Description
.jpg){kind=link}
The MPlayer plugin uses MPlayer to play video files other than the recordings. E.g. the famous DivX format can be played using this plugin.
Info
This plugin comes together with the mp3-plugin in one package. By default, both the MP3 and MPlayer plugin lib will be built from sources.
Hardware requirements
- faster hardware (e.g. >1GHz for DivX other formats might be less CPU intensive).
Software requirements
- MPlayer
- several codecs
- Lame
- FFMPEG
- mplayer.sh
Installation
To install lame
cd $SOURCEDIR tar xvzf lame-<VERSION>.tar.gz cd lame-<VERSION> ./configure --prefix=/usr/local make make install
FFMPEG
cd $SOURCEDIR
tar xvzf ffmpeg-<VERSION>.tar.gz
ln -s ffmpeg-<VERSION> ffmpeg
cd ffmpeg
./configure --prefix=/usr/local \
--enable-shared
make
make install
ldconfig
For MPlayer, see it's documentation and homepage.
See plugin installation.
Configuration
See also mp3-plugin.
MPlayer can work in one of two modes (changeable in the plugin setup)
- Slave (recommended)
- No further configuration is needed for this.
- Traditional
If "Traditional" is choosen /usr/local/bin/mplayer.sh.conf has to be altered
# Lirc RC File LIRCRC="/etc/lircrc.conf"
and MPlayer must be compiled with LIRC support!
Parameter
| Parameter (short) | Parameter (long) | Description |
|---|---|---|
| -m CMD | --mount=CMD | use CMD to mount/unmount/eject mp3 sources (default: mount.sh) |
| -M CMD | --mplayer=CMD | use CMD when calling MPlayer (default: mplayer.sh) |
Problems
MPlayer fails to decode movies
...with errors indicating ffdivx can't handle some fourcc coding or mpegpes can't scale properly: Make sure you use the mplayer.sh script from (5) and not the included example.
MPlayer plays no videos when the first DVB card has no MPEG decoder
- Try to alter dev/adapter0 in libvo/vo_mpegpes.c of the MPlayer sources.
- With new mplayer versions it is possible to give the correct video card in mplayer.sh.conf by
VO="mpegpes:card=2"
- Because the drivers don't always load in the same order, you can make things automagically (in mplayer.sh.conf):
VO="mpegpes:card=$(($(find /dev/dvb | grep video0 | cut -c17)+1))" AO="mpegpes:card=$(($(find /dev/dvb | grep audio0 | cut -c17)+1))"
Video is displayed in black and white
- It might be your TV doesn't support NTSC. Try to set the NTSC option in /usr/local/bin/mplayer.sh.conf to false.
- Does not work for DVDs and (S)VCDs.
