MPlayer can play most standard video -formats out of the box and almost all others with the help of external codecs. -MPlayer currently works best from the command line, but visual feedback for -many functions is available from its onscreen status display (OSD), which is -also used for displaying subtitles. -MEncoder is a command line video encoder for advanced users that can be built -from the MPlayer source tree. Unofficial graphical frontends exist but are -not included. - -This document is for getting you started in a few minutes. It cannot answer all -of your questions. If you have problems, please read the documentation in -DOCS/HTML/en/index.html, which should help you solve most of your problems. -Also read the man page to learn how to use MPlayer. - - -Requirements: -- POSIX system: You need a POSIX-compatible shell and POSIX-compatible system - tools like grep, sed, awk, etc. in your path. -- You need a working development environment that can compile programs. - On popular Linux distributions, this means having the glibc development - package(s) installed. -- To compile MPlayer with X11 support, you need to have the X Window System - development packages (like for XFree86 or X.Org) installed. - - -Before you start... -Make sure that your version of X has Xvideo support, without it even very -fast machines may not be able to properly play high resolution videos in -fullscreen mode. Consult DOCS/HTML/en/video.html for details. There you may -also find out about special card-specific video output drivers that can yield -optimal performance. - - -______________________ -STEP0: Getting MPlayer -~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ - -Official releases and Subversion snapshots, as well as binary codec packages -available from the download section of our homepage at - - http://www.mplayerhq.hu/dload.html - -MPlayer has builtin support for the most common audio and video formats. For a -few formats no native decoder exists and external binary codecs are required -to handle them. Examples are newer RealVideo variants and a variety of rare -formats. However, binary codecs are NOT required in this day and age, they are -strictly optional. - -Please note that binary codecs only work on the processor architecture they -were compiled for. Choose the correct package for your processor. No other -package is necessary. - -Codec packages add support for some more video and audio formats. MPlayer does -not come with any of these by default, you have to download and install them -separately. - -You can also get MPlayer via Subversion. Issue the following commands to get -the latest sources: - - svn checkout svn://svn.mplayerhq.hu/mplayer/trunk mplayer - -A directory named 'mplayer' will be created. It will include all necessary -FFmpeg libraries, you don't need to get them separately as was the case in -the past. You can later update your sources by saying - - svn update - -from within that directory. - - -_______________________________ -STEP1: Installing Binary Codecs -~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ - -Unpack the codecs archives and put the contents in a directory where MPlayer -will find them. The default directory is /usr/local/lib/codecs/ (it used to be -/usr/local/lib/win32 in the past, this also works) but you can change that to -something else by passing the '--codecsdir' option to './configure'. - - -__________________________ -STEP2: Configuring MPlayer -~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ - -MPlayer can be adapted to all kinds of needs and hardware environments. Run - - ./configure - -to configure MPlayer with the default options. If something does not work as -expected, try - - ./configure --help - -to see the available options and select what you need. - -The configure script prints a summary of enabled and disabled options. If you -have something installed that configure fails to detect, check the file -config.log for errors and reasons for the failure. Repeat this step until -you are satisfied with the enabled feature set. - - -________________________ -STEP3: Compiling MPlayer -~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ - -Now you can start the compilation by typing - - make - -You can install MPlayer with - - make install - -provided that you have write permission in the installation directory. - -If all went well, you can run MPlayer by typing 'mplayer'. A help screen with a -summary of the most common options and keyboard shortcuts should be displayed. - -If you get 'unable to load shared library' or similar errors, run -'ldd ./mplayer' to check which libraries fail and go back to STEP 3 to fix it. -Sometimes running 'ldconfig' is enough to fix the problem. - -NOTE: If you run Debian you can configure, compile and build a proper Debian -.deb package with only one command: - - fakeroot debian/rules binary - -If you want to pass custom options to configure, you can set up the -DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS environment variable. For instance, if you want OSD menu -support you would use: - - DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS="--enable-menu" fakeroot debian/rules binary - -You can also pass some variables to the Makefile. For example, if you want -to compile with gcc 3.4 even if it's not the default compiler: - - CC=gcc-3.4 DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS="--enable-menu" fakeroot debian/rules binary - -To clean up the source tree run the following command: - - fakeroot debian/rules clean - -______________________________________ -STEP4: Choose an onscreen display font -~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ - -You can use any TrueType font installed on your system. Just pass '-font -/path/to/font.ttf' on the command line or add 'font=/path/to/font.ttf' to -your configuration file. The manual page has more details. Alternatively -you can create a symbolic link from either ~/.mplayer/subfont.ttf or -/usr/local/share/mplayer/subfont.ttf to your TrueType font. - - -__________________ -STEP5: Let's play! -~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ - -That's it for the moment. To start playing movies, open a command line and try - - mplayer <moviefile> - -To play a VCD track or a DVD title, try: - - mplayer vcd://2 -cdrom-device /dev/hdc - mplayer dvd://1 -alang en -slang hu -dvd-device /dev/hdd - -See 'mplayer -help' and 'man mplayer' for further options. - -'mplayer -vo help' will show you the available video output drivers. Experiment -with the '-vo' switch to see which one gives you the best performance. -If you get jerky playback or no sound, experiment with the '-ao' switch (see -'-ao help') to choose between different audio drivers. Note that jerky playback -is caused by buggy audio drivers or a slow processor and video card. With a -good audio and video driver combination, one can play DVDs and 720x576 MPEG-4 -files smoothly on a Celeron 366. Slower systems may need the '-framedrop' -option. - -Questions you may have are probably answered in the rest of the documentation. -The places to start reading are the man page, DOCS/HTML/en/index.html and -DOCS/HTML/en/faq.html. If you find a bug, please report it, but first read -DOCS/HTML/en/bugreports.html. +Compiling with full features requires development files for several +external libraries. Below is a list of some important requirements. For +more information see the output of './configure --help' for a list of options, +or look at the list of enabled and disabled features printed after running +'./configure'. If you think you have support for some feature installed +but configure fails to detect it, the file config.log may contain information +about the reasons for the failure. + +Libraries specific to particular video output methods +(you'll want at least one of VDPAU, GL or Xv): + - libvdpau (for VDPAU output, best choice for NVIDIA cards) + - libGL (OpenGL output) + - libXv (XVideo output) +general: + - libasound (ALSA audio output) + - various general X development libraries + - libfreetype + - libfontconfig + - libass + - FFmpeg libraries (libavutil libavcodec libavformat libswscale libpostproc) + +Most of the above libraries are available in suitable versions on normal +Linux distributions. However FFmpeg is an exception (distro versions may be +too old to work at all or work well). For that reason you may want to use +the separately available build wrapper that first compiles FFmpeg libraries +and libass, and then compiles the player statically linked against those. |
