|
||
|
||
<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, AVI
|
||
and ASF/WMV files (also some QT/MOV files, with CVID, VP31 video, and raw
|
||
audio), 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, but you can use SDL (and this way all drivers of
|
||
SDL) 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. And what about the nice big antialiased shaded subtitles (<B>9
|
||
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.</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><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><B>mpg12play v0.9-v0.95pre5:</B><BR>
|
||
Mpeg codec was libmpeg2 (mpeg2dec) by Aaron Holtzman & Michel Lespinasse.
|
||
It's great, optimized very fast C code with perfect image quality and
|
||
100% MPEG standard conformance.
|
||
<LI><B>MPlayer v0.3-v0.9:</B><BR>
|
||
It was a pack of two programs: mpg12playv0.95pre6 and my new simple AVI
|
||
player 'avip' based on avifile's Win32 DLL loader.
|
||
<LI><B>MPlayer v0.10:</B><BR>
|
||
The MPEG and AVI player in a single binary!
|
||
<LI><B>MPlayer v0.11:</B><BR>
|
||
Some new developers joined and from 0.11 the mplayer project is a team-work!
|
||
Added .ASF file support, and OpenDivX (see www.projectmayo.com) en/decoding.
|
||
<LI><B>MPlayer v0.17 "The IdegCounter"</B><BR>
|
||
The release version of the 0.11pre after 4 months of heavy development!
|
||
Try it, and be amazed! Thousands of new features added... and of course
|
||
old code was improved too, bugs removed etc.
|
||
<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><B>MPlayer 0.50 "The Faszom(C)ounter"</B><BR>
|
||
Hmm. Release again. Tons of new features, beta GUI version, bugs fixed,
|
||
new vo and ao drivers, ported to many systems, including opensource DivX
|
||
codecs and much more. Try it!

|

|
||
<P><B><A NAME=1.3>1.3. Installation</A></B></P>
|
||
|
||
<P>You'll need the following packages and versions if you don't want to
|
||
experience any problems:<BR>
|
||
<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 version is from <B>2.95.2</B> to <B>2.95.4</B>.
|
||
<B>NEVER</B> use 2.96 or 3.x.x !!! They generate faulty code.</LI>
|
||
<LI><B>XFree86</B> - suggested version is <B>always the newest (4.1.0)</B>. Normally
|
||
everyone wants this. If you don't know why, you <B>do</B> need it.</LI>
|
||
<LI><B>make</B> - suggested version is <B>always the newest</B> (at least 3.79.x). This
|
||
usually isn't important.</LI>
|
||
<LI><B>SDL</B> - it's not mandatory, but can help in some cases. Always
|
||
use the newest (beginning from 1.2.x).</LI>
|
||
</UL>
|
||
</P>
|
||
|
||
<P>Read the following before trying to compile <B>MPlayer</B>:</P>
|
||
|
||
<UL>
|
||
<LI>If you plan to use <B>MPlayer</B> on x86 architecture, you possibly want to use
|
||
Win32 codecs. Download and unzip w32codecs.zip to /usr/lib/win32 .
|
||
Note: the avifile project has similar codecs package, but it differs
|
||
from ours, so if you want to use all supported codecs, then use
|
||
our package! However, you can use our codecs package with avifile.</LI>
|
||
|
||
<LI>If you own a Matrox G200/G400/G450/G550 card, then please see the <A HREF="video.html#2.2.1.7">2.2.1.7</A>
|
||
section in order to gain big speedup. It is important to do these steps
|
||
<I>before</I> compiling <B>MPlayer</B>, otherwise no Matrox-specific support will be
|
||
built.</LI>
|
||
|
||
<LI>If you own a 3Dfx Voodoo3/Banshee card, then please see the <A
|
||
HREF="video.html#2.2.1.9">2.2.1.9</A> section in order to gain big speedup. It
|
||
is important to do these steps <I>before</I> compiling <B>MPlayer</B>,
|
||
otherwise no 3Dfx support will be built.</LI>
|
||
|
||
<LI>If you plan to use the ProjectMayo's <B>DivX4</B> codec, check the
|
||
<A HREF="codecs.html#2.1.2.1">2.1.2.1</A> section before compiling.
|
||
This codec can play old <B>DivX</B> movies much faster than the Win32 DLL.
|
||
If you want to play movies with the new <B>DivX4</B> codec, it's
|
||
<B>recommended</B> to use this library, instead the DivX.dll in the
|
||
w32codecs.zip package. The codec itself is closed-source, and only an x86
|
||
version is available.</LI>
|
||
|
||
<LI>If you plan to use ffmpeg's <B>libavcodec</B>, check the
|
||
<A HREF="codecs.html#2.1.2.2">2.1.2.2</A> section before compiling.
|
||
You'll need this to <B>gain <I>DivX/DivX4</I> playing on non-x86 machines</B>,
|
||
and this codec has the <B>greatest decoding speed</B> for DivX and DivX4
|
||
movies (even faster than the original DivX4 library itself) !</LI>
|
||
|
||
<LI>For DVD support, you'll have to compile libdvdread and libdvdcss.
|
||
See <A HREF="cd-dvd.html#4.2">section 4.2</A> for more information.</LI>
|
||
|
||
<LI>Decide if you need GUI. If you do, see the <A HREF=#1.4>1.4 section</A>
|
||
before compiling.</LI>
|
||
|
||
<LI>If you want to play <B>3ivx</B> movies, check the <A HREF=codecs.html#2.1.2.4>
|
||
2.1.2.4 section</A>.</LI>
|
||
</UL>
|
||
|
||
<P>Then build <B>MPlayer</B>:</P>
|
||
|
||
<PRE> ./configure
|
||
make
|
||
make install</PRE>
|
||
|
||
<P>It is recommended to browse the output of ./configure , it contains info
|
||
about what will be built, and what won't. You may also want to view
|
||
config.h and config.mak files.</P>
|
||
|
||
<P>Though not mandatory, the fonts should be installed in order to gain
|
||
OSD, and subtitle functionality. Download mp-arial-iso-8859-*.zip and/or optional
|
||
(if exists) language updates. It's VERY RECOMMENDED to check
|
||
<A HREF=#1.5>section 1.5</A> for details.</P>
|
||
|
||
<PRE> mkdir ~/.mplayer/font
|
||
cd ~/.mplayer/font
|
||
unzip mp-arial-iso-8859-1.zip</PRE>
|
||
|
||
<P>Only one thing remains: copy the <B>codecs.conf</B> file from the <CODE>etc</CODE>
|
||
directory (relative to the <B>MPlayer</B> tree) to $HOME/.mplayer/codecs.conf.</P>
|
||
|
||
|
||
<P><B><A NAME=1.4>1.4. What about the GUI?</A></B></P>
|
||
|
||
<P>The GUI is built upon GTK, so gtk (and it's devel stuff) has to be installed.
|
||
You can build it by specifying <CODE>--enable-gui</CODE> during ./configure .
|
||
Then, to turn on GUI mode, you either
|
||
<UL>
|
||
<LI>use the <CODE>-gui</CODE> option</LI>
|
||
<LI>specify <CODE>gui=yes</CODE> in your config file</LI>
|
||
<LI><CODE>ln -s /usr/local/bin/mplayer /usr/local/bin/gmplayer</CODE> ,
|
||
and call <CODE>gmplayer</CODE> instead.
|
||
</UL>
|
||
</P>
|
||
|
||
<P>As <B>MPlayer</B> doesn't have a skin included, you have to download them
|
||
if you want to use the GUI. See the <A HREF="http://www.mplayerhq.hu/homepage/dload.html">download page</A>.
|
||
They should be extracted to the usual system-wide directory (<CODE>/usr/local/share/mplayer/Skin</CODE>),
|
||
or to <CODE>$HOME/.mplayer/Skin</CODE> . <B>MPlayer</B> by default looks in
|
||
these directories for a <I>default</I> named directory, but you can use the

