Downloading it! :D

Thanks for sharing it. :)

ReUpload it at different location

I will do so when I have some time!
Maybe someone else can do it and post link here...

Thanks.

Hi LoRd_MuldeR, Can you please tell me that how can I set output channels for 4.1 sound system in MPlayer? & also RGB32 conversion[like ffdshow's]?

Thanks.

Well, I think the MPlayer mailing list is the correct place to ask that question...

[LoRd_MuldeR]

Added some new mirrors :)

[Avish]

Well, I think the MPlayer mailing list is the correct place to ask that question...So what are u saying exactly? You don't know the answer or I posted my query in wrong place ;)

[LoRd_MuldeR]

So what are u saying exactly? You don't know the answer or I posted my query in wrong place ;)

I don't know the answer, because it's something I never needed. So if it's not said in the manual, you should ask the mplayer devs...

[celtic_druid]

Well for 4.1, I guess you would just add channels=4 to your conf file.

[LoRd_MuldeR]

*UPDATE*

- Updated MPUI to version 1.2-pre1 (Unicode version)
- Updated MPlayer/MEncoder builds
- Minor Installer changes

[LoRd_MuldeR]

Any requests to update to MPUI 1.2-pre2 ???

[emmel]

Whats the difference wrt pre1?

Anyways, well done, thank you so much for sharing.

If you see "Intenral Server Error" just try again ;)

[xyloy]

I's an excellent player! I'm adding it to two stickies on another forum. Thank you very much! It's a very great piece of software! And available in several languages also(including mine), what else could anyone ask for! :D

And hopefully I think it will manage to make disappear all the video playback problems on my sisters' old PC! :) :)

/me is converted to mplayer and MPUI. :)

[LoRd_MuldeR]

*Update*


MPUI updated to v1.2-pre2
MPlayer/MEncoder updated to 2006-06-25
Installer fixes

[Kostarum Rex Persia]

What about XP 64-bit build of MPUI and MPlayer/MEncoder?

[celtic_druid]

If you want 64bit mplayer, then install Linux.

[Sharktooth]

... and forget win32 codecs ...

[celtic_druid]

Well yeah. Same would I guess be true of an x64 port. x64 seems to be somewhat lacking in terms of 64-bit multimedia playback. There are a couple of .NET based samples/players, graphedit, ffdshow, XviD, some MPC filters, that is about it.

[LoRd_MuldeR]

*UPDATE*

MPlayer/MEncoder 2006-07-02

[Razorholt]

Thanks LoRd_MuldeR for keeping us posted ;)

btw, I'm having some issues with encoded files (Xvid codec, MK container, encoded and muxed using MeGUI)

I tried and used VirtualDub, same issue. Not the same error message, but mplayer says it can't play the file. No Video track found.

The files work fine with other players though :S

Any idea?

Thanks!

Maybe your file is broken in some way or it's a bug in MPlayer.

[LoRd_MuldeR]

You should report that to the author of MPUI.

[emmel]

Oh, sorry, I was a bit confused, I thought you were the "responsible" in this case... :) Anyways, done.

Seems to work ok here. Straight x264 encode. No audio or anything though.

Could You make also a non SSE just MMX version. Please.

[LoRd_MuldeR]

Could You make also a non SSE just MMX version. Please.

You can take the build from that download. Just replace MPlayer.exe

[markrb]

I have read everything I can find, including the html that came with it, but I am stumped on 2 things?

1. I found it.

2. How do I make the player default into fullscreen mode?

Thanks,
Mark

[LoRd_MuldeR]

I guess you talk about MPUI.
Just go to the options window, select language and save!

[markrb]

Yep saw that after I posted. I was just using the seperate language drilldown that is not on the options screen.

Thanks,
Mark

[Razorholt]

@ LoRd_MuldeR: I will email the folks there, thanks.

@ celtic_druid: Encoded with x264 works fine. Please try encoding the same file (with or without audio) with Xvid. MeGUI is fine. Thanks.

You have to select and *save* the language in the options window if you want to keep it. If this doesn't work, make sure mpui.ini isn't write-protected.

[killerhex]

ok it worked

[LoRd_MuldeR]

*Update*


MPlayer/MEnocder updated to 2006-07-17
Fixed a bug in my MPUI build (KernelDeinterlacer was broken)

[grss1982]

Hi LoRd_MuldeR,

This might sound stupid, but is this player pack backwards compatible with Windows 98 SE?

[LoRd_MuldeR]

Hi LoRd_MuldeR,

This might sound stupid, but is this player pack backwards compatible with Windows 98 SE?

I don't know, because I've never tested that.
MPUI is a simple Delphi app, so this should not be the problem.
But I'm not sure if those MPlayer builds are suitable for Win9x.

If you want to know, get Vitual PC, run a Win98 machine and test it...

[Razorholt]

Last time I checked it didn't work.

I know I had to download 2 additional files from M$ to make VLC work on 98.; maybe MPUI needed those files too (sorry, forgot the names).

I will try and install MPUI again...

[Razorholt]

Ok.

The files I was refering to can be found at: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=73BA7BD7-ED06-4F0D-80A4-2A7EEAEE17E2&displaylang=en

I tried to install MPUI on my poor 98 machine but since it is a P2 it didn't work :(

Sorry.

[LoRd_MuldeR]

Sorry.

