<P><B><A NAME=1.1>1.1. Overview</A></B></P>
|
||
|
||
<P><B>MPlayer</B> is a movie player for LINUX (runs on many other Unices, and
|
||
<B>non-x86</B> CPUs, see <A HREF="#6">section 6</A>). 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 <B>VideoCD</B>, <B>SVCD</B>, <B>DVD</B>,
|
||
<B>3ivx</B>, and even <B>DivX</B> movies too (and you don't need the avifile
|
||
library at all!). The 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, 3Dfx and Radeon) too! Most
|
||
of them supports software or hardware scaling, so you can enjoy movies in
|
||
fullscreen. <B>MPlayer</B> supports displaying through some hardware MPEG
|
||
decoder boards, such as the <B><A HREF="DVB">DVB</A></B> and <B> <A
|
||
HREF="DXR3">DXR3/Hollywood+</A></B> ! And what about the nice big antialiased
|
||
shaded subtitles (<B>10 supported types!!!</B>) with european/ISO 8859-1,2
|
||
(hungarian, english, czech, etc), cyrillic, korean fonts, and OSD?</P>
|
||
|
||
<P><B>MPlayer</B> is basically GPL, but contains some non-GPL code which is not
|
||
allowed to be distributed in binary form, and also contains the OpenDivX
|
||
library which has special license. We are still developing towards GPL.</P>
|
||
|
||
<P>Distributing <B>MPlayer</B> in the form of binaries and/or binary packages
|
||
is currently impossible, speaking about both <B>technical</B> and <B>law</B>
|
||
areas. Detailed information can be found in the second part of <A HREF="users_against_developers.html#binary">this file</A>,
|
||
and it is recommended to read it.</P>
|
||
|
||
<P>My player is rock solid playing damaged MPEG files (useful for some VCDs),
|
||
and it plays bad AVI files which are unplayable with the famous
|
||
windows media player. Even AVI files without index chunk are playable, and
|
||
you can temporarily rebuild their indexes with the -idx option, or
|
||
permanently with <B>MEncoder</B>, thus enabling seeking!
|
||
As you see, stability and quality are the most important things,
|
||
but the speed is also amazing.</P>

<P>This began a year ago...
|
||
I (A'rpi) have tried lots of players under linux (mtv,xmps,dvdview,livid/oms,videolan,
|
||
xine,xanim,avifile,xmmp) but they all have some problem. Mostly with special
|
||
files or with audio/video sync. Most of them is unable to play both MPEG1,
|
||
MPEG2 and AVI (DivX) files. Many players have image quality or speed problems
|
||
too. So I've decided to write/modify one...</P>

<LI><B>mpg12play v0.1-v0.3:</B> Sep 22-25, 2000<BR>
|

The first try, hacked together in a half hour!
|
||
I've used libmpeg3 from www.heroinewarrior.com up to the version 0.3,

<LI><B>mpg12play v0.5-v0.87:</B> Sep 28-Oct 20, 2000<BR>

Mpeg codec replaced with DVDview by Dirk Farin, it was a great stuff,
|
||
but it was slow and was written in C++ (I hate C++!!!)</LI>
|
||
<LI><B>mpg12play v0.9-v0.95pre5:</B> Oct 21-Nov 2, 2000<BR>
|

Mpeg codec was libmpeg2 (mpeg2dec) by Aaron Holtzman & Michel Lespinasse.
|

It's great, optimized very fast C code with perfect image quality and
|
||
100% MPEG standard conformance.</LI>
|

<LI><B>MPlayer v0.3-v0.9:</B> Nov 18-Dec 4, 2000<BR>

<B>NEVER</B> use 2.96 or 3.x.x !!! They generate faulty code. If you decide

to change gcc from 2.96, then don't decide in favor of 3.0 juts because

it's newer! In some ways it's even worse than 2.96. So downgrade to

2.95.x (downgrade libstdc++ too!) or don't up/downgrade at all (but in

this case, be prepared for runtime problems).

