Multicore support for mplayer/others

[KornX]

Hi there,

for those who haven't noticed...

http://gitorious.org/projects/ffmpeg/repos/ffmpeg-mt/commits/092dd406b19fe33f1601c80bd428575e360ad5c6

I haven't tested it, but if sb could?

This should work well as testclip...

Sounds like good news :)

Waiting for new MPlayer and ffdshow-tryouts builds :D

[Inventive Software]

It's gotta be in the ffmpeg trunk as well, don't forget. ;)

[LoRd_MuldeR]

uhm? :confused:

[Inventive Software]

MPlayer is all well and good, but traditionally, patches of that nature find their way into ffmpeg too because that's the holding ground for libavcodec, along with MPlayer and VLC. Once it's into the trunk, it'll eventually find its way to ffdshow, cos we generally use ffmpeg's libavcodec code. But this is still a *patch*, there could probably still be some optimisation found. ;)

[LoRd_MuldeR]

AFAIK MPlayer is built using "libavcodec", which is developed in the ffmpeg repository. And the link above shows that the new code was committed to the ffmpeg repository.
So a fresh MPlayer build using the recent "libavcodec" from ffmpeg repository should contain the new code, without the need to apply it as a patch...

no this is a devel branch (ffmpeg-mt).
I think we will have to wait a couple of months before the multithreading code is reviewed and committed to the trunk.

Doah! I didn't notice that :(

??
those builds seem to be pure svn builds and the MT code is not in the current svn branch.

Only if h264 video sample is encoded in slices.

[Mr VacBob]

That code is still quite experimental, but I've watched plenty of progressive H.264 with it and it should be fine there. Currently packed B-frame DivX doesn't work with threads, and PAFF doesn't work ever. I'm working on that now.

I can post an OS X Intel build of mplayer with it, if anyone wants it, and I'll try to update it tonight with a patch against mplayer for better A/V delay.

Now when Google Summer of Code ended is that path already implemented that every player player can benefit form it?
