It plays most MPEG, AVI, MOV/QT 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!). Another big feature of mplayer is the wide range of supported output drivers : X11, Xv, DGA, OpenGL, SVGAlib, fbdev, AAlib, DirectFB, GGI, SDL (and all the drivers they support), VESA (on every VESA compatible card, even without X!), 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. Several subtitles types are supported (curently 9 !) and the fonts are rendered with nice big antialiased shaded fonts ! Of course there is support for european/ISO 8859-1,2 (hungarian, english, czech, etc), cyrillic, korean fonts. .LP .SH "GUI OPTIONS" .I NOTE: The GUI code has to be compiled in *explicitly*, for details see the documentation. .TP .B \-gui start MPlayer in GUI mode. .TP .B \-skin load skin from this directory (WITHOUT path name!). For example '-skin fittyfene' tries these : /usr/local/share/mplayer/Skin/fittyfene ~/.mplayer/Skin/fittyfene .LP .SH "DVD OPTIONS" .I NOTE: These options are valid only with DVD support compiled in. For details, see the documentation. .I NOTE: DVD playback sometimes requires deinterlacing: see '-pp 0x20000' or '-npp lb' options. .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 \-dvd-device\ override default DVD device name /dev/dvd .TP .B \-chapter\ specify which chapter to start playing at. Optionally specify which chapter to end playing at. Examples can be found below. .TP .B \-dvdangle\ 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 \-alang\ Used when playing DVD disks. Expects a two-letter country code(s) as parameter, and always tries to play back audio streams those language matches the given code. For example: -alang hu,en will always try to play hungarian or if it's non-existant then english audio streams if there are any. .TP .B \-slang\ See the -sid option, but this one needs a two-letter parameter, a country code. Like: -slang hu,en will always select hungarian or if it's non existant then english subtitles, if there are any. For the list of available subtitles, use with the -v switch and look at the output. .TP .B \-sid\ Turns on DVD subtitle displaying. Also, you MUST specify a number which corresponds to a DVD subtitle language (0-31). For the list of available subtitles, use with the -v switch and look at the output. .LP .SH "GENERAL OPTIONS" .TP .I NOTE Every "flag" option has "noflag" pair, e.g. -fs opposite is -nofs .TP .B \-vo\ [:] 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\ [:] 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 .TP .B \-vcd\ play video cd track from device instead of plain file .TP .B \-cdrom-device\ override default CDROM drive name /dev/cdrom .TP .B \-nosound don't play sound .TP .B \-audiofile\ play audio from an external file (MP3, AC3, Vorbis, etc) .TP .B \-fs fullscreen playing (centers movie, and makes black bands around it). Toggle it with the 'f' key (not all video outputs support it). .TP .B \-dr turns on direct rendering (not supported by all codecs and video outputs). Default is on. .TP .B \-vm try to change to a different video mode. dga2, x11 (XF86VidMode) and sdl 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\ scale image to x width (if driver suppports) .TP .B \-y\ scale image to y height (if driver supports) .TP .B \-sws\ this option sets the quality (and speed, respectively) of the software scaler, with the -zoom option. For example with x11 or other outputs which lack hardware acceleration. Possible settings are : 0 - fast bilinear (default) 1 - bilinear 2 - bicubic (best quality) 3 - ? 