I am subscribed to this thread. Have been for over two years. And I only get notified of your new build today. Glitch in the settings?

Maybe your anti-spam filter blocked the notifications?

Anyway, if you have a good reason the believe that thread notifications are not working, you should post it here (http://forum.doom9.org/forumdisplay.php?f=45).

I'm still using 2011-06-09 (Build #91). It's been working well.

Heck, that version is more than two years old. And it still used the old, now defunct, auto updater. The installer has been re-written from scratch since then!

So you might want to update manually now ;)

MPlayer does not equal SMPlayer.

From SMPlayer's page:
"But apart from providing access for the most common and useful options of MPlayer, SMPlayer adds other interesting features like the possibility to play Youtube videos or download subtitles."

Hi LoRd_MuldeR,

I just recently noticed that while the official Windows build of SMPlayer (http://smplayer.sourceforge.net/) includes SMTube (YouTube Browser), your package doesn't, as clicking on the icon in SMPlayer renders an error message saying "The YouTube Browser couldn't be launched. Be sure SMTube is installed.".
Just to be sure, I checked and SMTube is not installed, and I don't remember ever seeing a reference to it in your installer.

Yes, the "MPlayer for Windows" package only includes the SMPlayer front-end, but not SMTube.

Since SMTube not only allows for watching Youtube clips outside of the Youtube web-site (which already might be a violation to their ToS) but also for downloading them, it's legal status is dubious :scared:

So please understand that I have no plans to include SMTube in may MPlayer package. Especially since we have strict rules about downloaded material in this forum.

Thanks for the info LoRd_MuldeR, as just until recently I really thought that by including SMPlayer in your MPlayer package, you included all of its features, which is not the case as it seems.

As for viewing and downloading YT videos without their consent, we already have tons of known apps and even browser add-ons for that (without even considering that YT also allows embedding videos on external websites, and that your browser downloads the videos you see on YT, which are up for grabs in the temp cache files), so I don't know how much more illegal than that SMPlayer with SMTube would be.

Thanks for the info LoRd_MuldeR, as just until recently I really thought that by including SMPlayer in your MPlayer package, you included all of its features, which is not the case as it seems.

This is an MPlayer package, so I'm including SMPlayer as a front-end to MPlayer.

SMTube, despite being created by the SMPlayer developer, is a separate application and you certainly don't need it to use SMPlayer as an MPlayer front-end.

You can easily grab SMTube as an "add-on" from the well-known location, if you need this extra functionality.

As for viewing and downloading YT videos without their consent, we already have tons of known apps and even browser add-ons for that

Just because those tools exist, doesn't mean that they are conforming with Youtube's ToS.

Also, whether something is considered legal or not greatly depends on which part of the world you live in. The people providing these tools might be located in countries where they are "safe" from prosecution.

Or to express it provocatively: Is robbing a bank legal, because somebody else did it before and got away with it? ;)

without even considering that YT also allows embedding videos on external websites, and that your browser downloads the videos you see on YT, which are up for grabs in the temp cache files

Yes, Youtube does allow "embedding" clips into third-party websites, but this "feature" is not available for all clips!

Furthermore, they only allow for embedding the Youtube player into the website via IFrame, but they don't give you direct links to the stream. And certainly they don't give you download links.

The fact that, even with the official Youtube player, parts of the clip will be cached on your local computer temporarily doesn't change anything about this...

so I don't know how much more illegal that that SMPlayer with SMTube would be.

Nor am I! But it's dubious, at the very least. And I certainly do not want to take a legal risk. Not for a project that I'm maintaining in my free-time, without pay. Please understand this!

Raen

16th June 2014, 16:01

I understand all that, and I didn't want to question anything from the start.

I just found strange that SMTube wasn't included with SMPlayer in this package, as SMTube is installed by default in the official SMPlayer installer. And yes, I always knew that this is a MPlayer package, were SMPlayer is merely included as a front-end and is not the main focus, I never meant that to be the point ;-)

Thanks for the clarification.

Assuming you are using the SMPlayer front-end, please see the "Subtitles" page in the "Preferences" dialog!

Thanks

Another question, what does Post Porcessing = 6 do to the video??

Should i use Software scaling (720p videos on 1080p resolution TV) or Post processing or both?

