.SH DESCRIPTION
.B mplayer
is a movie player for LINUX (runs on many other Unices, and non\-x86
CPUs, see the documentation). It plays most MPEG/VOB, AVI, OGG/OGM, VIVO, ASF/WMA/WMV, QT/MOV/MP4,
FLI, RM, NuppelVideo, yuv4mpeg, FILM, RoQ files, supported by many native, XAnim, and
Win32 DLL codecs. You can watch VideoCD, SVCD, DVD, 3ivx, DivX 3/4/5 and even WMV
movies, too (without the avifile library).
Another great feature of mplayer is the wide range of supported output drivers.
It works with X11, XV, DGA, OpenGL, SVGAlib, fbdev, AAlib, DirectFB, but you can use
GGI, SDL (and this way all their drivers), VESA (on every VESA compatible card, even
without X11!) and some low level card-specific drivers (for Matrox, 3Dfx and ATI), too!
.br
Most of them support software or hardware scaling, so you can enjoy movies in fullscreen.
MPlayer supports displaying through some hardware MPEG decoder boards, such as the Siemens
DVB, DXR2 and DXR3/Hollywood+!
MPlayer has an onscreen display (OSD) for status information, nice big
antialiased shaded subtitles and visual feedback for keyboard controls.
European/ISO 8859-1,2 (Hungarian, English, Czech, etc), Cyrillic and Korean
fonts are supported along with 9 subtitle formats (MicroDVD, SubRip,
SubViewer, Sami, VPlayer, RT, SSA, AQTitle and our own: MPsub). DVD subtitles
(SPU streams, VobSub and Closed Captions) are supported.
.B mencoder
(MPlayer's Movie Encoder) is a simple movie encoder, designed to
encode MPlayer-playable movies (see above) to other MPlayer-playable formats
(see below). It encodes to DivX4 (1, 2 or 3 passes), XviD, codecs of libavcodec,
PCM/MP3/VBRMP3 audio. It also has stream copying abilities, a powerful plugin system
(crop, expand, flip, postprocess, rotate, scale, add/remove noise, rgb/yuv conversion) and more.
.B gmplayer
is MPlayer with a graphical user interface.
It has the same options as MPlayer.

.
.SH GENERAL NOTES
.B Check the HTML documentation, too!
Every "flag" option has a "noflag" counterpart, e.g. the opposite of the \-fs
option is \-nofs.
.br
You can put all of the options in a config file which will be read every time
mplayer is run. The system-wide config file 'mplayer.conf' is in your configuration
directory (e.g. /etc/mplayer or /usr/local/etc/mplayer), the user specific
one is '~/.mplayer/config'. User specific options override system-wide options
and options given on the command line override either. The syntax of the config
files is 'option=<value>', everything after a '#' is considered a comment.
Options that work without values can be enabled by setting them to 'yes' or '1'
and disabled by setting them to 'no' or '0'. Even suboptions can be specified
in this way.
.I EXAMPLE:
# Use Matrox driver by default.
.br
vo=xmga
.br
# I love practicing handstands while watching videos.
.br
flip=yes
.br
# Decode/encode multiple files from png, start it with -mf on

Hi\-res mp3 seeking. Default is: enabled when playing from external MP3 file,
as we need to seek to the very exact position to keep A/V sync. It can be slow
especially when seeking backwards \- it has to rewind to the beginning to find
the exact frame.
.TP
.B \-idx (also see \-forceidx)
Rebuilds INDEX of the AVI if no INDEX was found,
thus allowing seeking. Useful with broken/incomplete
downloads, or badly created AVIs.