4 - nearest neighbor (bad quality) 5 - area averageing scaling support .TP .B \-xy\ scale image by .TP .B \-autoq\ dynamically changes the level of postprocess, depending on spare CPU time available. The number you specify will be the maximum level used. Usually you can use some big number. You may not use together with -pp but it's ok with -npp ! .TP .B \-ffactor\ resample alphamap of the font. Can be: 0 plain white fonts 0.75 very narrow black outline [default] 1 narrow black outline 10 bold black outline .TP .B \-sub\ use/display this subtitle file .TP .B \-subfps\ specify frame/sec rate of subtitle file (float number) (ONLY for frame-based SUB files, i.e. NOT MicroDVD format!) (default: the same fps as the movie) .TP .B \-subdelay\ delays subtitles by seconds. Can be negative. .TP .B \-vobsub\ specify the VobSub files that are to be used for subtitle. This is the full pathname without extensions, i.e. without the ".idx", ".ifo" or ".sub". .TP .B \-vobsubid\ specify the VobSub subtitle id. Valid values range from 0 to 31. .TP .B \-osdlevel\ specifies which mode the OSD should start in (0 : none, 1 : seek, 2: seek+timer) (default = 2) .TP .B \-lircconf\ specifies a configfile for LIRC (see http://www.lirc.org) if you don't like the default ~/.lircrc .TP .B \-v enable verbose output (more -v means more verbosity) .TP .B \-quiet display less output, status messages. .TP .B \-benchmark used in combination with -nosound and -vo null for benchmarking. .TP .B \-aspect set aspect ratio of movies. It's autodetected on MPEG files, and can't be autodetected on AVI files. Examples: -aspect 4:3 or -aspect 1.3333 -aspect 16:9 or -aspect 1.7777 .TP .B \-monitoraspect set aspect ratio of your screen. Examples: -monitoraspect 4:3 or 1.3333 -monitoraspect 16:9 or 1.7777 .TP .B \-playlist play files according to this filelist (1 file/row or Winamp or ASX format). .TP .B \-ss\ seek to given time position. For example : -ss 56 seeks to 56 seconds -ss 01:10:00 seeks to 1 hour 10 min .TP .B \-loop\ loops movie playback times. 0 means forever. .TP .B \-mixer\ this option will tell MPlayer to use a different device for mixing than /dev/mixer. .TP .B \-master obsoleted option, use Software audio mixer plugin instead (see DOCS). .TP .B \-tv\ this option enables the TV grabbing feature of MPlayer. For complete documentation, please see documentation.html chapter 2.5 .TP .B \-rootwin play movie in the root window (desktop background) instead of opening a new one. Works only with the xv and xmga drivers. .TP .B \-font\ search for the OSD/SUB fonts in an alternative directory (default : ~/.mplayer/font/font.desc). For example: -font ~/.mplayer/arial-14/font.desc .TP .B \-conf\ get input bindings from an alternative input.conf file (default : ~/.mplayer/input.conf). .IP .SH "ADVANCED OPTIONS" .TP .I NOTE These options can help you solve your particular problem.. Also, see the documentation ! .TP .B \-vc force usage of a specific video codec, according to its name in codecs.conf, for example : -vc divx use VFW DivX codec -vc divxds use DirectShow DivX codec -vc ffdivx use libavcodec's DivX codec -vc ffmpeg12 use libavcodec's MPEG1/2 codec -vc divx4 use ProjectMayo's DivX codec See '-vc help' for FULL list ! .TP .B \-ac force usage of a specific audio codec, according to its name in codecs.conf, for example : -ac mp3 use libmp3 MP3 codec -ac mp3acm use l3codeca.acm MP3 codec -ac ac3 use AC3 codec -ac hwac3 enable Hardware AC3 passthrough (see documentation) -ac vorbis use libvorbis -ac ffmp3 use ffmpeg's MP3 decoder (SLOW) See '-ac help' for FULL list ! .TP .B \-vfm <1-12> force usage of a specific codec FAMILY, and FALLBACK to default if failed. For example: -vfm 2 use VFW (Win32) codecs -vfm 3 use OpenDivX/DivX4 codec (YV12) (same as -vc odivx but fallback) -vfm 4 use DirectShow (Win32) codecs -vfm 5 use libavcodec codecs -vfm 7 use DivX4 codec (YUY2) (same as -vc divx4 but fallback) -vfm 10 use XAnim codecs See -vc help for FULL list ! .I NOTE: if libdivxdecore support was compiled in, then type 3 and 7 now contains just the same DivX4 codec, but different APIs to reach it. For difference between them and when to use which, check the DivX4 section in the documentation. .TP .B \-afm <1-12> force usage of a specific audio format. For example: -afm 1 use libmp3 (mp2/mp3, but not mp1) -afm 2 suppose raw PCM audio -afm 3 use libac3 -afm 4 use a matching Win32 codec -afm 5 use aLaw/uLaw driver -afm 10 use libvorbis -afm 11 use ffmpeg's MP3 decoder (even mp1) See -ac help for FULL list ! .TP .B \-sb\ seek to byte position .TP .B \-bpp\ use different color depth than autodetect. Not all -vo drivers support it (fbdev, dga2, svga, vesa). .TP .B \-pp\ (see -npp option too !) apply postprocess filter on decoded image Postprocessing effect depends on the codec and works only for MPEG1/2, libavcodec codecs (ff*). It doesn't work for Win32/XAnim codecs. This is the numerical mode to use postprocessing. The '-npp' option described below has the same effects but with letters. To have several filters at the same time, simply add the hexadecimal values. .I EXAMPLE: The following values are known to give good results: \-pp 0x20000 <=> \-npp lb (deinterlacing - for DVD/MPEG2 playback e.g.) \-pp 0x7f <=> \-npp hb,vb,dr,al (smooth the images) .TP .B \-npp\ This option allows to give more litterate options for postprocessing, and is another way of calling it (not with -pp). .I EXAMPLE: '-pp 0x2007f' <=> '-npp hb,vb,dr,al,lb' '-pp 0x7f' <=> '-npp hb,vb,dr,al' The options for -npp are a coma separated list of the keywords below: help : display the options available and exit MPlayer de or default : hdeblock:a,vdeblock:a, dering:a,autolevels,tmpnoise:a:150:200:400 fa or fast : x1hdeblock:a,x1vdeblock:a, dering:a,autolevels,tmpnoise:a:150:200:400 hb or hdeblock : horizontal deblocking filter (luminance: 0x2 chrominance: 0x20) + 1st threshold : default is 1, higher means stronger deblocking + 2nd threshold : default is 40, lower means stronger deblocking vb or vdeblock : vertical deblocking filter (luminance: 0x1 chrominance: 0x10) + 2 thresholds : shared with hdeblock thresholds hr or rkhdeblock : Ramkishor & Karandikar's horizontal deblock filter (0x1000) vr or rkvdeblock : R&K's vertical deblock filter (0x100) h1 or x1hdeblock : x1 horizontal deblock filter (0x2000) v1 or x1vdeblock : y1 horizontal deblock filter (0x200) dr or dering : dering (luminance: 0x4 chrominance: 0x40) al or autolevels : auto brightness/contrast correction (0x8) lb or linblenddeint : linear blend deinterlacing (0x20000) li or linipoldeint : linear interpolation deinterlacing (0x10000) ci or cubicipoldeint : cubic interpolation deinterlacing (0x40000) md or mediandeint : median deinterlacing (0x80000) tn or tmpnoise : temporal noise reducer (0x100000) + 3 thresholds : t1 <= t2 <= t3 (larger means stronger filtering) fq or forcequant : force quantizer [for low-quality movies reencoded at high bitrates] (0x200000) These keywords accept a '-' prefix to disable the option. .I EXAMPLE: '-npp de,-al' means 'default filters without brightness/contrast correction' A ':' followed by a letter may be appended to the option to indicate its scope: a : automatically switches the filter off if the cpu is too slow c : do chrominance filtering too y : do not do chrominance filtering (that is only luminance filtering) Each filter defaults to 'c' (chrominance). .I EXAMPLE: '-npp de,tn:1:2:3' means 'enable default filters & temporal denoiser' '-npp hb:y,vb:a -autoq 6' means 'deblock horizontal only luminance, and automatically switch vertical deblocking on/off depending on available cpu time' .TP .B \-slave This option switches on slave mode. This is intended for use of MPlayer as a backend to other programs. Instead of intercepting keyboard events, MPlayer will read simplistic command lines from its stdin. See section .B SLAVE MODE PROTOCOL for the syntax. .TP .B \-abs\ sound card audio buffer size (in bytes, default: measuring) .TP .B \-delay\ audio delay in seconds (may be +/- float value) .TP .B \-nobps don't use avg. byte/sec value for A-V sync (AVI) .TP .B \-aid\ select audio channel [MPG: 0-31 AVI: 1-99 ASF: 0-127 VOB: 128-...] .TP .B \-vid\ select video channel [MPG: 0-15 AVI: -- ] .TP .B \-fps\ force frame rate (if value is wrong in the header) (float number) .TP .B \-mc\ maximum sync correction per 5 frames (in seconds) .TP .B \-ni force usage of non-interleaved AVI parser (fixes playing of some bad AVI files) .TP .B \-include configfile specify config file to be parsed after the default .TP .B \-z\ <0-9> specifies