Prior to this patch, mplayer is incompatible of recognizing an AVI/MPEG4 (DivX) encoded with oggvorbis audio codec. It will refuse to play the movie, as it is unrecognized. This patch allows these types of AVIs to play. ok maintainer, pvalchev@

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, eg when using gui mode under
|
|
KDE. You can use config to change the shared memory limits without needing to
|
|
recompile the kernel, e.g., "config -e -o bsd2 bsd". On i386 it should be
|
|
sufficient to add 8 to shmseg and 2048 to shmmaxpgs.

Flavors:
|
|
|
|
sdl: enables sdl, requires devel/sdl
|
|
|
|
ggi: enables ggi, requires graphics/ggi
|
|
|
|
debug: enables debugging information
|
|
|
|
mad: enables mad, requires audio/mad
|
|
|
|
no_x11: disable audio/video output.
|
|
|
|
win32: enables win32 codecs (i386-only) To use this flavor, your
|
|
kernel must be rebuilt with option USER_LDT
|
|
|
|
vorbis: enables vorbis, requires audio/libvorbis. There is a hack
|
|
that allows AVI files to contain an Ogg Vorbis audio stream,
|
|
but makes them incompatible with standard AVI. You need this
|
|
to play those AVIs