audiorate=<value> set audio capture bitrate
alsa capture from ALSA
amode=<0..3> choose an audio mode:
0 .. mono
1 .. stereo
2 .. language 1
3 .. language 2
forcechan=<1,2> By default, the count of
recorded audio channels is
determined automatically
by querying the audio mode
from the tv card. This option
allows to force stereo/mono
recording regardless of the
amode option and the values
returned by v4l. This can
be used for troubleshooting
when the tv card is unable
to report the current audio
mode.
adevice=<value> set an audio device
/dev/... for OSS,
hardware ID for ALSA
audioid=<value> choose an audio output
of the capture card, if it
has more of them
volume=<value> These options set
bass=<value> parameters of the mixer
treble=<value> on the video capture card.
balance=<value> They will have no effect,
if your card doesn't have
one. All values are from
0 to 65535.
.I NOTE:
Mplayer doesn't accept colons so type dots instead in the device ID,
eg. hw.0,0 instead of hw:0,0)
Be advised that although you can select any samplerate when using ALSA,
the LAME audio codec is able to encode only the "standard" samplerates.
You'll get an .avi file with no sound when you choose an odd
samplerate and use this codec.
.TP
.B \-user <user name> (see \-passwd option too!)
Specify user name for http authentication.
.TP
.B \-vcd <track>
Play video CD track from device instead of plain file.
.TP

