Use the video decoder chroma location flags and render chroma locations
other than centered. Until now, we've always used the intuitive and
obvious centered chroma location, but H.264 uses something else.
FFmpeg provides a small overview in libavcodec/avcodec.h:
-----------
/**
* X X 3 4 X X are luma samples,
* 1 2 1-6 are possible chroma positions
* X X 5 6 X 0 is undefined/unknown position
*/
enum AVChromaLocation{
AVCHROMA_LOC_UNSPECIFIED = 0,
AVCHROMA_LOC_LEFT = 1, ///< mpeg2/4, h264 default
AVCHROMA_LOC_CENTER = 2, ///< mpeg1, jpeg, h263
AVCHROMA_LOC_TOPLEFT = 3, ///< DV
AVCHROMA_LOC_TOP = 4,
AVCHROMA_LOC_BOTTOMLEFT = 5,
AVCHROMA_LOC_BOTTOM = 6,
AVCHROMA_LOC_NB , ///< Not part of ABI
};
-----------
The visual difference is literally minimal, but since videophiles
apparently consider this detail as quality mark of a video renderer,
support it anyway. We don't bother with chroma locations other than
centered and left, though.
Not sure about correctness, but it's probably ok.

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.
