Some words about Siemens-DVB card support. by A'rpi
|
||||
==========================================
|
||||
|
||||
NOTE: this is very experimental!
|
||||
|
||||
Requirements:
|
||||
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
||||
- Siemens DVB-S card or compatible (technotrend,galaxis,hauppage etc)
|
||||
see www.linuxtv.org for details and download latest driver there.
|
||||
- MPlayer-CVS, ffmpeg-libavcodec. divx4linux is recommended for speed & pp.
|
||||
- Fast CPU - at least for software decoding (divx...)
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
How to enable?
|
||||
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
||||
|
||||
1. Download ffmpeg-CVS and copy libavcodec to mplayer (see DOC for details)
|
||||
Move this line from #ifdef CONFIG_ENCODERS .. #endif section to outside
|
||||
(after the #endif line) at libavcodec/utils.c:361 :
|
||||
register_avcodec(&mpeg1video_encoder);
|
||||
|
||||
2. Compile mplayer:
|
||||
./configure should detect it. If didn't, force with ./configure --enable-dvb
|
||||
If you have ost headers at non-standard path, set it with:
|
||||
--with-extraincdir=<your DVB source dir>/ost/include
|
||||
make
|
||||
make install
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
How to use?
|
||||
~~~~~~~~~~~
|
||||
To play standard mpeg 1/2 files: (hardware decoding)
|
||||
|
||||
mplayer -ao mpegpes -vo mpegpes -vc mpegpes file.mpg|vob
|
||||
|
||||
To play non-standard mpeg files: (software decoding)
|
||||
|
||||
mplayer -ao mpegpes -vo mpegpes file.mpg|vob
|
||||
|
||||
To play divx files:
|
||||
|
||||
mplayer -vo mpegpes -vc ffdivx|odivx file.avi|asf
|
||||
|
||||
To play non-25fps movies, or with slow CPU, add option: -framedrop
|
||||
|
||||
Image size:
|
||||
~~~~~~~~~~~
|
||||
DVB card allows only 2 vertical resolutions: 288 and 576.
|
||||
If your video height differs, you have to clip it or extend by adding
|
||||
black bands. It's done by mplayer, just specify image size using the
|
||||
-x and -y options. You must use either -y 288 or -y 576.
|
||||
|
||||
To force pan&scan (16:9 at 4:3 TV), add options: -x 352 -y 288
|
||||
|
||||
Mailing list:
|
||||

List's language is ENGLISH. Please avoid using german or other languages!
|
||||
Subscribe, and ask/discuss your problems here.
|
||||
I'll also post feature announces to this list.
|
||||
|
||||
Future plans/TODO:
|
||||
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
||||
|
||||
- display OSD and subtitles using DVB card's OSD feature
|
||||
- better (more fluent) playback of non-25fps movies
|
||||
- more speed optimizations
|
||||
- YUY2 support (for win32 codecs, like Indeo5 and WMV 7/8)
|
||||
- realtime transcoding between mpeg2 <-> mpeg4 (partial decompression)

DXR3/H+ video/audio output plugins manual by David Holm
|
||||
=======================================================
|
||||
|
||||
2001-12-04: Thanks to Inaki Garci'a Etxebarria of
|
||||
zapping.sourceforge.net we have now
|
||||
abandoned rte since it caused problems for
|
||||
users who didn't rtfm and compiled it with
|
||||
ffmpeg support. Instead we are now using
|
||||
libmp1e which is a modified version of mp1e.
|
||||
|
||||
2001-11-29: Thanks to Felix Buenemann I managed to
|
||||
optimize the odivx playback as well as add
|
||||
support for the rest of the codecs!
|
||||
|
||||
2001-11-28: ffmpeg replaced with mp1e, divx playback
|
||||
won't get much faster than this, huge thanks
|
||||
goes out to Ivan Kalvachev for helping me
|
||||
fix the final mp1e bugs (and contributing
|
||||
to the libvo2 development)
|
||||
|
||||
1. Introduction
|
||||
|
||||
The DXR3 and Hollywood+ are two not too different mpeg-(1/2) and ac3
|
||||
hardware playback cards that came at about the same time as the first
|
||||
dvd-rom drives hit the market. At that time most computers weren't
|
||||
powerful enough for synced software dvd playback. And even the faster
|
||||
(intel-based) computers had troubles with artifacts.
|
||||
Sigma Designs came up with the great idea to create a hardware
|
||||
mpeg-(1/2), ac3 decoder. Sigma Designs are known for their realmagic
|
||||
hardware (or they bought the company who came up with the first
|
||||
realmagic boards, I don't know which).
|
||||
Later Creative Labs thought, hey, we also wan't this product, and to
|
||||
distribute it with our dvd-drives (the DVD Encore packages if I recall
|
||||
correctly). So they bought the designs for the Hollywood plus and
|
||||
replaced the circuit used to produce a proper video feed for tv's
|
||||
called adv7170 or adv7175a depending on which h+ board you own with
|
||||
a bt865. The reason for this is beyond my understanding as this seems
|
||||
complete illogical to me, but I have had great experiences with
|
||||
bt(brooktree) circuits in the past, so I don't mind.
|
||||
Well, nowadays most people have no use for a mpeg-(1/2) or ac3
|
||||
hardware decoder since most computers these days have no problem doing
|
||||
this in software and have cycles left for posprocessing (removing of
|
||||
artefacts and other garbage produced by compression).
|
||||
These days, you have two uses for this card:
|
||||
1. You have a slow computer which you use for vcd/dvd playback
|
||||
2. You discover what I have done with the implementation of this as
|
||||
an audio/video output device for mplayer (read on and you'll find
|
||||
out).
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
2. Requirements
|
||||
|
||||
* First of all you will need the DXR3/H+ drivers properly installed.
|
||||
Version 0.9.0 or later
|
||||
|
||||
* Run <mplayerdir>/configure and make sure that DXR3/H+ support = yes
|
||||
|
||||
From here on compilation (of at least my code ;) should go without any
|
||||
problems.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
3. Usage
|
||||
|
||||
After installation you will have two new outdevices in mplayer:
|
||||
-vo dxr3 For video output
|
||||
-ao dxr3 For audio output
|
||||
|
||||
MPEG-1, MPEG-2, VCD and DVD Notes
|
||||
There are some notes to take into account here for optimum playback.
|
||||
When playing any mpeg-(1/2) file, this including usage of the "-dvd"
|
||||
and "-vcd" options you must either add the "-vc mpegpes" or edit
|
||||
codecs.conf and make sure videocodec mpegpes is listed above mpeg12.
|
||||
If you fail to do this you will only get software playback which kinda
|
||||
spoils most of the useful features of this card except for tv-out ;).
|
||||
Remember that if you edit the codecs.conf file and move the mpegpes
|
||||
section will have to specify "-vc mpeg12" if you want to playback
|
||||
any of these video types _without_ "-vo dxr3"!
|
||||
|
||||
DIVX Notes
|
||||
When playing divx's add "-vc odivx" for maximum performance.
|
||||
I've switched to mp1e from ffmpeg so it should be lightning fast now.
|
||||
|
||||
Other codecs:
|
||||
No "-vc <codec>" switches should be required as mplayer will autodetect.
|
||||
If you find an unsupported codec please contact me!
|
||||
|
||||
* Avoid running mplayer as root or setuid root as rtc timing seems to
|
||||
slow down playback on the dxr3 for some users. I will look into this
|
||||
at a later point as this hardly qualifies as a severe bug *
|
||||
|
||||

