    2.3.1.16. DVB

    + +

    MPlayer supports cards with the Siemens DVB chipset from vendors like +Siemens, Technotrend, Galaxis or Hauppauge. The latest DVB drivers are +available from the Linux TV site. If you +want to do software transcoding you should have at least a 1GHz CPU.

    + +

    Configure should detect your DVB card. If it did not, force detection with + +

    +  ./configure --enable-dvb
+
    + +

    If you have ost headers at a non-standard path, set the path with

    + +
    +  ./configure --with-extraincdir=<DVB source directory>/ost/include
+
    + +

    Then compile and install as usual.

    + +

    Hardware decoding (playing standard MPEG1/2 files) can be done with this +command:

    + +
    +  mplayer -ao mpegpes -vo mpegpes file.mpg|vob
+
    + +

    Software decoding or transcoding different formats to MPEG1 can be achieved +using a command like this:

    + +
    +  mplayer -ao mpegpes -vo mpegpes -vop lavc yourfile.ext
+  mplayer -ao mpegpes -vo mpegpes -vop fame,expand yourfile.ext
+
    + +

    Note that DVB cards only support heights 288 and 576 for PAL or 240 and 480 +for NTSC. You must rescale for other heights by adding +scale=width:height with the width and height you want to the +-vop option. DVB cards accept various widths, like 720, 704, 640, +512, 480, 352 etc and do hardware scaling in horizontal direction, so you do not +need to scale horizontally in most cases. For a 512x384 (aspect 4:3) DivX try:

    + +
    +  mplayer -ao mpegpes -vo mpegpes -vop lavc,scale=512:576
+
    + +

    If you have a widescreen movie and you do not want to scale it to full height, +you can use the expand=w:h plugin to add black bands. To view a +640x384 DivX, try:

    + +
    +  mplayer -ao mpegpes -vo mpegpes -vop lavc,expand=640:576 file.avi
+
    + +

    If your CPU is too slow for a full size 720x576 DivX, try downscaling:

    + +
    +  mplayer -ao mpegpes -vo mpegpes -vop lavc,scale=352:576 file.avi
+
    + +

    If speed does not improve, try vertical downscaling, too:

    + +
    +  mplayer -ao mpegpes -vo mpegpes -vop lavc,scale=352:288 file.avi
+
    + +

    For OSD and subtitles use the expand feature of the OSD plugin. So, instead +of expand=w:h or expand=w:h:x:y, use +expand=w:h:x:y:1 (the 5th parameter :1 at the end +will enable OSD rendering). You may want to move the image up a bit to get a +bigger black zone for subtitles. You may also want to move subtitles up, if they +are outside your TV screen, use the -subpos <0-100> switch to +adjust this (-subpos 80 is a good choice).

    + +

    In order to play non-25fps movies on a PAL TV or with a slow CPU, add the +-framedrop option.

    + +

    To keep the aspect ratio of DivX files and get the optimal scaling parameters +(hardware horizontal scaling and software vertical scaling while keeping the +right aspect ratio), use the new dvbscale plugin:

    + +
    +for  3:4 TV:  -vop lavc,expand=-1:576:-1:-1:1,scale=-1:0,dvbscale
+for 16:9 TV:  -vop lavc,expand=-1:576:-1:-1:1,scale=-1:0,dvbscale=1024
+
    + +

    If you have questions or want to hear feature announcements and take part in +discussions on this subject, join our +MPlayer-DVB +mailing list. Please remember that the list language is English.

    + +

    In the future you may expect the ability to display OSD and subtitles using +the native OSD feature of DVB cards, as well as more fluent playback of +non-25fps movies and realtime transcoding between MPEG2 and MPEG4 (partial +decompression).
