Information about individual chapters was printed during demuxer
opening phase, and total chapter count (ID_CHAPTERS) was printed
according to mpctx->demuxer->num_chapters. When playing a file with
ordered chapters, this meant that chapter information about every
source file was printed individually (even though only the chapters
from the first file would be used for playback) and the total chapter
count could be wrong. Remove the printing of chapter information from
the demuxer layer and print the chapter information and count actually
used for playback in core print_file_properties().
Also somewhat simplify the internal chapters API and remove possible
inconsistencies.
Compiling with full features requires development files for several
external libraries. Below is a list of some important requirements. For
more information see the output of './configure --help' for a list of options,
or look at the list of enabled and disabled features printed after running
'./configure'. If you think you have support for some feature installed
but configure fails to detect it, the file config.log may contain information
about the reasons for the failure.
Libraries specific to particular video output methods
(you'll want at least one of VDPAU, GL or Xv):
- libvdpau (for VDPAU output, best choice for NVIDIA cards)
- libGL (OpenGL output)
- libXv (XVideo output)
general:
- libasound (ALSA audio output)
- various general X development libraries
- libfreetype
- libfontconfig
- libass
- FFmpeg libraries (libavutil libavcodec libavformat libswscale libpostproc)
Most of the above libraries are available in suitable versions on normal
Linux distributions. However FFmpeg is an exception (distro versions may be
too old to work at all or work well). For that reason you may want to use
the separately available build wrapper that first compiles FFmpeg libraries
and libass, and then compiles the player statically linked against those.
