So do not be surprised if something does not work as described here. - -<p> -Thanks to <em>Zoltán Ponekker</em> for his help. - -<p> -<em>András Mohari <mayday@freemail.hu></em> - +<h3> +<a NAME="images"></a>2.2 Formaty plików graficznych</h3> +Obrazki muszą być w formacie truecolor (24, albo 32 bity) i mogą być zapisane +jako BMP, PNG i TGA (z tym, że obrazki zapisane jako TGA nie mogą być skompresowane). +Preferowany format to PNG, ponieważ ma on bardzo dobry współczynnik kompresji, +a co za tym idzie, obrazki zajmują mniej miejsca. +<p>W głównym oknie (zobacz niżej) możesz używać obrazków z 'przeźroczystością': +obszary wypełnione przy użyciu koloru #FF00FF (<font color="#FF00FF">magenta</font>) +są dla MPlayera w pełni przeźroczyste. Oznacza to, że możesz używać dowolnych +kształtów okna głównego (np. okrągłych), jeżeli tylko twój X serwer posiada +rozszerzenie XShape. +<h3> +<a NAME="parts"></a>2.3 Części skóry</h3> +Skórki są całkowicie konfigurowalne (w przeciwieństwie np. do skór Winampa/XMMS) +(chodzi o to, że możesz umieścić dowolny przycisk np. 'play' w dowolnym +miejscu swojej skóry, format XMMSa i Winampa ma z góry ustalone położenie +każdego elementu i nie można tego zmienić - przyp. tłumacza), więc tylko +od ciebie zależy czy stworzysz coś naprawdę fajnego. +<p>Na dzień dzisiejszy są trzy okna do skonfigurowania: <a href="#mainwin">okno +główne</a> (main window), <a href="#subwindow">okno ekranu</a> (subwindow) +oraz <a href="#skinmenu">menu skóry</a> (skin menu), które może zostać +uaktywnione poprzez naciśnięcie prawego przycisku myszy. +<ul> +<li> +<b>okno główne</b> - to okno w którym kontrolujesz MPlayera. Tło tego okna +jest obrazkiem. Wszystkie elementy muszą być umieszczone w tym oknie: przyciski +(buttons), potencjometry (albo suwaki, jeżeli bardziej ci odpowiada ta +nazwa) oraz etykiety (labels). Dla każdego elementu musisz określić jego +pozycję oraz rozmiar.</li> -<h2><a name="overview">2 Overview</a></h2> - -It does not really have anything to do with the skin format, but you should -know that <em>MPlayer has <b>no</b> builtin skin, so <b>at least one skin -must be installed in order to be able to use the GUI.</b></em> - +<p>Każdy <b>przycisk</b> ma trzy fazy (wciśnięty, uwolniony oraz nieaktywny), +więc ich obrazki muszą być podzielone na trzy części w pionie. Zobacz sekcję +<a href="#main.button">przyciski</a>, +aby uzyskać więcej informacji. +<p><b>potencjometry </b>(zazwyczaj używane do określania pozycji filmu +(seek bar) oraz do kontroli głośności, balansu dźwięku) mogą posiadać dowolną +liczbę faz poprzez umieszczenie każdej następnej fazy pod poprzednią (w +obrazku) <font size=-1>(to nie jest za dobrze przetłumaczone-przyp. tłumacz)</font>.Zobacz +sekcję +<a href="#main.hpotmeter">hpotmeter</a> i <a href="#main.potmeter">potmeter</a>, +aby dowiedzieć się więcej na ten temat. +<p><b>Etykiety </b>są bardzo specyficzne: znaki służące do ich opisania +są brane z osobnego obrazka, a litery, które są w nim zawarte (w pliku +graficznym) są opisane przez <a href="#fonts">plik opisujący fonty</a>. +Jest to plik tekstowy, który określa pozycję x, y oraz rozmiar każdego +symbolu znajdującego się w obrazku. (a więc "plik graficzny z fontami" +i "plik opisujący fonty" tworzą razem fonty). Zobacz <a href="#main.dlabel">dlabel</a> +i <a href="#main.slabel">slabel</a>, po więcej szczegółów +<p><i><b>Uwaga:</b> wszystkie obrazki mogą posiadać przeźroczystość tak, +jak opisano to w sekcji <a href="#images">formaty plików graficznych</a>.