<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
|
||
8 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> 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
|
||
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 (RedHat) programs.<BR>
|
||
Some URLs:
|
||
<UL>

||

</UL>
|
||
|
||
<LI>use the font generator tool at TOOLS/subfont-c
|
||
It's a complete tool to convert from TTF/Type1/etc font to mplayer font pkg.
|
||
(read TOOLS/subfont-c/README for details)
|
||
|
||
<LI>use the font generator GIMP plugin at TOOLS/subfont-GIMP
|
||
(note: you must have HSI RAW plugin too, see URL below)
|
||
</UL>
|
||
</P>
|
||
|
||
<P>After that, UNZIP the files to ~/.mplayer/font/ .
|
||
Now you have to see a timer at the upper left corner of the movie
|
||
(switch it off with 'o') .</P>
|
||
|
||
<P>OSD has 3 states: (switch with 'o')<BR>
|
||
<UL>
|
||
<LI>timer + volume bar + seek bar + subtitles (default)
|
||
<LI>volume bar + seek bar + subtitles
|

<LI>subtitles only

<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>
|

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

|

<P>To build the package you will need GNU make (gmake, /opt/sfw/gmake), native

<P>For DVD support you must have the patched libcss installed. Patch:

|

<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.

|
||
|
||
<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>

<P>Special system/cpu-specific bugs/problems:</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<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>
|
||
</UL>
|
||
|
||
<P>Various A-V sync and other audio problems:</P>
|
||
|
||
General audio delay or jerky sound (exists with all or many files):<BR>
|
||
<UL>
|
||
<LI>audio buffer problems (buffer size badly detected)<BR>
|
||
Workaround: mplayer -abs option</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>
|
||
SOLVED: try -framedrop</LI>
|
||
</UL><BR>
|
||
|
||
Audio delay/de-sync specific to one or a few files:<BR>
|
||
<UL>
|
||
<LI>bad file (please upload the file, so we can check & fix)<BR>
|
||
Workaround: -ni or -nobps option (for non-interleaved or bad files)<BR>
|
||
-mc 0 (required for files with badly interleaved VBR audio)<BR>
|
||
-delay option or +/- keys at runtime to adjust delay</LI>
|
||
<LI>your soundcard doesn't support 48Khz playback<BR>
|
||
Workaround: buy a better soundcard... or try to decrease fps by 10% (use -fps 27 for a 30fps movie)</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><BR>
|
||
|
||
No sound at all:<BR>
|

|
||
</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>
