<H1><A NAME="reading">0. How to read this documentation</A></H1>
|
||
|
||
<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 Table of Contents and
|
||
search for the topic, read the <A HREF="faq.html">FAQ</A>, or try grepping
|
||
through 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 :) And for another good advice, let me quote
|
||
Chris Phillips from the
|
||
<A HREF="http://mplayerhq.hu/pipermail/mplayer-users/">mplayer-users</A>
|
||
mailing list:</P>

|

I said a while ago that there is such a difference between a newbie and
|
||
a dumbass. No matter what you actually know about a system (linux, cars,
|
||
girls :D) you should ALWAYS be able to take a step back and be objective,
|
||
otherwise, you're just dumb IMHO. A girl i live with assumed the vacuum
|
||
cleaner was broken because it didn't suck things up. never thought to change
|
||
the bag, becasue she'd never done it before... now that's just stupid, not a
|
||
case of simply not knowing what to do... Simply not being that familiar with
|
||
your surroundings is no excuse for a) laziness and b) ignorance. So many
|
||
people seem to see the word "error" and then stop... few seem to actually
|
||
read the words on the OTHER side of the colon.

<P><B>MPlayer</B> is a movie player for LINUX (runs on many other Unices, and
|
||
<B>non-x86</B> CPUs, see the <A HREF="#ports">ports section</A>). It plays most
|
||
MPEG, VOB, AVI, OGG, VIVO, ASF/WMV, QT/MOV, FLI, RM, NuppelVideo, yuv4mpeg,
|
||
FILM, RoQ files, supported by many native, XAnim, RealPlayer, and

Win32 DLL codecs. You can watch <B>VideoCD</B>, <B>SVCD</B>, <B>DVD</B>,
|
||
<B>3ivx</B>, <B>RealMedia</B>, and <B>DivX</B> movies too (and you don't need
|

the avifile

library at all!). Another big feature of <B>MPlayer</B> is the wide range of

<P>The player is rock solid playing damaged MPEG files (useful for some VCDs),

windows media player. Even AVI files without index chunk are playable, and
|

you can temporarily rebuild their indexes with the <CODE>-idx</CODE> option, or
|

permanently with <B>MEncoder</B>, thus enabling seeking!

<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>

<P>In this chapter I'll try to guide you through the compiling and

configuring process of <B>MPlayer</B>. It's not easy, but it won't necessarily
|

be hard. If you experience a different behavior than what I explain, please
|

search through this documentation and you'll find your answers. If you
|
||
see links, please follow them and read carefully what they contain. It
|

will take some time, but it DOES worth it.</P>
|
||
|

<P>You need a fairly recent system. On Linux, 2.4.x kernels are recommended.</P>

<H4>Software requirements:</H4>
|
||
|
||
<UL>
|
||
<LI><B>binutils</B> - suggested version is <B>2.11.x</B> . This program is
|
||
responsible for generating MMX/3DNow!/etc instructions, thus very important.</LI>
|
||
<LI><B>gcc</B> - suggested versions are: <B>2.95.3</B>, <B>2.95.4</B> and <B>3.1</B>.
|
||
<B>NEVER</B> use 2.96 or 3.0.x! They generate faulty code for MPlayer.
|
||
If you decide to change gcc from 2.96, then don't decide in favor of 3.0.x
|
||
just because it's newer! Early releases of 3.0.x were even more buggy than
|
||
2.96. So downgrade to 2.95.x (downgrade libstdc++ too, other programs may
|
||
need it) or don't up/downgrade at all (but in this case, be prepared for
|
||
runtime problems). If you vote for 3.x.x, try to use the latest version,
|
||
early releases had various bugs, so be sure you use at least 3.1, it's
|
||
tested and working. For detailed information about gcc 2.96's bugs (that are
|
||
still NOT fixed, they have been WORKED AROUND in <B>MPlayer</B>!), see the

usually isn't important.</LI>

<LI><B>SDL</B> - it's not mandatory, but can help in some cases (bad audio,

video cards that lag strangely with the xv driver). Always use the newest

<B>MPlayer</B> can display subtitles along with movie files. Currently the following

|

|
||
The command line options differ slightly for the different formats:
|
||
|
||
<H4>VobSub subtitles</H4>
|
||
|
||
<P>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>
|
||
|
||
<H4>Other subtitles</H4>
|
||
|
||
<P>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>
|

</DL>
|
||
|
||
<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>

<H3><A NAME="mpsub">1.4.1 MPlayer's own subtitle format (MPsub)</A></H3>
|
||
|
||
<P><B>MPlayer</B> introduces a new subtitle format called <B>MPsub</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="tech/mpsub.sub">DOCS/tech/mpsub.sub</A>):</P>
|
||
|
||
<P><CODE><I># first number : wait this much after previous subtitle disappeared<BR>

|
||
|
||
<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 <CODE>mplayer dummy.avi -sub source.ssa -dumpmpsub</CODE>.
|
||
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/subtract 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>
|
||
|
||
<H3><A NAME="install_osd">1.4.2 Installing OSD and subtitles</A></H3>
|
||
|
||
<P>You need an <B>MPlayer</B> font package to be able to use OSD/SUB feature.
|
||
There are many ways to get it:</P>
|
||
|
||
<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.<BR>
|
||
<BR>
|
||
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 <CODE>-utf8</CODE>
|
||
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 (Red Hat)
|
||
programs.<BR>

