Possible issues with using MPlayer on OpenBSD:
all arches:
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
The GUI is deprecated so we stripped it from the build. You can use
x11/gnome-mplayer instead.
i386:
win32 codecs were disabled in OpenBSD's build, as the open-source codecs
are now of decent quality.
arm:
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.
The internal mp3lib (mpg123) is disabled 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.
See the package description for a list of FLAVORs and their meaning.
