MPlayer for Windows (2019-10-15)

[rvm]

A toolbar editor is planned for a future version.

But meanwhile:

This document explains how configure the toolbars:
http://smplayer.wiki.sourceforge.net/How+to+customize+the+toolbars

Just replace rewindbutton_action with rewind3, rewind2, rewind1 and forwardbutton_action with forward1, forward2, forward3.

[Clobon]

HiJust replace rewindbutton_action with rewind3, rewind2, rewind1 and forwardbutton_action with forward1, forward2, forward3.

Thanks a lot^^

HF, Clobon

EDIT:

Now that's more like it^^
http://i251.photobucket.com/albums/gg306/clobon/navbarmine2.png
That was default IIRC some packages ago...
Now that I know how to edit it I don't mind^^

Thanks again

EDIT2:

Yes I know I messed up the order of the buttons but I kinda like itXD

Hey guys, new Direct3D9 video renderer from mplayer :D

-vo direct3d is the command to use this vo.
Completely untested ;)

Can't get your build to work with SMPlayer. The console output seems scrambled too:

[Yong]

Sorry :p
my mplayer was patched with old h264-mt patch, it will crash if -lavdopts threads=x is used.
remove the -lavdopts and it will work again :D

[LoRd_MuldeR]

You are right. However the console output is still scrambled, hence the front-end cannot parse the output properly.
This results in: Seekbar and buttons are disabled, aspect ratio is not recognized, etc ...

As far as I can tell, the Direct3D renderer seems to work properly on my Radeon 1950XT, Catalyst 8.11 :)

BTW: Is there a way to load a shader (like in MPC) to correct the typical "TV Levels" vs. "PC Levels" problem of Direct3D video output?

[Leak]

You are right. However the console output is still scrambled, hence the front-end cannot parse the output properly.
That's not exactly scrambled - those are VT100/ANSI escapes to change the text color, which might not work so well with the windows command line... :p

np: Duo505 - Facing It (Late)

[LoRd_MuldeR]

That's not exactly scrambled - those are VT100/ANSI escapes to change the text color, which might not work so well with the windows command line... :p

Obviously it doesn't :D Any workarounds? :confused:

[rvm]

I think there'll probably be an option in the mplayer config file which enables color on the console output. I think that option is called msgmodule, just delete it or pass -nomsgmodule to mplayer (untested!).

BTW, the Direct3D renderer is still under development, it might not work well.

[LoRd_MuldeR]

No luck with "-nomsgmodule" here:

Unknown option on the command line: -nomsgmodule

However commenting out the "msgcolor=yes" line in the "mplayer\config" file did do the job :thanks:


[EDIT]

Noticed one problem so far:
Only after I resize the SMPlayer window at least once, the direct3d output will fill the video rectangle properly.

A very minor problem is that I get scrambled output while resizing...

[Keepitsimple]

I have two screens. When I move the movie from one screen to another. The movie goes black. It seems I can only play it on one screen.

[LoRd_MuldeR]

I have two screens. When I move the movie from one screen to another. The movie goes black. It seems I can only play it on one screen.

If you are using the "directx" (overlay) renderer, it will work on only one screen at a time. To switch screens: In SMPlayer use the "Video" -> "Screen" option ;)

Even better solution: Go with the "gl" (OpenGL) renderer, which has no multi-screen limitation (Options -> Preferences -> General -> Video -> Output driver).

Yeah i experience the same thing too, and the black band on the top and bottom is filled with some "noise" when playing video at fullscreen :D
This is a screenshot of a 800x450 video.
e.g. http://xs233.xs.to/xs233/08474/mplayerd3d9205.jpg
Does not happen on vista though, cat 8.11.

after some testing,
1. it is slower than the mplayer OpenGL renderer.
2. no OSD/subtitle support, but ASS subtitle works.
3. Black color appear as grey when playing SD video.

[LoRd_MuldeR]

1. it is slower than the mplayer OpenGL renderer.

Disappointing. Especially since the OpenGL renderer is still broken in latest Catalyst :(

3. Black color appear as grey when playing SD video.

The usual TV-Levels vs. PC-Levels problem. If we only could apply a pixel shader to correct the levels, like we can in MPC :rolleyes:

[rvm]

The direct3d renderer is still on the early stages of development. Be patience.

Take a look at mplayer-dev-eng (http://lists.mplayerhq.hu/pipermail/mplayer-dev-eng/2008-November/thread.html).

[Keepitsimple]

Lord Mulder, which Opengl renderer should I use? I have a Geforece 7600Gs.

[LoRd_MuldeR]

The direct3d renderer is still on the early stages of development. Be patience.

Sure. I really hope we'll get a fully working renderer for the Win32 version of MPlayer one day :)

The OpenGL renderer would work fine, if ATI/AMD wouldn't break their drivers all the time :rolleyes:

If you are not using the fontconfig for custom subtitle font, i think you can disable it.
Btw, isn't the startup delay only happen once?
i configured fontconfig caching the fonts cache on mplayer folder, because the default setting from fontconfig does not seems to work :rolleyes:

And about ffdshow h264-mt patch, i have been using it for long time, but i dont think its really "mt", it is using 1 core all the time when decoding h264(except x264 encoded video) :devil:
going to revert the changes lol:p

Unfortunately the "caching" happens every time, not just once. That's why so many people complain about "startup delay" in fontconfig-enabled builds :rolleyes:
I now decided to disable fontconfig in my package by default. People that know about it (and need it) can still enable fontconfig easily...

* SMPlayer updated to Version 0.6.5 (SVN-r2301)

[LoRd_MuldeR]

:confused:

Latest stable SMPlayer is 0.6.5.1 while latest unstable is r2327. Am I missing something?

