wm4 44096073e9 vf_rotate: support all multiples of 90 degrees
This couldn't rotate by 180°. Add this, and also make the parameter in
degrees, instead of magic numbers.

For now, drop the flipping stuff. You can still flip with --vf=flip or
--vf=mirror. Drop the landscape/portrait stuff - I think this is
something almost nobody will use. If it turns out that we need some of
these things, they can be readded later.

Make it use libavfilter. Its vf_transpose implementation looks pretty
simple, except that it uses slice threading and should be much faster.

mpv

Build Status

Overview

mpv is a movie player based on MPlayer and mplayer2. It supports a wide variety of video file formats, audio and video codecs, and subtitle types.

If you are wondering what's different from mplayer2 and MPlayer you can read more about the changes.

Compilation

Compiling with full features requires development files for several external libraries. Below is a list of some important requirements.

The mpv build system uses waf but we don't store it in your source tree. The script './bootstrap.py' will download the latest version of waf that was tested with the build system.

For a list of the available build options use ./waf configure --help. If you think you have support for some feature installed but configure fails to detect it, the file build/config.log may contain information about the reasons for the failure.

NOTE: To avoid cluttering the output with unreadable spam, --help only shows one of the two switches for each option. If the option is autodetected by default, the --disable-*** switch is printed; if the option is disabled by default, the --enable-*** switch is printed. Either way, you can use --enable-*** or --disable-** regardless of what is printed by --help.

To build the software you can use ./waf build: the result of the compilation will be located in build/mpv. You can use ./waf install to install mpv to the prefix after it is compiled.

NOTE: Using the old build system (with ./old-configure) should still work, but will be removed in a future version of mpv.

Essential dependencies (incomplete list):

  • gcc or clang
  • X development headers (xlib, X extensions, libvdpau, libGL, libXv, ...)
  • Audio output development headers (libasound, pulseaudio)
  • FFmpeg libraries (libavutil libavcodec libavformat libswscale libavresample) At least FFmpeg 2.1.4 or Libav 10 is required.
  • libjpeg (for screenshots)
  • libquvi if you want to play Youtube videos directly

Libass dependencies:

  • gcc or clang, yasm on x86 and x86_64
  • fribidi, freetype, fontconfig development headers (for libass)

FFmpeg dependencies:

  • gcc or clang, yasm on x86 and x86_64
  • OpenSSL (has to be explicitly enabled when compiling ffmpeg)
  • libx264/libmp3lame/libfdk-aac if you want to use encoding (has to be explicitly enabled when compiling ffmpeg)
  • Libav also works, but some features will not work. (See section below.)

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 (mpv-build) that first compiles FFmpeg libraries and libass, and then compiles the player statically linked against those.

If you are running Mac OSX and using homebrew we provide homebrew-mpv, an up to date formula that compiles mpv with sensible dependencies and defaults for OSX.

FFmpeg vs. Libav

Generally, mpv should work with the latest release as well as the git version of both FFmpeg and Libav. But FFmpeg is preferred, and some mpv features work with FFmpeg only. See the wiki article about the issue.

Bug reports

Please use the issue tracker provided by GitHub to send us bug reports or feature requests.

Contributing

For small changes you can just send us pull requests through GitHub. For bigger changes come and talk to us on IRC before you start working on them. It will make code review easier for both parties later on.

Contacts

These forms of contact are meant to ask questions about mpv usage, give feedback on mpv and discuss it's development.

If possible, please avoid posting bugs here and use the issue tracker instead.
