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][changes].

|
Compilation
|
|
-----------
|
|
|
|
Compiling with full features requires development files for several
|
|
external libraries. Below is a list of some important requirements. For
|
|
more information see the output of `./configure --help` for a list of options,
|
|
or look at the list of enabled and disabled features printed after running
|
|
`./configure`. If you think you have support for some feature installed
|
|
but configure fails to detect it, the file `config.log` may contain
|
|
information about the reasons for the failure.
|
|
|
|
Essential dependencies (incomplete list):
|
|
|
|
- gcc or clang
|
|
- X development headers (xlib, X extensions, libvdpau, libGL, libXv, ...)
|
|
- Audio output development headers (libasound, pulseaudio)
|
|
- fribidi, freetype, fontconfig development headers (for libass)
|
|
- libass
|
|
- FFmpeg libraries (libavutil libavcodec libavformat libswscale libpostproc)
|
|
- libjpeg
|
|
- libquvi if you want to play Youtube videos directly
|
|
- libx264/libmp3lame/libfdk-aac if you want to use encoding (has to be
|
|
explicitly enabled when compiling ffmpeg)
|
|
|
|
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][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][homebrew-mpv], an up
|
|
to date formula that compiles mpv with sensible dependencies and defaults for
|
|
OSX.
|
|
|
|
### configure `--enable-*` parameters
|
|
|
|
The `--enable-*` parameters unconditionally force options on, completely
|
|
skipping autodetection. This behavior is unlike what you may be used to from
|
|
autoconf-based configure scripts that can decide to override you. This greater
|
|
level of control comes at a price. You may have to provide the correct compiler
|
|
and linker flags yourself.
|
|
|
|
If you used one of these options and experience a compilation or
|
|
linking failure, make sure you have passed the necessary compiler/linker flags
|
|
to configure.
|
|
|
|
mpv's configure script is greedy and automatically enables features as a result
|
|
of autodetection. The cases where you may want to use `--enable-*` are very
|
|
limited.

Bug reports
|
|
-----------
|
|
|
|
Please use the [issue tracker][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][issue-tracker]
|
|
instead.