P3 build requires SSE, which P2 doesn't have.
Get a generic build of MPlayer and it should work.

Just replace the MPlayer.exe with the one form that (http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/mpui/MPUI-1.1.10_with_MPlayer-1.0-pre8.zip?download) ZIP file!

[Razorholt]

Thank you! I've done that and managed to play some files just fine.

One thing that didn't work was the progress bar. The Pause button doesn't seem to work either.

[LoRd_MuldeR]

Thank you! I've done that and managed to play some files just fine.

Well, MPlayer cannot seek in some files. So the Seeking-Bar won't work with such files.
The Pause button should work though...

Try a simple DivX-AVI file or something!

[Flexy]

excellent....i just discovered Mplayer yesterday (was using mpc & ffdshow before).....and then i thought that MPUI and celtic druid's builds are the best....and you provide all those in ONE package ! Nice !!!!

[celtic_druid]

Anyone tried my win32 gmplayer build?

[LoRd_MuldeR]

Anyone tried my win32 gmplayer build?

yeah. seems to work fine here, but I prefer MPUI as GUI for MPlayer...

[Flexy]

i will try whatever you have there....playing around with mplayer and various GUIs and builds....the problem is my GF has an old Toshiba lappy w/ PIII...and i have a hard time finding a player which does NOT cause problems.

I test the PIII builds on her laptop..and i see she has terrible problems with MPUI (and the CDruid optimized mplayer build)..i don't know why...but it is extremely choppy w/ XVid et. , bringing her comp down to the knees :)

But with the *same* mplayer executable/build i have GOOD
results with MPF (Mplayer frontend) on her comp...must be some setting issue.
"Good" means that picture quality and speed are awesome, but in SOME movies the audio was out of sync. (Some movies more than others). But then MPUI would just slow it down to almost an halt so i cant even use it.

[bolke]

There is a new Windows gui for mplayer. At first glance it seems to be pretty good.

http://www.dsource.org/projects/rulesplayer

[Razorholt]

RulesPlayer is quite fast, yes. I could play a 720p MOV file on my 800Mhz PC... Interesting.

However, they should fix their download link. ".exe" is missing.

[Razorholt]

How about ActiveX for MPlayer? Has anybody developed it yet?

Thanks,

@LoRd_MuldeR:

First of all, I've seen your wrapper lately (before I was aware of this thread) and was highly impressed with its simplicity, effectiveness, functionality and small footprint. Well done :)

When I saw this thread I went to the sourceforge project (and home) pages and could only find version 1.10 for download. Since it's the home page of MPUI, I think that you should either upload the latest versions to sourceforge or link from the homepage to the latest available download, or state that the homepage is no longer updated and there's another homepage.

Also, It would be great if the latest version is also always available as plain zip without mplayer in the package (on top of the standard full installer). This way savvy users can check the latest version with a very small download and without any installation.

Keep the the good work mate :)

You can download all versions of MPUI at it's SF homepage. Both, the binary and the sources, are in ZIP files.
So if you don't want to use my package, download MPUI form it's original homepage.

Just wanted to say thanks !
This player is awesome and lightweight!

Is it only me or is the latest version forgetting the setting every time it's closed, regardless of trying to save the options? specifically i'm interested in the interface language which doesn't default to english. didn't check if the rest of the options remain.

Go to the "options" window, set up everything and click the "save" button :D
If you select the language just from the menu, it won't be saved...

tried it before i posted and didn't work for me. i change to english. then options, save, and as soon as i click it, it changes back to the other language. the ini file that was created has the line "locale=auto". if i replace it manually from auto to en then it works fine. if i then try to change to different language, it revers to english (the ui itself) as soon as i click "save". the ini file stays with "locale=en" though. this wasn't a problem with 1.1 iirc.

@celtic_druid: thx, however I've no prior experience with Delphi, and honestly, don't want to start messing with different versions, patches, modules and translations. If LoRd_MuldeR knows of a free compiler setup that can compile it, I'd love to hear. No offence druid ;)

Well, I own Delphi 7 Professional version. That cost me 300€.
But I know there are "personal" editions of Delphi available for free.
Problem with PE is, that your are not allowed to make binaries public!

There is also Lazarus, but I don't know if it will compile MPUI.
Lazarus is missing some libraries that are in Delphi.
And you also need the Unicode Controls to compile MPUI, no idea if they work in Lazarus.

Have a look here:
http://www.borland.com/downloads/download_delphi.html
But I have no experience with "new" Delphi versions.
They are for .NET and stuff. Nothing I'm in at the moment.

Anyone tried my win32 gmplayer build?

Ya! Have been playing with it for the past few days. It's neat! But searching in an MP4 either ASP or AVC is a problem, but ASP or AVC in an Matroska is not. Another thing I noticed last night was not all the documented skin commands are supported, like evPlayVCD, evSetURL, evDropSubtitle, etc and I still haven't figured out away to play an audio CD. The player randomly crashes and haven't been able to pinpoint a sequence of events, but using the search forward button three times in a row the player will close. Often I find lipsync to be a problem (not the files), resetting sync to nearest 0 value resolves the issue, but checking sync in preferences does not.