||||
|
||||

</P>
|

<P><B>In general:</B></P>
|

|
||||
<P>If something is big (logs etc) then it's better to upload to the ftp
|
||||
(gzipped), and include only path/filename in the bugreport!</P>
|
||||
|
||||
<P><B>I know what am I doing...</B></P>
|
||||
|
||||
<P>If you created a proper bugreport following the above steps, and you are
|
||||
sure it's mplayer bug, not compiler's problem or broken file, you've already
|
||||
readed through docs and you didn't find the solution, your sound drivers are ok,
|
||||
then you may want to subscribe to the mplayer-advusers list and send your
|
||||
bugreport there to get better and faster answer. But BE WARNED: if you post
|
||||
newbie or rtfm-type questions there, you'll be immediatelly banned, instead or
|
||||
getting answered!!! So don't flame us, subscribe -advusers only if you really
|
||||
know what are you doing and you feel you as advanced mplayer user or developer.
|
||||
(and about how to subscribe: find it out! if you're really an advanced user,
|
||||
it shouldn't be a problem for you...)

Notes:<BR>
|

- Do NOT mount VCD disks and play DAT files directly! It may work under windows
|
||||
but won't work under linux. You have to play them directly, with the -vcd
|
||||
option!<BR>
|
||||
- VCD disks usually have 2 tracks: a data track (containing autostart windows
|
||||
playback program, karaoke data etc) and a mode-2 track (the movie), so try
|
||||
-vcd 2 first!<BR>
|
||||
- the default VCD device is /dev/cdrom. if your device differs, then you have
|
||||
to make a symlink, or specify it in command line!
|
||||
</P>
|
||||
|
||||
<P>From Linux documentation:</P>
|
||||
|
||||
<P>Some CDROM drives are capable of changing their head-speed. There are several
|
||||
reasons for changing the speed of a CDROM drive. Badly pressed CDROMs may
|
||||
benefit from less-than-maximum head rate. Modern CDROM drives can obtain very
|
||||
high head rates (up to 24-times is common). It has been reported that these
|
||||
drives can make reading errors at these high speeds, reducing the speed can
|
||||
prevent data loss in these circumstances. Finally, some of these drives can
|
||||
make an annoyingly loud noise, which a lower speed may reduce.</P>
|
||||
|
||||
<P>The recommended way to do it is with a program called 'setcd' . It's kinda
|
||||
old, but won't be too hard to find on the Net. (UPDATE : new hdparm
|
||||
has an option for this !)
|
||||
Use it with :</P>
|
||||
|
||||
<P> <CODE>setcd -x [speed] [cdrom device]</CODE></P>
|
||||
|
||||
<P>Also you can try:</P>
|
||||
|
||||
<P> <CODE>echo current_speed:4 >/proc/ide/[cdrom device]/settings</CODE></P>
|
||||
|
||||
<P>but you'll need root privileges. I use following command too:</P>
|
||||
|
||||
<P> <CODE>echo file_readahead:2000000 >/proc/ide/[cdrom device]/settings</CODE></P>
|
||||
|
||||
<P>for 2MB prefetched reading from the file (it's useful for scratched CDROMs).
|
||||
It's recommended that you tuneup your CDROM drive also with hdparm:</P>
|
||||
|
||||
<P> <CODE>hdparm -d1 -a8 -u1 (cdrom device)</CODE></P>
|
||||
|
||||
<P>to enable using DMA access, readahead, and IRQ unmasking.
|
||||
(if you don't understand these, *read the hdparm manpage*)</P>
|
||||
|
||||
<P>Please refer to "<CODE>/proc/ide/[cdrom device]/settings</CODE>" for fine-tuning your
|
||||
CDROM.</P>
|
||||
|
||||
<P><B><A NAME=4.2>4.2. DVD playback</A></B></P>
|
||||
|
||||
<P>Yes, the real DVD support has been arrived. You don't need to play VOB files
|
||||
manually from disk thinking of the purpose of a file in the video_ts
|
||||
directory, you don't need worry it it's an encrypted disk or not (in old
|
||||
<B>MPlayer</B> you had to put '-dvdauth /dev/dvd' into the command line in case
|
||||
of encrypted discs), and you don't need even mount your disk to be able to
|
||||
play :)</P>
|
||||
|
||||
<P>IMPORTANT NOTE: please _DO_NOT_ require further features for DVD playback.
|
||||
This is the first version of some real DVD support inside <B>MPlayer</B> and
|
||||
we're busy with hunting bugs and implementing basic DVD player features.</P>
|
||||
|
||||
<P><B>MPlayer</B> uses libdvdread which has got built in support for IFO
|
||||
parsing, reading navi blocks and doing authentication/descrambling. libdvdread
|

<P>Ta sekcja zawiera informacje o kodekach DivX4 z <A
|
||||
HREF="http://www.projectmayo.com">ProjectMayo</A>. Ich pierwszą dostępną wersją
|
||||
alfa był OpenDivX 4.0 alfa 47 oraz 48. Wsparcie dla nich zostało dołączone w
|
||||
<B>MPlayerze</B>, i jest kompilowane standardowo. Dawniej używaliśmy kodu
|
||||
postprocessing z tych kodeków do opcjonalnego zwiększenia jakości filmów
|
||||
MPEG1/2. Teraz już stosujemy własny.</P>
|
||||
|
||||
<P>Nowa generacja tych kodeków potrafi nawet dekodować filmy zrobione z użyciem
|
||||
niesławnych kodeków DivX! Ale to jeszcze nie wszystko! Są one DUŻO szybsze, niż
|
||||
tradycyjne DLLe Win32 DivX. Zobacz poniżej opis konfiguracji. Jedyną wadą tych
|
||||
kodeków jest fakt, że aktualnie są one closed-source. :(</P>
|
||||
|
||||
<P>Kodeki można ściągnąć z następującego URL:</P>

<P>Uwaga: NIE zapomnij dodać /usr/local/lib do /etc/ld.so.conf !</P>
|

|
||||
<P><B>MPlayer</B> automatycznie wykrywa czy DivX4 jest (właściwie)
|
||||
zainstalowany, wystarczy go, tak jak zawsze, skompilować. Jeśli mplayer nie
|
||||
wykrywa DivX4, oznacza to, że nie zainstalowałeś go w taki sposób jak powyżej
|
||||
podano, i/lub popsułeś konfigurację (zobacz ostatnie pytanie w sekcji 5.1).</P>
|
||||
|
||||
<P>Używanie tego kodeka jest trochę skomplikowane. Ponieważ powstaje konflikt
|
||||
ze starym OpenDivX (jego API jest bardzo podobne do do tego z OpenDivX), kod
|
||||
OpenDivX jest wyłączony, również sterownik OpenDivX wywołuje tą bibliotekę.</P>
|
||||
|
||||
<P>Ogólnie możemy sprowadzić to zagadnienie do faktu, że masz dwie opcje do
|
||||
zastosowania tego kodeka:</P>

takiej konfiguracji na moim K6/2 500 z Matrox G400 mogę oglądać filmy

|

<P><B>MEncoder</B> (<B>MPlayer</B>'s Movie Encoder) is a simple movie encoder,
|
||||
designed to encode MPlayer-playable movies
|
||||
(<B>AVI/DVD/VCD/VOB/MPG/MOV/VIV/NET</B>) to other MPlayer-playable formats (see
|
||||
below). Currently it's in beta stage, and encodes only to <B>DivX4</B> (1 or 2
|
||||
passes) video, <B>PCM</B>/<B>MP3</B>/<B>VBRMP3</B> audio. Also has stream
|
||||
copying abilities. In the future, there will be cropping, resizing filters, and
|
||||
other interesting stuff.</P>