TIA

LoRd_MuldeR

7th July 2014, 16:23

"Postprocessing" tries to smooth out compression artifacts in the video, which comes at the cost of reduced detail/sharpness. You usually don't want "Postprocessing" to be enabled by default.

Software Scaling means that the video will be scaled to the final size in software before it is sent to the video renderer. Otherwise, the video is sent to the video renderer as-is and we simply let the video renderer take care of scaling.

Most of the time you will be fine without software rendering. This also saves a whole lot of CPU time ;)

SMPlayer v14.9.0 is out, and it seems that it now has a x64 version too.

SMPlayer includes a fix for the Video Generator component, which wasn't outputting files with the exact specified image width.

SMPlayer v14.9.0 is out, and it seems that it now has a x64 version too.

Expect a new package with latest SMPlayer plus latest MPlayer soon.

Anyway, 64-Bit SMPlayer is pointless, because the 32-Bit version runs just fine on 64-Bit Windows. At the same time, the potential benefits of going 64-Bit, i.e. the ability to address more than 4 GB of memory plus somewhat faster computations (in certain cases), don't apply to a GUI front-end. If the GUI occupied more than 4 GB of memory are performed a significant amount of computations, something would be seriously wrong ;)

The 64-bit package includes also a 64-bit mplayer.

Hi, LoRd_MuldeR

do you know of any way to directly load any type of directshow filter into mplayer? Like not just video decoder filters but video and audio type filters like this one here.

http://www.dmitrirender.ru/

Would this work for it?

http://oss.netfarm.it/dsnative/

Or this?

https://github.com/william0wang/dshownative

If so, how to use these and could it be implemented into gui interface? Thanks in advance.

Updater.exe runs during a re-boot when it likes. No way to switch it off or on. What files does it change, remove, update? I see no change in MPlayer.exe, SMPlayer.exe, MPUI.exe

If you decided to install/activate the "auto-update" feature during MPlayer for Windows installation, it will periodically check for new updates (every 14 days).

Technically, the auto-updater will run on each system start. But the first things it does is checking whether the update checking period has elapsed yet or not. If not, it will exit immediately. Otherwise it will actually check for new updates.

If and only if a new update was found, the auto-updater will suggest to download and install the new version. Installing the new version still requires confirmation by the user though! None of your files are changed "silently".

(BTW: In case you which to revert your decision and "disable" the auto-updater, just use "msconfig" or Autoruns (https://technet.microsoft.com/de-de/sysinternals/bb963902.aspx)).

Any reason why MPUI.exe has hijacked the Windows Media Player icon? As well as your SMPlayer, I have it shortcut on the desktop. There is only 1 icon to choose from in MPUI if you want to change it, and it's a rip of the WMP icon. Expected their own short list of original icons.

I don't know when -vo direct3d was introduced, but it seems to be better than -vo gl. Do you agree? Of the 17 choices, which video output driver is the best?

Thanks. What's new with mplayer that mpv hasn't already been doing and better?

See answer from "mpv" FAQ:
How is mpv related to MPlayer?
The relation between the two projects is mostly historic. They should be considered two separate projects. mpv and MPlayer are different software, incompatible to each other. There is no overlap in developers and other project members between MPlayer and mpv. mpv is not a drop-in replacement for MPlayer, and the command line switches and behavior are different.
MPlayer users should not expect that mpv is in any way similar to it. Both are CLI video players, and have common roots, but in some areas there are radical differences.

Your bundled visions of SMPlayer, MPUI (MPlayer GUI) and MPlayer works find, but I have decided now to uninstall MPlayer For Windows and I'll unsubscribe from this thread.

I did not like SMPlayer and only used it a few times to try out. MPUI I found better with far less bells and whistles and used it only every now an then. Most of my work is done with MPlayer on the command line.

All these programmes you can get individually from Sourceforge.net, and I'll download MPUI and MPlayer form there in the future.

* Updated mpg123 to 1.25.12Windows XP warning: If you are still using Windows XP and you are trying to update via the Auto-Update tool, you probably will experience download errors. The cause of this is that most of our download mirrors (GitHub, Bitbucket, etc) have switched to TLS-only downloads by now – i.e. any plain HTTP request is redirected to HTTPS – but Windows XP only supports outdated TLS cipher-suites that are considered "insecure" and therefore are not allowed by these sites anymore. This will result in a TLS handshake failure on Windows XP systems. There is no way to fix this, except by updating to a less antiquated operating system.