Over all it's a nice refreshing change that can be dumped to a CD/DVD and auto set to play on open with a configured set up. Still haven't figured out how to get the GUI to auto open from a AUTORUN, but I'm reasonably sure it's me. The same commands on a Hard Drive auto opens everything, instead I just get a video window (no GUI) from CD/DVD. It does open and play.

Hope some of this is helpful feed back as it is nice to see work progress in this area for Windows.

BTW The above was noticed using a P4 2.8G and Radeon combination on Windows XP SP2. The system is stable and other media players including VLC are stable. For dshow players I tend toward purposed codecs rather than FFdshow or Codec packs.

Thanks for a neat player, hope to be seeing more of it as work progresses.

When you use the player for a while it will no longer do sync. It seems that the delay is stored in the config file and picked up again each time you stop and start a file. Makes no difference if the sync option is on or off. You must manually resync the file. This is real anoying.

[Thomas_AR]

@LoRd_MuldeR:
First great Job. Switched yesterday from MPC/FFDshow to Mplayer/MPUI.

Just one question. Is there a special reason that your Setup provides each single codec, and not a all in one solution (mplayer.exe has all codecs inside) like the package you can download on MPUI homepage?

MPlayer plays absolutely sync here with 99% of the files I tested.
Only files that don't play in sync here are some HD h.264 trailers, and that's because lavc's h.264 decoder is too slow for my CPU.
There is a "drop frames" option for better sync, but MPUI uses that automatically.
So if your files don't play in sync, I think this is either because your CPU is too slow for those files or those files are corrupted in some way.
I highly doubt MPlayer will do anything like saving the delay in the config files...

MPlayer has most codecs built-in. But there are still some proprietary formats for which there's no (working) OpenSource decoder available. So if there's no OpenSource decoder available for those formats, they cannot incude it in MPlayer.exe. All they can do is use the binaries (DLLs) provided by the manufacturer for decoding. Those files are located in the "codecs" directory and MPlayer loads them when needed. Of course MPlayer works 100% fine without those Codecs, but some files won't play then (like nasty WMV9 and stuff). The package from MPUI homepage does not include any additional Codecs, but I inlcuded the latest "full codec package" form MPlayerHQ.

More info is here:
http://www.mplayerhq.hu/DOCS/codecs-status.html

[Thomas_AR]

Thanks a lot for the Explanations. If i remember right (have the all include version running), your mplayer exe has only about 400 KB, so you include _no_ codec in it not even the basic ones, all in a separate folder.

Anyone tried my win32 gmplayer build?

If you want to get a kick, open the player and without loading anything, press the Next button.

I did figure out how to auto open the interface from a CD. Make a playlist and point to it.

I now have a few more skins that are modified and work correctly with this build.

I also keep forgetting to mention that the cursor does not disappear in full screen.

I was referring to Celtic Druid's build of GMPlayer (as he had asked for feedback) not MPUI. No problems encountered with MPUI Yet! :D

Also, I did quote machine specs, but just for the record I can do 720p without problems in h.264 and WMV3. I find MPEG TS or PS will do 1080p for some files. But the tests are over and find these formats usless on a computer unless you have a 65" monitor and the 5K or so to drop for it. My machine is stable and sync or jitter is confined to the program or codecs I'm using. Have been the ReClock route and found it to be quite useless on this machine.

[celtic_druid]

No. It's doing exactly what it supposed to. SSE/SSE2 are not supposed to be enabled. I patched certain builds such as the P4 build to enable them, so in actual fact they are the ones that are incorrectly detecting.

The P3 build is not patched, so no SSE.

The Installer is englisch only, but MPUI has full multi-language support: More than 20 languages supported in current version. Just go to options window and choose a language.

Hi,
First : thank you for your package : its the best way to play video files on windows.

The only thing I can't do is changing font size. I can do it in rulesplayer but this player is buggy with french accent so that I don't use it.

Sorry, don't think MPUI has such an option.
You'll have to pick the source-code load it into Delphi and change the font-size by hand.
Or you hack the resources - Delphi stores all Dialogs as Resources in the EXE files ;)

[dumbuser]

Hmm! I've changed fonts and size by downloading new fonts form the MPlayer web site. Then modifying the config to point to them. You will need to try one set at a time until you find the one you are happy with size wise. The selection is kinda thin as it covers the ISO standards character sets for languages.

In MPUI you will need to open options and under additional mplayer parameters type: -font <path> The font chosen will not effect DVDs or VOBSub type subtitles but it does effect OSD and most other supported subtitle formats.

So you were talking about MPlayer front (OSD, Subitiles, etc.) and not MPUI font. Then you can do it this way ;)
Changing MPUI font is a different thing...

Anyone tried my win32 gmplayer build?

I tried it out and it looks promissing. The GUI is simple and cool. But I don't get to turn ON the subtitle for a DVD in which I tested it with gmplayer. How do turn on the subtitle?

Another question with is how to configurate others parameters. In MPUI I set these parameters out (into interface):

-af volnorm -softvol -softvol-max 600 -volstep 10 -alang en,pt -slang en -sid 0 -subfont-autoscale 0 -subfont-text-scale 25

How to do this configuration into gmplayer?

Anyway, I liked it! :)

Regards,

[celtic_druid]

I would assume that gmplayer uses the conf file, same as mplayer. You can set all default options there.

How can I get subtitle support with this build of MPlayer?

