And make some additions. I'm not really sure why we list dependencies that are not ours, but that of external libraries. Still might be useful, though.

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][changes].

Compilation
|
|
-----------
|
|
|
|
Compiling with full features requires development files for several
|
|
external libraries. Below is a list of some important requirements.
|
|
|
|
The mpv build system uses *waf* but we don't store it in your source tree. The
|
|
script './bootstrap.py' will download the latest version of waf that was tested
|
|
with the build system.
|
|
|
|
For a list of the available build options use `./waf configure --help`. If
|
|
you think you have support for some feature installed but configure fails to
|
|
detect it, the file `build/config.log` may contain information about the
|
|
reasons for the failure.
|
|
|
|
NOTE: To avoid cluttering the output with unreadable spam, `--help` only shows
|
|
one of the two switches for each option. If the option is autodetected by
|
|
default, the `--disable-***` switch is printed; if the option is disabled by
|
|
default, the `--enable-***` switch is printed. Either way, you can use
|
|
`--enable-***` or `--disable-**` regardless of what is printed by `--help`.
|
|
|
|
To build the software you can use `./waf build`: the result of the compilation
|
|
will be located in `build/mpv`. You can use `./waf install` to install mpv
|
|
to the *prefix* after it is compiled.
|
|
|
|
NOTE: Using the old build system (with `./old-configure`) should still work,
|
|
but will be removed in a future version of mpv.
|
|
|
|
Essential dependencies (incomplete list):
|
|
|
|
- gcc or clang
|
|
- X development headers (xlib, X extensions, libvdpau, libGL, libXv, ...)
|
|
- Audio output development headers (libasound, pulseaudio)
|
|
- FFmpeg libraries (libavutil libavcodec libavformat libswscale libavresample)
|
|
- libjpeg (for screenshots)
|
|
- libquvi if you want to play Youtube videos directly
|
|
|
|
Libass dependencies:
|
|
|
|
- gcc or clang, yasm on x86 and x86_64
|
|
- fribidi, freetype, fontconfig development headers (for libass)
|
|
|
|
FFmpeg dependencies:
|
|
|
|
- gcc or clang, yasm on x86 and x86_64
|
|
- OpenSSL (has to be explicitly enabled when compiling ffmpeg)
|
|
- libx264/libmp3lame/libfdk-aac if you want to use encoding (has to be
|
|
explicitly enabled when compiling ffmpeg)
|
|
- Libav also works, but some features will not work. (See section below.)
|
|
|
|
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][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][homebrew-mpv], an up
|
|
to date formula that compiles mpv with sensible dependencies and defaults for
|
|
OSX.
|
|
|
|
FFmpeg vs. Libav
|
|
----------------
|
|
|
|
Generally, mpv should work with the latest release as well as the git version
|
|
of both FFmpeg and Libav. But FFmpeg is preferred, and some mpv features work
|
|
with FFmpeg only. See the [wiki article][ffmpeg_vs_libav] about the issue.

Bug reports
|
|
-----------
|
|
|
|
Please use the [issue tracker][issue-tracker] provided by GitHub to send us bug
|
|
reports or feature requests.
|
|
|
|
Contributing
|
|
------------
|
|
|
|
For small changes you can just send us pull requests through GitHub. For bigger
|
|
changes come and talk to us on IRC before you start working on them. It will
|
|
make code review easier for both parties later on.
|
|
|
|
Contacts
|
|
--------
|
|
|
|
These forms of contact are meant to ask questions about mpv usage, give
|
|
feedback on mpv and discuss it's development.
|
|
|
|
If possible, please avoid posting bugs here and use the [issue tracker][issue-tracker]
|
|
instead.
