MPlayer for Windows (2019-10-15)

[LoRd_MuldeR]

Anyway the point is what brought me to mplayer is specifically its ability to define the user agent without escalated privileges ..... and it works! Just it seems the command line capability is broken (or I'm doing it wrong!). I can live with the .ini configuration I am using right now, but there might be another site in the future that insists I NOT use Quicktime! So getting the command line functionality working as it is meant to would be good.

That would be a point to discuss directly with the MPlayer team. So I recommend to use the MPlayer mailing list:
http://www.mplayerhq.hu/design7/mailing_lists.html

How can i change the font for mpui?

[LoRd_MuldeR]

What font? GUI font? Subtitle font?

[Voltekka]

Subtitle font. It's different from the font in smplayer and the letters are like this: t h i s i s a n n o y i n g. So it's kinda hard to read.

[LoRd_MuldeR]

Try adding those parameters (or a subset of them) to the "Additional MPlayer parameters" in MPUI's option menu:

-ass -embeddedfonts -ass-line-spacing 0 -ass-font-scale 1 -ass-styles "C:\Your path to MPlayer for Win32\styles.ass" -fontconfig -font Arial -subfont-autoscale 0 -subfont-osd-scale 20 -subfont-text-scale 20 -subcp ISO-8859-1 -subpos 100

(Note: I copied them straight from SMPlayer's MPlayer command-line)

[Voltekka]

the letters are not apart anymore but the font is now yellow and covers the whole screen

[LoRd_MuldeR]

Adjust the "styles.ass" file accordingly ;)

[Voltekka]

I changed the size of the font in styles.ass but it remained the same(all across the screen).

MPlayer for Windows 2009-12-20

[2009-12-20]
* MPlayer binaries updated to SVN-r30075
* SMPlayer updated to Version 0.6.8 (SVN-r3355)
* Clean-up the "VirtualStore" on Vista/Win7

[Vicki_21]

What exactly does this "VirtualStore" cleanup affect:

The installer,
MPUI,
or SMPlayer?

[LoRd_MuldeR]

What exactly does this "VirtualStore" cleanup affect:

The installer,
MPUI,
or SMPlayer?

It means that old (S)MPlayer/MPUI config files, which may remain in the VirtualStore (http://www.hanselman.com/blog/VistasShowCompatibilityFilesAndTheScrumptiousWonderThatIsFileVirtualization.aspx) folder (and thus superpose the files in the install folder), will be cleaned-up now ;)

The installer already makes sure that no config files will end up in the "VirtualStore" by setting the access rights properly, but there still may be old files from some previous install.

So if we didn't clean up the VirtualStore, then we can delete/modify the config files in the install folders, but still old config files (from VirtualStore) may be used :rolleyes:

[Vicki_21]

Cool :thanks:

[sl1pkn07]

hello. is possible compiling all for support native 64bits?

thanks

[LoRd_MuldeR]

I don't know if MPlayer can be compiled for 64-Bit Windows and, if possible, how "stable" such builds currently are. Why do you need 64-Bit builds?

The 32-Bit builds work on 64-Bit Windows just fine and often 32-Bit builds are even faster than 64-Bit builds!

But if somebody can provide 64-Bit builds of MPlayer for the Windows platform that are both, as stable as the current 32-Bit builds -and- significant faster, I will include those.

See:
http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?t=151527

[Reimar]

I don't know if MPlayer can be compiled for 64-Bit Windows and, if possible, how "stable" such builds currently are.

I think building for 64 bit should be possible and about the same stability, however
1) The mingw64 environment is quite a pain to set up and could have some issues due to being behind 32 bit mingw
2) You probably can't use any of the binary codecs, even if 64 bit variants exist for Windows

Same as for Linux it should be 10% faster at least for some H.264 files.
I'll try if I can easily make a basic build (i.e. not including OSD support etc.) to test speed.