Every file I play has the "Subtitle Track" option greyed out. I even tried having the subs and the video files named the same thing (that's how they auto-load in other players due to the VobSub package).

Bug Report:

MPUI Cant seek for the RMVB files while the same mplayer.exe can seek RMVB fast&well
But MPUI can seek for other files(mov/mp4/avi/wmv/....)

It seems that MPUI cant capture the seek Message(eg:drag the slide bar or click the corresponding menu item ) Which I send to it!

It is very strange for me!

I have a laptop that runs a Pentium 4M processor.

With that being said, do I choose P4 or PM as the CPU choice during the install?

Also, anyone know about my subtitle posting?

P4M is just a throttled/underclocked P4.

Is there a way to add MPUI to the pop-up window that comes up when a dvd is inserted in a WinXP machine and asks what you want to do?

[HarryM]

Mplayer is great for playing divx movies with subtitles (text formats). But I have problems with the microdvd style of subtitles (*.SUB)- a timing is strongly asynchronous (with media player classic is all ok).
SubRip style (*.SRT, time based) is ok.

Why? And what can I do for correcting this problem (except subs conversion)?

Thanks for your help.;)

Thanks for the great package. Love the MPlayer and the MPUI gui. However, I can't figure one thing out... how to make the mouse scroll button fast forward & rewind the video instead of adjusting the volume? I've seen this in other gui's (I think RulezPlayer). Can this also be done in MPUI?

Of course it could be done in MPUI, but in current version the hotkeys are not configurable, sorry. Editing the MPlayer config files won't help here, because MPUI processes all inputs and passes the commands to MPlayer.

How can I adjust the volume (what I mean is how can I go over the 100% volume to aomplify files that have really low sound) & how can I adjust the brightness using the keyboard controls when watching a video?

[chros]

I'm using mplayer recently (for troubleshooting, demuxing), and now I have found your GUI:
it's amazing !!! Thanks for it !

I have used the beta official gui, but it sucks. I love the WMP 6.4, MPC look and feel.

Small suggestions for the gui:
- it would be nice a keyboard shortcut to the Information panel (eg.: I )
- it would be nice a keyboard shortcut to the consol output panel (eg.: O )
- like in MPC, if we click on the window it would start/pause the playing
- like in MPC, the UP and Down arrows would set the volume
- in settings: a new option would come in handy, where we can select the channels of the sound output. eg.: 2.0 , 4.0 , 5.1, SPDIF , etc. (if it's easy to implement)

And not play-specific suggestion:
- It would be nice if the gui would have a Conversion Wizard like in VLC gui (or similar, which easier to implement), where major video, audio formats can be set ...

Packaging suggestion:
- a selectable option for mencoder ('cause if I select MPUI/Mplayer , it doesn't intall mencoder ...)

And again: Thanx for this great GUI !!!

The installer was compiled with NSIS, the MPlayer binaries are provided by Celtic Druid and the MPUI.exe is compiled by myself under Delphi7 Pro. There definitely is no "Trojan" included :mad:

There is no need for an uninstaller ;)

MPlayer is a self-contained application. There are no files installed to any other directory than the install folder you choose during setup. So for uninstall it's enough to delete this folder in Windows Explorer and you are done. But you won't need to do this for an unpdate! Just run the new installer and let it install to the same directory as before. It will even remember the install location form now on. Old files will be replaced automatically with new versions. Of course you have to make sure MPlayer isn't runing during install.

That actually made the video even more choppy. Ideas why?

Not really. Try use this: -sws 9 -vf-add scale=x:y
This will use Lanczos resize, which should give best quality.

[LoRd_MuldeR]

*Update*

1. Reset the MPlayer settings only when selected by user
2. Added "File Associations" to the installer
3. Added an uninstaller (for all the people that can't delete the install folder themselves ^^)

Is it possible to make MPUI work around the "slightly" annoying "unpause" problem when using seek bar. What i mean is that if i have the movie on pause and i use the seek(bar) it will automatically start the playback. :(

I think when the host application sends a 'seek' command to MPlayer, then it will unpause the player. This could be worked arround by sending a 'pause' command right after the 'seek' command, but I don't know if it really makes sens. Anyway this would be a feature request for MPUI.

[vlada]

LoRd_MuldeR> According to DVD menu i MPlayer, I just read the artice (it's in Czech language) again and I probably missunderstood it the first time. They were talking about GeeXBox v1.0 and said it has now menu support. Because GeeXboX is based on Mplayer, I thought it is a new MPlayer's feature. But it seems more likely, that it is only implemented in GeeXBox.

[celtic_druid]

There was a patch some time back. Not sure what is the situation with current svn though.

[LoRd_MuldeR]

I can't imagine how DVD menu-support should work in MPlayer. Maybe controlling the menu's via Keyboard hotkeys only? But no matter if it is available or not, it would need a lot of changes in MPUI to use it...

[the gladiator]

Yes, a basic support through the enter and arrows keys would be more than enough !!!

It’s really a shame that MPUI doesn’t manage DVD menus: it’s a big minus for people looking for a single reader, because MPUI would have many of the needed features. Also some of the freeware “competitors” do manage DVD menus (although in a non-optimal way such as MPC).

Celtic_Druid, if I remember well the patch you were mentioning was only for Linux, useless then for a user as I am (without the needed skills to port that piece of sw in a windows environment).

