+.PP +. +.\" -------------------------------------------------------------------------- +.\" Configuration files +.\" -------------------------------------------------------------------------- +. +.SH "CONFIGURATION FILES" +You can put all of the options in configuration files which will be read +every time MPlayer is run. +The system-wide configuration file 'mplayer.conf' is in your configuration +directory (e.g.\& /etc/\:mplayer or /usr/\:local/\:etc/\:mplayer), the user +specific one is '~/\:.mplayer/\:config'. +User specific options override system-wide options and options given on the +command line override either. +The syntax of the configuration files is 'option=<value>', everything after +a '#' is considered a comment. +Options that work without values can be enabled by setting them to 'yes' +or '1' or 'true' and disabled by setting them to 'no' or '0' or 'false'. +Even suboptions can be specified in this way. +.PP +You can also write file-specific configuration files. +If you wish to have a configuration file for a file called 'movie.avi', create a file +named 'movie.avi.conf' with the file-specific options in it and put it in +~/.mplayer/. +You can also put the configuration file in the same directory as the file to +be played, as long as you give the \-use\-filedir\-conf option (either on the +command line or in your global config file). +If a file-specific configuration file is found in the same directory, no +file-specific configuration is loaded from ~/.mplayer. +In addition, the \-use\-filedir\-conf option enables directory-specific +configuration files. +For this, MPlayer first tries to load a mplayer.conf from the same directory as +the file played and then tries to load any file-specific configuration. +.PP +.I EXAMPLE MPLAYER CONFIGURATION

"PLAYER OPTIONS" +. +.TP +.B \-autoq <quality> (use with \-vf [s]pp) +Dynamically changes the level of postprocessing depending on the available spare +CPU time. +The number you specify will be the maximum level used. +Usually you can use some big number. +You have to use \-vf [s]pp without parameters in order for this to work. +. +.TP +.B \-autosync <factor> +Gradually adjusts the A/V sync based on audio delay measurements. +Specifying \-autosync 0, the default, will cause frame timing to be based +entirely on audio delay measurements. +Specifying \-autosync 1 will do the same, but will subtly change the A/V +correction algorithm. +An uneven video framerate in a movie which plays fine with \-nosound can +often be helped by setting this to an integer value greater than 1. +The higher the value, the closer the timing will be to \-nosound. +Try \-autosync 30 to smooth out problems with sound drivers which do +not implement a perfect audio delay measurement. +With this value, if large A/V sync offsets occur, they will only take about +1 or 2 seconds to settle out. +This delay in reaction time to sudden A/V offsets should be the only +side-effect of turning this option on, for all sound drivers. +. +.TP +.B \-benchmark +Prints some statistics on CPU usage and dropped frames at the end of playback. +Use in combination with \-nosound and \-vo null for benchmarking only the +video codec. +.br +.I NOTE: +With this option MPlayer will also ignore frame duration when playing +only video (you can think of that as infinite fps). +. +.TP +.B \-chapter\-merge\-threshold <number> +Threshold for merging almost consecutive ordered chapter parts +in milliseconds (default: 100). +Some Matroska files with ordered chapters have inaccurate chapter +end timestamps, causing a small gap between the end of one chapter and +the start of the next one when they should match. +If the end of one playback part is less than the given threshold away +from the start of the next one then keep playing video normally over the +chapter change instead of doing a seek. +. +.TP +.B \-colorkey <number> +Changes the colorkey to an RGB value of your choice. +0x000000 is black and 0xffffff is white. +Only supported by the fbdev, svga, vesa, xmga, +xover, xv (see \-vo xv:ck) and directx video output drivers. +. +.TP +.B \-nocolorkey +Disables colorkeying. +Only supported by the fbdev,