<LI>download the newest <B>DivX4linux</B> libs
|
||||
from <A HREF="http://avifile.sourceforge.net/download.htm">avifile.sourceforge.net</A>,
|
||||
and have them PROPERLY installed. This is needed for DivX4 (1/2 pass)
|
||||
encoding. And since this is mandatory (now), MEncoder is Linux-only.</LI>
|
||||
<LI>download and compile <B>libmp3lame</B> (from lame 3.89beta or lame CVS).<BR>
|
||||
<B>WARNING : DO NOT COMPILE LAME WITH <U>GCC 2.96</U> ! It won't

work properly !</B><BR>
|
||||
This
|
||||
is needed for CBR/VBR MP3 audio encoding ability. Note that a single
|
||||
<CODE>lame</CODE> binary isn't sufficient. BTW: the less optimization
|
||||
you use for lame, the better the quality will be. You can test
|
||||
quality by running <CODE>make test</CODE> after lame's compiling process
|
||||
is over. The resulting number should be less than <B>30</B>. Don't
|
||||
panic if it's <B>400</B> or so, you shouldn't heard any audible
|

quality decrease. Oh, and if your compiler doesn't even run <CODE>make test</CODE> ...
|

Well, delete that <B>GCC 2.96</B>.</LI>

|

|

<P>The name comes from the fact that this method encodes the file <I>twice</I>.
|
||||
The first encoding (dubbed <I>pass</I>) creates some temporary files with a
|
||||
size of few megabytes (do not delete them yet). In the second pass, the output
|
||||
file is created, using the bitrate data from the temporary file. The resulting
|
||||
file will have much better image quality. If this is the first time you heard
|
||||
about this, you should consult some guides available on the Net.</P>
|
||||
|
||||
<P>This example shows how to encode a DVD to a 2-pass DivX4 AVI. Just two
|
||||
commands are needed :<BR>
|
||||
<CODE> mencoder -dvd 2 -ovc divx4 -oac mp3lame -divx4opts br=1100
|
||||
-o movie.avi -pass 1<BR>
|

|
||||
|
||||
<A NAME=2.4.3.2><P><B><I>Rescaling movies</I></B></P>
|
||||
|
||||
<P>Often the need to resize movie images' size emerges. Its reasons can be many,
|
||||
examples are decreasing output file size, encoding SVCDs to DivX. Ripped DVDs
|
||||
are mostly rescaled, for example a 4:3 DVD should be 640x480, especially
|
||||
when you want it to fit to 1 CD, and have good quality at the same time.
|
||||
SVCDs have 480x480 size, and their header contains the aspect ratio the
|
||||
player should use (Ex.: 480x480 + 4:3 = 640x480). However when encoding to
|
||||
AVI (DivX) files, you have be aware that AVI headers don't store this
|
||||
value. Thus, the only solution is rescaling.</P>
|
||||
|
||||
<P>The output size is specified with the <CODE>-x</CODE>, and <CODE>-y</CODE>
|
||||
options. Furthermore, there are 3 rescaling filters in <B>MEncoder</B>, <I>0
|
||||
: fast 1 : bilinear</I>, <I>2 : bilinear</I>, <I>bicubic</I> (best quality).
|
||||
They can be specified with the <CODE>-sws</CODE> option. If not specified,
|
||||
<B>MEncoder</B> will use 0 : fast bilinear.</P>
|
||||
|
||||
<P>Rescaling is very simple :<BR>

It does, but you have to explicitly specify software scaling (it's SLOW!) with

the <CODE>-zoom</CODE> option. You better use XF86VidMode support:
|
||||
you must specify the -vm and the -fs switch, and you're done.
|
||||
Make sure you have the right Modelines in your XF86Config file, and
|
||||
try if the DGA driver (and SDL's DGA driver, see RTFM) works for you.
|

It's much faster. If SDL's DGA works too, use that, it'll be EVEN faster!

It's not zero, but it's built in into codec, so can't be measured separated.

You should try to play the file using -vo null and then -vo ... and check

the difference to see video_out speed...

Since 0.18pre4 we support libavcodec from the ffmpeg package. It contains
|

a C language DivX and OpenDivX decoder. The DivX decoder uses YV12 format
|

for output, thus it should work for you. Compile in libavcodec support.

There's no way to do it. Therefore this format deserves to die in flames.

Theoretically you can reverse engineer Real codecs built for Linux (they

are available as .so files), but in practice that's really difficult, even
|

if you know how the compiler used by Real is making assembler code.

|

|

<P>It's important to clarify a popular mistake. When people see a file with
|
||||
<B>.AVI</B> extension, they instantly declare that isn't an MPEG file.
|
||||
That's not true. At least not entirely. If you tell them that such a file
|
||||
can contain MPEG1 video, they laugh at you. Feel free to kick their dumbass
|
||||
faces, then tell them to RTFM.</P>
|
||||
|

<P>You see, a <B>codec</B> isn't equal to a <B>file format</B>.<BR>
|

Video <B>codecs</B> are: MPEG1, MPEG2, DivX, Indeo5, 3ivx.<BR>
|

Video <B>formats</B> are: MPG, AVI, ASF.<BR>

</P>
|
||||
|
||||
<P>In theory, you can happily put an OpenDivX video and MP3 audio
|
||||
into a <B>.MPG</B> format file. Though most players won't play it, since
|
||||
they expect MPEG1 video and MP2 audio (<B>.MPG</B> doesn't have the
|
||||
necessary fields to describe its video and audio streams, like <B>.AVI</B>
|
||||
does). Or put MPEG1 video to an .AVI. For example <A HREF="http://ffmpeg.sourceforge.net">ffmpeg</A> can
|
||||
create these files.</P>
|

<P>
|

<LI>MPG : this is the most <B>basic</B> form of MPEG file formats. Contains
|
||||
MPEG1 video, and MP2 (MPEG-1 layer 2) audio, or rarely MP1.</LI>
|
||||
<LI>DAT : this is the very same format as MPG, just different extension. Used
|
||||
on <B>Video CD</B>s. Due to the nature VCDs are created and Linux is designed,
|
||||
the DAT files can't be played nor copied from VCDs. You have to use the
|
||||
<CODE>-vcd</CODE> option to play the VideoCD.</LI>
|
||||
<LI>VOB : this is the MPEG file format on <B>DVD</B>s. The same as MPG, plus
|
||||
capability to contain subtitles, or non-MPEG (AC3) audio. Contains encoded MPEG2
|
||||
video, and usually AC3 audio, but MP2 is allowed too.<BR>
|
||||
<B>Read the <A HREF="cd-dvd.html#4.2">DVD section</A> !</B></LI>
|
||||
</P>
|
||||
|
||||
<P>In MPEG files, series of frames are grouped together, and are independent
|
||||
from the other groups. What this means is you can cut/join an MPEG file with
|
||||
standard file-tools (like dd, cut), and it remains completely functional.</P>
|
||||
|
||||
<P>One important feature for MPGs is that they have a field to describe
|
||||
the aspect ratio of the video stream within. For example SVCDs have
|
||||
480x480 resolution video, and in the header that field is set to 4:3, so
|
||||
it's played at 640x480. AVI files don't have this field, so one has to
|
||||
rescale it during encoding.</P>