[LoRd_MuldeR]

We'll have to wait for a proper support for DVD menus in MPlayer before we can think of adding menu-support to MPUI. If I remember correctly, this was planned for MPlayer G2. But I did not read any news of MPlayer G2 for a long time...

LoRd_MuldeR - I set up MPUI to default to English in Instantplayer, but it doesn't seem to read the MPUI.INI file after the media is wrapped into the .EXE

When an InstantPlayer is executed, it will extract MPlayer, MPUI and the media file to a temp folder. After playback has ended, this temp folder will be cleaned (deleted). Next time you run the InstantPlayer, the files will be extracted to a new temp folder and so on. This means if you save any settings, then the MPUI.INI will be saved in the temp folder and thus removed after the InstantPlayer is closed. No way to save any settings at this point. Nevertheless MPUI should use your OS's language by default.

[LoRd_MuldeR]

*Update*

I just made a few changes to MPUI. It is now able to handle multiple instances. This means instead of creating a new player, the running instance will play the video! Furthermore you can add files to Playlist via command-line or Explorer (MPUI.exe -enqueue "x:\some path\video.avi"). Not tested very much, but seems to work. Furthermore fixed a problem, that somtimes made "short" file names appear instead of full name.

[ExtraEye]

your build of mplayer is probably the best option for playback in terms of performance but there are some things that are missing for me.
first is personal:
i have dual screen mode with a HD tv which i use to view my movies and clips and mplayer doesn't show any picture when i move it to the tv screen. i know this problem also exists on the original mplayer for windows so i'm not sure you can actually do anything about it but if you can that would be great.

the second is more global the way i see it: more options plz.
i use zoom player as default player because it offers me many options and functions which enable me to optimize the player for my needs. i'm not suggesting you add all those options but some configuration of the way the player behaves would be very nice. for example setting key shortacts (option for global keys is even better ^^). also customization of the way the player behaves when clicked on and so on.

now the most important feature:
because mplayer uses filters internally it would be nice to be able to set them up according to your needs. also im missing the ffdshow filters like including avisynth scripts and limiting the color range.

just wanted to suggest some things i miss on your release.
except for that you do a great job and mplayer is great. i recommend it to anyone who has problems running videos on their pc.

[LoRd_MuldeR]

@ExtraEye

There are so many filters and options in MPlayer that it's nearly impossible to add all of them to the GUI. You would end up with one bloated and ugly UI, I guess. And you must remember that every user needs other options, so it's the best way to only add the very basic options to the GUI. We want to keep it clear and esay-to-use. If you need any advanced options, please read the MPlayer manual (http://www.mplayerhq.hu/DOCS/man/en/mplayer.1.html) and add all the options you need to "Additional MPlayer Parameters" (to be found at Tools -> Options). And please use -vf-add instad of -vf if you add any Video filters.

The multi-monitor issue is something, that is on my to-do list. You can make the overlay appear on the second monitor by adding -adapter x, where x is the number of the screen (for example 2 is my TV-Out). Then you can move the MPUI window over and you will see the video! Unfortunately fullscreen mode doesn't work yet, because MPUI goes fullscreen always on primary monitor, which means black screen. I hope I can find a way to fix it one day! Workarround for the moment: Use Compact Mode on second screen...

[ExtraEye]

Thank you very much for the reply. I tried your solution and it works perfectly so thank you very much for that :) (compact mode indeed does the strick).

about the GUI getting bloated I partly agree because adding too many options may bloat the player which right now works very well and extremely fast I must say.

Still, it is possible to add a seperate GUI that helps configure options (something seperate from the actual player).
Any user, even novice ones, would want to be able to fit some of the player's behaviour to their liking. So even if adding configurations for codecs and filters is bloating and scaring away users it isn't the case with behaviour settings.
just my point of view.
So thank you very much for your work and your replies I would look into the manual but just wanted to suggest my opinion.

Also I wanted to say the "make instant player" program is very smart and could help with many future problems so nice idea and again great job ^^

EDIT:
How do i make mplayer not center it's interface every time it plays a new video?

That's a feature of MPUI, you cannot change it currently. (at least for my builds)

-vf-add filter1=x:y,filter2=x:y,filter3=x:y -af filter=x:y (...)

example:
-vf-add scale=640:480,unsharp=c3x3:0.5:l3x3:0.5 -af volnorm=2

[ExtraEye]

is there a way to add avisynth scripts to the files running on mplayer (like in ffdshow)?

[Henrikx]

Mplayer can open and run avs Scripts

[ExtraEye]

Mplayer can open and run avs Scripts

and aply them to any currently running file? or just ready made scripts that you have to mention the file it works on?

[Henrikx]

Scripts like :
DirectShowSource("C:\Test.avi",fps=14992.5037481259,audio=false)
#blank deinterlace line
#crop
#resize
#denoise

named Test.avs

[ExtraEye]

then that's not what i meant.
what i meant was something similiar to what you can do in the ffdshow filter (although i find it to be buggy atm). meaning the ability to specify a couple of avisynth filters that would come into action in any file the player (in this case mplayer) plays.

