 231 <B>ffmpeg</B>. It's closed-source, and only an x86 version is available.</LI> | |
| 232 | |
| 233 <LI>If you plan to use ffmpeg's <B>libavcodec</B>, check the | |
| 234 <A HREF="codecs.html#2.1.2.2">2.1.2.2</A> section before compiling. | |
| 235 You'll need this to gain <B>DivX</B> playing on non-x86 machines, or want to | |
| 236 gain bigger speed than the Win32 codec does.</LI> | |
| 1703 | 237 |
| 2001 | 238 <LI>For DVD support, you'll have to compile libdvdread and libdvdcss. |
| 1703 | 239 See <A HREF="cd-dvd.html#4.2">section 4.2</A> for more information.</LI> |
| 2062 | 240 |
| 241 <LI>Decide if you need GUI. If you do, see the <A HREF=#1.4>1.4 section</A> | |
| 242 before compiling.</LI> | |
| 1703 | 243 </UL> |
| 1612 | 244 |
| 1682 | 245 <P>Then build <B>MPlayer</B>:</P> |
| 246 | |
| 247 <PRE> ./configure | |
| 248 make | |
| 249 make install</PRE> | |
| 1612 | 250 |
| 1682 | 251 <P>It is recommended to browse the output of ./configure , it contains info |
| 252 about what will be built, and what won't. You may also want to view | |
| 253 config.h and config.mak files.</P> | |
| 1612 | 254 |
| 1682 | 255 <P>Though not mandatory, the fonts should be installed in order to gain |
| 256 OSD, and subtitle functionality. Download mp_font3.zip and optional | |
| 1987 | 257 (if exists) language updates. It's VERY RECOMMENDED to check |
| 258 <A HREF=#1.5>section 1.5</A> for details.</P> | |
| 1612 | 259 |
| 1682 | 260 <PRE> mkdir ~/.mplayer/font |
| 261 cd ~/.mplayer/font | |
| 262 unzip mp_font3.zip | |
| 263 unzip mp_font3_hu.zip</PRE> | |
| 1612 | 264 |
| 1846 | 265 <P>Only one thing remains: copy the <B>codecs.conf</B> file from the <CODE>etc</CODE> |
| 266 directory (relative to the <B>MPlayer</B> tree) to $HOME/.mplayer/codecs.conf.</P> | |
| 267 | |
| 1612 | 268 |
| 1682 | 269 <P><B><A NAME=1.4>1.4. What about the GUI?</A></B></P> |
| 1612 | 270 |
| 2001 | 271 <P>The GUI is built upon GTK, so gtk (and it's devel stuff) has to be installed. |
| 272 You can build it by specifying <CODE>--enable-new-gui</CODE> during ./configure . | |
| 273 Then, to turn on GUI mode, you either | |
| 274 <UL> | |
| 275 <LI>use the <CODE>-gui</CODE> option</LI> | |

| 2062 | 282 <P>As <B>MPlayer</B> doesn't have a skin included, you have to download them |
| 283 if you want to use the GUI. See the <A HREF="http://www.mplayerhq.hu/homepage/dload.html">download page</A>. | |
| 284 They should be extracted to the usual system-wide directory (<CODE>/usr/local/share/mplayer/Skin</CODE>), | |
| 285 or to <CODE>$HOME/.mplayer/Skin</CODE> . <B>MPlayer</B> by default looks in | |
| 286 these directories for a <I>default</I> named directory, but you can use the | |
| 287 <I>-skin newskin</I> option, or the <I>skin=newskin</I> config file | |

| 291 | |
| 292 <P>Yes, <B>MPlayer</B> also supports many kinds of subtitles. Currently | |
| 293 7 kinds of subtitle can be used by the subreader code. To see what are | |
| 294 these subtitle formats, see subreader.c, line ~20.</P> | |
| 295 | |
| 296 <P>Subtitles are displayed with a technique called <B>'OSD', On Screen Display</B>. | |
| 297 OSD is used to display current time, volume bar, seek bar etc.</P> | |
| 298 | |
| 299 <P><B>INSTALLING OSD and SUB</B></P> | |
| 300 | |
| 301 <P>You need an <B>MPlayer</B> font package to be able to use OSD/SUB feature. | |
| 302 There are many ways to get it: | |
| 303 <UL> | |
| 304 | |
| 305 <LI>download ready-to-use font packages from <B>MPlayer</B> site. | |
| 306 Note: currently available fonts are limited for iso 8859-1/2 support, | |
| 307 and there are a few special versions for korean, russian etc codepages. | |
| 308 Font should have appropriate font.desc file which maps unicode font | |
| 309 positions to the actual code page of the subtitles text. Other solution | |
| 310 is to have subtitles encoded in utf8 encoding and use -utf8 option | |
| 311 or just name the subtitles file <video_name>.utf and have it in the same | |
| 312 dir as the video file. Recoding from different codepages to utf8 could be | |
| 313 done by using konwert (debian) or iconv (RedHat) programs.<BR> | |

| 1688 | 595 <P>On Solaris with an UltraSPARC CPU, you can get some extra speed by |

| 1001 | |
| 1002 <LI>SIGILL (signal 4) on P3 using 2.2.x kernels:<BR> | |
| 1003 Problem: kernel 2.2.x doesn't have proper (working) SSE support<BR> | |
| 1004 Solution: upgrade kernel to 2.4.x<BR> | |
| 2005 | 1005 Workaround: ./configure --disable-sse</LI> |
| 1748 | 1006 |
| 1007 <LI>General SIGILL (signal 4):<BR> | |
| 1008 Problem: you compiled and run mplayer in different machines | |
| 1009 (for example compiled on P3 and running on celeron)<BR> | |
| 1010 Solution: compile MPlayer on the same machine where you will use it!<BR> | |

| 1019 Workaround: mplayer -abs option</LI> | |
| 1020 <LI>slow machine (cpu or vga)<BR> | |
| 1021 try with -vo null, if it plays well, then you have slow VGA card/driver<BR> | |

| 1043 </UL> | |
| 1044 | |
| 1045 <P>Video-out problems:</P> | |
| 1046 | |
| 1047 <P>First note: options -fs -vm and -zoom are just recommendations, not (yet) | |
| 1048 supported by all drivers. So it isn't a bug if it doesn't work. | |
| 1049 Only a few driver supports scaling/zooming, don't expect this from x11 or dga.</P> | |
| 1050 | |
| 1051 <P>OSD/sub flickering:<BR> | |
| 1052 - x11 driver: sorry, it can't be fixed now<BR> | |