<P>Then build <B>MPlayer</B>:</P>
|
||
|
||
<PRE> ./configure
|
||
make
|
||
make install</PRE>
|
||
|
||
<P>At this point, <B>MPlayer</B> is ready to use. The directory
|
||
<CODE>/usr/local/share/mplayer</CODE> contains the <CODE>codecs.conf</CODE>
|
||
file, which is used to tell the program all the codecs and their capabilities.
|
||
This file should always be kept uptodate together with the main binary !<BR>
|
||
Check if you have codecs.conf in your home directory (~/.mplayer/codecs.conf)
|
||
left from old MPlayer versions, and remove it!</P>
|
||
|
||
<P><B>Debian users</B> can build a .deb package for themselves, it's very
|
||
simple. Just exec <CODE>fakeroot debian/rules binary</CODE> in <B>MPlayer</B>'s
|
||
root dir. Detailed instructions can be found <A HREF="documentation.html#6.1">here</A>.</P>
|
||
|
||
<P><B><I>ALWAYS browse the output of ./configure</I></B>, and the
|
||
<CODE>configure.log</CODE> file, they contain info about what will be built,
|
||
and what won't. You may also want to view config.h and config.mak files.<BR>
|
||
If you have some libs installed, but not detected by ./configure, then check
|
||
if you also have the proper header files (usually the -dev packages) and
|
||
their version matches. The configure.log usually tells you what is missing.
|
||
</P>
|
||
|
||
<P>Though not mandatory, the fonts should be installed in order to gain
|
||
OSD, and subtitle functionality. Download mp-arial-iso-8859-*.zip and/or optional
|
||
(if exists) language updates. It's VERY RECOMMENDED to check
|
||
<A HREF=#1.5>section 1.5</A> for details.</P>
|
||
|
||
<PRE> mkdir ~/.mplayer/font
|
||
cd ~/.mplayer/font

unzip mp-arial-iso-8859-1.zip</PRE>
|
||
|
||
|
||
<P><B><A NAME=1.4>1.4. What about the GUI?</A></B></P>
|
||
|
||
<P>The GUI needs GTK (it isn't GTK, but the panels are). The skins are stored
|
||
in PNG format, so gtk, libpng (and their devel stuff) has to be installed.
|
||
You can build it by specifying <CODE>--enable-gui</CODE> during ./configure .
|
||
Then, to turn on GUI mode, you either
|
||
<UL>
|
||
<LI>use the <CODE>-gui</CODE> option</LI>
|
||
<LI>specify <CODE>gui=yes</CODE> in your config file</LI>
|
||
<LI><CODE>ln -s /usr/local/bin/mplayer /usr/local/bin/gmplayer</CODE> ,
|
||
and call <CODE>gmplayer</CODE> instead.
|
||
</UL>
|
||
</P>
|
||
|
||
<P>HINT: use the middle button (on 2 button mice press left and right
|
||
simultaneously) for a popup GTK menu, with DVD playing option!</P>
|
||
|
||
<P>As <B>MPlayer</B> doesn't have a skin included, you have to download them
|
||
if you want to use the GUI. See the <A HREF="http://www.mplayerhq.hu/homepage/dload.html">download page</A>.
|
||
They should be extracted to the usual system-wide directory (<CODE>/usr/local/share/mplayer/Skin</CODE>),
|
||
or to <CODE>$HOME/.mplayer/Skin</CODE> . <B>MPlayer</B> by default looks in
|
||
these directories for a <I>default</I> named directory, but you can use the
|
||
<I>-skin newskin</I> option, or the <I>skin=newskin</I> config file
|
||
directive to use the skin in <CODE>*/Skin/newskin</CODE> directory.</P>
|
||
|
||
<P><B><A NAME=1.5>1.5. Subtitles and OSD</A></B></P>
|
||
|
||
<P>
|
||
<B>MPlayer</B> can display subtitles along with movie files. Currently the following
|
||
formats are supported:
|
||
<UL>
|
||
<LI>VobSub</LI>
|
||
<LI>Microdvd</LI>
|
||
<LI>SubRip</LI>
|

