<P><B><A NAME=0>0. How to read this documentation</A></B></P>
|
||
|
||
<P>If you are a first-time installer: be sure to read everything from here to
|
||
the end of the Installation section, and follow the links you will find. If
|
||
you have any other questions, return to the TOC (Table of Contents) and
|
||
search for the topic, read the FAQ, or try grepping though the files.</P>
|
||
|
||
<P>The main rule of this documentation: if it's not documented, it
|
||
<U>does not exist</U>. If I don't say you encode audio from TV tuner, you
|
||
can't. A healthy quantity of combining ability is welcomed, though.
|
||
Good luck. You'll need it :)</P>

|

<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 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>I didn't write any codecs, just some players. I spent
|
||
a lot of time finding the best way to parse bad damaged input files
|
||
(both MPEG and AVI) and to do perfect A-V sync with seeking ability.
|
||
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 rebuild their indexes with the -idx option, thus enabling seeking!
|
||
As you see, stability and quality are the most important things for me,
|
||
but the speed is also amazing.</P>
|
||
|
||
<P><B><A NAME=1.2>1.2. History</A></B></P>
|
||
|
||
<P>This began a year ago...
|
||
I've 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>
|
||
|
||
<P><UL>
|
||
<LI><B>mpg12play v0.1-v0.3:</B><BR>
|
||
The first try, hacked together in a half hour!
|
||
I've used libmpeg3 from www.heroinewarrior.com up to the version 0.3,
|
||
but there were image quality and speed problems with it.</LI>
|
||
<LI><B>mpg12play v0.5-v0.87:</B><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>MPlayer 0.18 "The BugCounter"</B><BR>
|
||
2 months since 0.17 and here's a new release.. Completed ASF support,
|

more subtitle formats, introduced libao (similar to libvo but to audio),
|
||
even more stable than ever, and so on. It's a MUST !</LI>
|
||
<LI><B>MPlayer 0.50 "The Faszom(C)ounter"</B><BR>
|
||
Hmm. Release again. Tons of new features, beta GUI version, bugs fixed,

even finer. The new timer code uses PC's RTC (Real Time Clock) for this task,

<P>As <B>MPlayer</B> doesn't have a skin included, you have to download them

|
||
They should be extracted to the usual system-wide directory (<CODE>/usr/local/share/mplayer/Skin</CODE>),

<P><B><A NAME=1.5>1.5. Subtitles and OSD</A></B></P>

<P>Yes, <B>MPlayer</B> also supports many kinds of subtitles. Currently
|
||
10 kinds of subtitle can be used by the subreader code. To see what are
|
||
these subtitle formats, see subreader.c, line ~30.</P>
|
||
|
||
<P><B>MPlayer</B> supports VobSub subtitles. VobSub subtitles consist of
|
||
a big (some megabytes) .SUB file, an .IDX file, and/or an .IFO file.
|
||
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
|
||
0</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>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,
|
||
and there are a few special versions for korean, russian etc codepages.
|
||
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

<LI>first, you have to recompile. <CODE>./configure</CODE> will autodetect kernel headers

TV support will be built (see configure's output!).</LI>

<P><B>Hint</B> : are the colors messed up? Then your tuner can't display

You can specify these with the <CODE>outfmt=YV12</CODE> option see below.</P>

<P>Playing goes by simply using adding the URL to the command line. <B>MPlayer</B>

also honours the HTTP_PROXY environment variable, and uses proxy if available.

<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
|
||
...
|
||
Checking assembler (/usr/ccs/bin/as) ... , failed
|
||
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>For DVD support you must have the patched libcss installed. Patch:

<A HREF="http://www.tools.de/solaris/mplayer/">http://www.tools.de/solaris/mplayer/</A>.</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>

<UL>

<LI> SIGILL (signal 4) in draw_frame, on P3 (mostly with 2.2.x kernels):<BR>
|
||
Problem: movups is crashing in libvo/fastmemcpy.h<BR>
|
||
Workaround: ./configure --disable-fastmemcpy<BR>
|
||
SOLVED: disabled SSE code in fastmemcpy.h ;(</LI>
|
||
|
||
<LI>No image (black image) in RGB 15/16bpp (x11,dga,fbdev,svga) playing
|
||
MPEG or OpenDivX files:<BR>
|
||
Problem: gcc 2.96 bug, read <A HREF="gcc-2.96-3.0.html">this</A><BR>
|
||
Workaround: ./configure --disable-mmx, or use gcc 2.95.x<BR>
|
||
SOLVED: code fixed</LI>
|
||
|
||
<LI>SIGILL (signal 4) or other fault at loading l3codeca.acm:<BR>
|
||
Problem: shared libs are loaded to 0x00xxxxxx instead of 0x40xxxxxx<BR>
|
||
Workaround: mplayer -afm 1 ...<BR>
|
||
SOLVED: you are using some security kernel patch, like OpenWall etc.</LI>
|
||
|
||
<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 gcc 2.96 bug, no fix yet. If you have gcc 2.95, you
|
||
have a libmp3lame library that was compiled with gcc 2.96 (installed from
|
||
a deb/rpm package?). Check which lib does MEncoder found : ldd mencoder.</LI>

<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>