calculated differently and video filters which add new frames or +modify timestamps of existing ones are supported. +Now enabled automatically for most common file formats. +The more accurate timestamps can be visible for example when playing +subtitles timed to scene changes with the \-ass option. +Without \-correct\-pts the subtitle timing will typically be off by some frames. +This option does not work correctly with some demuxers and codecs. +. +.TP +.B \-crash\-debug (DEBUG CODE) +Automatically attaches gdb upon crash or SIGTRAP. +Support must be compiled in by configuring with \-\-enable\-crash\-debug. +. +.TP +.B \-doubleclick\-time +Time in milliseconds to recognize two consecutive button presses as +a double-click (default: 300). +Set to 0 to let your windowing system decide what a double-click is +(\-vo directx only). +. +.TP +.B \-edlout <filename> +Creates a new file and writes edit decision list (EDL) records to it. +During playback, the user hits 'i' to mark the start or end of a skip block. +This provides a starting point from which the user can fine-tune EDL entries +later. +See http://www.mplayerhq.hu/\:DOCS/\:HTML/\:en/\:edl.html for details. +. +.TP +.B \-fixed\-vo, \-nofixed\-vo +\-fixed\-vo enforces a fixed video system for multiple files (one +(un)initialization for all files). +Therefore only one window will be opened for all files. +Now enabled by default, use \-nofixed\-vo to disable and create a new window +whenever the video stream changes. +Some of the older drivers may not be fixed-vo compliant. +. +.TP +.B \-framedrop (also see \-hardframedrop, experimental without \-nocorrect\-pts) +Skip displaying some frames to maintain A/V sync on slow systems. +Video filters are not applied to such frames. +For B-frames even decoding is skipped completely. +. +.TP +.B \-h, \-help, \-\-help +Show short summary of options. +. +.TP +.B \-hardframedrop (experimental without \-nocorrect\-pts) +More intense frame dropping (breaks decoding). +Leads to image distortion! +Note that especially the libmpeg2 decoder may crash with this, +so consider using "\-vc ffmpeg12,". +. +.TP +.B \-heartbeat\-cmd +Command that is executed every 30 seconds during playback via system() - +i.e.\& using the shell. +.sp 1 +.I NOTE: +MPlayer uses this command without any checking, it is your responsibility +to ensure it does not cause security problems (e.g.\& make sure to use full +paths if "." is in your path like on Windows). +It also only works when playing video (i.e.\& not with \-novideo but works with \-vo null). +.sp 1 +This can be "misused" to disable screensavers that do not support the proper +X API (also see \-stop\-xscreensaver). +If you think this is too complicated, ask the author of the screensaver +program to support the proper X APIs. +.sp 1 +.I EXAMPLE for xscreensaver: +mplayer \-heartbeat\-cmd "xscreensaver\-command \-deactivate" file +.sp 1 +.I EXAMPLE for GNOME screensaver: +mplayer \-heartbeat\-cmd

from the previous keyframe up to the target +position and so can take some time depending on decoding performance. +For some video formats precise seeks are disabled. This option selects the +default choice to use for seeks; it's possible to explicitly override that +default in the definition of key bindings and in slave mode commands. +.PD 0 +.RSs +.IPs off +Never use precise seeks. +.IPs absolute +Use precise seeks if the seek is to an absolute position in the file, +such as a chapter seek, but not for relative seeks like the default +behavior of arrow keys (default). +.IPs always +Use precise seeks whenever possible. +.RE +.PD 1 +. +.TP +.B \-identify +Shorthand for \-msglevel identify=4. +Show file parameters in an easily parseable format. +Also prints more detailed information about subtitle and audio +track languages and IDs. +In some cases you can get more information by using \-msglevel identify=6. +For example, for a DVD or Blu\-ray it will list the chapters and time length +of each title, as well as a disk ID. +Combine this with \-frames 0 to suppress all video output. +The wrapper script TOOLS/\:midentify.sh suppresses the other MPlayer output and +(hopefully) shellescapes the filenames. +. +.TP +.B \-idle (also see \-slave) +Makes MPlayer wait idly instead of quitting when there is no file to play. +Mostly useful in slave

later on via the loadfile or +loadlist slave commands. +. +.TP +.B \-noinitial-audio-sync +When starting a video file or after events such as seeking MPlayer will by +default modify the audio stream to make it start from the same timestamp as +video, by either inserting silence at the start or cutting away the first +samples. +This option disables that functionality and makes the player behave like +older MPlayer versions did: video and audio are both started immediately +even if their start timestamps differ, and then video timing is gradually +adjusted if necessary to reach correct synchronization later. +. +.TP +.B \-nojoystick +Turns off joystick support. +. +.TP +.B \-nolirc +Turns off LIRC support. +. +.TP +.B \-nomouseinput +Disable mouse button press/\:release input (mozplayerxp's context menu relies +on this option). +.TP +.B \-noordered\-chapters +Disable support for Matroska ordered chapters. +MPlayer will not load or search for video segments from other files, +and will also ignore any chapter order specified for the main file. +. +.TP +.B \-pts\-association\-mode auto|decode|sort +Select the method used to determine which container packet timestamp

(RTC only) +Turns on usage of the Linux RTC (realtime clock \- /dev/\:rtc) as timing +mechanism. +This wakes up the process every 1/1024 seconds to check the current time. +Useless with modern Linux kernels configured for desktop use as they already +wake up the process with similar accuracy when using normal timed sleep. +. +.TP +.B \-playing\-msg <string> +Print out a string before starting

format). +.br +.I WARNING: +The way MPlayer parses and uses playlist files is not safe against +maliciously constructed files. +Such files may trigger harmful actions. +This has been the case for all MPlayer versions, but unfortunately this +fact was not well documented earlier, and some people have even misguidedly +recommended use of -playlist with untrusted sources. +Do NOT use -playlist with random internet sources or files you don't trust! +.br +.I NOTE: +This option is considered an entry so options found after it will apply +only to the elements of this playlist. +.br +FIXME: This

(also see \-input) +Switches on slave mode, in which MPlayer works as a backend for other programs. +Instead of intercepting keyboard events, MPlayer will read commands separated +by a newline (\\n) from stdin. +.br +.I NOTE: +See \-input cmdlist for a list of slave commands and DOCS/tech/slave.txt +for their description. +Also, this is not intended to disable other inputs, e.g.\& via the video window, +use some other method like \-input nodefault\-bindings:conf=/dev/null for that. +. +.TP +.B \-softsleep +Time frames by repeatedly checking the current time instead of asking the +kernel to