Select video channel [MPG: 0\-15 ASF: 0\-255].
.TP
.B \-vivo <sub\-options> (DEBUG CODE)
Force audio parameters for the .vivo demuxer (for debugging purposes).
.SH "DECODING/FILTERING OPTIONS"
.TP
.B \-ac <codec name>
Force usage of a specific audio codec, according to its codec name in
codecs.conf.
.I EXAMPLE:
\-ac mp3 use mp3lib
\-ac mad use libmad
\-ac mp3acm use l3codeca.acm MP3 codec
\-ac ac3 use AC3 codec
\-ac hwac3 enable hardware AC3 passthrough
(see documentation)
\-ac vorbis use libvorbis
\-ac ffmp3 use FFmpeg's MP3 decoder (SLOW)
See \-ac help for a full list of available codecs.
.TP
.B \-afm <driver name>
Force usage of a specific audio codec family, according to its driver name
in codecs.conf and fall back to default if it failed.
.I EXAMPLE:
\-afm ffmpeg use FFmpeg's libavcodec (mp1/2/3)
\-afm acm use a matching Win32 codec
See \-afm help for a full list of available drivers.
.TP
.B \-aspect <ratio>
Override aspect ratio of movies. It's autodetected on MPEG files, but can't be
autodetected on most AVI files.
.I EXAMPLE:
\-aspect 4:3 or \-aspect 1.3333
\-aspect 16:9 or \-aspect 1.7777
.TP
.B \-flip \
Flip image upside\-down.
.TP
.B \-lavdopts <option1:option2:...> (DEBUG CODE)
If decoding with a codec from libavcodec, you can specify its parameters here.
.I EXAMPLE:
\-lavdopts bug=1
Available options are:
ver=<value> error resilience:
-1 needed for some very broken
encoders
0 default
1 more aggressive error
detection
bug=<value> manual workaround encoder bugs:
0 default
1 workaround for some old lavc
generated msmpeg4v3 files
.TP
.B \-nosound
Do not play/encode sound.
.TP
.B \-npp <option1,option2,...>
This option allows giving more literate postprocessing options,
and is another way of calling it (not with \-pp). See \-npp help
for a full list of available options. The keywords accept a '\-'
prefix to disable the option.
.br
A ':' followed by a letter may be appended to the option to indicate its
scope:
a Automatically switches the filter off if the CPU is too slow.
c Do chrominance filtering, too.
y Do not do chrominance filtering (only luminance filtering).
.br
Each filter defaults to 'c' (chrominance).
.br
.I NOTE:
-npp only controls the external postprocess filter, and you HAVE TO
load it manually by -vop pp (Usage: -vop pp -npp <options>),
it is not auto-loaded!
.I EXAMPLE:
\-npp hb,vb,dr,al,lb same as \-pp 0x2007f
\-npp hb,vb,dr,al same as \-pp 0x7f
\-npp de,\-al default filters without
brightness/contrast
correction
\-npp de,tn:1:2:3 Enable default filters
& temporal denoiser.
\-npp hb:y,vb:a \-autoq 6
Deblock horizontal only
luminance and switch
vertical deblocking on or
off automatically
depending on available
CPU time.
.TP
.B \-pp <quality> (see \-npp option too!)
Apply postprocess filter on decoded image.
Value given by -pp is sent to the codec, if the codec has built-in postprocess
filter (newer win32 DShow DLLs, divx4linux) otherwise the external postprocess
filter plugin (-vop pp) is auto-loaded and used.
Note, that you can use the built-in and external pp at the
same time, use -pp to set internal pp, and -vop pp=value to set up the external!
The valid range of -pp value for built-in pp filters vary on codecs, mostly
0-6, where 0=disable 6=slowest/best.
For the external pp filter, this is the numerical mode to use postprocessing. The '\-npp' option described
above has the same effects but with letters. To have several filters at the
same time, simply add the hexadecimal values.
.I EXAMPLE:
The following values are known to give good results:
\-pp 0x20000 (\-npp lb) deinterlacing (for DVD/MPEG2 playback e.g.)
\-pp 0x7f (\-npp hb,vb,dr,al) deblocking filter (for DivX)
.TP
.B \-ssf <mode> (BETA CODE)
Specifies SwScaler parameters. Available options are:
lgb=[0..100] Gaussian blur filter (luma)
cgb=[0..100] Gaussian blur filter (chroma)
ls=[0..100] sharpen filter (luma)
cs=[0..100] sharpen filter (chroma)
cvs=x chroma vertical shifting
chs=x chroma horizontal shifting
.I EXAMPLE
\-vop scale -ssf lgb=3.0
.TP
.B \-stereo <mode>
Select type of MP2/MP3 stereo output.
Stereo 0
Left channel 1
Right channel 2
.TP
.B \-sws <software\ scaler\ type> (see \-vop scale option too!)
This option sets the quality (and speed, respectively) of the software scaler,
with the \-zoom option. For example with x11 or other outputs which lack
hardware acceleration. Possible settings are:
0 fast bilinear (default)
1 bilinear
2 bicubic (good quality)
3 experimental
4 nearest neighbour (bad quality)
5 area
6 luma bicubic / chroma bilinear
7 gauss
8 sincR
9 lanczos
10 bicubic spline
.I NOTE:
For \-sws 2 and 7, the sharpness can be set with the scaling parameter (p)
of \-vop scale (0 (soft) \- 100 (sharp)), for \-sws 9, it specifies the filter
length (1 \- 10).
.TP
.B \-vc <codec name>
Force usage of a specific video codec, according to its codec name in codecs.conf,
.I EXAMPLE:
\-vc divx use VFW DivX codec
\-vc divxds use DirectShow DivX codec
\-vc ffdivx use libavcodec's DivX codec
\-vc ffmpeg12 use libavcodec's MPEG1/2 codec
\-vc divx4 use Project Mayo's DivX codec
See \-vc help for a full list of available codecs.
.TP
.B \-vfm <driver name>
Force usage of a specific video codec family, according to its driver name
in codecs.conf and fall back to default if it failed.
.I EXAMPLE:
\-vfm ffmpeg use libavcodec codecs
\-vfm vfw use VFW (Win32) codecs
\-vfm odivx use OpenDivX/DivX4 codec (YV12)
(same as \-vc odivx but fallback)
\-vfm dshow use DirectShow (Win32) codecs
\-vfm divx4 use DivX4 codec (YUY2)
(same as \-vc divx4 but fallback)
\-vfm xanim use XAnim codecs
.I NOTE:
If libdivxdecore support was compiled in, then odivx and divx4 now contains
just the same DivX4 codec, but different APIs to reach it. For difference
between them and when to use which, check the DivX4 section in the
documentation.
See \-vfm help for a full list of available drivers.
.TP
.B \-vop <...,plugin3[=options],plugin2,plugin1>

+/\- 90 degrees.
scale[=w:h[:c[:p]]] Scales the image with the
software scaler (slow) and
performs a YUV<\->RGB
colorspace conversion
(see \-sws option too!).
The value 0 is used for
scaled (aspect) destination
w/h.
(default: original w/h,
destination w/h with \-zoom)
