MPlayer

MPlayer is a popular movie player for GNU/Linux. It has support for most video and audio formats and is thus highly versatile, even if it is mostly used for viewing videos.

Contents

Installation

Install the mplayer package, or mplayer-svn AUR for the development version.

Notable variants are:

Frontends/GUIs

Configuration

System-wide configuration files are located in the /etc/mplayer/ , whereas the user-local settings are stored in

/.mplayer/ directory. The default files in the /etc/mplayer/ are:

• codecs.conf — Contains configuration of codecs.
• example.conf — Is an example of mplayer.conf, which is not automatically created after installation.
• input.conf — Contains configuration of a hotkeys.

A file config is created in the

/.mplayer/ directory by default.

Key bindings

System key bindings are configured via /etc/mplayer/input.conf . Personal key bindings are stored in

/.mplayer/input.conf . For a complete list of keyboard shortcuts look at mplayer(1) .

Tips and tricks

Hardware video acceleration

Enabling VDPAU

Append the following to either the system-wide ( /etc/mplayer/mplayer.conf ) or user-specific (

/.mplayer/config ) configuration files:

Enabling VA-API

This requires mplayer-vaapi AUR from the AUR.

• -vo — Select vaapi video output driver
• -va — Select vaapi video decoder driver

MPlayer based players:

• gnome-mplayer : To enable hardware acceleration: Edit > Preferences > Player, then set Video Output to vaapi .
• smplayer : To enable hardware acceleration: Options > Preferences > General > Video, then set Output driver to vaapi .

Translucent video with Radeon cards and Composite enabled

To get translucent video output in X you have to enable textured video in MPlayer:

Or add the following line to

You can use xvinfo to check which video modes your graphic card supports.

Watching streamed video

If you want to play a video stream (e.g an ASX link) use:

The -playlist option is necessary because these streams are actually playlists and cannot be played without it.

DVD playing

To play a DVD with MPlayer:

where N is the desired title number. Start at 1 and work up if unsure. To start at a specific chapter use the ‘-chapter’ flag. For example, adding ‘-chapter 5’ to the command starts the dvd playing at chapter five of the title.

Mplayer checks /dev/dvd by default. Tell it to use /dev/sr0 with the dvd-device option at the command line, or the dvd-device variable in

To play a DVD image file:

To enable the DVD menu use:

To enable mouse support in DVD menus use:

To find the audio language, start MPlayer with the -v switch to output audio IDs. An audio track is selected with -aid audio_id . Set a default audio language by editing

/.mplayer/config and adding the line alang=en for English.

With MPlayer, the DVD could be set to a low volume. To increase the maximum volume to 400%, use softvol=yes and softvol-max=400 . The startup volume defaults to 100% of software volume and the global mixer levels will remain untouched. Using the 9 and 0 keys, volume can be adjusted between 0 and 400 percent.

DVB-T Streaming

See DVB-T for more info.

JACK support

To have MPlayer audio output directed to JACK as its default behavior, edit

/.mplayer/config and add:

If you do not have JACK running all the time, you can have MPlayer output to JACK on an as-needed basis by invoking MPlayer from the command line as such:

Advanced Subtitles

In order to get Advanced SubStation Alpha (ass) or SubStation Alpha (ssa) formatted subtitles to display properly you need to either edit

/.mplayer/config and add:

or add -ass to the command line:

One possible indication of needing to enable this flag is if you get numbers appearing with your subtitles. This is caused by the positioning information being interpreted as something to be displayed. Mplayer will also complain about subtitles being either too long or having too many lines.

Enabling ass also enables any embedded fonts. As per the note in the mplayer’s man adding embeddedfonts=true is unneeded if fontconfig is version 2.4.2 or newer. Fontconfig will also be used to select which font to use when there are no embedded fonts. This may result in a different font being used than the OSD subtitle renderer.

Internet radio

Here is an example of a script for an easy start/stop of playing a predefined radio station. [1]

Additional binary codecs

If you need to play media encoded with the cook, drvc or sipr codecs, you can install the «essentials» binary codec pack with the codecs64 AUR package. See http://www.mplayerhq.hu/design7/dload.html for more information.

Troubleshooting

MPlayer fails to open files with spaces

MPlayer can fail to open a file with spaces (e.g. ‘The Movie’) by saying that it could not open the file file:///The%20Movie (where all spaces are converted to %20 ). This can be fixed by editing /usr/share/applications/mplayer.desktop to changing the following line from:

If you use a frontend/GUI for MPlayer, enter its name in Exec=gui_name «%F» .

MPlayer has black or strange colored font for OSD and Subtitles

There appears to be an issue with OSD and Subtitle colors when using vdpau output, which mplayer may be using by default. You can get around this issue by using xv instead of vdpau:

As a command line option:

Adding the following line to your

See the original forums thread for details.