<LI>SSA</LI>
|
||
<LI>MPsub</LI>
|
||
<LI>AQTitle</LI>
|
||
</UL>
|
||
The command line options differ slightly for the different formats:
|
||
</P>
|
||
|
||
<P>
|
||
<B>VobSub subtitles</B><BR>
|
||
VobSub subtitles consist of a big (some megabytes) .SUB file, and optional
|
||
.IDX and/or .IFO files.<BR>
|
||
Usage : if you have files like <CODE>sample.sub</CODE>, <CODE>sample.ifo</CODE>,
|
||
<CODE>sample.idx</CODE> - you have to pass the <CODE>-vobsub sample -vobsubid
|
||
<id></CODE> options (optionally with pathname, of course). The
|
||
<CODE>-vobsubid</CODE> option is like <CODE>-sid</CODE> for DVDs, you can
|
||
choose between subtitle tracks (languages) with it.</P>
|
||
|
||
<P>
|
||
<B>Other subtitles</B><BR>
|
||
The other formats consist of a single text file containing timing, placement
|
||
and text information.<BR>
|
||
Usage : if you have a file like <CODE>sample.txt</CODE>, you have to pass
|
||
the option <CODE>-sub sample.txt</CODE> (optionally with pathname, of course).
|
||
</P>
|
||
|
||
<P>
|
||
<B>Adjusting subtitle timing and placement</B><BR>
|
||
|
||
<CODE>-subdelay <sec></CODE> : Delays subtitles by <sec> seconds. Can be negative.<BR>
|
||
<CODE>-subfps <rate></CODE> : Specify frame/sec rate of subtitle file (float number)<BR>
|
||
<CODE>-subpos <0 - 100></CODE> : Specify the position of subtitles.<BR>
|
||
</P>
|
||
<P>
|
||
If you experience a growing delay between the movie and the subtitles when using a MicroDVD
|
||
subtitle file, most likely the frame rate of the movie and the subtitle file are different.<BR>
|
||
Please note that the MicroDVD subtitle format uses absolute frame numbers for its
|
||
timing, and therefore the <CODE>-subfps</CODE> option cannot be used with this format. As
|
||
<B>MPlayer</B> has no way to guess the frame rate of the subtitle file, you have to manually
|
||
convert the frame rate. There is a little perl script in the <CODE>contrib</CODE> directory of
|
||
the MPlayer ftp site to do this conversion for you.</P>
|
||
|
||
<P>About DVD subtitles, read the <A HREF="cd-dvd.html#4.2">DVD section</A>.</P>
|
||
|
||
<P><B>MPlayer</B> introduces a new subtitle format called <B><I>MPsub</I></B>.
|
||
It was designed by me (Gabucino). Basically its main feature is being
|
||
<I>dynamically</I> time-based (although it has frame-based mode too). Example (from
|
||
<A HREF="http://www.mplayerhq.hu/DOCS/tech/mpsub.sub">DOCS/tech/mpsub.sub</A>) :
|
||
</P>
|
||
|
||
<P><CODE><I>
|
||
# first number : wait this much after previous subtitle disappeared<BR>
|
||
# second number : display the current subtitle for this many seconds<BR>
|
||
<BR>
|
||
15 3<BR>
|
||
A long, long time ago...<BR>
|
||
<BR>
|
||
0 3<BR>
|
||
in a galaxy far away...<BR>
|
||
<BR>
|
||
0 3<BR>
|
||
Naboo was under an attack.<BR>
|
||
</I></CODE></P>
|
||
|
||
<P>So you see, the main goal was to <B>make subtitle editing/timing/joining/cutting easy</B>. And,
|
||
if you - say - get an SSA subtitle but it's badly timed/delayed to your
|
||
version of the movie, you simply do a <I>mplayer dummy.avi -sub source.ssa
|
||
-dumpmpsub</I> . A <CODE>dump.mpsub</CODE> file will be created in the
|
||
current directory, which will contain the source subtitle's text, but in
|
||
<B>MPsub</B> format. Then you can freely add/substract seconds to/from the
|
||
subtitle.</P>
|
||
|
||
<P>Subtitles are displayed with a technique called <B>'OSD', On Screen Display</B>.
|
||
OSD is used to display current time, volume bar, seek bar etc.</P>
|
||
|
||
<P><B>INSTALLING OSD and SUB</B></P>
|
||
|
||
<P>You need an <B>MPlayer</B> font package to be able to use OSD/SUB feature.
|
||
There are many ways to get it:
|
||
<UL>
|
||
|
||
<LI>download ready-to-use font packages from <B>MPlayer</B> site.
|
||
Note: currently available fonts are limited for iso 8859-1/2 support,
|
||
but there are some other (including korean, russian, 8859-8 etc) fonts
|
||
at contrib/font section of FTP, made by users.
|
||
|
||
Font should have appropriate font.desc file which maps unicode font
|
||
positions to the actual code page of the subtitles text. Other solution
|
||
is to have subtitles encoded in utf8 encoding and use -utf8 option
|
||
or just name the subtitles file <video_name>.utf and have it in the same
|
||
dir as the video file. Recoding from different codepages to utf8 could be
|
||
done by using konwert (debian) or iconv (RedHat) programs.<BR>

