Title: MPlayer-svn-gtk1.tcz Description: The Movie Player. Version: SVN (rev. 29308) Author: MPlayer team. Original-site: http://www.mplayerhq.hu/design7/news.html Copying-policy: GPL Size: 5.0M Extension_by: Jason W Comments: This is the gtk1 build of Mplayer. This extension requires the gtk1.tce and glib1.tce extensions. Install either alsa.tcel or OSS.tcem for sound. It will play most known audio and video formats, as well DVDs without needing additional codecs or dependencies. The default codecs directory is /usr/local/codecs. Gtk1 is the default interface when launched from the menu, but Mplayer will play from the command line in a terminal window or will even play at the console in the framebuffer if you are logged out of X and have framebuffer enabled. Some helpful hints: ---------- Videos cannot by default be scaled to fullscreen with the X11 driver. To be able to scale videos to full screen with the X11 driver, issue this command from a terminal: $ mplayer -zoom f video.mpg But the XV driver is statically compiled and should work if Xorg is running. ---------- To make that annoying message about a subfont go away, symlink a .ttf font to ~/.mplayer/subfont.ttf. If you have dejavu fonts installed and are in the /home/tc directory: $ ln -s /usr/local/share/fonts/dejavu/DejaVuSans.ttf .mplayer/subfont.ttf ---------- Create a link for your dvd drive. If it is /dev/hdc: $ sudo ln -s /dev/hdc /dev/dvd ---------- You may need read access to the drive: $ sudo chmod 644 /dev/hdc ---------- To reduce jerkiness in DVD play, turn on dma acceleration for the dvd drive: $ sudo hdparm -d1 /dev/hdc ---------- If you are planning to use Mplayer from the console (no X running) you need read/write access to the framebuffer device: $ sudo chmod 666 /dev/fb0 Booting with the vga=7xx option is the easiest way to enable the framebuffer. ---------- For audio cd's enter at the command line after making sure that /dev/cdrom points to your desired cd drive: mplayer cdda:// ---------- To access Windows media and some other formats, install the codecs from the Mplayer site. Untar the .tar.bz2 package and copy the codec files to /usr/local/codecs. This extension is PPI compatible.