<P><B><A NAME=2.1.1.2>2.1.1.2. AVI files</A></B></P>
|

|

<P>Designed by Micro$oft, the <B>AVI (Audio Video Interleaved)</B> is a
|
||||
widespread multipurpose format, currently used mostly for DivX and DivX4
|
||||
videos. Has many known drawbacks, and inabilities (for example in streaming).
|
||||
Has support for one video stream, and 99 audio streams. Can be as big as
|
||||
2Gb. There exists an extension for it to be bigger, called <B>OpenDMS</B>.
|
||||
M$ currently strongly discourages its use and propagates ASF/WMV. Not if
|
||||
anybody cares.<BR>
|
||||
<B>NOTE</B> : DV cameras can create two types of AVI format, one is the usual and
|
||||
playable, the other is neither.</P>
|
||||
|
||||
<P>There are two kinds of AVI files:
|
||||
<UL>
|
||||
<LI><B>Interleaved</B> : audio and video content is interleaved. This is the
|
||||
standard usage. Recommended and mostly used. Some tools create interleaved
|
||||
AVIs with bad sync. <B>MPlayer</B> detects these as interleaved, and this
|
||||
climaxes in loss of A/V sync, probably at seeking. These files should be
|
||||
played as non-interleaved (with the <CODE>-ni</CODE> option).</LI>
|
||||
<LI><B>Non-interleaved</B> : bad. First come the whole video stream, then the whole
|
||||
audio stream, thus needs a lot of seeking. It's very bad when playing from
|
||||
network or CDROM.</LI>
|
||||
</UL>
|
||||
</P>
|
||||
|
||||
<P>MPlayer supports 2 kind of timing for AVI files:
|
||||
<UL>
|
||||
<LI><B>bps-based</B> : it is based on bitrate/samplerate of video/audio stream. This
|
||||
method is used by most players, including avifile and windows media player.
|
||||
Files with broken headers, and files created with VBR audio but not
|
||||
VBR-compliant encoder will result in A/V desync with this method (mostly at
|
||||
seeking).</LI>
|
||||
<LI><B>interleaving-based</B> : it doesn't use bitrate value of the header, instead
|
||||
it uses the relative position of interleaved audio and video chunks. Makes
|
||||
some badly encoded file with VBR audio playable.</LI>
|
||||
</UL>
|
||||
</P>
|
||||
|
||||
<P>Any audio and video codec is allowed, but note that VBR audio isn't well
|
||||
supported by most of the players. The file format makes it possible to use VBR
|
||||
audio, but most players expect CBR audio, thus they fail with VBR. VBR is
|
||||
unusual, and Microsoft's AVI specs only describe CBR audio. I also note, that
|
||||
most AVI encoders/multiplexers create bad files if using VBR audio. Only 2
|
||||
exception (known by me): NaNDub and <A HREF="encoding.html">MEncoder</A>.</P>
|

|
||||
|

<P><B><A NAME=2.1.1.3>2.1.1.3. ASF/WMV files</A></B></P>
|
||||
|
||||
<P>ASF (active streaming format) comes from Microsoft. They developed two
|
||||
variants of ASF, v1.0 and v2.0. v1.0 is used by their media tools (windows
|
||||
media player and windows media encoder) and is very secret. v2.0 is published
|
||||
and patented :). Of course they differ, there is no compatibility at all (it's
|
||||
just another legal game). <B>MPlayer</B> supports only v1.0, as nobody has ever seen
|
||||
v2.0 files :) . Note, that .ASF files nowdays come with the extension .WMA or
|
||||
.WMV.</P>
|

|

<P><B><A NAME=2.1.1.4>2.1.1.4. QuickTime/MOV files</A></B></P>
|
||||
|
||||
<P>These are from Macintosh. Usually have extensions of .QT or .MOV . Note
|
||||
that since the MPEG4 Group chose QuickTime as the recommended file format
|
||||
for MPEG4, their .MOV files come with .MPG or .MP4 extension (interesting
|
||||
that in these files the video stream is a real .MPG file. With the
|
||||
<CODE>-dumpvideo</CODE> option you can even extract it.).</P>
|
||||
|
||||
<P><B>Codecs</B>: any codecs allowed, both CBR and VBR. Note: most new mov files use
|
||||
<B>Sorenson</B> video and QDesign Music audio. These formats are completely
|

secret, and only Apple's quicktime player is able to play these files (on
|

win/mac only).</P>

|

|

<P><B>MPlayer</B> happily demuxes VIVO file formats. The format's big
|

disadvantage is that it has no index block, nor fixed packetsize or sync bytes,
|
||||
and most files lack even keyframes, so forget seeking!</P>
|
||||
|

<P>VIVO/1.0 files' video codec is standard <B>h.263</B> . The VIVO/2.0 files'

<P>
|

<B>Question:</B> What is the problem with GCC 2.96 ? And with 3.x ?
|

</P>
|

|
||||
<P>
|
||||
<B>Answer:</B>
|
||||
</P>
|
||||
|
||||
<P>
|
||||
And for the people, who periodically asks what are the exact problems with
|
||||
gcc 2.96, my answer: <I>we don't know exactly.</I>
|
||||
There were various problems and new problems / bugs come up periodically.
|
||||
It is <I>not a single bug/problem</I>. We just see various bugreports, mostly
|
||||
gcc internal bugs, compiler syntax errors in source or bad code compiled. They
|
||||
all are solved using different version of gcc. I understand that gcc 2.96
|
||||
has different default optimization flags and they conflicts with our inline
|
||||
asm code, but we can't fix them, and we really don't want to fix them as they
|
||||
work with other compilers or gcc versions, and the fix may cause speed loss.
|
||||
</P>
|
||||
|
||||
<P>
|
||||
I think that the gcc 2.96 should be fixed to be option-compatible with other
|
||||
releases, but redhat guys refused to do it. If someone interested - ask
|
||||
Eugene K., avifile author, he has a long mailing with them, because they had
|
||||
the same problems with avifile. Finally he changed avifile source to
|
||||
<I>workaround</I> gcc 2.96 bugs...
|
||||
We simply has no interest and time to do it.
|
||||
</P>
|
||||
|
||||
<P>
|
||||
Ah, and about the pipe-in-comment bug: it wasn't really our bug.
|
||||
I've talked one of gcc maintainers, and he told me that gcc 2.96 and 3.x
|
||||
supports intel asm syntax, and it caused the pipe bug. But it <I>is</I> a bug,
|
||||
because gcc <I>silently</I>, without any warning, ignored the whole asm block!
|
||||
</P>
|
||||
|
||||
<P>
|
||||
Other gcc 3.x problems comes from broken libstdc++ or glibc header (std_*.h)
|
||||
installation. They are not our fault. MPlayer compiles and works well with
|
||||
gcc 3.x versions. <B>Only 2.96 is broken</B>, but it depends on many environment
|
||||
elements, including gcc 2.96 release number, enabled mplayer features, etc.
|
||||
<I>If it works for you using gcc 2.96, it doesn't mean it will work for everyone.</I>
|
||||

<B>Answer:</B>

No. You are wrong!
|
||||
Several projects (mainly which source contains high optimized inline asm code)
|
||||
had problems with gcc 2.96. For example: avifile, MESA / DRI, Wine, ffmpeg, lame.
|
||||
But other projects already workarounded gcc bugs (changed code which
|
||||
triggered compiler bugs) so they work for now.