@ExtraEye
Sorry,than i understood you wrong.
On your question, I know unfortunately no answer...:(

@ExtraEye

No apologize required ^^.
Anyway I was wondering if there was any actual difference between setting the player to compact mode along with setting the setting "-vf-add scale" to the screen's resolution and using fullscreen mode? i mean any technical difference between full screen mode to window mode?

edit:
hmm for no apparent reason the script you suggested stop working suddenly (the scaling. the video is still working on the second monitor).
<vo_directx><ERROR>UpdateOverlay failed
<vo_directx><ERROR>Overlay:x1:0,y1:310,x2:1280,y2:694,w:1280,h:384
<vo_directx><ERROR>invalid rectangle

It just stopped working without me changing anything. I tried different videos and the problem persists. Also when I remove the line that tells it to work on the second monitor it works again. what the...?

Thanks for this unified package! MPlayer + MPUI has now replaced MPC as my media player of choice. However, your MPUI build doesn't handle URL command line parameters correctly: it treats them as local files. For example (in c:\apps\mplayer\):
MPUI.exe http://test.com/test.mp3
mplayer.exe is given a "file": c:\apps\mplayer\http:\test.com\test.mp3, which can't be opened. I replaced your MPUI.exe build with the one from MPUI's website and it works the way it should. Just a heads-up.

Thx, LoRd_MuldeR, for this useful package!

it's the first time I managed decoding via mplayer on my system with proper sound (spdif) and overlay (matrox g400). Before i was too stupid ;)
-afm hwac3, -vf yuy2
mplayer is less cpu hungry [~10-20%] than i.e. mpc+coreavc/ffdhow/xvid-decoder :)
mkv v2 (simpleblock) is also supported. great thing!

except the quicktimetrailer (remuxed in mp4): they don't seem to be supported yet.

mplayer's postprocessing is good for most formats but i think it ruins the picture when used on h264 sources. is there a way to make it automatically not work on such sources?
from what i understand form the mplayer manual i need to use "−pp o". but how do i make it so this paramater comes into effect only on h264 sources?

[sorin61]

I have two questions that I could not find the answer to.
1. Is there a way to determine MPlayer to take into consideration the tags for italic subtitles <i> in *.srt ?
2. Is it possible for a movie in 16:9 format to determine MPlayer to show the subtitles on the black band under the movie ?
Thank you.

[celtic_druid]

You can use vf expand to expand to 4:3 or whatever. As for the subtitles, only thing I can think of would be to convert to ssa/ass and use libass to render. That way you get pretty much full formatting. Definitely italics anyway..

example:
add "vf=expand=320:::::4/3" to your config. That way everything gets expanded to 4:3. Anything less than 320 horizontal also gets padded to 320.

Some information about recent MPlayer improvements:

2006.10.22, Sunday :: MPlayer 1.0rc1 released
posted by the release team

We wish to thank the Google Summer of Code project for sponsoring the FFmpeg project. Thanks to the SoC program for 2006, the FFmpeg project was able to get help from students to implement more native codecs.

The highlights of this release are native VC-1/WMV3, On2 VP5 and VP62 (used in some Flash video files) decoding, which works even on non-Intel platforms and SSA/ASS/color subtitles.

Furthermore we can now run natively on Intel Macs (you just have to pass --disable-win32 --disable-mp3lib to configure), -endpos was finally added to MPlayer and the Windows GUI has seen a number of improvements.

Vorbis decoding has seen a big speedup, as has H.264. The optimizations to H.264 are still ongoing, but the difference should already be noticeable.

And last not least many bugs were found and fixed since pre8.

MPlayer 1.0rc1 will no longer load a file-specific configure file located in the same directory as the file you're playing, because of potential security concerns (thanks to Rudolf Polzer for pointing this out); if you want to restore the old behavior add -use-filedir-conf.

If you already have the binary codec package from pre8 you don't need to redownload it: The new 20061022 packages do not contain any new codecs, they just miss some that now work natively.

[Wurstwasser]

Congratulations for your great UI.

How can I pass arguments via commandline?

Example. "mplayer http://www.bbc.co.uk/cymru/live/rc-live.ram" does not work. This is, because for whatever reason mplayer does not detect this to be a playlist. So I call "mplayer -playlist URL" in general, which works.

How can I start "mpui.exe -playlist http://www.bbc.co.uk/cymru/live/rc-live.ram", so that mpui passes the -playlist to mplayer? Also, I'd like to pass "-cache n". I know I can set both options statically to mpui, but can those be passed dynamically?

Another question. Why is this in the mplayer output? The file exists (on w2k here). Is there a way to edit mpui.exe's mplayer.exe call?

C:\WINNT\Fonts\Arial.ttf doesn't look like a bitmap font description, ignoring.
Cannot load bitmap font: C:\WINNT\Fonts\Arial.ttf

Now my strangest problem. I lost my file type icons in explorer of all audio files, which could be assciated with mplayer. It was after I checked the file association box in the installer. I tried to re-associate with foobar2000 audio player, but this does no more work. It's really strange, maybe someone would be kind and have a look here... http://www.hydrogenaudio.org/forums/index.php?showtopic=49838&st=0&gopid=446598&#

If you want to play files in the GUI version of MPlayer (that means in MPUI) then you do not run MPlayer.exe directly! You just run MPUI.exe. You can open files with MPUI.exe "c:\my folder\my file.avi". If you want to append a file in the playlist then use MPUI.exe -enqueue "c:\my folder\my file.avi". Loading playlists MPUI.exe "c:\my folder\playlist.m3u" or URLs MPUI.exe http://www.server.com/file.mp3 works just the same way.

