It plays most MPEG, VOB, AVI, VIVO, ASF/WMV, QT/MOV, FLI, RM, NuppelVideo, yuv4mpeg, FILM, RoQ files, supported by many native, XAnim, and Win32 DLL codecs. You can watch VideoCD, SVCD, DVD, 3ivx, DivX 3/4/5 and even WMV movies too (and you don't need the avifile library at all!). Another big feature of mplayer is the wide range of supported output drivers. It works with X11, Xv, DGA, OpenGL, SVGAlib, fbdev, AAlib, DirectFB, but you can use GGI and SDL (and this way all their drivers) and some lowlevel card-specific drivers (for Matrox G-series, 3Dfx Banshee/Voodoo3 and ATI cards) too! .br Most of them supports software or hardware scaling, so you can enjoy movies in fullscreen. MPlayer supports displaying through some hardware MPEG decoder boards, such as the Siemens DVB and DXR3/Hollywood+! Nice big antialiased shaded subtitles with european/ISO 8859-1,2 (hungarian, english, czech, etc), cyrillic, korean fonts are supported (10 supported subtitle formats: MicroDVD, SubRip, SubViewer, SAMI (smi), vplayer, RealMedia RT, ssa (Sub Station Alpha), AQT, VobSub, and our own: MPsub). .B mencoder (MPlayer's Movie Encoder) is a simple movie encoder, designed to encode MPlayer-playable movies (AVI/DVD/VCD/VOB/MPG/MOV/VIV/VIV/FLI/RM/NUV/NET) to other MPlayer-playable formats (see below). It encodes to DivX4 (1, 2 or 3 passes), xvid, codecs of libavcodec, PCM/MP3/VBRMP3 audio. Also has stream copying abilities, a powerfull plugin system (crop, expand, flip, postprocess, rotate, scale, rgb/yuv conversion) and more. .B gmplayer is MPlayer with a graphical user interface. It has the same options as MPlayer. .SH GENERAL NOTES Every "flag" option has "noflag" pair, e.g. \-fs opposite is \-nofs. .br .B Check the html documentation too! .SH "DEMUXER/STREAM OPTIONS" .TP .B \-aid <id> Select audio channel [MPG: 0\-31 AVI: 1\-99 ASF: 0\-127 VOB: 128\-...] .br .I NOTE: Use \-alang to define the language by name. .TP .B \-alang <audio\ stream\ language> Usable when playing DVD disks. Expects a two\-letter country code(s) as parameter, and always tries to play back audio streams those language matches the given code. For example: \-alang hu,en will always try to play hungarian or if it's non\-existant then english audio streams if there are any. .TP .B \-audio\-demuxer <number> Force audio demuxer type for \-audiofile. Give the demuxer ID as defined in demuxers.h. You can use \-audio\-demuxer 17 to force .mp3 detection! .TP .B \-audiofile <filename> Play audio from an external file (WAV, MP3 or OggVorbis) .TP .B \-cdrom\-device <path\ to\ device> Override default CDROM drive name /dev/cdrom .TP .B \-cache <kbytes> This option specifies how much memory (in kbytes) to use when precaching a file/URL. Especially useful on slow media (default is \-nocache). .TP .B \-chapter <chapter\ id>[-<end chapter id>] Specify which chapter to start playing at. Optionally specify which chapter to end playing at. Examples can be found below. .TP .B \-csslib <filename> (old-style DVD option) This option is used to override the default location of libcss.so .TP .B \-demuxer <number> Force demuxer type. Give the demuxer ID as defined in demuxers.h. .TP .B \-dumpaudio (MPLAYER only) Dumps raw compressed audio stream to ./stream.dump (usefull with mpeg/ac3) .TP .B \-dumpfile <filename> (MPLAYER only) Specify which file MPlayer should dump to. Should be used together with \-dumpaudio/\-dumpvideo/\-dumpstream. .TP .B \-dumpstream (MPLAYER only) Dumps the raw stream to ./stream.dump . Useful for example when ripping from DVD or network. .TP .B \-dumpsub (MPLAYER only) Dumps the subtitle substream from VOB streams. .TP .B \-dumpvideo (MPLAYER only) Dump raw compressed video stream to ./stream.dump (not very usable) .TP .B \-dvd <title\ id> Tell MPlayer which movies (marked with titleid) to play. For example sometimes '1' are trailers, and '2' is the real movie. Sometimes deinterlacing is required for DVD playback: see '\-pp 0x20000' or '\-npp lb' options too. .TP .B \-dvd\-device <path\ to\ device> Override default DVD device name /dev/dvd .TP .B \-dvdangle <angle\ id> Some DVD discs contain scenes that can be viewed from multiple angles. Here you can tell MPlayer which angles to use. Examples can be found below. .TP .B \-dvdauth <DVD\ device> (old-style DVD option) Turns on DVD authentication using the given device. .TP .B \-dvdkey <CSS\ key> (old-style DVD option) When decoding from non-DVD, this option gives the CSS key needed to crack the DVD (the key is printed when authenticating with DVD). .TP .B \-dvdnav (BETA CODE) Force usage of libdvdnav. .TP .B \-forceidx Force rebuilding of INDEX. Useful for files with broken index (desyncs, etc). Seeking will be possible. You can fix the index permanently with MEncoder (see the documentation). .TP .B \-fps <value> Override video frame rate (if value is wrong/missing in the header) (float number) .TP .B \-frames <number> Play/convert only first <number> frames, then quit. .TP .B \-hr\-mp3\-seek (.MP3 only) Hi\-res mp3 seeking. Default is: enabled when playing from external MP3 file, as we need to seek to the very exact position to keep A/V sync. It can be slow especially when seeking backwards \- it has to rewind to the beginning to find the exact frame. .TP .B \-idx (see \-forceidx option too!) Rebuilds INDEX of the AVI if no INDEX was found, thus allowing seeking. Useful with broken/incomplete downloads, or badly created AVIs. .TP .B \-mc <seconds/frame> Maximum A-V sync correction per frame (in seconds) .TP .B \-mf <option1:option2:...> Used when decoding from multiple PNG or JPEG files. (see documentation). They are: on turns on multifile support w=<value> width of the output (autodetect) h=<value> height of the output (autodetect) fps=<value> fps of the output (default: 25) type=<value> type of input files (available types : jpeg, png) .TP .B \-ni (.AVI only) Force usage of non\-interleaved AVI parser (fixes playing of some bad AVI files). .TP .B \-nobps (.AVI only) Don't use avg. byte/sec value for A\-V sync (AVI). Helps with some AVI files with broken header. .TP .B \-skipopening Skip dvd opening (dvdnav only). .TP .B \-sb <byte\ position> (see \-ss option too!) Seek to byte position. Useful for playback from cdrom images / vob files with junk at the beginning. .TP .B \-srate <Hz> Specifies Hz to playback audio on. Has effect on playback speed! .TP .B \-ss <time> (see \-sb option too!) Seek to given time position. For example: \-ss 56 seeks to 56 seconds \-ss 01:10:00 seeks to 1 hour 10 min .TP .B \-tv <option1:option2:...> This option enables the TV grabbing feature of MPlayer (see documentation). Available options are: on use TV input noaudio no sound driver=<value> available: dummy, v4l device=<value> specify other device than the default /dev/video0 input=<value> available: television, s-video, composite, etc freq=<value> specify the frequency to set the tuner (e.g. 511.250) outfmt=<value> output format of the tuner (rgb32, rgb24, yv12, uyvy, i420) width=<value> the width of the output window height=<value> the height of the output window norm=<value> available: PAL, SECAM, NTSC channel=<value> set the tuner to the given channel chanlist=<value> available: us-bcast, us-cable, europe-west, europe-east, etc .TP .B \-vcd <track> Play video cd track from device instead of plain file .TP .B \-vid <id> Select video channel [MPG: 0\-15 ASF: 0\-255 ] .TP .B \-vivo <sub\-options> (DEBUG CODE) Force audio parameters for the .vivo