<P>
|

<B>Answer:</B>
|

</P>
|
||||
|
||||
Good. Be happy. But you must know, it depends on many environment
|
||||
elements, including gcc 2.96 release number, enabled mplayer features, etc.
|
||||
<I>If it works for you using gcc 2.96, it doesn't mean it will work for everyone!</I>
|
||||
It only means that you are lucky, until you find a problem. But don't forget the
|

.I mencoder
|
||||
MEncoder (MPlayer's Movie Encoder) is a simple movie encoder, designed to
|
||||
encode MPlayer-playable movies (AVI/DVD/VCD/VOB/MPG/MOV/VIV/NET) to other
|
||||
MPlayer-playable formats (see below). Currently it's in beta stage, and encodes
|
||||
only to DivX4 (1 or 2 passes) video, PCM/MP3/VBRMP3 audio. Also has stream
|
||||
copying abilities. In the future, there will be cropping, resizing filters, and
|
||||
other interesting stuff.

.SH DESCRIPTION
|
||||
.I mplayer
|
||||
MPlayer is a movie player for LINUX (runs on many other Unices, and
|
||||
non-x86 CPUs, see section 6). It plays most MPEG, AVI and ASF/WMV files,
|
||||
supported by many native and Win32 DLL codecs. You can watch VideoCD,
|
||||
SVCD, DVD and even DivX movies too (and you don't need the avifile library
|
||||
at all!). The 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) 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. And what about the nice big antialiased shaded
|
||||
subtitles (7 supported types!!!) with european/ISO 8859-1,2 (hungarian,
|
||||
english, czech, etc), cyrillic, korean fonts, and OSD?
|
||||
.LP
|
||||
.SH "GENERAL OPTIONS"
|
||||
.TP
|
||||
.I NOTE
|
||||
Every "flag" option has "noflag" pair, e.g. -fs opposite is -nofs
|
||||
.TP
|
||||
.B \-gui
|
||||
start MPlayer with the GUI mode. You have to compile it in, for details
|
||||
see the documentation.
|
||||
.TP
|
||||
.B \-dvd\ titleid
|
||||
tell MPlayer which movies (marked with titleid) to play. For example
|
||||
sometimes '1' are trailers, and '2' is the real movie.
|
||||
.TP
|
||||
.B \-sid\ id
|
||||
Turns on DVD subtitle displaying. Also, you MUST specify a number which
|
||||
corresponds to a DVD subtitle language (1-...). For the list of available
|
||||
subtitles, use with the -v switch and look at the output. (EXPERIMENTAL)
|
||||
.TP
|
||||
.B \-chapter\ chapterid
|
||||
specify which chapter to start playing at. Examples can be found below.
|
||||
.TP
|
||||
.B \-dvdangle\ angleid
|
||||
some DVD discs contain scenes that can be viewed from multiple angles.
|
||||
Here you can tell MPlayer which angles to use. Examples can be found below.
|
||||
.TP
|
||||
.B \-vo\ <driver>[:<device>]
|
||||
select video output driver and optinaly device. "device" is valid with
|
||||
SDL and GGI too, it means sub-driver then (for example: -vo sdl:aalib).
|
||||
|
||||
you can get the list of available drivers executing
|
||||
.I mplayer -vo help
|
||||
|
||||
.TP
|
||||
.B \-ao\ <driver>[:<device>]
|
||||
select audio output driver and optinaly device. "device" is valid with
|
||||
SDL too, it means sub-driver then (for example: -vo sdl:esd).
|
||||
|
||||
If using OSS, you can specify which sound device to use like this :
|
||||
-ao oss:/dev/dsp1 (replaces the old -dsp option)
|
||||
|
||||
you can get the list of available drivers executing
|
||||
.I mplayer -ao help
|
||||

|
||||
output drivers support it.
|
||||
.TP
|
||||
.B \-zoom
|
||||
use software scaling, where available (use with -nofs). svga, x11, vesa
|
||||
output drivers support it.
|
||||
.TP
|
||||
.B \-flip
|
||||
flip image (useful for example for old Indeo codecs). Supported only(?)
|
||||
by the 'sdl' and 'x11' outputs.
|
||||
.TP
|
||||
.B \-x\ x
|
||||

|
||||
dynamically changes the level of postprocess, depending on spare CPU
|
||||
time available. Uses the same value ranges as -pp . The number you
|
||||
specify will be the maximum level used. Usually you can use some big
|
||||
number. You don't have to (and don't) use together with -pp !

<h2><a name="intro">1 Introduction</a></h2>
|

|
||||
The purpose of this document is to describe the MPlayer skin format.
|
||||
The information contained here might be wrong, for <em>a)</em> it is not me
|
||||
who wrote the GUI, <em>b)</em> the GUI is not finished, <em>c)</em> I might
|
||||
be wrong. So do not be surprised if something does not work as described here.

Thanks to <em>Zoltán Ponekker</em> for his help.

It does not really have anything to do with the skin format, but you should
|
||||
know that <em>MPlayer has <b>no</b> builtin skin, so <b>at least one skin
|
||||
must be installed in order to be able to use the GUI.</b></em>

~/.mplayer/Skin/
|

</pre>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
Note that the first path may vary according to the way MPlayer was configured
|
||||
(see the <code>--datadir</code> argument of the <code>configure</code>
|
||||
script).
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
Every skin is installed into its own directory under one of the directories
|
||||
listed above, for example:
|
||||
<pre>
|
||||
/usr/local/share/mplayer/Skin/default/
|
||||
</pre>
|
||||
|

