wm4 9bf9331426 cache: actually use time instead of retry count for slow cache warning There's actually no reason to maintain a retry count, and this is more robust against spurious wakeups.		2013-06-18 02:19:15 +02:00

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.