compression level for PNG output 0 : no compression 9 : max compression .TP .B \-idx rebuilds INDEX of the AVI, thus allowing seeking. Useful with broken/incomplete downloads, or badly created AVIs. .TP .B \-noidx disregards INDEX of the AVI. Useful for files with broken index (desyncs, etc). Seeking will NOT be possible. You can fix the index permanently with MEncoder, see the documentation. .TP .B \-forceidx force rebuilding of INDEX. Useful for files with broken index (desyncs, etc). Seeking will be possible. You can fix the index permanently with MEncoder, see the documentation. .TP .B \-nodshow disables usage of DirectShow video codecs .TP .B \-noxv (SDL only) disable XVideo hardware acceleration .TP .B \-forcexv (SDL only) force using XVideo .TP .B \-dumpaudio writes audio stream of the file to ./stream.dump (mostly usable with mpeg/ac3) .TP .B \-dumpstream dumps the file to ./stream.dump . Useful for example when ripping from DVD. .TP .B \-noframedrop no frame dropping : every frame is played, audio and video may be out of sync (default) .TP .B \-framedrop frame dropping : decode all frames, video may skip .TP .B \-nodouble disables doublebuffering. With the DGA driver this also disables OSD support but yields some speed gain. .TP .B \-dvdkey key key to decrypt stream encrypted with CSS. For example : -dvdkey F169072699 (this is NOT for DVD playing! For DVD use the -dvd option!) .TP .B \-stereo mode select type of MP2/MP3 stereo output. Stereo 0 Left channel 1 Right channel 2 .TP .B \-channels n select number of audio output channels to be used Stereo 2 Surround 4 Full 5.1 6 Currently this option is only honoured for AC3 audio. .TP .B \-srate specifies Hz to playback audio on. Has effect on playback speed! .TP .B \-config specifies where to search for config file .TP .B \-display specify the hostname and display number of the X server you want to display on. For example : -display xtest.localdomain:0 .TP .B \-xineramascreen in Xinerama configurations (i.e. a single desktop that spans across multiple displays) this option tells MPlayer which screen to display movie on. Range 0 - ... .TP .B \-wid\ This tells MPlayer to use a X11 window, which is useful to embed MPlayer in a browser (with the plugger extension for instance) .TP .B \-unicode tells MPlayer to handle the subtitle file as UNICODE. Contrary: -nounicode .TP .B \-utf8 tells MPlayer to handle the subtitle file as UTF8. .TP .B \-fsmode\ mode This option workarounds some problems when using specific windowmanagers and fullscreen mode. If you experience fullscreen problems, try changing this value between 0 and 7. -fsmode 0 new method -fsmode 1 ICCCWM patch (for KDE2/icewm) -fsmode 2 old method -fsmode 3 ICCCWM patch plus Motif method .TP .B \-frames\ number MPlayer plays frames, then quits. .TP .B \-fb\ (FBdev or DirectFB only) Specifies the framebuffer device to use. By default it uses /dev/fb0 . .TP .B \-fbmode\ (FBdev only) Change videomode to the one that is labelled as in /etc/fb.modes . .TP .I NOTE VESA framebuffer doesn't support mode changing. .TP .B \-fbmodeconfig\ (FBdev only) Use this config file instead of the default /etc/fb.modes . Only valid for the fbdev driver. .TP .B \-monitor_hfreq (FBdev only) .TP .B \-monitor_vfreq (FBdev only) .TP .B \-monitor_dotclock (FBdev only) Look into etc/example.conf for further information and in DOCS/video.html. .TP .B \-subcp\ codepage If your system supports iconv(3), you can use this option to specify codepage of the subtitle. Examples: -subcp latin2 -subcp cp1250 .TP .B \-dumpmpsub Convert the given subtitle (specified with the -sub switch) to MPlayer's subtitle format, MPsub. Dumps a dump.mpsub file to current directory. .TP .B \-screenw\ If you use an output driver which can't know the resolution of the screen (fbdev/x11 and/or TVout) this is where you can specify the horizontal resolution. .TP .B \-screenh\ If you use an output driver which can't know the resolution of the screen (fbdev/x11 and/or TVout) this is where you can specify the vertical resolution. .TP .B \-cache\ This option specifies how much memory to use when precaching a file/URL. Especially useful on slow media. Default is off. .TP .B \-softsleep uses high quality software timers. Efficient as the RTC, doesn't need root, but requires more CPU. .TP .B \-input this option can be used to configure certain parts of the input system. conf= read alternative input.conf. If given without pathname, $HOME/.mplayer is assumed. ar-delay delay in msec before we start to autorepeat a key (0 to disable) ar-rate how many keypress/second when we autorepeat keylist prints all keys that can be bound to cmdlist prints all commands that can be bound .TP .I NOTE Autorepeat is currently only supported by joysticks. .TP .B \-nojoystick turns off joystick support. Default is on, if compiled in. .TP .B \-nolirc turns off lirc support. .TP .B \-demuxer force demuxer type. Give the demuxer ID as defined in demuxers.h . .TP .B \-audio-demuxer force audio demuxer type for -audiofile. Give the demuxer ID as defined in demuxers.h . .TP .B \-hr-mp3-seek hi-res mp3 seeking. Default is: enable for MP3 playing. It seek exactly where it should but can be slow especially when seeking backwards - it has to rewind to the beginning to find the exact frame. .IP .SH "ALPHA/BETA CODE" .TP .I NOTE These are included in this manpage just for completeness! These may or may NOT work! If you don't know what are these, you DON'T need these! In either case, double-check the documentation ! .TP .B \-dumpvideo dump video stream to ./stream.dump (only with MPEG-PS) (not very usable) .TP .B \-dapsync use alternative A/V sync method. Where is it useful? .TP .B \-subfile currently unuseful. Same as -audiofile, but for subtitle streams. (OggDS?) .TP .B \-sub-demuxer force subtitle demuxer type for -subfile. .IP .SH KEYBOARD CONTROL .TP .I NOTE These keys may/may not work, depending on your video output driver. .TP <- or -> seek backward/forward 10 seconds up or down seek backward/forward 1 minute pgup/pgdown seek backward/forward 10 minutes p or SPACE pause movie (press any key) q or ESC stop playing and quit program + or - adjust audio delay by +/- 0.1 second / or * decrease/increase volume f toggle fullscreen o toggle OSD: none / seek / seek+timer m toggle using master/pcm volume z or x adjust subtitle delay by +/- 0.1 second (the following keys are valid only when using -vo xv OR -vo [vesa|fbdev]:vidix OR -vo xvidix OR -vc divxds. The latter is slow!) 1 or 2 adjust contrast 3 or 4 adjust brightness 5 or 6 adjust hue 7 or 8 adjust saturation .IP .SH SLAVE MODE PROTOCOL If the -slave switch is given, playback is controlled by a line-based protocol with the following tokens: .TP stop pause playback play resume playback seek continue at second NUM skip skip NUM seconds (may be negative) quit exit MPlayer .IP .SH FILES AND DIRECTORIES .TP .I CONFIG FILES Settings are stored system-wide in the /etc/mplayer.conf file, and per-user in $HOME/.mplayer/config. The directory $HOME/.mplayer and the 'config' are created if doesn't exist. .TP .I FONTS Fonts are searched in $HOME/.mplayer/font. There must be a font.desc file, and files with .RAW extension. .TP .I SUBTITLE FILES MPlayer currently supports 10 subtitle formats : MicroDVD, SubRip, unnamed, SAMI (smi), vplayer, RealMedia RT, ssa (Sub Station Alpha), AQT, VobSub, and our own: MPsub. Sub files are searched in this priority : (for example /mnt/cdrom/movie.avi) /mnt/cdrom/movie.sub (utf/UTF/sub/SUB/srt/SRT/smi/SMI/rt/RT/txt/TXT/ssa/SSA) $HOME/.mplayer/sub/movie.sub (utf/UTF/sub/SUB/srt/SRT/smi/SMI/rt/RT/txt/TXT/ssa/SSA) $HOME/.mplayer/default.sub .IP .SH "EXAMPLES" .B Quickstart DVD playing mplayer -dvd 1 .TP .B Play only chapters 5, 6, 7 mplayer -dvd 1 -chapter 5-7 .TP .B Multiangle DVD playing mplayer -dvd 1 -dvdangle 2 .TP .B Playing from a different DVD device mplayer -dvd 1 -dvd-device /dev/dvd2 .TP .B Stream from HTTP mplayer http://mplayer.hq/example.avi .TP .B Convert subtitle to MPsub (to ./dump.mpsub) mplayer dummy.avi -sub source.sub -dumpmpsub .LP .SH BUGS Probably.
