| 109 | |
| 110 <P><B><A NAME=1.1>1.1. Overview</A></B></P> | |
| 111 | |
| 1731 | 112 <P><B>MPlayer</B> is a movie player for LINUX (runs on many other Unices, and |
| 113 <B>non-x86</B> CPUs, see <A HREF="#6">section 6</A>). It plays most MPEG, AVI | |
| 114 and ASF files, supported by many native and Win32 DLL codecs. You can watch | |
| 115 <B>VideoCD</B>, <B>SVCD</B>, <B>DVD</B> and even <B>DivX</B> movies too. The | |
| 116 another big feature of mplayer is the wide range of supported output drivers. | |
| 117 It works with X11, Xv, DGA, OpenGL, SVGAlib, fbdev, AAlib, but you can use SDL | |
| 118 (and this way all drivers of SDL) and some lowlevel card-specific drivers (for | |
| 119 Matrox) too! Most of them supports software or hardware scaling, so you can | |
| 120 enjoy movies in fullscreen. And what about the nice big antialiased shaded | |
| 121 subtitles (7 supported types!!!) with hungarian, english, cyrillic, czech, | |
| 122 korean fonts, and OSD?</P> | |
| 1612 | 123 |
| 1682 | 124 <P>I didn't write any codecs, just some players. I spent |
| 125 a lot of time finding the best way to parse bad damaged input files | |
| 126 (both MPEG and AVI) and to do perfect A-V sync with seeking ability. | |
| 127 My player is rock solid playing damaged MPEG files (useful for some VCDs), | |
| 128 and it plays bad AVI files which are unplayable with the famous | |
| 129 windows media player. Even AVI files without index chunk are playable, and | |
| 130 you can rebuild their indexes with the -idx option, thus enabling seeking! | |
| 131 As you see, stability and quality are the most important things for me, | |
| 132 but the speed is also amazing.</P> | |
| 1612 | 133 |
| 1682 | 134 <P><B><A NAME=1.2>1.2. History</A></B></P> |
| 1612 | 135 |
| 1682 | 136 <P>This began a year ago... |
| 137 I've tried lots of players under linux (mtv,xmps,dvdview,livid/oms,VideoLAN, | |
| 138 xine,xanim,avifile,xmmp) but they all have some problem. Mostly with special | |
| 139 files or with audio/video sync. Most of them is unable to play both MPEG1, | |
| 140 MPEG2 and AVI (DivX) files. Many players have image quality or speed problems | |
| 141 too. So I've decided to write/modify one...</P> | |
| 1612 | 142 |
| 1682 | 143 <P><UL> |
| 144 <LI><B>mpg12play v0.1-v0.3:</B><BR> | |
| 1612 | 145 The first try, hacked together in a half hour! |
| 146 I've used libmpeg3 from www.heroinewarrior.com up to the version 0.3, | |
| 147 but there were image quality and speed problems with it. | |
| 1682 | 148 <LI><B>mpg12play v0.5-v0.87:</B><BR> |
| 1612 | 149 Mpeg codec replaced with DVDview by Dirk Farin, it was a great stuff, |
| 150 but it was slow and was written in C++ (I hate C++!!!) | |
| 1682 | 151 <LI><B>mpg12play v0.9-v0.95pre5:</B><BR> |
| 152 Mpeg codec was libmpeg2 (mpeg2dec) by Aaron Holtzman & Michel Lespinasse. | |
| 1612 | 153 It's great, optimized very fast C code with perfect image quality and |
| 154 100% MPEG standard conformance. | |
| 1682 | 155 <LI><B>MPlayer v0.3-v0.9:</B><BR> |
| 1612 | 156 It was a pack of two programs: mpg12playv0.95pre6 and my new simple AVI |
| 157 player 'avip' based on avifile's Win32 DLL loader. | |
| 1682 | 158 <LI><B>MPlayer v0.10:</B><BR> |
| 1612 | 159 The MPEG and AVI player in a single binary! |
| 1682 | 160 <LI><B>MPlayer v0.11:</B><BR> |
| 1612 | 161 Some new developers joined and from 0.11 the mplayer project is a team-work! |
| 162 Added .ASF file support, and OpenDivX (see www.projectmayo.com) en/decoding. | |
| 1682 | 163 <LI><B>MPlayer v0.17 "The IdegCounter"</B><BR> |
| 1612 | 164 The release version of the 0.11pre after 4 months of heavy development! |