|

|
||
<P>Both <B>MPlayer</B> and <B>MEncoder</B> supports using a universal
|
||
video filter layer, which comprises of numerous plugins - listed and
|
||
explained below. These plugins can perform various actions on the image,
|
||
such as rescale, crop black borders (useful not only for encoding but for
|
||
playing too, since black borders increase bus usage, and cropping these
|
||
can boost playing speed on slow boards), expand image (for SVCDs).</P>
|
||
|
||
<P>With this filter layer it's possible to perform fast image format conversion
|
||
between the various RGB and YUV when neccessary. This enables for example
|
||
playing RGB data on <CODE>xv</CODE> and <CODE>xmga</CODE> outputs, amongst
|
||
others. (see the <A HREF=#2.6.11>Scale</A> filter)</P>
|
||
|
||
<P>The layer also does <B>Direct Rendering</B> between the plugins, to
|
||
maximize the speed.
|
||
|
||
<P>Note that the postprocessing code is now also a part of the layer. It
|
||
will be explained below.</P>

|

<P>This sets up a filter pipeline (you can use any number of filters). Their
|
||
parameters are optional and if omitted, some of them are set to default
|
||
values, like <I>x and y</I> are both set to the center of the screen, and
|
||
<I>width and height</I> will be set to the movie's width and height.</P>
|
||
|
||
<P>Filters are queued starting from libvo, so <CODE>filter1</CODE> will be the

autodetected and scale filter is called to convert. In other cases, you

<P><B>MPlayer</B> utilizes a complex playtree. It consists of global options

written as first (for example <CODE>mplayer -vfm 5</CODE>), and options

written after filenames, that apply only to the given filename/URL/whatever
|
||
(for example <CODE>mplayer -vfm 5 movie1.avi movie2.avi -vfm 4</CODE>).<BR>
|
||
You can group filenames/URLs together using { and }. It's useful with
|
||
option -loop: <CODE>mplayer { 1.avi -loop 2 2.avi } -loop 3</CODE>
|
||
will play files in this order: 1 1 2 1 1 2 1 1 2<BR>

More about it at <A HREF="http://www.lirc.org">www.lirc.org</A>.</P>
|
||
|
||
<P>If you have installed the lirc-package, configure will autodetect it. If everything went fine, <B>MPlayer</B> will print a message like "Setting up lirc support..." on startup.

<P>The application name for <B>MPlayer</B> is - oh wonder - 'mplayer'.

