MPlayer is a movie player for LINUX (runs on many other Unices, and
|
|
non-x86 CPUs, see the documentation). It plays most MPEG, VOB, AVI,
|
|
VIVO, ASF/WMV, QT/MOV, FLI, NuppelVideo, yuv4mpeg, FILM, RoQ, and some
|
|
RealMedia files, supported by many native, XAnim, and Win32 DLL codecs.
|
|
You can watch VideoCD, SVCD, DVD, 3ivx, FLI, and even DivX movies too
|
|
(and you don't need the avifile library at all!).
|
|
|
|
Another big feature of mplayer is the wide range of supported output
|
|
drivers. It works with X11, Xv, DGA, OpenGL, SVGAlib, fbdev, AAlib, but
|
|
you can use SDL (and this way all drivers of SDL), VESA (on every VESA
|
|
compatible card, even without X!), and some lowlevel card-specific
|
|
drivers (for Matrox, 3Dfx and Radeon) too! Most of them supports
|
|
software or hardware scaling, so you can enjoy movies in fullscreen.
|
|
MPlayer supports displaying through some hardware MPEG decoder boards,
|
|
such as the DVB and DXR3/Hollywood+ ! And what about the nice big
|
|
antialiased shaded subtitles (9 supported types!!!) with european/ISO
|
|
8859-1,2 (hungarian, english, czech, etc), cyrillic, korean fonts, and
|
|
OSD?
|
|
|
|
MPlayer might fail due to lack of shared memory, e.g. when using gui mode
|
|
under KDE. Starting with OpenBSD 3.3, sysctl(8) can modify the shared
|
|
memory parameters. In particular kern.shminfo.shmall might need to
|
|
be raised, e.g.
|
|
|
|
sysctl kern.shminfo.shmall=32768
|
|
|
|
On i386 mplayer can use win32 codecs if they are installed (package
|
|
win32-codecs) and if the machdep.userldt sysctl is enabled, e.g. by
|
|
entering
|
|
|
|
sysctl machdep.userldt=1
|
|
|
|
Both sysctl settings can also be achieved via /etc/sysctl.conf.
|
|
|
|
On arm (e.g. Zaurus) you may encounter slow video output.
|
|
In this case you can disable the X.Org screen rotation in
|
|
/etc/X11/xorg.conf. Depending on the video you are playing
|
|
you may want to pass the -framedrop or the -hardframedrop
|
|
option to mplayer.
|
|
By default we disable the internal mp3lib (mpg123), because
|
|
it relies on the FPU. Instead of using mp3lib the mad flavor
|
|
is enabled by default. If you want to use libmad as an audio
|
|
decoder please pass the -ac mad option to mplayer.