|

<h3><a name="images">2.2 Image formats</a></h3>
|
||||
|
||||
Images must be truecolor (24 or 32 bpp) and can be in
|
||||
BMP, PNG and TGA format (note that TGA images must be uncompressed).
|
||||
<em>The preferred format is PNG as it compresses very well.</em>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
In the main window (see below) you can use images with `transparency':
|
||||
regions filled with the color #FF00FF (<font color="#FF00FF">magenta</font>)
|
||||
are fully transparent when viewed by MPlayer. This means that you can even
|
||||
have shaped windows if your X server has the XShape extension.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
<h3><a name="parts">2.3 Parts of a skin</a></h3>
|
||||
|
||||
Skins are quite free-format (unlike the fixed-format skins of
|
||||
Winamp/XMMS, for example), so it is up to you to create something great.
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
Currently there are three windows to be decorated: the
|
||||
<a href="#mainwin">main window</a>, the <a href="#subwindow">subwindow</a> and
|
||||
the <a href="#skinmenu">skin menu</a> (which can be activated by a right
|
||||
click).
|
||||
|
||||
<ul>
|
||||
<li>
|
||||
The <b>main window</b> is where you can control MPlayer. The background of
|
||||
the window is an image. Various items can (and must) be
|
||||
placed in the window: <em>buttons</em>, <em>potmeters</em> (sliders, if
|
||||
you like it better) and <em>labels</em>. For every item, you must
|
||||
specify its position and size.
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
A <b>button</b> has three states (pressed, released,
|
||||
disabled), so its image must be divided into three parts vertically.
|
||||
See the <a href="#main.button">button</a> item for details.
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
A <b>potmeter</b> (mainly used for the seek bar and volume/balance
|
||||
control) can have any number of phases by dividing its image into different
|
||||
parts below each other.
|
||||
See <a href="#main.hpotmeter">hpotmeter</a> and
|
||||
<a href="#main.potmeter">potmeter</a> for details.
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
<b>Labels</b> are a bit special: the characters needed to draw them are taken
|
||||
from an image file, and the characters in the image are described
|
||||
by a <a href="#fonts">font description file</a>.
|
||||
The latter is a plain text file which specifies
|
||||
the x,y position and size of each character in the image. (So the
|
||||
image file and its font description file form a font <em>together</em>.)
|
||||
See <a href="#main.dlabel">dlabel</a> and <a href="#main.slabel">slabel</a>
|
||||
for details.
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
<em class=note>
|
||||
<b>Note:</b> all images can have full transparency as described in the
|
||||
section about <a href="#images">image formats</a>.
|
||||
</em>
|
||||
</li>
|
||||
|
||||
<li>
|
||||
The <b>subwindow</b> is where the movie appears. It can display a specified
|
||||
image if there is no movie loaded (it is quite boring to have an empty
|
||||
window :-))
|
||||
<em class=note><b>Note:</b> transparency
|
||||
is <b>not allowed</b> here.</em>
|
||||
</li>
|
||||
|
||||
<li>
|
||||
The <b>skin menu</b> is just a way to control MPlayer by means of
|
||||
menu entries. Two images are required for the menu: one of them is the base
|
||||
image that shows the menu in its normal state, the other one is used to
|
||||
display the selected entries. When you pop up the menu, the first image is
|
||||
shown. If you move the mouse over the menu entries, the currently selected
|
||||
entry is copied from the second image over the menu entry below the mouse
|
||||
pointer. (So the second image is never shown in whole.)
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
A menu entry is defined by its position and size in the image (see the
|
||||
section about the <a href="#skinmenu">skin menu</a> for details).
|
||||
</li>
|
||||
</ul>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
There is an important thing not mentioned yet: for buttons, potmeters and
|
||||
menu entries to work, MPlayer must know what to do if they are clicked.
|
||||
This is done by <a href="#guimsg">messages</a> (events). For these items
|
||||
you must define the messages to be genereated when they are clicked.
|
||||
|
||||
<h3><a name="files">2.4 Files</a></h3>
|
||||
|
||||
You need the following files to build a skin.
|
||||
<ul>
|
||||
<li>
|
||||
The configuration file named <a href="#skin">skin</a> tells MPlayer how
|
||||
to put different parts of the skin together and what to do if you click
|
||||
somewhere in the window.
|
||||
</li>
|
||||
<li>The background image for the main window.</li>
|
||||
<li>Images for the items in the main window (including one or more font
|
||||
description files needed to draw labels).</li>
|
||||
<li>The image to be displayed in the subwindow (optional).</li>
|
||||
<li>Two images for the skin menu (they are needed only if you want to create
|
||||
a menu).
|
||||
</ul>
|
||||
|
||||
With the exception of the skin configuration file, you can name the other
|
||||
files whatever you want (but note that font description files must have
|
||||
.fnt extension).
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
<h2><a name="skin">3 The <code><b>skin</b></code> file</a></h2>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
As mentioned above, this is the skin configuration file.
|
||||
It is line oriented; comment lines start with a '<code>;</code>' character
|
||||
at the beginning of the line (only spaces and tabs are allowed before the
|
||||
'<code>;</code>').
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
The file is made up of sections. Each section describes the skin for an
|
||||
application and has the following form:
|
||||
<table border=1 width="100%"><tr bgcolor=silver><td><pre>
|
||||
section = <i>section name</i>
|
||||
.
|
||||
.
|
||||
.
|
||||
end
|
||||
</pre></td></tr></table>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
Currently there is only one application, so you need only one section:
|
||||
its name is <b>movieplayer</b>.
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
Within this section each window is described by a block in the following form:
|
||||
<table border=1 width="100%"><tr bgcolor=silver><td><pre>
|
||||
window = <i>window name</i>
|
||||
.
|
||||
.
|
||||
.
|
||||
end
|
||||
</pre></tr></td></table>
|
||||
where <i>window name</i> can be one of these strings:
|
||||
<ul>
|
||||
<li><b>main</b> - for the main window</li>
|
||||
<li><b>sub</b> - for the subwindow</li>
|
||||
<li><b>menu</b> - for the skin menu</li>
|
||||
</ul>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
(The sub and menu block is optional---you do not need to create a menu or
|
||||
to decorate the subwindow.)
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
Within a window block, you can define each item for the window
|
||||
by a line in this form:
|
||||
|
||||
<blockquote>
|
||||
<pre>
|
||||
item = parameter
|
||||
</pre>
|
||||
</blockquote>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
where <i>item</i> is a string that identifies the type of the GUI item,
|
||||
<i>parameter</i> is a numeric or textual value (or a list of values
|
||||
separated by commas).
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
Putting the above together, the whole file looks something like this:
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
<table border=1 width="100%"><tr bgcolor=silver><td><pre>
|
||||
section = movieplayer
|
||||
window = main
|
||||
; ... items for main window ...
|
||||
end
|
||||
|
||||
window = sub
|
||||
; ... items for subwindow ...
|
||||
end
|
||||
|
||||
window = menu
|
||||
; ... items for skin menu ...
|
||||
end
|
||||
end
|
||||
</pre></tr></td></table>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
Finally some words about specifying images for the various items.
|
||||
<br>
|
||||
The name of an image file must be given without leading directories---
|
||||
images are searched in the directory of the skins. You may (but you need not)
|
||||
specify the file's extension. If the file doesn't exist, MPlayer tries to
|
||||
load the file <i><filename>.<ext></i>, where <i>tga</i>,
|
||||
<i>TGA</i>, <i>bmp</i>, <i>BMP</i>, <i>png</i> and <i>PNG</i> is tried
|
||||
for <i><ext></i> (in this order). The first matching file will be used.
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
|
||||
<table border=1 cellpadding=5 width="100%"><tr bgcolor="#ffffcc"><td>
|
||||
Here is an example to make this clear. Suppose that you have an image called
|
||||
<i>main.png</i> that you use for the main window:
|
||||
<blockquote>
|
||||
<pre>
|
||||
base = main, -1, -1
|
||||
</pre>
|
||||
</blockquote>
|
||||
|
||||
MPlayer tries to load <i>main</i>, <i>main.tga</i>, <i>main.TGA</i>,
|
||||
<i>main.bmp</i> etc, so <i>main.png</i> will be found.
|
||||
<br>
|
||||
If (by accident) you wrote
|
||||
<blockquote>
|
||||
<pre>
|
||||
base = main.bmp, -1, -1
|
||||
</pre>
|
||||
</blockquote>
|
||||
then <i>main.bmp</i>, <i>main.bmp.tga</i>, <i>main.bmp.TGA</i>,
|
||||
<i>main.bmp.bmp</i> would be searched and MPlayer would finally give up
|
||||
because there is no <i>main.bmp</i> in the directory, but <i>main.png</i>.
|
||||

hpotmeter can have a button that can be dragged horizontally.