You can use any mplayer commands and even pass more than one command by separating them with \n. Don't forget to enable the repeat flag in .lircrc when it make sense (seek, volume, etc). Here's an

<P><B><A NAME=6.2>6.2. FreeBSD</A></B></P>
|
||
|
||
<P>To build the package you will need GNU make (gmake, /usr/ports/devel/gmake),
|
||
native BSD make will not work.</P>
|
||
|
||
<P>To run <B>MPlayer</B> you will need to re-compile the kernel with
|
||
"options USER_LDT" (unless you are running -CURRENT, where this is default).
|
||
If you have a CPU with SSE also use "options CPU_ENABLE_SSE" to use it
|
||
(FreeBSD-STABLE required, or use kernel patches).</P>
|
||
|
||
<P>If <B>MPlayer</B> complains about "CD-ROM Device '/dev/cdrom' not found!" make a
|
||
symbolic link: <CODE>ln -s /dev/(your_cdrom_device) /dev/cdrom</CODE></P>
|
||
|
||
<P>There's no DVD support for FreeBSD yet.</P>
|
||
|
||
<P><B><A NAME=6.3>6.3. Solaris</A></B></P>
|
||
|
||
<P>MPlayer should work on Solaris 2.6 or newer.</P>
|
||
|
||
<P>AVI file playback works best on Solaris x86, because you have the
|
||
option to use the win32 codecs on the x86 platform, or can use MMX/MMX2/3DNow/etc
|
||
instructions for MP3/DivX/DVD/whatever. On Solaris SPARC,
|
||
you'll find quite a few AVI files with non working video and/or
|
||
audio playback, because the video/audio codecs using the Win32 DLLs
|
||
are not available. However, <B>DivX/OpenDivX</B> movies should work,
|
||
when using libavcodec.</P>
|
||
|
||
<P>On <B>UltraSPARC</B>s, <B>MPlayer</B> takes advantage of their <B>VIS</B>
|
||
extensions (equivalent to MMX), currently only in <I>libmpeg2</I>,
|
||
<I>libvo</I> and <I>libavcodec</I>, but not in mp3lib. You can watch a VOB file
|
||
on a 400Mhz CPU. You'll need <A
|
||
HREF="http://www.sun.com/sparc/vis/mediaLib.html">mLib</A> installed.</P>
|
||
|
||
<P>To build the package you will need GNU make (gmake, /opt/sfw/gmake), native
|
||
Solaris make will not work. Typical error you get when building with solaris'
|
||
make instead of GNU make:</P>
|
||
|
||
<P><PRE> % /usr/ccs/bin/make
|
||
make: Fatal error in reader: Makefile, line 25: Unexpected end of line seen</P></PRE>
|
||
|
||
<P>On Solaris SPARC, you need the GNU C/C++ Compiler; it does not matter
|
||
if GNU C/C++ compiler is configured with or without the GNU assembler.</P>
|
||
|
||
<P>On Solaris x86, you need the GNU assembler and the GNU C/C++
|
||
compiler, configured to use the GNU assembler! The mplayer code on
|
||
the x86 platform makes heavy use of MMX, SSE and 3DNOW!
|
||
instructions that cannot be compiled using Sun's assembler
|
||
<CODE>/usr/ccs/bin/as</CODE>.</P>
|
||
|
||
<P>The configure script tries to find out, which assembler program is
|
||
used by your "gcc" command (in case the autodetection fails, use
|
||
the "--as=/whereever/you/have/installed/gnu-as" option to tell the
|
||
configure script where it can find GNU "as" on your system).</P>
|
||
|
||
<P>Error message from configure on a Solaris x86 system using GCC
|
||
without GNU assembler:</P>
|
||
|
||
<P><PRE> % configure

||
Please upgrade(downgrade) binutils to 2.10.1...</PRE></P>
|
||
|
||
<P>(Solution: Install and use a gcc configured with "--with-as=gas")</P>
|
||
|
||
<P>Typical error you get when building with a GNU C compiler that does
|

not use GNU as:</P>

|

|

<P>Due to two bugs in solaris 8 x86, you cannot reliably play DVDs using a
|
||
capacity >4GB:</P>
|
||
|
||
<P><UL><LI>The sd(7D) driver on solaris 8 x86 driver has bug when accessing a
|
||
disk block >4GB on a device using a logical blocksize != DEV_BSIZE
|
||
(i.e. CDROM and DVD media). Due to a 32bit int overflow, a disk
|
||
address modulo 4GB is accessed.

