The main development platform is Linux on x86, although
|
|
<application>MPlayer</application> works on many other Linux ports.
|
|
Binary packages of <application>MPlayer</application> are available from several
|
|
sources.
|
|
However, <emphasis role="bold">none of these packages are supported</emphasis>.

<para>
|
|
To build a Debian package, run the following command in the
|
|
<application>MPlayer</application> source directory:
|
|
|
|
<screen>fakeroot debian/rules binary</screen>
|
|
|
|
If you want to pass custom options to configure, you can set up the
|
|
<envar>DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS</envar> environment variable. For instance,
|
|
if you want GUI and OSD menu support you would use:
|
|
|
|
<screen>DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS="--enable-gui --enable-menu" fakeroot debian/rules binary</screen>
|
|
|
|
You can also pass some variables to the Makefile. For example, if you want
|
|
to compile with gcc 3.4 even if it's not the default compiler:
|
|
|
|
<screen>CC=gcc-3.4 DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS="--enable-gui" fakeroot debian/rules binary</screen>
|
|
|
|
To clean up the source tree run the following command:
|
|
|
|
<screen>fakeroot debian/rules clean</screen>
|
|
|
|
As root you can then install the <filename>.deb</filename> package as usual:
|
|
|
|
<screen>dpkg -i ../mplayer_<replaceable>version</replaceable>.deb</screen>

<application>MPlayer</application> works on Linux PDAs with ARM CPU e.g. Sharp
|
|
Zaurus, Compaq Ipaq. The easiest way to obtain
|
|
<application>MPlayer</application> is to get it from one of the

|
<ulink url="http://www.openzaurus.org">OpenZaurus</ulink> package feeds.
|
|
If you want to compile it yourself, you should look at the
|
|
<ulink url="http://openzaurus.bkbits.net:8080/buildroot/src/packages/mplayer?nav=index.html|src/.|src/packages">mplayer</ulink>
|

|
|
directory in the OpenZaurus distribution buildroot. These always have the latest
|
|
Makefile and patches used for building a SVN <application>MPlayer</application>.
|

If you need a GUI frontend, you can use xmms-embedded.

Solution:
|
|
The HP-UX kernel has a default stack size of 8MB(?) per process.(11.0 and
|
|
newer 10.20 patches let you increase <systemitem>maxssiz</systemitem> up to
|
|
350MB for 32-bit programs). You need to extend
|
|
<systemitem>maxssiz</systemitem> and recompile the kernel (and reboot).
|
|
You can use SAM to do this.
|
|
(While at it, check out the <systemitem>maxdsiz</systemitem> parameter for
|
|
the maximum amount of data a program can use.
|
|
It depends on your applications, if the default of 64MB is enough or not.)

Sound via the Ultimedia Services is not supported, as Ultimedia was

dropped in AIX 5.1; therefore, the only option is to use the AIX Open

4Front Technologies freely provides OSS drivers for AIX 5.1 for

non-commercial use; however, there are currently no sound output
|
|
drivers for AIX 5.2 or 5.3. This means <emphasis role="bold">AIX 5.2

performance varies greatly between systems and SDL is known to

For best results <application>MPlayer</application> should use a

colorspace that your video card supports in hardware. Unfortunately many

Windows graphics drivers wrongly report some colorspaces as supported in

hardware. To find out which, try
|
|
<screen>
|
|
mplayer -benchmark -nosound -frames 100 -vf format=<replaceable>colorspace</replaceable> <replaceable>movie</replaceable>
|
|
</screen>
|
|
where <replaceable>colorspace</replaceable> can be any colorspace
|
|
printed by the <option>-vf format=fmt=help</option> option. If you
|
|
find a colorspace your card handles particularly bad
|
|
<option>-vf noformat=<replaceable>colorspace</replaceable></option>
|

will keep it from being used. Add this to your config file to permanently

keep it from being used.

You can play VCDs by playing the <filename>.DAT</filename> or

<filename>.MPG</filename> files that Windows exposes on VCDs. It works like
|
|
this (adjust for the drive letter of your CD-ROM):
|
|
<screen>mplayer <replaceable>d:/mpegav/avseq01.dat</replaceable></screen>
|
|
Alternatively, you can play a VCD track directly by using:
|
|
<screen>mplayer vcd://<replaceable><track></replaceable> -cdrom-device <replaceable>d:</replaceable>
|

DVDs also work, adjust <option>-dvd-device</option> for the drive letter

The <application>Cygwin</application>/<application>MinGW</application>

console is rather slow. Redirecting output or using the

<option>-quiet</option> option has been reported to improve performance on
|
|
some systems. Direct rendering (<option>-dr</option>) may also help.
|
|
If playback is jerky, try
|
|
<option>-autosync 100</option>. If some of these options help you, you

|
may want to put them in your config file.

<title>Mac OS</title>
|
|
|

<para>
|
|
<application>MPlayer</application> does not work on Mac OS versions before
|
|
10, but should compile out-of-the-box on Mac OS X 10.2 and up.
|
|
The preferred compiler is the Apple version of
|
|
GCC 3.x or later.
|
|
You can get the basic compilation environment by installing Apple's
|
|
<ulink url="http://developer.apple.com/tools/download/">Xcode</ulink>.
|
|
If you have Mac OS X 10.3.9 or later and QuickTime 7
|
|
you can use the <option>macosx</option> video output driver.
|
|
</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>
|
|
Unfortunately, this basic environment will not allow you to take advantage
|
|
of all the nice features of <application>MPlayer</application>.
|
|
For instance, in order to have OSD support compiled in, you will
|
|
need to have <systemitem class="library">fontconfig</systemitem>
|
|
and <systemitem class="library">freetype</systemitem> libraries
|
|
installed on your machine. Contrary to other Unixes such as most
|
|
Linux and BSD variants, OS X does not have a package system
|
|
that comes with the system.
|
|
</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>
|
|
There are at least two to choose from:
|
|
<ulink url="http://fink.sourceforge.net/">Fink</ulink> and
|
|
<ulink url="http://www.macports.org/">MacPorts</ulink>.
|
|
Both of them provide about the same service (i.e. a lot of packages to
|
|
choose from, dependency resolution, the ability to simply add/update/remove
|
|
packages, etc...).
|
|
Fink offers both precompiled binary packages or building everything from
|
|
source, whereas MacPorts only offers building from source.
|
|
The author of this guide chose MacPorts for the simple fact that its basic
|
|
setup was more lightweight.
|
|
Later examples will be based on MacPorts.
|
|
</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>
|
|
For instance, to compile <application>MPlayer</application> with OSD support:
|
|
<screen>sudo port install pkgconfig</screen>
|
|
This will install <application>pkg-config</application>, which is a system for
|
|
managing library compile/link flags.
|
|
<application>MPlayer</application>'s <systemitem>configure</systemitem> script
|
|
uses it to properly detect libraries.
|
|
Then you can install <application>fontconfig</application> in a
|
|
similar way:
|
|
<screen>sudo port install fontconfig</screen>
|
|
Then you can proceed with launching <application>MPlayer</application>'s
|
|
<systemitem>configure</systemitem> script (note the
|
|
<systemitem>PKG_CONFIG_PATH</systemitem> and <systemitem>PATH</systemitem>
|
|
environment variables so that <systemitem>configure</systemitem> finds the
|
|
libraries installed with MacPorts):