</i> +<br> +<li> +<b>okno ekranu</b> <font size=-1>(niezbyt szczęśliwe tłumaczenie - przyp. +tłumacz)</font> - tutaj pojawia się film podczas odtwarzania. Może ono wyświetlać +określony obrazek jeżeli nie jest w danym momencie odgrywany żaden film +(to strasznie denerwujące mieć puste okno:-)) <i><b>Uwaga</b>: przeźroczystość +</i>jest tutaj <i><b>niedostępna</b>.</i></li> -<h3><a name="dirs">2.1 Directories</a></h3> +<br> +<li> +<b>menu skóry</b>- to po prostu jeden ze sposobów do kontrolowania MPlayera +poprzez polecenia z menu. Wymagane są tutaj dwa obrazki: pierwszy z nich +jest podstawowym obrazkiem pokazującym menu w "normalnym" stanie, drugi +natomiast jest używany do wyświetlania wybranych elementów. Kiedy aktywujesz +menu (poprzez prawe kliknięcie myszy) pokazywany jest pierwszy obrazek. +Kiedy najeżdżasz kursorem na którąś z pozycji, jej zaznaczenie jest kopiowane +z drugiego obrazka na obszar menu znajdujący się pod wskaźnikiem myszy +(a więc drugi obrazek nigdy nie jest pokazany w całości).</li> + +<br> </ul> -The directories searched for skins are (in order): -<pre> - /usr/local/share/mplayer/Skin/ - ~/.mplayer/Skin/ -</pre> +<ul>Obszar menu znajdujący się pod kursorem jest zdefiniowany poprzez jego +pozycję i rozmiar w obrazku (zobacz sekcję <a href="#skinmenu">menu skóry</a> +aby dowiedzieć się więcej na ten temat)</ul> +Jest jeszcze jedna ważna rzecz, która nie została jeszcze wspomniana: dla +przycisków, potencjometrów i obszarów menu, MPlayer musi wiedzieć co ma +zrobić jeżeli zostaną one kliknięte. Zajmują się tym <a href="#guimsg">sygnały</a> +(zdarzenia). Dla wszystkich tych elementów muszą być zdefiniowane sygnały, +które mają zostać wywołane po naciśnięciu przycisku myszy. +<h3> +<a NAME="files"></a><i>2.4 Pliki</i></h3> +Aby stworzyć skórę będziesz potrzebował następujących plików. +<ul> +<li> +Plik konfiguracyjny o nazwie <a href="#skin">skin</a>, który informuje +MPlayera w jaki sposób łączyć ze sobą poszczególne części skóry i co ma +zrobić kiedy klikasz gdziesz w obszarze okna.</li> + +<li> +Obrazek Tła do głównego okna.</li> + +<li> +Obrazki dla elementów okna głównego (włączając w to jeden, albo więcej +plików opisujących fonty potrzebnych do wyświetlania etykiet)</li> + +<li> +Obrazek który ma być wyświetlony w oknie ekranu (opcjonalnie)</li> -<p> -Note that the first path may vary according to the way MPlayer was configured -(see the <code>--datadir</code> argument of the <code>configure</code> -script). +<li> +Dwa obrazki do menu skóry (są one potrzebne tylko jeśli chcesz stworzyć +takie menu)</li> +</ul> +Poza plikiem konfiguracyjnym skóry, możesz nazwać wszystkie inne pliki +jak tylko chcesz (ale pamiętaj, że plik opisujący fonty musi mieć rozszerzenie +.fnt). +<h2> +<a NAME="skin"></a>3 The <b><tt>skin</tt></b> file</h2> +Jak wspomniano powyżej jest to plik konfigurujący skórę. Potrafi on rozpoznawać +typy wierszy: wiersze komentarza rozpoczyna średnik, czyli ';' (przed nim +mogą znajdować się tylko spacje, lub "taby") +<p>Plik podzielony jest na sekcję. Każda z nich opisuje poszczególny element +skóry dla każdej z aplikacji i ma następującą postać: +<table BORDER WIDTH="100%" > +<tr BGCOLOR="#C0C0C0"> +<td> +<pre>section = section<i> name +</i>. +. +. +end</pre> +</td> +</tr> +</table> -<p> -Every skin is installed into its own directory under one of the directories -listed above, for example: -<pre> - /usr/local/share/mplayer/Skin/default/ -</pre> +<p>Na dzień dzisiejszy istnieje tylko jedna aplikacja, więc potrzebujesz +tylko jednej sekcji: jej nazwa to <b>movieplayer</b> (odtwarzacz filmów) +<p>W tej sekcji każde z okien jest opisane poprzez dany blok w taki sposób: +<table BORDER WIDTH="100%" > +<tr BGCOLOR="#C0C0C0"> +<td> +<pre>window = <i>window name +</i>. +. +. +end</pre> +</td> +</tr> +</table> +gdzie<i> window name </i>może być jednym z następujących bloków: +<ul> +<li> +<b>main</b> - dla głównego okna</li> + +<li> +<b>sub</b> - dla okna ekranu</li> - -<h3><a name="images">2.2 Image formats</a></h3> +<li> +<b>menu</b> - dla menu skóry.</li> +</ul> +(Blok sub i menu są opcjonalne-nie musisz tworzyć menu, ani dekorować okna +ekranu jeżeli nie chcesz.) +<p>W każdym z bloków możesz zdefiniować poszczególne elementy (items) dla +danego okna w sposób przedstawiony poniżej: +<blockquote> +<pre>item = parameter</pre> +</blockquote> +Gdzie <i>item </i>jest blokiem identyfikującym typ danego elementu GUI, +<i>parametr</i> +jest numeryczną, lub tekstową wartością (lub lstą wartości oddzieloną przecinkami). +<p>Łącząc to wszystko ze sobą, uzyskujemy plik wyglądający mniej więcej +tak: +<table BORDER WIDTH="100%" > +<tr BGCOLOR="#C0C0C0"> +<td> +<pre>section = movieplayer + window = main + ; ... elementy dla okna głównego ... + end + + window = sub + ; ... elementy dla okna ekranu ... + end + + window = menu + ; ... elementy dla menu skóry ... + end +end</pre> +</td> +</tr> +</table> -Images must be truecolor (24 or 32 bpp) and can be in -BMP, PNG and TGA format (note that TGA images must be uncompressed). -<em>The preferred format is PNG as it compresses very well.</em> +<p>Na koniec kila słów o specyfice obrazków dla różnych elementów. +<br>Nazwa obrazk musi być podana bez żadnych głównych katalogów---obrazki +są poszukiwane w katalogu ze skórką.

This is the first public release of -driver.</P> + <LI>You can use standalone video output driver: <CODE>-vo xvidix</CODE><BR> + This driver was developed as X11's front end to VIDIX technology. It + requires XServer and can work only under XServer.</LI> + <LI>You can use VIDIX subdevice which was applied to several video output + drivers, such as:<BR> + <CODE>-vo vesa:vidix</CODE> and <CODE>-vo fbdev:vidix</CODE></LI> + Indeed it doesn't matter which video output driver is used with <b>VIDIX</b>. +</P> -<P><B>Installation</B></P> +<P><B><I>REQUIREMENTS</I></B></P> <P> + <LI>video card should be in graphics mode (I write <b>should</b> simply + because I tested it in text mode - it works but has awful output ;) Use + AAlib for that).<BR> + <I>Note: Everyone can try this trick by commenting out mode switching in + vo_vesa driver.</I></LI> + <LI><B>MPlayer</B>'s video output driver should know active video mode and be + able to tell to VIDIX subdevice some video characteristics of server.</LI> + I hope that probably every video output driver of <B>MPlayer</B> will + recognize <CODE>:vidix</CODE> subdevice. +</P> + +<P><B><I>USAGE METHODS</I></B></P> + +<P>When VIDIX is used as <b>subdevice</b> (<CODE>-vo vesa:vidix</CODE>) then + video mode configuration is performed by video output device + (<b>vo_server</b> in short). Therefore you can pass into command line of + <B>MPlayer</B> the same keys as for vo_server. In addition it understands + <CODE>-double</CODE> key as globally visible parameter. (I recommend using + this key with VIDIX at least for ATI's card).