This code was once part of subreader.c, then traveled to libass, and now made its way back to the fork of the fork of the original code, MPlayer. It works pretty much the same as subreader.c, except that we have to concatenate some packets to do auto-detection. This is rather annoying, but for all we know the actual source file could be a binary format. Unlike subreader.c, the iconv context is reopened on each packet. This is simpler, and with respect to multibyte encodings, more robust. Reopening is probably not a very fast, but I suspect subtitle charset conversion is not an operation that happens often or has to be fast. Also, this auto-detection is disabled for microdvd - this is the only format we know that has binary data in its packets, but is actually decoded to text. FFmpeg doesn't really allow us to solve this properly, because a) the input packets can be binary, and b) the output will be checked whether it's UTF-8, and if it's not, the output is thrown away and an error message is printed. We could just recode the decoded subtitles before sd_ass if it weren't for that. |

mpv
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.