demuxer (for debugging purposes) .SH "DECODING/FILTERING OPTIONS" .TP .B \-ac <codec name> Force usage of a specific audio codec, according to its name in codecs.conf, for example: \-ac mp3 use libmp3 MP3 codec \-ac mp3acm use l3codeca.acm MP3 codec \-ac ac3 use AC3 codec \-ac hwac3 enable Hardware AC3 passthrough (see documentation) \-ac vorbis use libvorbis \-ac ffmp3 use ffmpeg's MP3 decoder (SLOW) See '\-ac help' for FULL list! .TP .B \-afm <1\-12> (OBSOLETE) Force usage of a specific audio format. For example: \-afm 1 use libmp3 (mp2/mp3, but not mp1) \-afm 2 suppose raw PCM audio \-afm 3 use libac3 \-afm 4 use a matching Win32 codec \-afm 5 use aLaw/uLaw driver \-afm 10 use libvorbis \-afm 11 use ffmpeg's MP3 decoder (even mp1) See \-ac help for FULL list! .TP .B \-aspect <ratio> Override aspect ratio of movies. It's autodetected on MPEG files, but can't be autodetected on most AVI files. Examples: \-aspect 4:3 or \-aspect 1.3333 \-aspect 16:9 or \-aspect 1.7777 .TP .B \-flip Flip image upside-down .TP .B \-nosound Don't play/encode sound .TP .B \-npp <option1,option2,...> This option allows to give more litterate options for postprocessing, and is another way of calling it (not with \-pp). .br NOTE: -npp only controls the external postprocess filter, and you HAVE TO load it manually by '-vop pp', it is not auto-loaded! .br So, the usage: -vop pp -npp <options> .I EXAMPLE: '\-pp 0x2007f' <=> '\-npp hb,vb,dr,al,lb' '\-pp 0x7f' <=> '\-npp hb,vb,dr,al' You can get a list of options for \-npp by executing .I mplayer \-npp help .br These keywords accept a '\-' prefix to disable the option. .I EXAMPLE: '\-npp de,\-al' means 'default filters without brightness/contrast correction' A ':' followed by a letter may be appended to the option to indicate its scope: a : automatically switches the filter off if the cpu is too slow c : do chrominance filtering too y : do not do chrominance filtering (that is only luminance filtering) Each filter defaults to 'c' (chrominance). .I EXAMPLE: '\-npp de,tn:1:2:3' means 'enable default filters & temporal denoiser' '\-npp hb:y,vb:a \-autoq 6' means 'deblock horizontal only luminance, and automatically switch vertical deblocking on/off depending on available cpu time' .TP .B \-pp <quality> (see \-npp option too!) Apply postprocess filter on decoded image Value given by -pp is sent to the codec, if the codec has built-in postprocess filter (newer win32 DShow DLLs, divx4linux) otherwise the external postprocess filter plugin (-vop pp) is auto-loaded and used. Note, that you can use the built-in and external pp at the same time, use -pp to set internal pp, and -vop pp=value to set up the external! The valid range of -pp value for built-in pp filters vary on codecs, mostly 0-6, where 0=disable 6=slowest/best. For the external pp filter, this is the numerical mode to use postprocessing. The '\-npp' option described above has the same effects but with letters. To have several filters at the same time, simply add the hexadecimal values. .I EXAMPLE: The following values are known to give good results: \-pp 0x20000 <=> \-npp lb (deinterlacing \- for DVD/MPEG2 playback e.g.) \-pp 0x7f <=> \-npp hb,vb,dr,al (deblocking filter - for DivX) .TP .B \-ssf <mode> (BETA CODE) Specifies SwScaler parameters. Available options are: lgb=[0..100] gaussian blur filter (luma) cgb=[0..100] gaussian blur filter (chroma) ls=[0..100] sharpen filter (luma) cs=[0..100] sharpen filter (chroma) cvs=x chroma vertival shifting chs=x chroma horizontal shifting .TP .B \-stereo <mode> Select type of MP2/MP3 stereo output. Stereo 0 Left channel 1 Right channel 2 .TP .B \-sws <software\ scaler\ type> This option sets the quality (and speed, respectively) of the software scaler, with the \-zoom option. For example with x11 or other outputs which lack hardware acceleration. Possible settings are: 0 fast bilinear (default) 1 bilinear 2 bicubic (best quality) 3 ? 