Porting notes for MPlayer
|
|
=========================
|
|
|
|
In addition to the comments in Makefile, porters should also read these
|
|
notes:
|
|
|
|
FFmpeg Linkage
|
|
--------------
|
|
|
|
We link the shared libraries from the graphics/ffmpeg port. This is what
|
|
--disable-ffmpeg_a does, however we still need the FFmpeg sources in the
|
|
build dir for this to work, hence we depend upon FFmpeg as a build dependency.
|
|
|
|
Ensure that FFmpeg was dynamically linked by using ldd on the MPlayer
|
|
binary and searching for one of the FFmpeg libs in the listing (eg.
|
|
libavcodec).
|
|
|
|
Selecting Codec Implementations
|
|
-------------------------------
|
|
|
|
As a general rule, we prefer to use FFmpeg implementations, but only if
|
|
they are good quality. If this is the case, try not to pull in external
|
|
codec libraries for the same codec.
|
|
|
|
There is an exception to this rule, which is where an external library
|
|
provides an encoder and decoder, and there is a decoder for the given
|
|
codec in FFmpeg, but no encoder; in such a case, go ahead and link the
|
|
external library so that users can encode with mencoder.
|
|
|
|
Be aware that some hardware lacks a floating point unit (ARM for
|
|
example). On these architectures, you should select integer decoders
|
|
where possible. Eg. Tremor instead of Vorbis.
|
|
|
|
External FAAC linkage (and graphics/ffmpeg's external FAAC linkage)
|
|
was disabled due to conflicting licenses. Only the FFmpeg's
|
|
internal "ffaac" encoder remains for use with encoding AAC in mencoder.

|
Rolling a Distfile
|
|
------------------
|
|
|
|
svn checkout svn://svn.mplayerhq.hu/mplayer/trunk mplayer-YYYYMMDD
|
|
cd mplayer-YYYYMMDD
|
|
./version.sh (this should create a version.h)
|
|
find . -name '.svn' | xargs rm -Rf
|
|
cd ..
|
|
tar cvf - mplayer-YYYYMMDD | xz -c -8e > mplayer-YYYYMMDD.tar.xz
|
|
|
|
Testing Mencoder
|
|
----------------
|
|
|
|
See here to know what you can contain it what:
|
|
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_container_formats
|
|
|
|
Make a h264/mp4 (although lavc containers are somewhat broken in mencoder):
|
|
mencoder -ovc x264 -of lavf -lavfopts format=mp4 -nosound -o out.mp4 <infile>
