Command line video player
This didn't work properly for HTTP with libavformat. The builtin HTTP implementation reconnects automatically on its own, while libavformat doesn't. Fix this by adding explicit reconnection support to stream_lavf.c, which simply destroys and recreates the AVIO context. It mostly works, though sometimes it mysteriously fails, spamming crap all over the terminal and feeding broken data to the decoders. This is probably due to itneractions with the cache. Also, reconnecting to unseekable HTTP streams will make it read the entire stream until the previous playback position is reached again. It's not known whether this change makes behavior with "strange" protocols like RTP better or worse. |

mpv ### 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. 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 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_) 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. Bug reports =========== Please use the `issues 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 ======== You can find us on IRC in ``#mpv-player`` on ``irc.freenode.net`` .. _changes: https://github.com/mpv-player/mpv/blob/master/DOCS/man/en/changes.rst .. _mpv-build: https://github.com/mpv-player/mpv-build .. _homebrew-mpv: https://github.com/mpv-player/homebrew-mpv .. _issues tracker: https://github.com/mpv-player/mpv/issues
