<P><B><A NAME=0>0. How to read this documentation</A></B></P>
|
||
|
||
<P>If you are a first-time installer: be sure to read everything from here to
|
||
the end of the Installation section, and follow the links you will find. If
|
||
you have any other questions, return to the TOC (Table of Contents) and
|
||
search for the topic, read the FAQ, or try grepping though the files.</P>
|
||
|
||
<P>The main rule of this documentation: if it's not documented, it
|
||
<U>does not exist</U>. If I don't say you encode audio from TV tuner, you
|
||
can't. A healthy quantity of combining ability is welcomed, though.
|
||
Good luck. You'll need it :) And for another good advice, let me quote
|
||
Chris Phillips from the <B>mplayer-users</B> mailing list:</P>
|
||
|
||
<P><I>"I said a while ago that there is such a difference between a newbie and
|
||
a dumbass. No matter what you actaully know about a system (linux, cars,
|
||
girls :D) you should ALWAYS be able to take a step back and be objective,
|
||
otherwise, you're just dumb IMHO. A girl i live with assumed the vacuum
|
||
cleaner was broken because it didn't suck things up. never thought to change
|
||
the bag, becasue she'd never done it before... now that's just stupid, not a
|
||
case of simply not knowing what to do... Simply not being that familiar with
|
||
your surroundings is no excuse for a) laziness and b) ignorance. So many
|
||
people seem to see the word "error" and then stop... few seem to actually
|
||
read the words on the OTHER side of the colon."</I></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, VOB,
|
||
AVI, OGG, VIVO, ASF/WMV, QT/MOV, FLI, RM, NuppelVideo, yuv4mpeg, FILM, RoQ
|
||
files, 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, DirectFB, but you can use GGI and SDL (and this way all their drivers)
|
||
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. <B>MPlayer</B> supports displaying through some hardware MPEG
|
||
decoder boards, such as the <B><A HREF="DVB">DVB</A></B> and <B> <A
|
||
HREF="DXR3">DXR3/Hollywood+</A></B> ! And what about the nice big antialiased
|
||
shaded subtitles (<B>10 supported types!!!</B>) with european/ISO 8859-1,2
|
||
(hungarian, english, czech, etc), cyrillic, korean fonts, and OSD?</P>
|
||
|
||
<P><B>MPlayer</B> is under GPL v2 license.</P>
|
||
|
||
<P>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 temporarily rebuild their indexes with the -idx option, or
|
||
permanently with <B>MEncoder</B>, thus enabling seeking!
|
||
As you see, stability and quality are the most important things,
|
||
but the speed is also amazing.</P>

|

|

<P>This began a year ago...
|
||
I (A'rpi) have 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>

|
||
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>
|
||
<LI><B>mpg12play v0.5-v0.87:</B> Sep 28-Oct 20, 2000<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>
|
||
<LI><B>mpg12play v0.9-v0.95pre5:</B> Oct 21-Nov 2, 2000<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>
|
||
<LI><B>MPlayer v0.3-v0.9:</B> Nov 18-Dec 4, 2000<BR>
|

It was a pack of two programs: mpg12play v0.95pre6 and my new simple AVI
|

player 'avip' based on avifile's Win32 DLL loader.</LI>

Try it, and be amazed! Thousands of new features added... and of course
|
||
old code was improved too, bugs removed etc.</LI>
|
||
<LI><B>MPlayer 0.18 "The BugCounter"</B> Jul 9, 2001<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>
|
||
<LI><B>MPlayer 0.50 "The Faszom(C)ounter"</B> Oct 8, 2001<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!</LI>
|
||
<LI><B>MPlayer 0.60 "The RTFMCounter"</B> Jan 3, 2002<BR>
|
||
MOV/VIVO/RM/FLI/NUV fileformats support, native CRAM, Cinepak, ADPCM codecs,
|

see links, please follow them and read carefully what they contain. It

will take some time, but it DOES worth it.</P>

<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>2.95.3</B> to <B>2.95.4</B>.
|
||
<B>NEVER</B> use 2.96 or 3.x.x !!! They generate faulty code. If you decide
|
||
to change gcc from 2.96, then don't decide in favor of 3.0 juts because
|
||
it's newer! In some ways it's even worse than 2.96. So downgrade to
|
||
2.95.x (downgrade libstdc++ too!) or don't up/downgrade at all (but in
|
||
this case, be prepared for runtime problems).
|
||
If you vote for 3.x, try to use the latest version, early releases had
|
||
various bugs, so be sure you use at least 3.0.3 or 3.1.