||
(<A HREF="http://groups.yahoo.com/group/solarisonintel/message/22516">http://groups.yahoo.com/group/solarisonintel/message/22516</A>)
|

|

<LI>The similar bug is present in the hsfs(7FS) filesystem code (aka
|
||
ISO9660), hsfs currently does not support partitions/disks >4GB,
|
||
all data is accessed modulo 4GB

|
||
|
||
<P>On Solaris with an UltraSPARC CPU, you can get some extra speed by
|
||
using the CPU's VIS instructions for certain time consuming operations.
|
||
VIS acceleration can be used in MPlayer by calling functions in Sun's
|
||
<A HREF="http://www.sun.com/sparc/vis/mediaLib.html">mediaLib</A>.</P>
|
||
|
||
<P>VIS accelerated operations from mediaLib are used for mpeg2 video
|
||
decoding and for color space conversion in the video output drivers.</P>

<P><B><A NAME=6.5>6.5. Silicon Graphics Indigo / IRIX</A></B></P>

<P>Reported working. You'll probably have to use the <I>sgi</I> ao driver.
|

Anyone has closer info?</P>
|
||
|
||
|
||
<P><B><A NAME=6.6>6.6. QNX</A></B></P>
|
||
|
||
<P>Works. You'll need to download SDL for QNX, and install it. Then run
|
||
<B>MPlayer</B> with <CODE>-vo sdl:photon</CODE> and <CODE>-ao sdl:nto</CODE>
|
||
options, and it should be fast.</P>
|
||
|
||
<P>The <CODE>-vo x11</CODE> output will be even slower than on Linux, since
|
||
QNX has only X <I>emulation</I> which is VERY slow. Use SDL.</P>
|
||
|
||
|
||
<P><B><A NAME=6.7>6.7. OpenBSD</A></B></P>
|
||
|
||
<P>To build the package you will need GNU make (gmake,
|
||
/usr/ports/devel/gmake), native BSD make will not work, and a recent
|
||
binutils (including objcopy).</P>
|
||
|
||
<P>Due to limitations in different versions of gas (relocation vs mmx),
|
||
you'll need to compile in two steps: First make sure that the
|
||
non-native as is first in PATH and do a '<CODE>gmake -k</CODE>', then make sure
|
||
that the native version is used and do '<CODE>gmake</CODE>'.</P>
|
||
|
||
<P>To use Win32 DLLs with <B>MPlayer</B> you will need to re-compile the
|
||
kernel with "<CODE>option USER_LDT</CODE>".</P>
|
||
|
||
<P>If <B>MPlayer</B> complains about not finding '/dev/cdrom' or
|
||
'/dev/dvd' make a symbolic link, eg <CODE>ln -s