The parameters are:

Place a static label at the <i>x</i>,<i>y</i> position.
|

<i>text</i> is displayed using the font identified by <i>fontid</i>.
|

The text is just a raw string ($x variables do not work) that must be enclosed

<h3><a name="subwindow">3.2 Subwindow</a></h3>
|
||||
|
||||
The following items can be used in the
|
||||
'<code>window = sub</code>' . . . '<code>end</code>' block.
|
||||
|
||||
<dl>
|

<dt><a name="sub.base">

</a></dt>
|

<dd>
|
||||
The image to be displayed in the window.
|
||||
The window will appear at the given <i>x</i>,<i>y</i> position
|
||||
on the screen (0,0 is the top left corner). You can specify -1 for center
|
||||
and -2 for right (x) and bottom (y). The window will be as large as the image.
|
||||
<i>width</i> and <i>height</i> gives the size of the window; they are
|
||||
optional (if they are missing, the window is the same size as the image).
|
||||

Lets you set the background color. It is useful if the image is smaller than
|
||||
the window.
|
||||
<i>r</i>, <i>g</i> and <i>b</i> specifies the red, green and blue
|

<h3><a name="skinmenu">3.3 Skin menu</a></h3>
|
||||
|
||||
As mentioned earlier, the menu is displayed using two images.
|
||||
Normal menu entries are taken from the image specified by the <i>base</i>
|
||||
item, while the currently selected entry is taken from the image specified
|
||||
by the <i>selected</i> item.
|
||||
You must define the position and size of each menu entry by the <i>menu</i>
|
||||
item.
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
These are the items that can be used in the '<code>window = menu</code>'
|
||||
. . . '<code>end</code>' block.
|
||||
|
||||
<dl>
|
||||
<dt><a name="menu.base">
|

</a></dt>
|

<dd>
|
||||
Defines the <i>x</i>,<i>y</i> position and the size of a menu entry in
|

the images. <i>message</i> is the message to be generated when

the mouse button is released over the entry.

<h2><a name="fonts">4 Fonts</a></h2>
|
||||
|
||||
As mentioned in the section about the parts of a skin, a font is defined
|
||||
by an image and a description
|
||||
file. You can place the characters anywhere in the image, but make sure that
|
||||
their position and size is given in the description file exactly.
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
The font description file (with .fnt extension) can have comment
|
||||
lines starting with '<code>;</code>'.
|
||||
The file must have a line in the form
|
||||
<blockquote>
|
||||
<pre>
|
||||
image = <i>image</i>
|
||||
</pre>
|
||||
</blockquote>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
where <i>image</i> is the name of the image file to be used for
|
||||
the font (you do not have to specify the extension).
|
||||
The above line is followed by character definition lines of the form:
|
||||
|
||||
<blockquote>
|
||||
<pre>
|
||||
"<i>char</i>" = <i>x, y, w, h</i>
|
||||
</pre>
|
||||
</blockquote>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
Here <i>x</i> and <i>y</i> specifies the position of the
|
||||
<i>char</i> character in the image (0,0 is the upper left corner).
|
||||
<i>w</i> and <i>h</i> is the width and height of the character
|
||||
(in pixels, of course).
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
Here is an example that defines the A, B, C characters using font.png.
|
||||
<table width="100%" border=1><tr bgcolor=silver><td><pre>
|
||||
; can be "font" instead of "font.png"
|
||||
image = font.png
|
||||
|
||||
; Three characters are enough for demonstration only. :-)
|
||||
"A" = 0,0, 7,13
|
||||
"B" = 7,0, 7,13
|
||||
"C" = 14,0, 7,13
|
||||
</pre></td></tr></table>
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
<h3><a name="symbols">4.1 Symbols</a></h3>
|
||||
|
||||
Some characters have special meanings when returned by some of the variables
|
||||
used in
|
||||
<a href="#main.dlabel">dlabel</a>; these characters are meant to be
|
||||
displayed as symbols. (For example, in case of a DVD stream, you could display
|
||||
a nice DVD logo instead of the character 'd'.)
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
The following table lists all the characters that can be used to display
|
||||
symbols (and thus require a different font).
|
||||
|
||||

<P>The fact is, Linux soundcard drivers are usually shit, and always as
|

incompatible as they can be. It MAY take a while to find your optimal settings.</P>
|
||||
<P><UL>
|
||||
<LI>if you have OSS as driver, first try with <I>-ao oss</I> (this is the default).
|
||||
If you experience glitches, halts or anything out of the ordinary, have a
|
||||
look at <I>-ao sdl</I> (NOTE: of course you'll have to have a new SDL library and its
|
||||
devel pair installed). It helps in a lot of cases (it also supports ESD, ARTS, and
|
||||
up/downsampling. /esd is GNOME's, arts is KDE's sound daemon/).</LI>
|
||||
<LI>if you have ALSA version 0.5, then you ALMOST always have to use <I>-ao alsa5</I> ,
|
||||
since 0.5 has buggy OSS emulation code, and will <B>crash MPlayer</B> with
|
||||
a message like this:<BR>
|
||||
<UL>
|
||||
<CODE>DEMUXER: Too many (945 in 8390980 bytes) video packets in the buffer!</CODE></UL>
|
||||
</LI>
|
||||
<LI>if you have ALSA version 0.9, use <I>-ao oss</I> or <I>-ao sdl</I> as you
|
||||
wish. You can also use <I>-ao alsa9</I> as it works now, however it has many
|
||||
problems (losing sync, disappearing audio, etc).</LI>
|
||||
</UL></P>
|
||||
|
||||
<P>On <B>Solaris/FreeBSD</B> systems, use the SUN audio driver with the

