The main development platform is Linux on x86, although
|
|
<application>MPlayer</application> works on many other Linux ports.
|
|
Binary packages of <application>MPlayer</application> are available from several
|
|
sources. However, <emphasis role="bold">none of these packages are supported</emphasis>.
|
|
Report problems to the authors, not to us.

<para>
|
|
To build a Debian package, run the following command in the
|
|
<application>MPlayer</application> source directory:
|
|
|
|
<screen>fakeroot debian/rules binary</screen>
|
|
|
|
If you want to pass custom options to configure, you can set up the
|
|
<envar>DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS</envar> environment variable. For instance,
|
|
if you want GUI and OSD menu support you would use:
|
|
|
|
<screen>DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS="--enable-gui --enable-menu" fakeroot debian/rules binary</screen>
|
|
|
|
You can also pass some variables to the Makefile. For example, if you want
|
|
to compile with gcc 3.4 even if it's not the default compiler:
|
|
|
|
<screen>CC=gcc-3.4 DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS="--enable-gui" fakeroot debian/rules binary</screen>
|
|
|
|
To clean up the source tree run the following command:
|
|
|
|
<screen>fakeroot debian/rules clean</screen>
|
|
|
|
As root you can then install the <filename>.deb</filename> package as usual:
|
|
|
|
<screen>dpkg -i ../mplayer_<replaceable>version</replaceable>.deb</screen>

<application>MPlayer</application> works on Linux PDAs with ARM CPU e.g. Sharp Zaurus,
|
|
Compaq Ipaq. The easiest way to obtain <application>MPlayer</application> is to get it
|
|
from one of the <ulink url="http://www.openzaurus.org">OpenZaurus</ulink> package feeds. If
|
|
you want to compile it yourself, you should look at the
|
|
<ulink url="http://openzaurus.bkbits.net:8080/buildroot/src/packages/mplayer?nav=index.html|src/.|src/packages">mplayer</ulink>

<ulink url="http://openzaurus.bkbits.net:8080/buildroot/src/packages/libavcodec?nav=index.html|src/.|src/packages">libavcodec</ulink>
|
|
directory in the OpenZaurus distribution buildroot. These always have the latest
|
|
Makefile and patches used for building a CVS <application>MPlayer</application> with
|
|
<systemitem class="library">libavcodec</systemitem>.

If you need a GUI frontend, you can use xmms-embedded.

The HP-UX kernel has a default stack size of 8MB(?) per process.(11.0 and

newer 10.20 patches let you increase <systemitem>maxssiz</systemitem> up to

350MB for 32-bit programs). You need to extend <systemitem>maxssiz</systemitem>
|
|
and recompile the kernel (and reboot). You can use SAM to do this. (While at
|
|
it, check out the <systemitem>maxdsiz</systemitem> parameter for the maximum
|
|
amount of data a program can use. It depends on your applications, if the
|
|
default of 64MB is enough or not.)

<para>For best results <application>MPlayer</application> should use a
|
|
colorspace that your video card supports in hardware. Unfortunately many
|
|
Windows graphics drivers wrongly report some colorspaces as supported in
|
|
hardware. To find out which, try
|
|
|
|
<screen>mplayer -benchmark -nosound -frames 100 -vf format=<replaceable>colorspace</replaceable> <replaceable>movie</replaceable></screen>
|
|
|
|
where <replaceable>colorspace</replaceable> can be any colorspace
|
|
printed by the <option>-vf format=fmt=help</option> option. If you
|
|
find a colorspace your card handles particularly bad
|
|
<option>-vf noformat=<replaceable>colorspace</replaceable></option>
|
|
will keep it from being used. Add this to your config file to permanently
|
|
keep it from being used.</para>

<para>There are special codec packages for Windows available on our
|
|
<ulink url="http://mplayerhq.hu/homepage/design7/codecs.html">codecs page</ulink>
|
|
to allow playing formats for which there is no native support yet.
|
|
Put the codecs somewhere in your path or pass
|
|
<option>--with-codecsdir=<replaceable>c:/path/to/your/codecs</replaceable></option>
|
|
(alternatively

<para>You can play VCDs by playing the <filename>.DAT</filename> or <filename>.MPG</filename> files

<para>The <application>Cygwin</application>/<application>MinGW</application>

<option>-quiet</option> option has been reported to improve performance on
|
|
some systems. Direct rendering (<option>-dr</option>) may also help.
|
|
If playback is jerky, try
|
|
<option>-autosync 100</option>. If some of these options help you, you
|
|
may want to put them in your config file.</para>

<para>On Windows the runtime CPU detection disables SSE support

yourself, you need the <systemitem>mplayerosx</systemitem>, the

set up something like this:

MPlayer_source_directory

|

You first need to build main and main_noaltivec.

</para>
|
|

Next, set a global variable:

|

|
|
</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>

<para>

If you configure for a G4 or later CPU with AltiVec support, do as follows:
|
|
<screen>
|
|
./configure --with-termcaplib=ncurses.5 --disable-gl --disable-x11
|
|
</screen>
|

If you configure for a G3-powered machine without AltiVec, use:

./configure --with-termcaplib=ncurses.5 --disable-gl --disable-x11
|

--disable-altivec

then go to the mplayerosx directory and type