Ok, here is the build: http://natsuki.mplayerhq.hu/~reimar/mplayer.exe
Caveats:
1) Files > 2GB, in particular DVDs will probably not work right just like for builds with unpatched 32 bit MinGW
2) Only OpenGL vos are available (gentoo cross-compile stuff for MinGW64 does not seem to include any of the DirectX/Direct3D headers).
3) no fontconfig support (so you must use -font or provide a subfont.ttf)
4) I did not even try to compile the GUI (32 bit smplayer should work fine though)
5) fribidi can't even compile on MinGW it seems, so no support for that...
6) probably more missing features I forgot about

Thanks for the build. But I'm unable to get it working with SMPlayer. It's getting all the way to "Starting playback...", but then it will exit immediately. No error message, no crash, no nothing. And yes, I did disabled fontconfig, otherwise it stopped right at the beginning. No idea what option of SMPlayer is conflicting. However if I run your build from the console with "-vo gl", then it works, at least.

Anyway, the limitations that you list are more than enough to not include the 64-Bit into the regular installer yet ;)

[screamo]

Hello LoRd_MuldeR!!!

Help me understand please...
Configure initial MPUI/SMPlayer setting: Use OpenGL renderer instead of Overlay (better, but requires OpenGL 2.0) and Enable DVD menu support (EXPERIMENTAL) - do you recommend these tweaks?

OS: Vista (32)

Thank u and sorry for my bad English

It was meant as a helper for a speed comparison, not a proper build.
But I updated it, and I tested it to work with SMPlayer (including fontconfig).
However I did not apply any patches, which means whatever custom patches other people have been using for fontconfig, MinGW etc. won't be included.
That in particular means some issues with files > 2GB will remain.
Or to put it differently: only caveats 1) and 6) remain, and I don't think I will deal with them (and why Microsoft didn't use the opportunity to switch off_t to 64 bit but instead still has 32 bit file offsets as default in a 64 bit OS is beyond me - unless that is only a bug in the MinGW-w64 headers).

EDIT: updated to include support for OpenJPEG (JPEG2000) and the "native GUI" (not recommended though).

Hi Guys :)
I am using mulders full package on windows 7 x64. Must say that after much searching I found a player that will play everything, will remember my preferences and most of all has good playback quality.

Got one problem, I installed package, went through usuall steps. SMPlayer will Play ANY kind of video format from disk, be that low quality or HD ts, etc.
BUT IT WONT PLAY DVD's (DVD disc)!!!!
In video config section is setted as: gl:yuv=2. If I set it as direct x it will play dvd disc but quality is HORRIBLE. What surprises me is that MPUI DOES PLAY DVDs !!!!!,
I'd like to use smplayer to play dvds because of the color, contrast, etc tweaking you can do...

PLEASE HELP?
:thanks:

[rvm]

You give very few info.

With vo set to gl:yuv=2, the dvd doesn't play at all? What's the output of mplayer? (Options -> View logs)

[LoRd_MuldeR]

ElQuia, you have libdvdnav ("DVD menus") enabled in SMPlayer preferences or not? Maybe you can try to disable it, which should give the same behavior as in MPUI.

[LoRd_MuldeR]

Thanks for the help guys.

Gryphon the version of windows 7 i would be using would be the ultimate upgrade edition. As far as i know you need the windows 7 registration key and vista or XP key to use the upgrade edition.

However, would this make it possible to install the upgrade edition on a new build as a clean install using both windows 7 and vista key at the same time also keeping vista on the laptop. which would then leave me with vista on the laptop and windows 7 on the new build?

Thanks
AC

How is this related to MPlayer for Windows please? :rolleyes:

Lord_Mulder: I have dvd menus disabled, enabling them does nothing, dvd wont play.

BTW, (and sorry for my noob questions); Is there any way of resetting ALL preferences of smplayer to default state, without losing individual file settings?
Is there a way to reset all preferences?
Please advise :confused:

[LoRd_MuldeR]

There is the "Reset" utility included in my package. But of course you will loose your personal setting, because going back to the defaults meas loosing your custom settings...

And of course you can simple delete/rename "SMPlayer.ini" + "MPUI.in" + "mplayer/config".

Be aware that on Windows Vista/7 there may be old configuration files hiding in the "VirtualStore" folder. With the latest release, my "Reset" utility takes care of that!

