#Mplayer deb how to
Thanks to Grifter for teaching me how to install this. Special thanks to Mark and Magni who host two of the mirrors! "Installing Mplayer" - Not Debian specific, but includes some codecs that I haven't bothered with I don't have a DVD-ROM, so I have no way of testing DVD support, sorry. If you just want to compile it and not bother with the deb, the "DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS" are what would normally be passed when you compile the package by hand. deb because it's debian's package management tool. deb? How do I compile it without making a. Not really, I could point you to some sites I have found for other distros, but I have never tried them, so I can't guarantee they will work.Īre there many more? I have included the ones I primarily use, so these are the only codecs I have installed and tested. I'm not on debian but I want to install mplayer, any pointers? It is quite possibly due to not completely uninstalling previous versions of mplayer, this is a very important step! If all else fails, you can always uninstall the deb, and reinstall what you had before. I might be able to, as I said, I have tested this, and if something broke it might be a conflict in versions (stable vs testing vs unstable vs mixed system) or a simple user error.
#Mplayer deb Patch
(Apparently there is a patch out so that mplayer will play.

rm can be viewed as a simple text file with the stream location of the actual. Sometimes you will want to watch realplayer files that are. If you're having problems using xv as a video output, try gl or gl2 mplayer -vo help will give you a listing of your options.
#Mplayer deb movie
gmplayer allows you to use "skins" for mplayer, I don't usually use skins because I don't need the gui control, and the skins tend to take away from speed and quailty of movie decoding. Launch mplayer by typing mplayer moviefile (where moviefile is the name of the file you wish to use to test mplayer) When it asks about video output choose which is right for you, if unsure just use xv The End When it's finished compiling, it will create an b file in /usr/src/mplayer Make sure there aren't spaces between - and any-of-the-options Tar -jxvvf 2 (where 'Version' is your version, ie -1.0pre7)ĭEB_BUILD_OPTIONS="-disable-runtime-cpudetection -disable-rtc -enable-live -with-livelibdir=/usr/local/lib/live" fakeroot debian/rules binary In line 27 of the ~/.mplayer/gui.conf file, change: font_name = "/home/lyz/.mplayer/font/sc" to reflect your username (I havent found a way around this step, ~ doesn't work).
#Mplayer deb skin
This will create the ~/.mplayer directory including a skin (neutron), arial size 18 font, and config file (you can skip this if you have your own configs and settings, and/or don't want to use gmplayer)

These are the old codecs, don't worry, we will replace these later, you can pack them up and move them if you are really concerned about losing them) These are the w32 codecs, don't worry, we will replace these later, you can pack them up and move them if you are really concerned about losing them) NOTE: Make sure your gcc and g++ versions match!

Since I don't know where you are downloading these to, you will just need to move them to the proper place when I ask you to unpack them.
