Stefano Pigozzi d8c06cd99e add Travis-CI integration
Travis-CI [1] is a continous integration cloud service. It is free for
open-source projects and tigthly integrated tiwh GitHub so there is really
no reason for us not use it. :)

For now we are going to do a total of 4 builds, mainly to test ffmpeg/libav
API breakage:

 * ffmpeg-stable, libass-stable
 * ffmpeg-git, libass-stable
 * libav-stable, libass-stable
 * libav-git, libass-stable

The compiler that is currently used is clang for two reasons:

 * running 8 build targets would be quite wasteful and take a long time
 * clang is less tested and used during development than gcc (especially on
   linux)

Currently Travis doesn't support OS X environments alongside Linux ones [2].
When it will, we will add a fifth build target to test OS X compilation
breakage.

README was moved to markdown to add the little build status image. I ran some
tests with my GitHub fork and couldn't get images to show up using ReStructured
Text.

mpv

Build Status

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.

Bug reports

Please use the 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.
