.SH DESCRIPTION
.I mplayer
Yes. Yet another movie player for linux.
What is the special with this? It works, at least for me :)
I've 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...
.LP
.SH "GENERAL OPTIONS"
.TP
.I NOTE
MPlayer works out-of-the-box, so you generally don't have to mess with
any options.
.TP
.I NOTE
Every "flag" option has "noflag" pair, e.g. -fs opposite is -nofs
.TP
.B \-vo\ <driver>[:<subdriver>]
select video output driver. "subdriver" is valid only when you specify
a driver like SDL or GGI, which use alternative means to produce video.
Like: -vo sdl:aalib (or dga, fbdev, svga, x11, ggi)
you can get the list of available drivers executing
.I mplayer -vo help
.TP
.B \-ao\ <driver>[:<subdriver>]
select audio output driver. "subdriver" is valid only when you specify
SDL as driver, which uses alternative means to produce audio.
Like: -ao sdl:esd (or arts)
If using OSS, you can specify which sound device to use like this :
-ao oss:/dev/dsp0
you can get the list of available drivers executing
.I mplayer -ao help
.TP
.B \-vcd\ track
play video cd track from device instead of plain file
.TP
.B \-dvdauth\ device
specify DVD-ROM drive to use for MPEG2 decoding.
(use *_only_* when playing from DVD!)
.TP
.B \-nosound
don't play sound
.TP
.B \-fs
fullscreen playing (centers movie, and makes black
bands around it)
.TP
.B \-vm
use XF86VidMode extension for mode changing
.TP
.B \-zoom
use software scaling, where available (use with -nofs)
.TP
.B \-x\ x
scale image to x width [if driver suppports!]
.TP
.B \-y\ y
scale image to y height
.TP
.B \-xy\ factor
scale image by <factor>
.TP
.B \-pp\ quality
apply postprocess filter on decoded image.
You need a STRONG CPU in order to use this!
The supported formats and settings are:
MPEG 1/2 0 (none), 1, 3, 7, 15, 31, 63
OpenDivX 0 (none), 1, 3, 7, 15, 31, 63
DivX 0 (none), 1, 2, 3, 4
.I NOTE
Maybe less/more.
.I NOTE
You can use this with OpenDivX encoding too! See ALPHA/BETA CODE section.
.TP
.B \-ffactor\ number
resample alphamap of the font. Can be:
0 plain white fonts
0.75 very narrow black outline [default]
1 narrow black outline
10 bold black outline
.TP
.B \-sub\ file
use/display this subtitle file
.TP
.B \-subfps\ rate
specify frame/sec rate of subtitle file
(ONLY for frame-based SUB files, i.e. NOT MicroDVD format!)
(default: the same as the movie)
.TP
.B \-subdelay\ sec
delays subtitles by <sec> seconds. Can be negative.
.TP
.B \-osdlevel\ level
specifies which mode the OSD should start in (0 : none, 1 : seek, 2: seek+timer)
(default = 2)
.TP
.B \-lircconf\ configfile
specifies a configfile for LIRC (see http://www.lirc.org) if you don't like the default ~/.lircrc
.IP
.SH "ADVANCED OPTIONS"
.TP
.I NOTE
These options can help you solve your particular problem.. Also, see the DOCS!
.TP
.B \-afm <1-5>
force audio format 1:MPEG 2:PCM 3:AC3 4:Win32 5:aLaw
.I NOTE
With DivX AVIs with MP3 audio, you can choose whether to use MP3LIB (option 1),
or Win32 DLL l3codeca.acm (option 4) (default). On CPUs with the 3DNow!
instruction set, the first gives more performance. Your mileage may vary.
.TP
.B \-sb\ position
seek to byte position
.TP
.B \-ss\ second
seek to second position
.TP
.B \-abs\ bytes
audio buffer size (in bytes, default: measuring)
.TP
.B \-delay\ secs
audio delay in seconds (may be +/- float value)
.TP
.B \-bps
use avg. byte/sec value for A-V sync (AVI)
.TP
.B \-aid\ id
select audio channel [MPG: 0-31 AVI: 1-99]
.TP
.B \-vid\ id
select video channel [MPG: 0-15 AVI: -- ]
.TP
.B \-fps\ value
force frame rate (if value is wrong in the header)
.TP
.B \-mc\ seconds/5frame
maximum sync correction per 5 frames (in seconds)
.TP
.B \-ni
force usage of non-interleaved AVI parser
.TP
.B \-include
specify config file to be parsed after the default
.TP
.B \-z\ <0-8>
specifies compression level for PNG output
0 : no compression
8 : max compression
.TP
.B \-idx
rebuilds INDEX of the AVI. Useful with broken downloads, or badly
created AVIs.
.TP
.B \-forceidx
force rebuilding of INDEX. Useful for testing, or AVIs with bad
indexes.
.TP
.B \-nodshow
disables usage of DirectShow video codecs
.TP
.B \-noxv
disable XVideo hardware acceleration (with SDL only!)
.TP
.B \-forcexv
force using XVideo (SDL!)
.TP
.B \-dumpaudio
writes audio stream of the file to ./stream.dump (mostly usable
with mpeg/ac3)
.TP
.B \-noframedrop
no frame dropping : every frame is played, audio and video may be out of
sync (default)
.TP
.B \-framedrop
frame dropping : decode all frames, video may skip
.TP
.B \-nodouble
disable doublebuffering (default). Currently this is only honoured by the DGA driver.
With the DGA driver this also disables OSD support but yields some speed gain.
.TP
.B \-double
enable doublebuffering. Currently this is only honoured by the DGA driver.
.TP
.B \-dvdkey key
key to decrypt stream encrypted with CSS. For example : -dvdkey F169072699

to display on. For example : -display xtest.localdomain:0
.TP
.B \-unicode
tells MPlayer to handle the subtitle file (with -sub option) as UNICODE.
Contrary: -nounicode
.TP
.B \-lircconf\ configfile
specifies a configfile for LIRC (see http://www.lirc.org) if you don't like the default ~/.lircrc
.TP
.B \-fsmode\ mode
This option workarounds some problems when using specific windowmanagers and
fullscreen mode. If you experience fullscreen problems, try changing this
value between 0 and 7.

-fsmode 1 ICCCWM patch
-fsmode 2 nothing in particular

.SH FILES AND DIRECTORIES
.TP

Fonts are searched in $HOME/.mplayer/font. There must be a font.desc
file, and files with .RAW extension.

MPlayer currently supports 6 subtitle formats : MicroDVD, SubRip, unnamed,
SAMI (smi), vplayer, RealMedia RT, ssa (Sub Station Alpha).
Sub files are searched in this priority : (for example /mnt/cdrom/movie.avi)
/mnt/cdrom/movie.sub
(SUB/srt/SRT/smi/SMI/rt/RT/txt/TXT)