<BR> + As for <CODE>-vo xvidix</CODE> : currently it recognizes the following + options: <CODE>-fs -zoom -x -y -double</CODE>.<BR> +</P> + +<P>Also you can specify VIDIX's driver directly as third subargument in command + line :<BR> + <BR> + <code>mplayer -vo xvidix:mga_vid.so -fs -zoom -double + file.avi</code><BR> + or<BR> + <code>mplayer -vo vesa:vidix:radeon_vid.so -fs -zoom -double -bpp + 32 file.avi</code><BR> + <BR> + But it's dangerous, and you shouldn't do that. In this case given driver will + be forced and result is unpredictable (it may <b>freeze</b> your + computer). You should do that ONLY if you are absolutely sure it will work, + and <B>MPlayer</B> doesn't do it automatically. Please tell about it to the + developers. The Right Way is to use VIDIX without arguments to enable driver + autodetection. +</P> + +<P> + VIDIX is very new technology and it's extremely possible that on your system + (OS=abc CPU=xyz) it won't work. In this case only solution for you it's port + it (mainly libdha). But there is hope that it will work on those systems + where X11 does. +</P> + +<P>And the last <b>WARNING</b>: (un)fortunately you <b>MUST</b> have + <b>ROOT</b> privileges to use VIDIX due to direct hardware access. At least + set the <b>suid</b> bit on the <B>MPlayer</B> excecutable. +</P> + +<P><B><I>VIDEO EQUALIZER</I></B></P> + +<P> + This is a video equalizer implemented especially for Vidix. You can use + it either with <B>1-8</B> keys as described in the manpage, or + by command line arguments. <B>MPlayer</B> recognizes the + following options : +</P> + +<P> + <CODE>-brightness</CODE> - adjust <B>BRIGHTNESS</B> of video + output. It's not equal to brightness adjusting on monitor panel or on TV. It + changes intensity of RGB components of video signal from black to white + screen.<BR> + <CODE>-contrast</CODE> - adjust <B>CONTRAST</B> of video output. + Works in similar manner as brightness.<BR> + <CODE>-saturation</CODE> - adjust <B>SATURATION</B> of video + output. You can get grayscale output with this option.<BR> + <CODE>-hue</CODE> - adjust <B>HUE</B> of video signal. You can + get colored negative of image with this option.<BR> + <CODE>-red_intensity</CODE> - adjust intensity of <B>RED</B> + component of video signal.<BR> + <CODE>-green_intensity</CODE> - adjust intensity of <B>GREEN</B> + component of video signal.<BR> + <CODE>-blue_intensity</CODE> - adjust intensity of <B>BLUE</B> + component of video signal. +</P> +<P> + Each parameter can accept values from <B>-1000</B> to <B>+1000</B>.<BR> + Default value for each parameter is <B>0</B>. +</P> +<P> + <B>Note:</B> Not every driver provides support for each of those parameters. + Currently only <B>radeon_vid.so</B> provides full support for video eqalizing. + Other drivers only partly support these options. +</P> +<P><B>Examples:</B><BR> + <CODE>mplayer -vo vesa:vidix -brightness -300 -contrast 200 + filename.avi</CODE><BR> + or<BR> + <CODE>mplayer -vo xvidix -red_intensity -50 -saturation 400 -hue 300 + filename.vob</CODE> +</P> + + +<P><B><A NAME=2.3.1.16>2.3.1.16.