/dev/rcd0c /dev/dvd</CODE></P>

<LI>SIGILL (signal 4) on P3 using 2.2.x kernels:<BR>
|
||
Problem: kernel 2.2.x doesn't have proper (working) SSE support<BR>
|
||
Solution: upgrade kernel to 2.4.x<BR>
|
||
Workaround: ./configure --disable-sse</LI>
|
||
|
||
<LI>General SIGILL (signal 4):<BR>
|
||
Problem: you compiled and run mplayer in different machines
|
||
(for example compiled on P3 and running on celeron)<BR>
|
||
Solution: compile MPlayer on the same machine where you will use it!<BR>
|
||
Workaround: ./configure --disable-sse etc. options</LI>
|
||
|
||
<LI>"Internal buffer inconsistency" during MEncoder run:<BR>
|
||
Problem: known problem when lame was compiled with gcc 2.96 or 3.x, no fix
|
||
yet.<BR>
|
||
Workaround: compile lame with gcc 2.95. Be sure to remove any installed
|
||
lame packages, they may have been compiled with gcc 2.96 .</LI>
|
||
|
||
<LI>Messed up MP2/MP3 sound on PPC:<BR>
|
||
Problem: known GCC miscompilation bug on PPC platforms, no fix yet.<BR>
|
||
Workaround: use FFmpeg's (slow) MP1/MP2/MP3 decoder (<CODE>-ac ffmpeg</CODE>)</LI>
|
||
|
||
<LI>sig11 in libmpeg2, when scaling+encoding:<BR>
|
||
Problem: known GCC 2.95.2 MMX bug, upgrade to 2.95.3.</LI>
|
||
</UL>
|
||
|
||
<P>Various A-V sync and other audio problems:</P>
|
||
|
||
General audio delay or jerky sound (exists with all or many files):<BR>
|
||
<UL>
|
||
<LI>most common: buggy audio driver! - try to use different drivers, try
|
||
ALSA 0.9 OSS emulation with -ao oss, also try -ao sdl, sometimes it helps.
|
||
If your file plays fine with -nosound, then you can eb sure it's soundcard
|
||
(driver) problem.</LI>
|
||
<LI>audio buffer problems (buffer size badly detected)<BR>
|
||
Workaround: mplayer -abs option</LI>
|
||
<LI>samplerate problems - maybe your card doesn't support the samplerate
|
||
used in your files - try the resampling plugin (-aop)</LI>
|
||
<LI>slow machine (cpu or vga)<BR>
|
||
try with -vo null, if it plays well, then you have slow VGA card/driver<BR>
|
||
Workaround: buy a faster card or read this documentation about how to speed up<BR>
|
||
Also try -framedrop</LI>
|
||
</UL><BR>
|
||
|
||
Audio delay/de-sync specific to one or a few files:<BR>
|
||
<UL>
|
||
<LI>bad file<BR>
|
||
Workaround:
|
||
<UL>
|
||
<LI>-ni or -nobps option (for non-interleaved or bad files)</LI>
|
||
and/or
|
||
<LI>-mc 0 (required for files with badly interleaved VBR audio)</LI>
|
||
and/or
|
||
<LI>-delay option or +/- keys at runtime to adjust delay</LI>
|
||
</UL>
|
||
If none of these help, please upload the file, we'll check (and fix).
|
||
<LI>your soundcard doesn't support 48Khz playback<BR>
|
||
Workaround: buy a better soundcard... or try to decrease fps by 10% (use -fps 27 for a 30fps movie)
|
||
or use the resampler plugin</LI>
|
||
<LI>slow machine<BR>
|
||
(if A-V is not around 0, and the last number in the status line increasing)<BR>
|
||
Workaround: -framedrop</LI>
|
||
</UL><BR>
|
||
|
||
No sound at all:<BR>
|
||
<UL>
|
||
<LI>your file uses an unsupported audio codec<BR>
|
||
Workaround: read the documentation and help us adding support for it</LI>
|
||
</UL>
|
||
|
||
No picture at all (just plain grey/green window):<BR>
|
||
<UL>
|
||
<LI>your file uses an unsupported video codec<BR>
|
||
Workaround: read the documentation and help us adding support for it</LI>
|
||
<LI>auto-selected codec can't decode the file, try to select another using -vc or -vfm options</LI>
|
||
<LI>you try to play DivX 3.x file with opendivx decoder or XviD (-vc odivx) - install Divx4Linux and recompile player</LI>
|
||
</UL>
|
||
|
||
<P>Video-out problems:</P>
|
||
|
||
<P>First note: options -fs -vm and -zoom are just recommendations, not (yet)
|
||
supported by all drivers. So it isn't a bug if it doesn't work.
|
||
Only a few driver supports scaling/zooming, don't expect this from x11 or dga.</P>
|
||
|
||
<P>OSD/sub flickering:<BR>
|
||
- x11 driver: sorry, it can't be fixed now<BR>
|
||
- xv driver: use -double option</P>
|
||
|
||
<P>Green image using mga_vid (-vo mga / -vo xmga):<BR>
|
||
- mga_vid missdetected your card's RAM amount, reload it using mga_ram_size option<BR>
|
||