SMPlayer: No video issue

SMPlayer may have trouble opening some MP4 (and probably FLV ) videos. If it plays only audio without any video, a possible fix is to add the following lines to your

If problem persists after doing so, it is because SMPlayer is keeping settings for that specific file. Deleting the settings for all the files that SMPlayer is keeping will solve this problem:

SMPlayer: fail to resume playback after pause

SMPlayer might stop playing a video after pausing it if your audio output driver is incorrectly set. You can fix this by specifically setting your audio driver. For example, if you use PulseAudio, this can be done by starting MPlayer with the -ao pulse argument or by adding the following to your

You can also change this from SMPlayer by going to Options > Preferences > General > Audio and setting the Output Driver option to pulse.

SMPlayer: no video when using transparency in GNOME

This problem may arise under GNOME when using Compiz to provide transparency: SMPlayer starts with a transparent screen with audio playing, but no video. To fix this, create (as root) a file with the contents:

Then do the following:

SMPlayer: OSD font too big / subtitle text too small

Since SMPlayer 0.8.2.1 (with MPlayer2 20121128-1), the ratio of the subtitle font to the OSD font is very strange. This can result in the OSD text filling the whole screen while the subtitles are very small and unreadable. This problem can be solved by adding:

or to the extra options passed to MPlayer from SMPlayer. These options are found in Options > Preferences > Advanced > Options for MPlayer. This can also be achieved by adding the following line to

Mplayer shows question marks for some characters on subtitle

If the codepage of the subtitles is utf8, try using:

You can find the codepage of the subtitles with:

Choppy audio CD playback

CDDA playback may be interrupted every few seconds as the CDROM spins down the CD. To get around this you need to cache or buffer in advance using the -cache option:

The :1 is to lower the CDROM speed for a constant spin and less noise.

Ubuntu Documentation

MPlayer is a powerful and versatile media player that can play all types of free media formats (see the FreeFormats page) as well as most ‘non-free’ media formats. A companion program called MEncoder can be used to encode or transform any audio or video stream that MPlayer can read.

Installing MPlayer

Streaming Video

MPlayer provides excellent streaming video support for Mozilla, Firefox, Epiphany and Konqueror. To enable support for streaming media install the package mozilla-mplayer.

Download

Here you can find everything needed to get MPlayer up and running. The recommended way to install MPlayer is to compile from current SVN source. Look at the unofficial packages section of our projects page if you do not wish to compile from source and/or are looking for packages that may be more tightly integrated with your platform. You might also want to check out the other frontends since there is no further development and limited bug fixing for the included graphical user interface.

Be advised that we do not support any unofficial packages, only the non-outdated official ones listed below. If you have trouble with unofficial packages, get support from the respective authors.

For a complete MPlayer installation you will need sources, a set of binary codecs, and a skin if you want a graphical user interface.

Quick compilation and installation instructions are contained in the README, the installation section of the documentation has more complete information.

Source Code

We provide nightly Subversion snapshots generated at six in the morning (GMT+1). They are generally stable and recommended. If you have issues with them report it, or use Subversion directly to get a more up-to-date or previous version, or wait for the next snapshot, it might be fixed by then.

The Subversion snapshots are working directories complete with Subversion metadata (the result of ‘svn checkout’). The source snapshots are bare sources without Subversion metadata (the result of ‘svn export’).

The latest MPlayer release is 1.4, created on 18/04/2019, which includes an FFmpeg snapshot.
We recommend to always use the latest SVN to get the all the new features and bugfixes, especially if the release date above looks old.

We keep the old releases and ancient releases of MPlayer, in case anybody is interested.

Downloading MPlayer from Subversion

You can also get MPlayer via Subversion. Issue the following command to get the latest sources:

A directory named mplayer will be created in the current directory. You can later update your sources by typing

from within that directory.

Our Subversion setup does not work over HTTP/HTTPS, nor will it in the future. If you have trouble accessing the Subversion repository, then in 99% of all cases a firewall on your side is the problem. Open TCP port 3690 or find a machine that can use the svn:// protocol directly. Another alternative is downloading a Subversion snapshot.

Binaries

Fedora and CentOS/RHEL RPM packages from RPMFusion	HTTP

We offer Debian packages of a compact and up-to-date MPlayer for some architectures with minimal dependencies and including the GUI variant.

Binary Codec Packages

First of all, a big warning: These packages are useless for normal Windows players and will only work with MPlayer.

Our binary codec packages add support for codecs that are not yet implemented natively, like newer RealVideo variants and a lot of uncommon formats. Note that they are not necessary to play most common formats like DVDs, MPEG-1/2/4, etc. See the codec status table for the daily-generated list of currently supported codecs.

Choose the package that matches your processor and operating system. If your system cannot manage Linux libraries, choose the Windows package instead. On Windows MPlayer will try to use the codecs installed on your system. Our packages can save you the hassle of installing every known codec and using untested codec versions.

Instructions for installing binary codecs can be found in the README or in the README.txt file that accompanies each codec package. If you want to verify the integrity of the codec packages, compare the MD5 sums. If you want to know what’s new in a codec package, check the ChangeLog.

Old package versions, md5sums of all codecs and unsupported/broken codecs useful for development are kept in the codecs directory.