| 165 Try it, and be amazed! Thousands of new features added... and of course | |
| 166 old code was improved too, bugs removed etc. | |
| 1682 | 167 <LI><B>MPlayer 0.18 "The BugCounter"</B><BR> |
| 1612 | 168 2 months since 0.17 and here's a new release.. Completed ASF support, |
| 169 more subtitle formats, introduced libao (similar to libvo but to audio), | |
| 170 even more stable than ever, and so on. It's a MUST ! | |
| 1682 | 171 </UL></P> |
| 1612 | 172 |
| 1682 | 173 <P><B><A NAME=1.3>1.3. Installation</A></B></P> |
| 1612 | 174 |
| 1748 | 175 <P>You'll need the following packages and versions if you don't want to |
| 176 experience any problems:<BR> | |
| 177 <UL> | |
| 178 <LI><B>binutils</B> - suggested version is <B>2.11.x</B> . This program is | |
| 179 responsible for generating MMX/3DNow!/etc instructions, thus very important.</LI> | |
| 180 <LI><B>gcc</B> - suggested version is from <B>2.95.2</B> to <B>2.95.4</B>. | |
| 181 <B>NEVER</B> use 2.96 or 3.x.x !!! They generate faulty code.</LI> | |
| 182 <LI><B>XFree86</B> - suggested version is <B>always the newest (4.1.0)</B>. Normally | |
| 183 everyone wants this. If you don't know why, you <B>do</B> need it.</LI> | |
| 184 <LI><B>make</B> - suggested version is <B>always the newest</B> (at least 3.79.x). This | |
| 185 usually isn't important.</LI> | |
| 186 </UL> | |
| 187 </P> | |
| 188 | |
| 189 <P>Read the following before trying to compile <B>MPlayer</B>:</P> | |
| 190 | |
| 1703 | 191 <UL> |
| 192 <LI>If you plan to use <B>MPlayer</B> on x86 architecture, you possibly want to use | |
| 1682 | 193 Win32 codecs. Download and unzip w32codecs.zip to /usr/lib/win32 . |
| 194 Note: the avifile project has similar codecs package, but it differs | |
| 1731 | 195 from ours, so if you want to use all supported codecs, then use |
| 1703 | 196 our package! However, you can use our codecs package with avifile.</LI> |
| 1682 | 197 |
| 1703 | 198 <LI>If you own a Matrox G200/G400/G450 card, then please see the <A HREF="video.html#2.2.1.7">2.2.1.7</A> |
| 1682 | 199 section in order to gain big speedup. It is important to do these steps |
| 1748 | 200 <I>before</I> compiling <B>MPlayer</B>, otherwise no Matrox-specific support will be |
| 1703 | 201 built.</LI> |
| 1682 | 202 |
| 1703 | 203 <LI>If you plan to use the ProjectMayo's <B>DivX4</B> codec, check the |
| 1731 | 204 <A HREF="codecs.html#2.1.2.1">2.1.2.1</A> section before compiling. |
| 205 This codec can play <B>DivX</B> movies much faster than the Win32 DLL, and | |
| 206 <B>ffmpeg</B>. It's closed-source, and only an x86 version is available.</LI> | |
| 207 | |
| 208 <LI>If you plan to use ffmpeg's <B>libavcodec</B>, check the | |
| 209 <A HREF="codecs.html#2.1.2.2">2.1.2.2</A> section before compiling. | |
| 210 You'll need this to gain <B>DivX</B> playing on non-x86 machines, or want to | |
| 211 gain bigger speed than the Win32 codec does.</LI> | |
| 1703 | 212 |
| 213 <LI>For DVD support, you'll have to compile libdvdread and libcss. | |
| 214 See <A HREF="cd-dvd.html#4.2">section 4.2</A> for more information.</LI> | |
| 215 </UL> | |
| 1612 | 216 |
| 1682 | 217 <P>Then build <B>MPlayer</B>:</P> |
| 218 | |
| 219 <PRE> ./configure | |
| 220 make | |
| 221 make install</PRE> | |
| 1612 | 222 |
| 1682 | 223 <P>It is recommended to browse the output of ./configure , it contains info |
| 224 about what will be built, and what won't. You may also want to view | |
| 225 config.h and config.mak files.</P> | |
| 1612 | 226 |
| 1682 | 227 <P>Though not mandatory, the fonts should be installed in order to gain |
| 228 OSD, and subtitle functionality. Download mp_font3.zip and optional | |