<I>-ao sun</I> option, otherwise you'll have no video, nor audio playing.</P>

<P><B><I>In medias res</I></B></P>
|
||||
|
||||
<P>There are two major topic which always causes huge dispute and flame on the
|
||||
<A HREF="http://www.MPlayerHQ.hu/cgi-bin/htsearch">mplayer-users</A>
|
||||
mailing list. Number one is of course the topic of the</P>
|
||||
|
||||
<P><B><I>GCC 2.96 series</I></B></P>
|
||||
|
||||
<P><B>Also read <A HREF="gcc-2.96-3.0.html">this</A> text !!!</B></P>
|
||||
|
||||
<P>The <I>background</I> : there were/are the GCC <B>2.95</B> series. The
|
||||
best of them was 2.95.3 . Please note the style of the version numbering.
|
||||
This is how the GCC team numbers their compilers. The 2.95 series are good.
|
||||
We never ever saw anything that was miscompiled because of the 2.95's faultiness.</P>
|
||||
|
||||
<P>The <I>action</I> : <B>RedHat</B> started to include a GCC version of <B>2.96</B>
|
||||
with their distributions. Note the version numbering. This should be the GCC
|
||||
team's versioning. They patched the CVS version of GCC (something between 2.95 and 3.0)
|
||||
They patched it very deep, and used this version in the distrib because 3.0
|
||||
wasn't out at time, and they wanted IA64 support ASAP (business reasons).
|
||||
Oh, and GCC 2.95 miscompiles bash on the s390 architecture (there is
|
||||
no RedHat distribution for s390..) .</P>
|
||||
|
||||
<P>The <I>facts</I> : <B>MPlayer</B>'s compile process needs the
|
||||
<CODE>--disable-gcc-checking</CODE> to proceed upon detecting a GCC version of
|
||||
2.96 (apparently it needs this option on <B>egcs</B> too. It's because we don't
|
||||
test <B>MPlayer</B> on egcs. Pardon us, but we rather develop <B>MPlayer</B>).
|
||||
If you know <B>MPlayer</B>, you should know that it has great speed. It
|
||||
achieves this by having overoptimized MMX/SSE/3DNow/etc codes, fastmemcpy, and
|
||||
lots of other features. <B>MPlayer</B> contained MMX/3DNow instructions in a
|
||||
syntax that all Linux compilers accept it... except RedHat's GCC (it's more
|
||||
standard compliant). It simply <B><I>skips</I></B> them. It doesn't give
|
||||
errors. It doesn't give warnings. <B>And</B>, there is Lame. With gcc 2.96, its quality check
|
||||
(<CODE>make test</CODE> after compiling) <I>doesn't even run !!!</I>
|
||||
But hey, it compiles bash on s390 and IA64.</P>
|
||||
|
||||
<P>The <I>statements</I> : most developers around the world begun having
|
||||
bad feelings about RedHat's GCC 2.96 , and told their RedHat users to
|
||||
compile with other compiler than 2.96 . RedHat users' disappointment slowly
|
||||
went into anger. What was all good
|
||||
for, apart from giving headaches to developers, putting oil on anti-RedHat
|
||||
flame, confusing users? The answer, I do not know.</P>
|
||||
|
||||
<P><I>Present age, present time</I> : RedHat says that GCC 2.96-85 and above
|
||||
is fixed, and works properly. Note the versioning. They should have started
|
||||
with something like this. What about GCC 2.96.85 ? It doesn't matter now.
|
||||
I don't search, but I still see bugs with 2.96 . It doesn't matter now,
|
||||
hopefully now <B>RedHat will forget about 2.96</B> and turn towards <B>3.0</B>.
|
||||
Towards a deep patched 3.0...
|
||||
</P>
|
||||
|
||||
<P><I>What I don't understand</I> is why are we hated by RedHat users for
|
||||
putting warning messages, and stay-away documents in <B>MPlayer</B> .
|
||||
Why are we called "brain damaged", "total asshole", "childish" by
|
||||
<B>RedHat users</B>, on our mailing list, and even on the <B>redhat-devel</B> .
|
||||
They even considered forking <B>MPlayer</B> for themselves. RedHat users.
|
||||
Why? It's RedHat that made the compiler, why do <U>you</U> have to hate us?
|
||||
Are you <U>that</U> fellow RedHat worshippers? Please stop it. We don't hold
|
||||
a grudge against users, doesn't matter how loud you advertise its contrary.
|
||||
Please go flame Linus Torvalds, the DRI developers (oh, now I know why
|
||||
there were laid off by VA!), the Wine, avifile. Even if we are arrogant,
|
||||
are we not the same as the previously listed ones? Why do <B>we</B> have
|
||||
to suffer from your unrightful wrath?</P>
|
||||
|
||||
<P>I'm closing this topic. Think over it please. I (Gabucino) personally begun
|
||||
with <A HREF="http://www.redhat.com">RedHat</A>, then used Mandrake (sorry I
|
||||
don't know their URL), now I have <A
|
||||
HREF="http://www.linuxfromscratch.com">LFS</A>. Never held a grudge against
|
||||
RedHat or RedHat users, and I still don't. Hate is only comfortable. It
|
||||
won't bring you anywhere.</P>

<P><B><I>Binary distribution of MPlayer</I></B></P>
|
||||
|
||||
<P>Tons of users asked us about this. For example Debian users tend to say: Oh,
|
||||
I can <CODE>apt-get install avifile</CODE>, why should I <B>compile MPlayer</B> ?
|
||||
While this may sound reasonable, the problem lies a bit deeper than
|
||||
those-fuckin-MPlayer-developers-hate-gcc-2.96-and-RedHat-and-Debian.</P>
|
||||
|
||||
<P>Reasons: <B>Law</B></P>
|
||||
|
||||
<P><B>MPlayer</B> describes the <U>sourcecode</U>. It contains several files with incompatible
|
||||
licenses especially on the redistribution clauses. As source files, they are
|
||||
allowed to coexist in a same project.</P>
|
||||
|
||||
<P>Therefore, <U>NEITHER BINARIES NOR BINARY PACKAGES OF <B>MPlayer</B> ARE ALLOWED TO EXIST SINCE
|
||||
SUCH OBJECTS BREAK LICENSES</U>. PEOPLE WHO DISTRIBUTE SUCH BINARY PACKAGES ARE
|
||||
DOING ILLEGAL ACTIVITIES.</P>
|
||||
|
||||
<P>So if you know somebody who maintains a binary package then forward her/him
|
||||
this text and (ask him to) contact us. What (s)he is doing is illegal and IT IS
|
||||
NO LONGER <B>MPlayer</B>, but <U>his/her</U> mplayer. If it breaks, it is
|
||||
his/her fault. Don't come and cry on the <B>MPlayer</B> mailing lists, you will
|
||||
most likely be blacklisted.</P>
|
||||
|
||||
<P>For example that french guy called <B>Christian Marillat</B> who denied our
|
||||
request, and is still distributing binary Debian packages of <B>MPlayer</B>,
|
||||
despite the fact that there was at least one user who downloaded it and failed
|
||||
(of course compiling from source helped him). And there is <B>Guillaume
|
||||
Rousse</B>, who is doing the same, but making RPMs for Mandrake. Do not support
|
||||
criminals!</P>

<UL>

<LI><B>MPlayer's</B> speed (MMX, SSE, fastmemcpy, etc) optimizations are
|
||||
determined during compilation. Thus a compiled binary contains very
|
||||
processor-specific code. An <B>MPlayer</B> binary compiled for K6 will die
|
||||
on Pentiums and vice versa. This has to be workarounded by runtime
|
||||
detection, which is not an easy thing to do becase it causes massive speed
|
||||
decrease. If you don't believe (it was explained in details 10000 times on
|
||||
mplayer-users, search the archive), solve it and send us a patch. Someone
|
||||
begun work on it, but disappeared since then.</LI>
|
||||
<LI><B>MPlayer's</B> video/audio system is not plugin based. It is compiled
|
||||
into the binary, thus making the binary depend on various libraries (the
|
||||
GUI depends on GTK, DivX4 depends on libdivxdecore, SDL depends on libSDL,
|
||||
every SDL release contains an unique bug that has to be workarounded during
|
||||
compiletime, X11 output compiles differently for X3 and X4, etc). You may
|
||||
say: yes, let's make 30 versions of downloadable binaries! We won't. We
|
||||
will make these stuff pluggable in the future.</LI>