before compiling.</LI>

|
||
|
||
<LI>There are three timing methods in <B>MPlayer</B>. To use the old
|
||
method, you don't have to do anything. It uses <CODE>usleep()</CODE> to tune
|
||
A/V sync, with +/- 10ms accuracy. However sometimes the sync has to be tuned
|
||
even finer. The new timer code uses PC's RTC (Real Time Clock) for this task,
|
||
because it has precise 1ms timers. This requires root, or a <I>setuid root</I>
|
||
<B>MPlayer</B> binary (or a little kernel hacking, but that's unadvised). You
|
||
can see the new timer's efficiency in the status line. The third timer
|
||
code is turned on with the <CODE>-softsleep</CODE> option. It has the
|
||
efficiency of the RTC, but it doesn't use RTC. On the other hand,
|
||
it requires more CPU. Note: <B>NEVER install setuid MPlayer binary on a
|
||
multiuser system!</B> It's a clear way for everyone to gain root.</LI>
|
||
|
||
</UL>
|
||
|

<P>Then build <B>MPlayer</B>:</P>

./configure

make

make install
|
||
</PRE>
|
||
|
||
<P>At this point, <B>MPlayer</B> is ready to use. The directory
|
||
<CODE>$PREFIX/share/mplayer</CODE> contains the <CODE>codecs.conf</CODE>
|
||
file, which is used to tell the program all the codecs and their capabilities.
|
||
This file should always be kept uptodate together with the main binary !<BR>
|
||
Check if you have codecs.conf in your home directory (~/.mplayer/codecs.conf)
|
||
left from old MPlayer versions, and remove it!</P>
|
||
|
||
<P><B>Debian users</B> can build a .deb package for themselves, it's very
|
||
simple. Just exec <CODE>fakeroot debian/rules binary</CODE> in <B>MPlayer</B>'s

<P><B><I>ALWAYS browse the output of ./configure</I></B>, and the

<CODE>configure.log</CODE> file, they contain info about what will be built,

and what won't. You may also want to view config.h and config.mak files.<BR>
|
||
If you have some libs installed, but not detected by ./configure, then check
|
||
if you also have the proper header files (usually the -dev packages) and

their version matches. The configure.log usually tells you what is missing.
|
||
</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

<P><B><A NAME=1.4>1.4. What about the GUI?</A></B></P>
|
||
|
||
<P>The GUI needs GTK (it isn't GTK, but the panels are). The skins are stored
|
||
in PNG format, so gtk, libpng (and their 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</P>
|
||
<UL>
|
||
<LI>use the <CODE>-gui</CODE> option</LI>
|
||
<LI>specify <CODE>gui=yes</CODE> in your config file</LI>
|
||
<LI><CODE>ln -s $PREFIX/bin/mplayer $PREFIX/bin/gmplayer</CODE> ,
|
||
and call <CODE>gmplayer</CODE> instead.
|
||
</UL>
|
||
|
||
<P>HINT: use the middle button (on 2 button mice press left and right
|
||
simultaneously) for a popup GTK menu, with DVD playing option!</P>
|
||
|
||
<P>As <B>MPlayer</B> doesn't have a skin included, you have to download them
|
||
if you want to use the GUI. See the <A HREF="http://www.mplayerhq.hu/homepage/dload.html">download page</A>.
|
||
They should be extracted to the usual system-wide directory (<CODE>$PREFIX/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
|
||
<I>-skin newskin</I> option, or the <I>skin=newskin</I> config file
|
||
directive to use the skin in <CODE>*/Skin/newskin</CODE> directory.</P>
|

|
||
<P><B><A NAME=1.5>1.5. Subtitles and OSD</A></B></P>
|
||
|
||
<P>
|
||
<B>MPlayer</B> can display subtitles along with movie files. Currently the following
|
||
formats are supported:</P>
|
||
<UL>
|
||
<LI>VobSub</LI>
|
||
<LI>Microdvd</LI>
|
||
<LI>SubRip</LI>