4 nearest neighbor (bad quality) 5 area averageing scaling support .TP .B \-vc <codec name> Force usage of a specific video codec, according to its name in codecs.conf, for example: \-vc divx use VFW DivX codec \-vc divxds use DirectShow DivX codec \-vc ffdivx use libavcodec's DivX codec \-vc ffmpeg12 use libavcodec's MPEG1/2 codec \-vc divx4 use ProjectMayo's DivX codec See '\-vc help' for FULL list! .TP .B \-vfm <1\-12> (OBSOLETE) Force usage of a specific codec FAMILY, and FALLBACK to default if failed. For example: \-vfm 2 use VFW (Win32) codecs \-vfm 3 use OpenDivX/DivX4 codec (YV12) (same as \-vc odivx but fallback) \-vfm 4 use DirectShow (Win32) codecs \-vfm 5 use libavcodec codecs \-vfm 7 use DivX4 codec (YUY2) (same as \-vc divx4 but fallback) \-vfm 10 use XAnim codecs See \-vc help for FULL list! .I NOTE: If libdivxdecore support was compiled in, then type 3 and 7 now contains just the same DivX4 codec, but different APIs to reach it. For difference between them and when to use which, check the DivX4 section in the documentation. .TP .B \-vop <plugin3[=options], plugin2, plugin1, ...> Activate coma separated list of video filters (see documentation!). Available plugins are: crop[=w:h:x:y] cropping expand[=w:h:x:y:o] expanding and OSD flip flips upside-down mirror horizontal mirroring rotate[=direction] rotate image scale[=w:h] software scaling yuy2 YV12/I420 \-> YUY2 rgb2bgr[=swap] RGB 24/32 <\-> BGR 24/32 palette RGB/BGR 8 \-> 15/16/24/32 bpp format[=fourcc] restrict colorspace pp[=flags] postprocessing (see \-pp) lavc[=quality:fps] YV12\->MPEG1 (libavcodec) fame YV12\->MPEG1 (libfame) .I parameters: .br w,h destination width/height value : w/h = value \-1 : w/h = original (default) 0 : w/h = scaled (aspect) w/h \-value : w/h = original+value x,y x/y position of the sub-image value : x/y = value \-1 : x/y = center image (default) o en/disable OSD/SUB rendering 0 : disabled (default) 1 : enabled .TP .B \-x <x> (MPLAYER only) Scale image to x width (if sw/hw scaling available). Disables aspect calcs. .TP .B \-xy <x> x<=8 Scale image by factor <x> x>8 Set width to <x> and calculate height to keep correct aspect ratio .TP .B \-y <y> (MPLAYER only) Scale image to y height (if sw/hw scaling available). Disables aspect calcs. .TP .B \-zoom Allow software scaling, where available. Could be used to force scaling with -vop scale (-vop scale will IGNORE options -x/-y/-xy/-fs/-aspect without -zoom) .SH "OSD/SUB OPTIONS" .I NOTE: See -vop expand too. .TP .B \-dumpmpsub (MPLAYER only) Convert the given subtitle (specified with the \-sub switch) to MPlayer's subtitle format, MPsub.

Also, you MUST specify a number which corresponds to a DVD subtitle language (0\-31). For the list of available subtitles, use with the \-v switch and look at the output. .br .I NOTE: Use \-slang to define the subtitle language by name. .TP .B \-slang <subtitle\ language> See the \-sid option, but this one needs a two\-letter parameter, a country code. Like: \-slang hu,en will always select hungarian or if it's non existant then english subtitles, if there are any. For the list of available subtitles, use with the \-v switch and look at the output. .TP .B \-sub <subtitle\ file> Use/display this subtitle file .TP .B \-subcp\ codepage If your system supports iconv(3), you can use this option to specify codepage of the subtitle. Examples: \-subcp latin2 \-subcp cp1250 .TP .B \-sub\-demuxer <number> (BETA CODE) Force subtitle demuxer type for \-subfile. .TP .B \-subdelay <sec> Delays subtitles by <sec> seconds.