Updated to latest SVN, now also has the ASLR and NOSEH flags set for better security (note that you can set them with the peflags tool on any old binary you have, the code was always correct, Microsoft just as usual has made not the slightest effort to allow using them without Microsoft compilers).

MPlayer for Windows 2010-01-17 :)

[2010-01-17]
* MPlayer binaries updated to SVN-r30322
* SMPlayer updated to Version 0.6.8 (SVN-r3392)

Is this the original MPlayer (http://www.mplayerhq.hu/design7/dload.html) - as in official support, or just a package for it and some extras?

When installing, you get some options CPU Related: Athlon, Pentium 4... which are realy old. That options is just "functions relates (like SSE)" or do you actually need those exact CPU's?

Your link goes to the "official" MPlayer homepage. My package contains up-to-date builds of MPlayer for the Windows platform, which have been provided by Gianluigi Tiesi (http://oss.netfarm.it/mplayer-win32.php).

Furthermore it contains two GUI's for MPlayer, which are not developed by the MPlayer team and hence won't be found on the MPlayer homepage: SMPlayer (http://smplayer.sourceforge.net/) and MPUI (http://mpui.sourceforge.net/).

You need a CPU that supports at least the instruction sets used by the different CPU-optimized MPlayer builds. My installer will suggest the most "suitable" build for your CPU.

SMPlayer is recommended as GUI for MPlayer on official site, yet they're are many fronted GUI's. :)

Then it would be more suited to Add AMD or Intel and instructions, instead of specific CPU's like Intel Pentium 4 or AMD Athlon... just a fought.

That's not how GCC's "-mtune" option works: http://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc-4.3.3/gcc/i386-and-x86_002d64-Options.html#i386-and-x86_002d64-Options

Also I can't include a separate build for any CPU in existence. Consequently we must pick a few "representative" ones.

Last but not least: I use the builds provided by Gianluigi Tiesi. And I'm not in control of what he provides ;)

That's not what I meant, I was saying to include just the brand (Intel/AMD) and the instructions, like:

AMD (MMX,MMX2,3DNow)

Intel (MMX,SSE,SSE2)

...but since is not you call, doesn't really mater.

MPlayer was the first potent player for a PC, yet it was Linux only at that time. Many years passed since then and many fronted GUI's emerged yet SMPlayer seems to be the only one decent for Windows yet it's kinda on the same page with VideoLan (functionality related). Beyond that, I must admit, compared to the last GUI i tried, this is nice. :) Only wish it with would feel more like it was made for Windows, cause seems like it was made for Linux, maybe one with KDE. :) But guess I should tell this to the one that made it. :) But all in one, I like it, didn't tried MPlayer since 2007.. :D

[LoRd_MuldeR]

AMD (MMX,MMX2,3DNow)

Intel (MMX,SSE,SSE2)

This makes no sense, as newer AMD CPU's support SSE and SSE2 as well!

So if the build was optimized specifically for "Intel Pentium 4" or for "AMD Athlon", then we should call it like that and not use some inappropriate simplification ;)

[Alante]

True, but since Pentium 3/4 are kinda old this days, even for entry LvL PC's and same goes fore Athlons... that part is a little confusing. :) If it's not instructions based, but specific by CPU type then what should we chose "Runtime CPU Detection (Generic)? I installed it on a PC with E2160 and for my CPU, Pentium 4 was recommended, yet on the Note it says: Unfortunately choosing an incompatible CPU might lead to a crash! It those support the instructions of Pentium 4 - but it's a different technology. Then again, it's not your fault if you didn't compiled and implemented those optimizations, but still those CPU's are antique. It did updated MPlayer libraries and all but Optimizations are far behind, to bad they're not instruction based, winch as you implied "even AMD support those now" and that part from Setup could be irrelevant, or even removed.

[LoRd_MuldeR]

Again: While the builds are optimized for a specific CPU model, they will run 100% fine on any CPU that supports the same instruction sets as the CPU for which the build was intended.

For example the "Intel Pentium 4" build will run perfectly fine on any CPU that supports at least MMX, SSE and SSE2. This includes an Intel Core2 or an AMD Phenom, for example.

Of course it would be "perfect" if we had a special build for any CPU that exists, but that would bloat the installer size to the infinite! So we must pick a few "representative" builds!