About file associations: I only can make sure that my Installer sets up the MPUI associations correctly, if that options is selected by user. In order to do so, I have to clean up existing associations. When other applications don't set their associations properly, then I cannot do anything about that for obvious reasons...

BTW: You can ignore the Font warning message!

[manias]

Amazing build! :)
Only thing I come across is.. using twinview (tv out).
When you drag mplayer across to the tv and play a file, it jumps back to the main screen (i.e. the pc monitor).
The GUI for mplayer (old one) does the same thing.. Any idea why?
Also when it starts playing @ monitor you can drag it across to the tv but the player's screen will be black..
In for instance zplayer when you drag the player the screen will be black while you drag, then regain picture once you let go and you are able to drag it onto the tv screen.. Only problem is that mplayer, to my knowledge, is the only xvid-streaming program around (which is what i'm trying to do - stream xvid from a site to tvout using twinview etc)

that's exactly what's troubling me too. if only it would be fixed mplayer would be much better for me.

but also i'd like it if no postprocessing would be done on h264 files :(

[LoRd_MuldeR]

You can make it view the video on second screen by adding -adapter 2 to Additional MPlayer parameters in options Window.

What kind of h.264 postprocessing you talk about? If you disable postprocessing in the options window, then no postprocessing will be done! Of course h.264's Inloop Deblocking is still on, because this is how h.264 works! Disabling h.264's Inloop Deblocking means improper decoding of the video!

[ExtraEye]

i meant that when you view a new video it comes back to the other screen so i have to drag it back to the tv each and every time.

i meant to automatically turn off post-processing when h264 is played

[Wurstwasser]

Oh Lord,

thanks for your explanations ;)

In order to do so, I have to clean up existing associations. When other applications don't set their associations properly, then I cannot do anything about that for obvious reasons...

Of course I can understand this. Could you give me a hint or a link (maybe to your installers source code) of what exactly happens, when doing the file association? It is because I am thinking foobar2000 does not a complete job on this, but I couldn't find out what step is missing.

EDIT. I think it's solved. Seems like foobar should delete HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\FileExts\[filetype] before it associates the extension. (Currently it doesn't do it).

Anyway my issues were fixed by using GOMplayer (windows only) just thought u might want to know ExtraEye :) Try it!

[LoRd_MuldeR]

i meant that when you view a new video it comes back to the other screen so i have to drag it back to the tv each and every time.

That's the auto-center feature.
I have to re-think how we could solve that problem...

i meant to automatically turn off post-processing when h264 is played

Problem is: We first set if we want to have post-processing or not and then we get to know what kind of video is in the file. That's because postprocessing is enabled (or not enabled) in the command-line when we launch MPlayer.exe. Of course MPlayer.exe only reports back the format of the video when it is already running. So I don't think it will be possible. Except postprocessing-level could be changed while MPlayer is running, but I doubt there is a command for that...

[LoRd_MuldeR]

EDIT. I think it's solved. Seems like foobar should delete HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\FileExts\[filetype] before it associates the extension. (Currently it doesn't do it).

Yes, this has to be done!
I was wondering why my associatiosn don't work properly until I discovered that...

But have a look at the case of *.ram playlist files which have to be resolved, try http://www.bbc.co.uk/cymru/live/rc-live.ram: I do not find a way playing them with mpui.exe (except adding -playlist in the mpui options, but then other files will not play). To play .ram with mplayer.exe, I have to use the flag "-playlist". With mpui.exe, I do not see a dynamic way. See what I mean?

I've just downloaded that .ram file, opened it with MPUI and it works fine!
MPUI will parse the .ram file properly and load the specified URL.

The command MPUI.exe "c:\downloaded\rc-live.ram" works fine.
Same for loading the URL diretly with MPUI.exe rtsp://rmlivev8.bbc.net.uk/farm/*/ev7/live24/cymru/live/cymru_dsat_g2.ra

So I don't understand your problem...

BTW: There is no -playlist command in MPUI.exe !!!

I see what you mean, but imo it's a workaround: The typical or most likely way of calling the url would be "mpui http://www.bbc.co.uk/cymru/live/rc-live.ram", which does not work, because mpui does not resolve then.

Same with mplayer.exe itself. A lot of people run into the error message "end of file. exiting." because they don't know they have to add "-playlist" when using .ram. With .asx, they don't have to use "-playlist", whough this is also one.

[foxyshadis]

Actually, I think most of the time it would be opened in response to a browser click, which means that it's already cached locally by the time MPUI opens it. Also: Play File works, since the common open dialog is equivalent to clicking a file in IE. Play URL doesn't, though it should. Getting Play URL and opening on command line working would probably be the same thing.

[LoRd_MuldeR]

I see what you mean, but imo it's a workaround: The typical or most likely way of calling the url would be "mpui http://www.bbc.co.uk/cymru/live/rc-live.ram", which does not work, because mpui does not resolve then.

That's not how it is intended to work! The idea of .ram file is, that you download it in your Web-Browser and then open it with your favourite Player. The player will read the URL of the stream from that .ram file, connect to the stream and play it. Usually they will link to the .ram file on their website. So if you click on that link, your Browser will show a Download dialog and ask for an application to open the downloaded file with. That would be MPUI in your case. If you do it that way, there shouldn't be a problem.