For example: \-display xtest.localdomain:0 .TP .B \-double Enables doublebuffering. Fixes flicker by storing two frames in memory, and displaying one while decoding another. Can effect OSD. Needs twice the memory than a single buffer, so it won't work on cards with very few video memory. .TP .B \-dr Turns on direct rendering (not supported by all codecs and video outputs) (default is off). .TP .B \-fb <device> (FBdev or DirectFB only) Specifies the framebuffer device to use. By default it uses /dev/fb0. .TP .B \-fbmode <modename> (FBdev only) Change videomode to the one that is labelled as <modename> in /etc/fb.modes. .br .I NOTE: VESA framebuffer doesn't support mode changing. .TP .B \-fbmodeconfig <filename> (FBdev only) Use this config file instead of the default /etc/fb.modes.

You can get grayscale output with this option. .TP .B \-rootwin Play movie in the root window (desktop background) instead of opening a new one. Works only with x11, xv, xmga, xvidix drivers. .TP .B \-screenw <pixels> \-screenh <pixels> If you use an output driver which can't know the resolution of the screen (fbdev/x11 and/or TVout) this is where you can specify the horizontal and vertical resolution. .TP .B \-vm Try to change to a better video mode. dga, x11/xv (XF86VidMode) and sdl output drivers support it. .TP .B \-vo <driver>[:<device>] Select video output driver and optinally device. "device" is valid with SDL and GGI too, it means sub\-driver then (for example: \-vo sdl:aalib). You can get the list of available drivers executing .I mplayer \-vo help .TP .B \-vsync Enables VBI for vesa .TP .B \-wid <window\ id> This tells MPlayer to use a X11 window, which is useful to embed MPlayer in a browser (with the plugger extension for instance) .TP .B \-xineramascreen <screen\ number> In Xinerama configurations (i.e. a single desktop that spans across multiple displays) this option tells MPlayer which screen to display movie on. Range 0 \- ... .TP .B \-z <0\-9> Specifies compression level for PNG output (-vo png) 0 no compression 9 max compression .TP .B \-zr* Used for \-vo zr. You can get a list and an explanation of available options executing .I mplayer \-zrhelp .SH "PLAYER OPTIONS (MPLAYER ONLY)" .TP .B \-autoq <quality> (use with -vop pp!) Dynamically changes the level of postprocess, depending on spare CPU time available. The number you specify will be the maximum level used. Usually you can use some big number. You may not use together with \-pp but it's ok with \-npp! .TP .B \-benchmark Prints some statistics on CPU usage and dropped frames at the end. Used in combination with \-nosound and \-vo null for benchmarking only video codec. .TP .B \-dapsync (OBSOLETE) Use alternative A/V sync method. .TP .B \-framedrop (see \-hardframedrop option too!) Frame dropping: decode all (except B) frames, video may skip. Usefull for playback on slow VGA card/bus. .TP .B \-gui (BETA CODE) Start MPlayer in GUI mode. .TP .B \-h, \-\-help Show short summary of options .TP .B \-hardframedrop More intense frame dropping (breaks decoding). Leads to image disortion! .TP .B \-input <commands> This option can be used to configure certain parts of the input system. Relative path are relative to $HOME/.mplayer. conf=<file> read alternative input.conf.

For example '\-skin fittyfene' tries these: /usr/local/share/mplayer/Skin/fittyfene ~/.mplayer/Skin/fittyfene .TP .B \-slave This option switches on slave mode. This is intended for use of MPlayer as a backend to other programs. Instead of intercepting keyboard events, MPlayer will read simplistic command lines from its stdin. See section .B SLAVE MODE PROTOCOL For the syntax. .TP .B \-softsleep Uses high quality software timers. Efficient as the RTC, doesn't need root, but requires more CPU. .TP .B \-sstep <sec> Specifies seconds between displayed frames.
