.\" MPlayer (C) 2000-2001 Arpad Gereoffy <arpi@esp-team.scene.hu> .\" This manpage was/is done by Gabucino .\" .TH MPlayer-CVS .SH NAME mplayer \- Movie Player for Linux .SH SYNOPSIS .B mplayer .RB [ \-vo\ <driver>[:<subdriver>]\ ] .RB [ \-ao\ <driver>[:<subdriver>]\ ] .RB [ \-vcd\ track\ number ] .RB [ \-sb\ byte\ position ] .RB [ \-nosound\ ] .RB [ \-abs\ seconds ] .RB [ \-delay\ secs ] .RB [ \-bps\ value ] .RB [ \-aid\ id ] .RB [ \-vid\ id ] .RB [ \-fps\ rate ] .RB [ \-mc\ seconds/5f ] .RB [ \-afm\ audio\ decoder ] .RB [ \-fs\ ] .RB [ \-vm\ ] .RB [ \-zoom\ ] .RB [ \-x\ x ] .RB [ \-y\ y ] .RB [ \-xy\ factor ] .RB [ \-pp\ quality ] .RB [ \-include\ configfile ] .RB [ \-lircconf\ configfile ] .RB [ \-ffactor\ number ] .RB [ \-sub\ file ] .RB [ \-subfps\ rate ] .RB [ \-subdelay\ sec ] .RB [ \-dvdauth\ device ] .RB [ \-z\ <0-8> ] .RB [ \-idx ] .RB [ \-forceidx ] .RB [ \-nodshow ] .RB [ \-noxv ] .RB [ \-forcexv ] .RB [ \-ss\ sec ] .RB [ \-dumpaudio ] .RB [ \-dumpvideo ] .RB [ \-noframedrop ] .RB [ \-framedrop ] .RB [ \-nodouble ] .RB [ \-double ] .RB [ \-dvdkey\ key ] .RB [ \-stereo\ mode ] .RB [ \-srate\ Hz ] .RB [ \-osdlevel\ level ] .RB [ \-config\ file ] .RB [ \-display\ name ] .RB [ \-unicode ] .I - or file .PP .SH DESCRIPTION .I mplayer Yes. Yet another movie player for linux. What is the special with this? It works, at least for me :) I've tried lots of players under linux (mtv,xmps,dvdview,livid/oms,VideoLAN, xine,xanim,avifile,xmmp) but they all have some problem. Mostly with special files or with audio/video sync. Most of them is unable to play both mpeg1, mpeg2 and avi (DivX) files. Many players have image quality or speed problems too. So I've decided to write/modify one... .LP .SH "GENERAL OPTIONS" .TP .I NOTE MPlayer works out-of-the-box, so you generally don't have to mess with any options. .TP .I NOTE Every "flag" option has "noflag" pair, e.g. -fs opposite is -nofs .TP .B \-vo\ <driver>[:<subdriver>] select video output driver. "subdriver" is valid only when you specify a driver like SDL or GGI, which use alternative means to produce video. Like: -vo sdl:aalib (or dga, fbdev, svga, x11, ggi) you can get the list of available drivers executing .I mplayer -vo help .TP .B \-ao\ <driver>[:<subdriver>] select audio output driver. "subdriver" is valid only when you specify SDL as driver, which uses alternative means to produce audio. Like: -vo sdl:esd (or arts) If using OSS, you can specify which sound device to use like this : -ao oss:/dev/dsp0 you can get the list of available drivers executing .I mplayer -ao help .TP .B \-vcd\ track play video cd track from device instead of plain file .TP .B \-dvdauth\ device specify DVD-ROM drive to use for MPEG2 decoding. (use *_only_* when playing from DVD!) .TP .B \-nosound don't play sound .TP .B \-fs fullscreen playing (centers movie, and makes black bands around it) .TP .B \-vm use XF86VidMode extension for mode changing .TP .B \-zoom use software scaling, where available (use with -nofs) .TP .B \-x\ x scale image to x width [if driver suppports!] .TP .B \-y\ y scale image to y height .TP .B \-xy\ factor scale image by <factor> .TP .B \-pp\ quality apply postprocess filter on decoded image. You need a STRONG CPU in order to use this! The supported formats and settings are: MPEG 1/2 0 (none), 1, 3, 7, 15, 31, 63 OpenDivX 0 (none), 1, 3, 7, 15, 31, 63 DivX 0 (none), 1, 2, 3, 4 .I NOTE Maybe less/more. .I NOTE You can use this with OpenDivX encoding too! See ALPHA/BETA CODE section. .TP .B \-ffactor\ number resample alphamap of the font. Can be: 0 plain white fonts 0.75 very narrow black outline [default] 1 narrow black outline 10 bold black outline .TP .B \-sub\ file use/display this subtitle file .TP .B \-subfps\ rate specify frame/sec rate of subtitle file (ONLY for frame-based SUB files, i.e. NOT MicroDVD format!) (default: the same as the movie) .TP .B \-subdelay\ sec delays subtitles by <sec> seconds. Can be negative. .TP .B \-osdlevel\ level specifies which mode the OSD should start in (0 : none, 1 : seek, 2: seek+timer) (default = 2) .TP .B \-lircconf\ configfile specifies a configfile for LIRC (see http://www.lirc.org) if you don't like the default ~/.lircrc .IP .SH "ADVANCED OPTIONS" .TP .I NOTE These options can help you solve your particular problem.. Also, see the DOCS! .TP .B \-afm <1-5> force audio format 1:MPEG 2:PCM 3:AC3 4:Win32 5:aLaw .I NOTE With DivX AVIs with MP3 audio, you can choose whether to use MP3LIB (option 1), or Win32 DLL l3codeca.acm (option 4) (default). On CPUs with the 3DNow! instruction set, the first gives more performance. Your mileage may vary. .TP .B \-sb\ position seek to byte position .TP .B \-ss\ second seek to second position .TP .B \-abs\ bytes audio buffer size (in bytes, default: measuring) .TP .B \-delay\ secs audio delay in seconds (may be +/- float value) .TP .B \-bps use avg. byte/sec value for A-V sync (AVI) .TP .B \-aid\ id select audio channel [MPG: 0-31 AVI: 1-99] .TP .B \-vid\ id select video channel [MPG: 0-15 AVI: -- ] .TP .B \-fps\ value force frame rate (if value is wrong in the header) .TP .B \-mc\ seconds/5frame maximum sync correction per 5 frames (in seconds) .TP .B \-ni force usage of non-interleaved AVI parser .TP .B \-include specify config file to be parsed after the default .TP .B \-z\ <0-8> specifies compression level for PNG output 0 : no compression 8 : max compression .TP .B \-idx rebuilds INDEX of the AVI. Useful with broken downloads, or badly created AVIs. .TP .B \-forceidx force rebuilding of INDEX. Useful for testing, or AVIs with bad indexes. .TP .B \-nodshow disables usage of DirectShow video codecs .TP .B \-noxv disable XVideo hardware acceleration (with SDL only!) .TP .B \-forcexv force using XVideo (SDL!) .TP .B \-dumpaudio writes audio stream of the file to ./stream.dump (mostly usable with mpeg/ac3) .TP .B \-noframedrop no frame dropping : every frame is played, audio and video may be out of sync (default) .TP .B \-framedrop frame dropping : decode all frames, video may skip .TP .B \-nodouble disable doublebuffering (default). Currently this is only honoured by the DGA driver. With the DGA driver this also disables OSD support but yields some speed gain. .TP .B \-double enable doublebuffering. Currently this is only honoured by the DGA driver. .TP .B \-dvdkey key key to decrypt stream encrypted with CSS. For example : -dvdkey F169072699 (this is NOT for DVD playing! For DVD use the -dvdauth option!) .TP .B \-stereo mode select type of MPEG1 stereo output. Mode may be 0:stereo 1:left 2:right Stereo 0 Left channel 1 Right channel 2 .TP .B \-srate Hz specifies Hz to playback audio on. Has effect on playback speed! .TP .B \-config configfile specifies where to search for config file .TP .B \-display name specify the hostname and display number of the X server you want to display on. For example : -display xtest.localdomain:0 .TP .B \-unicode tells MPlayer to handle the subtitle file (with -sub option) as UNICODE. Contrary: -nounicode .TP .B \-lircconf\ configfile specifies a configfile for LIRC (see http://www.lirc.org) if you don't like the default ~/.lircrc .IP .SH "ALPHA/BETA CODE" .TP .I NOTE These are included in this manpage just for completeness! If you don't know what are these, you DON'T need these! In either case, double-check DOCS! .TP .B \-br\ rate used with '-vo odivx' . Specifies the bitrate to encode OpenDivx at (in bits! e.g: 780000). .TP .B \-encode\ file used with '-vo odivx' . Specifies the output OpenDivX file. Won't overwrite. .TP .B \-dumpvideo dump video stream to ./stream.dump (only with MPEG-PS) (not very usable) .IP .SH KEYBOARD CONTROL .TP .I NOTE These keys may/may not work, depending on your video output driver. .TP <- or -> seek backward/forward 10 seconds up or down seek backward/forward 1 minute p or SPACE pause movie (press any key) q or ESC stop playing and quit program + or - adjust audio delay by +/- 0.1 second / or * decrease/increase volume o toggle OSD: none / seek / seek+timer m toggle using master/pcm volume d toggle frame dropping: no / on / hard(debug) z or x adjust subtitle delay by +/- 0.1 second .IP .SH FILES AND DIRECTORIES .TP .I CONFIG FILES Settings are stored system-wide in the /etc/mplayer.conf file, and per-user in $HOME/.mplayer/config. The directory $HOME/.mplayer and the 'config' are created if doesn't exist. .TP .I FONTS Fonts are searched in $HOME/.mplayer/font. There must be a font.desc file, and files with .RAW extension. .TP .I SUBTITLE FILES MPlayer currently supports 6 subtitle formats : MicroDVD, SubRip, unnamed, SAMI (smi), vplayer, RealMedia RT, ssa (Sub Station Alpha). Sub files are searched in this priority : (for example /mnt/cdrom/movie.avi) /mnt/cdrom/movie.sub (SUB/srt/SRT/smi/SMI/rt/RT/txt/TXT) $HOME/.mplayer/sub/movie.sub (SUB/srt/SRT/smi/SMI/rt/RT/txt/TXT) $HOME/.mplayer/default.sub .IP .SH "EXAMPLES" Just launch it! :) .LP .SH BUGS Probably. Check DOCS. Bugreports should be addressed to the MPlayer-users mailing list (mplayer-users@lists.sourceforge.net) ! If you want to submit a bugreport (which we love to receive!), please double-check the DOCS/BUGREPORTS, and tell us all that we need to know to identify your problem. .LP .SH AUTHORS Check DOCS/AUTHORS !