|
||
<LI>SSA</LI>
|
||
<LI>MPsub</LI>
|
||
<LI>AQTitle</LI>
|
||
</UL>
|
||
The command line options differ slightly for the different formats:
|
||
|
||
<P>
|
||
<B>VobSub subtitles</B><BR>
|
||
VobSub subtitles consist of a big (some megabytes) .SUB file, and optional
|
||
.IDX and/or .IFO files.<BR>
|
||
Usage : if you have files like <CODE>sample.sub</CODE>, <CODE>sample.ifo</CODE>,
|
||
<CODE>sample.idx</CODE> - you have to pass the <CODE>-vobsub sample -vobsubid
|
||
<id></CODE> options (optionally with pathname, of course). The
|
||
<CODE>-vobsubid</CODE> option is like <CODE>-sid</CODE> for DVDs, you can
|
||
choose between subtitle tracks (languages) with it.</P>
|
||
|
||
<P>
|
||
<B>Other subtitles</B><BR>
|
||
The other formats consist of a single text file containing timing, placement
|
||
and text information.<BR>
|
||
Usage : if you have a file like <CODE>sample.txt</CODE>, you have to pass
|
||
the option <CODE>-sub sample.txt</CODE> (optionally with pathname, of course).
|
||
</P>
|
||
|
||
<P>
|
||
<B>Adjusting subtitle timing and placement</B><BR>
|
||
|
||
<CODE>-subdelay <sec></CODE> : Delays subtitles by <sec> seconds. Can be negative.<BR>
|
||
<CODE>-subfps <rate></CODE> : Specify frame/sec rate of subtitle file (float number)<BR>
|
||
<CODE>-subpos <0 - 100></CODE> : Specify the position of subtitles.<BR>
|
||
</P>
|
||
<P>
|
||
If you experience a growing delay between the movie and the subtitles when using a MicroDVD
|
||
subtitle file, most likely the frame rate of the movie and the subtitle file are different.<BR>
|
||
Please note that the MicroDVD subtitle format uses absolute frame numbers for its
|
||
timing, and therefore the <CODE>-subfps</CODE> option cannot be used with this format. As
|
||
<B>MPlayer</B> has no way to guess the frame rate of the subtitle file, you have to manually
|
||
convert the frame rate. There is a little perl script in the <CODE>contrib</CODE> directory of
|
||
the MPlayer ftp site to do this conversion for you.</P>
|
||
|
||
<P>About DVD subtitles, read the <A HREF="cd-dvd.html#4.2">DVD section</A>.</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:</P>
|
||
<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,
|
||
but there are some other (including korean, russian, 8859-8 etc) fonts
|
||
at contrib/font section of FTP, made by users.
|
||
|
||
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>

<P>Both <B>MPlayer</B> and <B>MEncoder</B> supports using a universal

video filter layer, which comprises of numerous plugins - listed and
|

explained below. These plugins can perform various actions on the image,
|
||
such as rescale, crop black borders (useful not only for encoding but for
|
||
playing too, since black borders increase bus usage, and cropping these
|
||
can boost playing speed on slow boards), expand image (for SVCDs).</P>
|
||
|
||
<P>With this filter layer it's possible to perform fast image format conversion

playing RGB data on <CODE>xv</CODE> and <CODE>xmga</CODE> outputs, amongst
|

others. (see the <A HREF="#2.6.11">Scale</A> filter)</P>
|

<P>The layer also does <B>Direct Rendering</B> between the plugins, to
|

maximize the speed.

<P>Linux Infrared Remote Control - use an easy to build home-brewn IR-receiver,
|
||
an (almost) arbitrary remote control and control your linux box with it!
|
||
More about it at <A HREF="http://www.lirc.org">www.lirc.org</A>.</P>
|
||
|
||
<P>If you have installed the lirc-package, configure will autodetect it. If
|
||
everything went fine, <B>MPlayer</B> will print a message like "Setting up
|
||
lirc support..." on startup. If an error occurs it will tell you. If it
|
||
doesn't tell you anything about LIRC there's no support compiled in. That's
|
||
it :-)</P>
|
||
|
||
<P>The application name for <B>MPlayer</B> is - oh wonder - 'mplayer'.
|
||
You can use any mplayer commands and even pass more than one command by
|
||
separating them with \n. Don't forget to enable the repeat flag in .lircrc
|
||
when it make sense (seek, volume, etc). Here's an excerpt from my
|
||
.lircrc:</P>
|

|

|

<P>To build the package you will need GNU make (gmake, /usr/ports/devel/gmake),
|
||
native BSD make will not work.</P>
|
||
|
||
<P>To run <B>MPlayer</B> you will need to re-compile the kernel with
|
||
"options USER_LDT" (unless you are running -CURRENT, where this is default).
|
||
If you have a CPU with SSE also use "options CPU_ENABLE_SSE" to use it
|
||
(FreeBSD-STABLE required, or use kernel patches).</P>
|
||
|
||
<P>If <B>MPlayer</B> complains about "CD-ROM Device '/dev/cdrom' not found!" make a
|

symbolic link: <CODE>ln -s /dev/(your_cdrom_device) /dev/cdrom</CODE></P>

<P><B><A NAME=6.3>6.3. Solaris</A></B></P>
|
||
|
||
<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>
|
||
|
||
<P>On <B>UltraSPARC</B>s, <B>MPlayer</B> takes advantage of their <B>VIS</B>
|
||
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
|
||
on a 400Mhz CPU. You'll need <A
|
||
HREF="http://www.sun.com/sparc/vis/mediaLib.html">mLib</A> installed.</P>
|
||
|
||
<P>To build the package you will need GNU make (gmake, /opt/sfw/gmake), native
|
||
Solaris make will not work. Typical error you get when building with solaris'
|
||
make instead of GNU make:</P>
|
||
|

