|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
2. Compile mplayer:
|
|
|
|
|
./configure should detect it. If didn't, force with ./configure --enable-dvb
|
|
|
|
|
If you have ost headers at non-standard path, set it with:
|
2001-10-06 15:11:17 +00:00
|
|
|
--with-extraincdir=<your DVB source dir>/ost/include
|
|
|

How to use?
|
|
|
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~
|
2001-09-22 19:33:26 +00:00
|
|
|
To play standard mpeg 1/2 files: (hardware decoding)
|
|
|
|
|
|
2002-04-14 19:18:34 +00:00
|
|
|
mplayer -ao mpegpes -vo mpegpes file.mpg|vob
|
2001-09-22 19:33:26 +00:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
To play non-standard mpeg files: (software decoding)
|
|
|
|
|
|
2002-04-14 19:18:34 +00:00
|
|
|
mplayer -ao mpegpes -vo mpegpes -vc mpeg12 file.mpg|vob
|
2001-09-22 19:33:26 +00:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
To play divx files:
|
|
|
|
|
|
2002-04-14 19:18:34 +00:00
|
|
|
mplayer -ao mpegpes -vo mpegpes file.avi|asf|mov...
|
2001-09-22 19:33:26 +00:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
To play non-25fps movies, or with slow CPU, add option: -framedrop
|
|
|
|
|
|
2001-09-25 19:58:11 +00:00
|
|
|
Image size:
|
|
|
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
|
DVB card allows only 2 vertical resolutions: 288 and 576.
|
|
|
|
|
If your video height differs, you have to clip it or extend by adding
|
|
|
|
|
black bands. It's done by mplayer, just specify image size using the
|
|
|
|
|
-x and -y options. You must use either -y 288 or -y 576.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2001-09-25 20:48:45 +00:00
|
|
|
To force pan&scan (16:9 at 4:3 TV), add options: -x 352 -y 288
|
2001-09-22 19:33:26 +00:00
|
|
|
|
2002-04-14 19:18:34 +00:00
|
|
|
If you have powerfull CPU, you can also scale image up, using the
|
|
|
|
|
swscale filter. For example, to watch a 640x288 video fullscreen,
|
|
|
|
|
use -vop scale=640:400
|
|
|
|
|
Note that you don't have to scale horizontally, the card will do it
|
|
|
|
|
by hardware, but you have to scale vertically keeping the aspect ratio.

Future plans/TODO:
|
|
|
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- display OSD and subtitles using DVB card's OSD feature
|
|
|
|
|
- better (more fluent) playback of non-25fps movies
|
|
|
|
|
- realtime transcoding between mpeg2 <-> mpeg4 (partial decompression)
|
2002-04-14 19:18:34 +00:00
|
|
|
- better quality for lowres mpeg1