If you want to open the stream directly (without downloading a playlist file first), then of course you will have to tell your player the URL of the Stream and not the URL of the playlist file! Anything else would be sensless. Either you open the Stream directly or you use a playlist file. That's just it.

So everything works as expected and I don't think there is anything to be fixed here...

makeinstant player is a different software seperate of mplayer. it's a kind of packing editor that puts video files together with mplayer creating an exe file that runs without need for any player to be installed on the system.

I'm having subtitle issues with the latest Full-Package of Mplayer.

A forum member not too long ago said to use -slang en -sid 0 -subfont-autoscale 0 -subfont-text-scale 25 in the "Additional MPlayer Parameters" section to get subs to show up nicely, and they were with my previous Full-Package installer.

Some subs for some movies show up entirely black now, and some for other movies have strange artifacting to the right of the text.

All my subs are currently in the idx/sub format.

it is a problem with the NSIS installer... LoRd_MuldeR can't do much about it... and he's right - get a proper AV software. IMHO AntiVir is on top of them all and soon after I had this false positive reported by AntiVir too, they released an updated virus definition file no 24h later (I reported them its behaviour) ... and guess what, no more false positives with NSIS installers ;)

Hotkeys cannot be changed for MPUI :scared:

Seems the 'new' mirror has moved:
http://lastspell.my-place.us/mirror/Mplayer_for_Windows/

Still wonder who makes that...

[helms]

I can't seem to get mplayer rc1 downloaded from the official homepage of mplayer to load the real video codec included in the windows binary codecs package downloaded from the same site and unzipped to the codecs directory. I am using the mplayer.exe from the official site along with the mpui frontend.

Is it just a problem with rc1 build on the official site or did I put the codecs in the wrong place. It worked before with the mplayer pre build I had before.

Is there a way for me to specify the directory of the codecs in the windows build? something i can type in a configuration or ini file?

I've been caught.:D
It is redirect site for tirnanog.fate.jp
Transfer bandwidth of MPUI packages are 4-6GBytes/day just from softpedia,hispamp3,addict3d etc....
so, I've joined and redirect to these free hosts.(with refer from softpedia,hispamp3 so far )

also, sorry I'm toooo late to greeting you.
Could I mirror your great packages? (may not be permanently^^)

btw, sakuratan.xlphp.net banned in 1day... orz
(possibly my-place.us too...)

Regards.

Hello,
Audio (MP3) Problem :
The sound is played at a very high pitch for a part of a second when the playback tracker is moved in the timeline.
It is terrible if I listen music with headphone.
This is so only with Mplayer.
Any Solution ....???

I guess that would be something to report to the MPlayer mailing list...

BTW: Do you use -af volnorm ??? If so, then try -af volnorm=2 or keep it disbaled.

[Henrikx]

THX for answer.

If you still know the old tapes on 2 spools if one has wound fast there, such a noise also was.
I hope this is formulated correctly in English

Mulder,
I sometimes require MPUI to passthrough the AC3 and other times I require it to decode it to stereo output. I know I can change the settings etc, but I was thinking it would be nice if I could end up with 2 shortcuts to the player, 1 with passthrough sound and 1 with decoded sound. Is this possible? I was thinking maybe an alternative .INI file?
Is there a commandline to have MPUI load an alternative .INI? (This could be very handy ;) )
Or do you know of another way I could achieve this?
Thank you

There is no command-line parameter for this.
But you can put two MPUI.exe into two different directories, each with it's own MPUI.ini file...

[MattO]

Mulder, thanks for the tip.
So can I do it by just putting the MPUI.EXE file in a separate folder or do I have to copy across all of the installed files?

[LoRd_MuldeR]

At least MPUI.exe and MPlayer.EXE.
If you need the Codecs (WMV, QuickTime, Real, ...), then you have to copy over the "codecs" folder too.

But I got another Idea:
Make two INI files and call them like "MPUI_1.INI" and "MPUI_2.INI".
Now make two Batch files.
First Batch will copy "MPUI_1.INI" -> "MPUI.INI" and launch MPUI.EXE.
Second Batch will copy "MPUI_2.INI" -> "MPUI.INI" and launch MPUI.EXE.
This way you can avoid having two copies of everything...

[MattO]

Ah, good idea, I will give it a go, thanks.

I would like to see a "Snapshot" function in MPUI :sly:

Ever tryed to press the "S" button? :p

No I haven't :)

hehe, it worked :sly:

[LoRd_MuldeR]

No I haven't :)

I would add that to the "keyboard help" window, but I really don't want to change 23 language files :o
Extending multi-lang software is pain...

-af volnorm normalizes audio playback (which I need with my headphones) but is there another switch / option I can add to that that will prevent clipping?

Try -af volnorm=2

"2: Use several samples to smooth the variations via the standard weighted mean over past samples"

[MattO]

Hi Mulder, just saying thanks for your suggestion of the .BAT files to rename various instances of MPUI.INI to the actual MPUI.INI, it works great ;)

[MattO]

Mulder,
I use the SPDIF pass through commands, but regardless of whether I am playing a AC3 or DTS file the "clip information" always states "Channel: 2" even when I know the audio source is 5:1. Do you know why this is?