|

|

<P>On Solaris SPARC, you need the GNU C/C++ Compiler; it does not matter
|
||
if GNU C/C++ compiler is configured with or without the GNU assembler.</P>
|
||
|
||
<P>On Solaris x86, you need the GNU assembler and the GNU C/C++
|
||
compiler, configured to use the GNU assembler! The mplayer code on
|
||
the x86 platform makes heavy use of MMX, SSE and 3DNOW!
|
||
instructions that cannot be compiled using Sun's assembler
|
||
<CODE>/usr/ccs/bin/as</CODE>.</P>
|
||
|
||
<P>The configure script tries to find out, which assembler program is
|
||
used by your "gcc" command (in case the autodetection fails, use
|
||
the "--as=/whereever/you/have/installed/gnu-as" option to tell the
|
||
configure script where it can find GNU "as" on your system).</P>
|
||
|

disk block >4GB on a device using a logical blocksize != DEV_BSIZE

|

<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>Due to limitations in different versions of gas (relocation vs mmx),

you'll need to compile in two steps: First make sure that the

<UL>

|

<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>
|
||
|
||
<LI>"Internal buffer inconsistency" during MEncoder run:<BR>
|
||
Problem: known problem when lame was compiled with gcc 2.96 or 3.x, no fix
|
||
yet.<BR>
|
||
Workaround: compile lame with gcc 2.95. Be sure to remove any installed
|
||
lame packages, they may have been compiled with gcc 2.96 .</LI>
|
||
|
||
<LI>Messed up MP2/MP3 sound on PPC:<BR>
|
||
Problem: known GCC miscompilation bug on PPC platforms, no fix yet.<BR>
|
||
Workaround: use FFmpeg's (slow) MP1/MP2/MP3 decoder (<CODE>-ac ffmpeg</CODE>)</LI>
|
||
|
||
<LI>sig11 in libmpeg2, when scaling+encoding:<BR>
|
||
Problem: known GCC 2.95.2 MMX bug, upgrade to 2.95.3.</LI>
|
||
</UL>
|
||
|
||
<P>Various A-V sync and other audio problems:</P>
|
||
|
||
General audio delay or jerky sound (exists with all or many files):
|
||
<UL>
|
||
<LI>most common: buggy audio driver! - try to use different drivers, try
|
||
ALSA 0.9 OSS emulation with -ao oss, also try -ao sdl, sometimes it helps.
|
||
If your file plays fine with -nosound, then you can be sure it's soundcard
|
||
(driver) problem.</LI>
|
||
<LI>audio buffer problems (buffer size badly detected)<BR>
|
||
Workaround: mplayer -abs option</LI>
|
||
<LI>samplerate problems - maybe your card doesn't support the samplerate
|
||
used in your files - try the resampling plugin (-aop)</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>
|
||
Also try -framedrop</LI>
|
||
</UL><BR>
|
||
|
||
Audio delay/de-sync specific to one or a few files:
|
||
<UL>
|
||
<LI>bad file<BR>
|
||
Workaround:
|
||
<UL>
|
||
<LI>-ni or -nobps option (for non-interleaved or bad files)<BR>
|
||
and/or</LI>
|
||
<LI>-mc 0 (required for files with badly interleaved VBR audio)<BR>
|
||
and/or</LI>
|
||
<LI>-delay option or +/- keys at runtime to adjust delay</LI>
|
||
</UL>
|
||
If none of these help, please upload the file, we'll check (and fix).
|
||
</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)
|
||
or use the resampler plugin</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>
|
||
|
||
No sound at all:
|
||
<UL>
|
||
<LI>your file uses an unsupported audio codec<BR>
|
||
Workaround: read the documentation and help us adding support for it</LI>
|
||
</UL>
|
||
|
||
No picture at all (just plain grey/green window):
|
||
<UL>
|
||
<LI>your file uses an unsupported video codec<BR>
|
||
Workaround: read the documentation and help us adding support for it</LI>
|
||
<LI>auto-selected codec can't decode the file, try to select another using -vc or -vfm options</LI>
|
||
<LI>you try to play DivX 3.x file with opendivx decoder or XviD (-vc odivx) - install Divx4Linux and recompile player</LI>
|
||
</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>
|
||
|
||
<P>Green image using mga_vid (-vo mga / -vo xmga):<BR>
|
||
- mga_vid missdetected your card's RAM amount, reload it using mga_ram_size option<BR>
|
||
</P>