I included the latest SMPlayer revision available. That was r2301 at the time when I built the installer. r2327 was released after my installer had been built.

AFAIK the v0.6.5.1 release was simply a bugfix release for the previous v0.6.5 release. Also SMPlayer v0.6.5.1 equals r2237 (http://smplayer.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/smplayer?view=rev&revision=2237), hence r2301 (ftp://ftp.berlios.de/pub/smplayer/windows/smplayer_update_svn_r2301.7z) is newer (and r2327 (ftp://ftp.berlios.de/pub/smplayer/windows/smplayer_update_svn_r2327.7z) is even newer).

Is that the info you needed? :confused:

It still suffers from the "startup delay" when fontconfig is on. Guess this is the well known fontconfig bug :rolleyes:

Well the mt branch is experimental, so far i think only it decode h264 video without any problem,
but mplayer crash with ac3 decoding, and libavcodec mpeg1/2 decoding does not work with -lavdopts threads=x.
Does not crash for me when seek/pause/play though.

I will try to merging the mt code to curren ffmpeg svn,
but don't expect too much, as i don't have the programming knowledge...:p

[LoRd_MuldeR]

Well , i was thinking of a normal SVN build not an experimental one that crash with everything but x264 files :devil:

For me this build works pretty well. Also with Apple HD Trailers (certainly not x264), MPEG-2 files, Xvid files and all my music files (MP3, Ogg/Vorbis).

Anyways, you probably won't get a "better" build of up-to-date MPlayer until Sherpya updates his builds...

[Vicki_21]

Lord_Mulder,

Firstly, thank you a lot for your excellent work, putting together this great mplayer package for windows. It's the most complete solution i' ve ever found for mplayer playback in a "windows environment". Moreover, trying to keep it always up to date is a remarkable thing!

Now to the point: I 've read in your previous posts that you are not planning to support any vista installations, so i didn't post an irritating bug that existed as it was useless. The bug (or font problem) happened when displaying subtitles in Windows Vista, using MPUI (it's my preferred mplayer front end!): the fonts appeared too stretched, sometimes the showed only capital letters, sometimes strange encodings etc...

To sum up, it wasn't something that i could fix with standard mplayer subfont/subcp flags or other options found in the official documentation. If i remember well, this strange behavior, started a little after your build #23.

However, today, i tried your latest package 2008-11-25 (Build #43) and everything worked fine. Not only the startup delay disappeared, but also fonts are displayed now properly within MPUI.

I am writing this just FYI, as is seems fontconfig produced this problem - so if anyone noticed the above, just grab the latest version!

Finally, one favor to ask: if you enable again similar font options, please write it in the release notes, so vista users can avoid a regression.

Thanks again!

[LoRd_MuldeR]

However, today, i tried your latest package 2008-11-25 (Build #43) and everything worked fine. Not only the startup delay disappeared, but also fonts are displayed now properly within MPUI.

That is because I disabled fontconfig in the latest release. Too many people reported problems with it :rolleyes:

Fontconfig can still be enabled in SMPlayer via "Preferences" -> "Subtitles" -> "Font and colors" -> "System font" (instead of "TTF font").
In MPUI you'd need to add "-fontconfig" to "Additional MPlayer parameters". But most likely the problems will be back then...

And don't worry, I won't re-enable fontconfig by default, unless the problems have been fixed ;)

Glad to hear that!

:thanks: also for your quick reply.

Keep strong! :cool:

Since the lack of new build made by Sherpya , i'm now using the Kovensky's build which are updated pretty often.
If you wanna give it a try :

Just out of curiosity, which build is regarded as the best?

It's forbidden to ask what's best, according to forum rule #12 :rolleyes:

I'd recommend to test a few builds and stay with the one that works most reliable for you. Replacing one MPlayer.exe with another one is easy...

I have already open a sourceforge about MPUI-hcb

Latest mt build:
http://y0ngc6.googlepages.com/Mplayer-r28096-mt.7z
Known problems:
1. mpeg1 video does not play, telecined mpeg2 produce garlbed output if -lavdopts thread=x is used.
2. libavcodec vorbis/wma decoder currently is bugged, use -afm tremor,dmo instead.

MPlayer for Windows 2008-12-11

[2008-12-11]
* MPlayer binaries updated to SVN-r28126
* SMPlayer updated to Version 0.6.5 (SVN-r2420)

Information for MPlayer users:
* To get the OpenGL renderer working with latest ATI Catalyst drivers use "gl:yuv=2:rectangle=2:force-pbo:ati-hack" for full performance.
* There is a new "direct3d" renderer now, which should be helpful for Vista users that have Aero enabled.
* Finally the fontconfig "delay bug" has been fixed (hopefully). Still fontconfig will be disabled by default, just to be sure.

* To get the OpenGL renderer working with latest ATI Catalyst drivers use "gl:yuv=2:rectangle=2:force-pbo:ati-hack" for full performance.


Note that the current SVN version (r28125 and later) try to autodetect good values for rectangle, force-pbo and ati-hack.
Feedback welcome.
If you are interested in the details the logic is like this:
ati-hack is enabled iff the OpenGL vendor string contains the string "ATI"
rectangle is set to 2 if it is supported, 0 otherwise (never 1 since than might break custom programs)
force-pbo is enabled when it is supported and the OpenGL vendor string contains the string "ATI" - this might not be the best option for NVidia owners, but I can not test. I could test that force-pbo is noticeably faster for i945 chipsets.
Ideally, this would leave yuv=2 as the only necessary option to get working and fast OpenGL playback and still acceptable speed without it.