Also, as said before, GCC doesn't even offer optimizations for the latest CPU generation, such as, Nehalem (Core i3/i5/i7) yet. So we simply can't have optimized builds for certain CPU's.


Most important: Builds that were optimized for "older" CPU's will run on "newer" CPU's, but those "older" CPU's would not able to run builds that were optimized for "newer" CPU's!

So it makes most sense to have builds included that were optimized for "older" CPU's, as those will work on the "older" CPU's as well as on the "newer" CPU's.

The other way around we would exclude users that have "older" CPU's and that would be bad! I know many users love MPlayer because it performs pretty well, even on "older" CPU's ;)

Last but not least it is highly questionable whether a "Core2" optimized build really gives a noteworthy speed-up compared to a "Pentium 4" optimized build on a Core2 CPU...


And I say it again: You should choose the build that was suggested by the installer, because the installer will choose the "most suitable" build for your CPU (from the available builds).

Last but not least it is highly questionable whether a "Core2" optimized build really gives a noteworthy speed-up compared to a "Pentium 4" optimized build on a Core2 CPU...

Since NetBurst is a very "unusual" architecture, a P4 optimized build may run slower on Core2, Nehelam and AMD CPUs than a P3 optimized build.

[LoRd_MuldeR]

Since NetBurst is a very "unusual" architecture, a P4 optimized build may run slower on Core2, Nehelam and AMD CPUs than a P3 optimized build.

The architecture doesn't matter, except for what instruction sets are supported and how many cycles a specif instruction takes.

So do you have any benchmarks to proof your speculation ???

[roozhou]

@LoRd_MuldeR
Decoding a 30s 720P H264+aac video with "-vo null -vf hqdn3d -ao pcm:fast:file=NUL -benchmark"

Tested with sherpya svn-30369 build on a Turion X2 @1.8G. Both ran 3 times and took the median.

P4 build:
BENCHMARKs: VC: 22.005s VO: 27.559s A: 0.344s Sys: 0.073s = 49.981s
BENCHMARK%: VC: 44.0267% VO: 55.1390% A: 0.6883% Sys: 0.1461% = 100.0000%

P3 build
BENCHMARKs: VC: 21.864s VO: 26.361s A: 0.313s Sys: 0.078s = 48.616s
BENCHMARK%: VC: 44.9728% VO: 54.2229% A: 0.6438% Sys: 0.1604% = 100.0000%

I will test on a Core2 tomorrow.

Don't forget the standard deviation.

[roozhou]

Don't forget the standard deviation.
You can do similar tests yourself.

[nurbs]

I know, but I don't plan to.

No benchmarks, but latest MPlayer will for example disable cmov and bsr usage when building for P4, since those are awefully slow on it (I think there's no other CPU where cmov is so slow), and I think gcc will avoid them as well.
I would be surprised to see the P4 build be faster than the P3 one on anything but an actual P4 (which includes most Xeons) - if it's measurable slower is a different question though.

LoRd_MuldeR & Guys :confused:

CAN'T get new build to work.

Just won´t play movie. Shows a "blank page" (litteraly blank, aka white) seems like its working but nothing comes out.

December build works oK, tried uninstalling both and resetting to cero all featrures three times. Dec always works, new build never.

Logs attached, please advise .....
:(

[LoRd_MuldeR]

What MPlayer build (RTM, P3, P4, Athlon) did you pick during install? Do you have problem with all of them? Especially, does the RTM build fail on your system?

You can also try to replace the 'MPlayer.exe' with the one from this (http://sourceforge.net/projects/mplayer-win32/files/MPlayer%20and%20MEncoder/revision%2030369/MPlayer-rtm-svn-30369.7z/download) download. That build is newer (by 3 days) than the one that is currently included in my installer package.

BTW: It's better if you provide logs via http://pastie.org/, so I don't need to wait for your attachments to be approved by a moderator.

1. Installation auto picked P4, just as december build
2. Will try again this afternoon (10:00 am here now) installing new build again and replacing with the mplayer you post.

Will check here BEFORE doing that just in case you have some more feedback ;-)