| 229 (if exists) language updates.</P> | |
| 1612 | 230 |
| 1682 | 231 <PRE> mkdir ~/.mplayer/font |
| 232 cd ~/.mplayer/font | |
| 233 unzip mp_font3.zip | |
| 234 unzip mp_font3_hu.zip</PRE> | |
| 1612 | 235 |
| 1846 | 236 <P>Only one thing remains: copy the <B>codecs.conf</B> file from the <CODE>etc</CODE> |
| 237 directory (relative to the <B>MPlayer</B> tree) to $HOME/.mplayer/codecs.conf.</P> | |
| 238 | |
| 1612 | 239 |
| 1682 | 240 <P><B><A NAME=1.4>1.4. What about the GUI?</A></B></P> |
| 1612 | 241 |
| 1682 | 242 <P>I'm not a GUI programmer. I hate GUIs, I like the pure black 80x25 console. |
| 243 So the player has only keyboard control from the controlling console/xterm now. | |
| 244 There is a GUI development for the player, coordinated by Pontscho/Fresh! | |
| 245 It's still under development, but it will be merged and released real soon. | |
| 246 BTW he needs some nice skins, if you are a good graphician, contact him!!!</P> | |
| 1612 | 247 |
| 1714 | 248 <P><B><A NAME=1.5>1.5. Subtitles and OSD</A></B></P> |
| 249 | |
| 250 <P>Yes, <B>MPlayer</B> also supports many kinds of subtitles. Currently | |
| 251 7 kinds of subtitle can be used by the subreader code. To see what are | |
| 252 these subtitle formats, see subreader.c, line ~20.</P> | |
| 253 | |
| 254 <P>Subtitles are displayed with a technique called <B>'OSD', On Screen Display</B>. | |
| 255 OSD is used to display current time, volume bar, seek bar etc.</P> | |
| 256 | |
| 257 <P><B>INSTALLING OSD and SUB</B></P> | |
| 258 | |
| 259 <P>You need an <B>MPlayer</B> font package to be able to use OSD/SUB feature. | |
| 260 There are many ways to get it: | |
| 261 <UL> | |
| 262 | |
| 263 <LI>use the font generator tool at TOOLS/subfont-c | |
| 264 It's a complete tool to convert from TTF/Type1/etc font to mplayer font pkg. | |
| 265 (read TOOLS/subfont-c/README for details) | |
| 266 | |
| 267 <LI>use the font generator GIMP plugin at TOOLS/subfont-GIMP | |
| 268 (note: you must have HSI RAW plugin too, see URL below) | |
| 269 | |
| 270 <LI>download ready-to-use font packages from <B>MPlayer</B> site. | |
| 271 Note: currently available fonts are limited for iso 8859-1/2 support, | |
| 272 and there are a few special versions for korean, russian etc codepages. | |
| 273 You better build fonts yourself with the tool mentioned above. | |
| 274 Font should have appropriate font.desc file which maps unicode font | |
| 275 positions to the actual code page of the subtitles text. Other solution | |
| 276 is to have subtitles encoded in utf8 encoding and use -utf8 option | |
| 277 or just name the subtitles file <video_name>.utf and have it in the same | |
| 278 dir as the video file. Recoding from different codepages to utf8 could be | |
| 279 done by using konwert (debian) or iconv (RedHat) programs.<BR> | |

| 1731 | 460 option to use the win32 codecs on the x86 platform, or can use MMX/MMX2/3DNow/etc |
| 461 instructions for MP3/DivX/DVD/whatever. On Solaris SPARC, | |
| 1682 | 462 you'll find quite a few AVI files with non working video and/or |
| 1731 | 463 audio playback, because the video/audio codecs using the Win32 DLLs |
| 1682 | 464 are not available. However, <B>DivX/OpenDivX</B> movies should work, |

| 980 <P>Video-out problems:</P> | |
| 981 | |
| 982 <P>First note: options -fs -vm and -zoom are just recommendations, not (yet) | |
| 983 supported by all drivers. So it isn't a bug if it doesn't work. | |
| 984 Only a few driver supports scaling/zooming, don't expect this from x11 or dga.</P> | |
| 985 | |
| 986 <P>OSD/sub flickering:<BR> | |
| 987 - x11 driver: sorry, it can't be fixed now<BR> | |
| 988 - xv driver: use -double option</P> | |