<H2><A NAME="rtc">1.5 RTC</A></H2>
|
||
|
||
There are three timing methods in <B>MPlayer</B>.
|
||
|
||
<UL>
|
||
<LI><B>To use the old method</B>, you don't have to do anything. It uses
|
||
<CODE>usleep()</CODE> to tune A/V sync, with +/- 10ms accuracy. However
|
||
sometimes the sync has to be tuned even finer.</LI>
|
||
<LI><B>The new timer</B> code uses PC's RTC (Real Time Clock) for this task,
|
||
because it has precise 1ms timers. It is automagically enabled when
|
||
available, but requires root privileges, a <I>setuid root</I>
|
||
<B>MPlayer</B> binary or a properly set up kernel.
|
||
<BR>
|
||
If you are running kernel 2.4.19pre8 or later you can adjust the maximum
|
||
RTC frequency for normal users through the <CODE>/proc</CODE> filesystem.
|
||
Use this command to enable RTC for normal users:
|
||
<P>
|
||
<CODE>echo 1024 > /proc/sys/dev/rtc/max-user-freq</CODE>
|
||
</P>
|
||
If you do not have such a new kernel, you can also change one line in
|
||
<CODE>drivers/char/rtc.c</CODE> and recompile your kernel. Find the
|
||
section that reads
|
||
<PRE>
|
||
* We don't really want Joe User enabling more
|
||
* than 64Hz of interrupts on a multi-user machine.
|
||
*/
|
||
if ((rtc_freq > 64) && (!capable(CAP_SYS_RESOURCE)))
|
||
</PRE>
|
||
and change the 64 to 1024. You should really know what you are doing, though.
|
||
<BR>
|
||
You can see the new timer's efficiency in the status line.
|
||
<BR>
|
||
The power management functions of some notebook BIOSes with speedstep CPUs
|
||
interact badly with RTC. Audio and video may get out of sync. Plugging the
|
||
external power connector in before you power up your notebook seems to help.
|
||
You can always turn off RTC support with the <CODE>-nortc</CODE> switch.
|
||
In some hardware combinations (confirmed during usage of non-DMA DVD
|
||
drive on an ALi1541 board) usage of the RTC timer causes skippy playback.
|
||
It's recommended to use the third method in these cases.</LI>
|
||
<LI><B>The third timer code</B> is turned on with the <CODE>-softsleep</CODE>
|
||
option. It has the efficiency of the RTC, but it doesn't use RTC. On the other
|
||
hand, it requires more CPU.</LI>
|
||
</UL>

<P>Linux Infrared Remote Control - use an easy to build home-brewn IR-receiver,

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. If an error occurs it will tell you. If it

doesn't tell you anything about LIRC there's no support compiled in. That's

it :-)</P>

<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

native BSD make will not work.</P>
|

|

<P>To run <B>MPlayer</B> you will need to re-compile the kernel with

|

|

<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 Colaris 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>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
|
||
<CODE>--as=/whereever/you/have/installed/gnu-as</CODE> option to tell the
|
||
configure script where it can find GNU "as" on your system).</P>

|

|
||
<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>

<H2><A NAME="strongarm">6.4 StrongARM</A></H2>
|
||
|
||
<P><B>MPlayer</B> is reported to compile on StrongARM. Use the following command line:</P>
|
||
|
||
<PRE>
|
||
./configure --target=arm-linux --disable-css --with-x11libdir=/usr/arm/lib
|
||
--with-x11incdir=/usr/arm/lib --disable-gcc-checking
|
||
</PRE>
|
||
|
||
|
||
<H2><A NAME="sgi">6.5 Silicon Graphics / IRIX</A></H2>
|
||
|
||
<P>Reported working. You'll probably have to use the <I>SGI</I> ao driver.
|
||
Anyone has closer info?</P>
|
||
|
||
|
||
<H2><A NAME="qnx">6.6 QNX</A></H2>
|
||
|
||
<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>
|
||
|
||
|
||
<H2><A NAME="openbsd">6.7 OpenBSD</A></H2>
|
||
|
||
<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, e.g. <CODE>ln -s
|
||
/dev/rcd0c /dev/dvd</CODE></P>
|
||
|
||
<P>The not so hardcore hackers amongst us might want to use the ports
|
||
version (/usr/ports/x11/mplayer).</P>
|
||
|
||
|
||
<H2><A NAME="cygwin">6.8. Cygwin</A></H2>
|
||
|
||
<P>You will have to go to the <B>MPlayer</B> directory, and copy or symlink
|
||
<CODE>etc/cygwin_inttypes.h</CODE> to <CODE>/usr/include/inttypes.h</CODE> to
|
||
make <B>MPlayer</B> compile. Otherwise it will complain about missing
|
||
<CODE>intypes.h</CODE>.</P>

|
||
Problem: known problem when lame < 3.90 was compiled with gcc 2.96 or 3.x.<BR>
|
||
Solution: use lame >=3.90.<BR>
|
||
Workaround: compile lame with gcc 2.95.x and remove any already 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>
|

<P>Various A-V sync and other audio problems:</P>
|
||
|
||
General audio delay or jerky sound (exists with all or many files):
|
||
<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 be sure it's sound card
|
||
(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>
|
||
|
||
Audio delay/de-sync specific to one or a few files:
|
||
<UL>
|
||
<LI>bad file<BR>
|
||
Workaround:
|
||
<UL>
|
||
<LI>-ni or -nobps option (for non-interleaved or bad files)<BR>
|
||
and/or</LI>
|
||
<LI>-mc 0 (required for files with badly interleaved VBR audio)<BR>
|
||
and/or</LI>
|
||
<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>
|
||
<LI>your sound card doesn't support 48kHz playback<BR>
|
||
Workaround: buy a better sound card... 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>
|
||
|
||
No sound at all:
|
||
<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):
|
||
<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 misdetected your card's RAM amount, reload it using mga_ram_size option</P>
