* Use FFmpeg 3
Changelog:
2016-02-16, Tuesday :: MPlayer 1.3.0 released
MPlayer 1.3.0 "worksforme" is out.
Less than a month after 1.2.1, we're at it again.
MPlayer 1.3.0 is compatible with the FFmpeg 3.0.x releases and (at the time of writing) with FFmpeg git. The tarball already includes a copy of FFmpeg 3.0, so you don't need to fetch it separately.
This release brings you some new codecs and formats, a lot of fixes, and many cleanups. It also includes all the enhancements and speed-ups from FFmpeg; check their changelog if you are curious about the details.
In addition to these, there were a lot of updates to accommodate the API changes made in FFmpeg. Some were simple renames, but others were quite invasive. None of them should have a user-visible effect, except maybe for some corner-cases in the channel order for multichannel files.
pkgsrc changes:
o Switch all mplayer packages to use multimedia/ffmpeg2 instead of the
version bundled with MPlayer. This will make maintainership of mplayer
packages probably a bit easier (and it's particular relevant when dealing
vulnerability issues). Discussed with wiz@.
o Adjust CONFIGURE_ARGS and other part of the Makefile* to reflect the switch
to multimedia/ffmpeg2.
Changes:
1.2.1:
Fixes:
* misc GUI fixes
* fix build regression in FreeBSD
* fix many crashes with fuzzed files
* fix errors for multichannels files and pulseaudio >= 6
Other:
* building with system FFmpeg libs is possible without a local copy of
of private FFmpeg headers
* docs building does not require FFmpeg anymore
* FFmpeg updated to 2.8.5
pkgsrc changes:
* Various misc fixes (thanks to pkglint)
* Do not pass --with-dvdread-config and --with-dvdnav-config, the
dvdread-config and dvdnav-config seems that no longer exist.
* Avoid to pass --enable-libvorbis otherwise libvorbis can not be recognised by
the mplayer configure script.
* (re)Use patches from multimedia/ffmpeg2 instead of using mplayer-specific
ones
Changes:
1.2: "FrameCounter"
Decoders:
* Hardware accelerated decoding on OS X via VDA.
* Internal libmpeg2 disabled by default, on the assumption
that nobody really needs it anymore.
Other:
* "run" slave/keybinding command now supports expanding properties
* better support for > 8 bit formats in -vo gl
* support for XYZ color space in -vo gl
* -vo gl now supports OSD (not EOSD though) with GLES backend.
* GLES backend now uses GLES v2 with YUV support via shaders
* -vo gl supports rotated display without needing video filters via
-monitor-orientation command-line option.
* -vo gl now has an OSX/Cocoa backend, so it should be a better
alternative to -vo corevideo now.
* -vo gl2 renamed to -vo gl_tiled to stop people from assuming it is
better than -vo gl (it is in many ways worse).
* Fixes for DVB, teletext and closed-caption based subtitles.
* Support teletext and CC subtitles in WTV.
* Support binding keys corresponding to non-ASCII characters.
* Limited -endpos support for -dump*
* Danish messages header file renamed from help_mp-dk.h to help_mp-da.h
in order to comply with ISO 639 language code (configure language
options will now require da instead of dk)
* configure: options --enable-gtk1, --with-glib-config= and
--with-gtk-config= removed
* Change ID3 genre name for genre ID 67 from "Psychadelic"
to "Psychedelic"
* support for audio bin/cue images
Ports:
* Windows: support file names as UTF-8 in slave mode and passing
file names as wchar command line arguments.
* Android: MPlayer can be run from adb shell and display videos
via OpenGL ES.
Note that just a bit of seeking etc. would cause reproducible
system reboots after just a few seconds on my Galaxy S2.
* Android: -wid is supported. This should allow using MPlayer in slave
mode, a native window pointer needs to be passed as -wid. Untested.
GUI:
* Support for TV/DVB
* Various improvements of the context menu and the preferences dialog
* Revision of the user interface texts
* Console message with information on deprecated (but still supported)
entries in the skin configuration file
* New symbol character (r) and new dynamic label variables ($D, $U, $P)
* New items (pimage, rpotmeter)
* Updated skins (avifile, Blue, Blue-small, Clearlooks, Corelian,
disappearer, mentalic, mplayer_red, nativeRed, neutron, phony, plastic,
slim, softgrip, standard, trium, tvisor, xanim)
* Video can be rotated
* New GUI message: evSetRotation
* GUI now officially needs GTK+ and GLib versions 2 (it hadn't compiled
with versions 1 for quite some time)
* Support for audio and video bin/cue image playback
* Support for Audio CD / (Super) Video CD / DVD image and DVD copy playback
through the respective scheme (cd://, vcd://, dvd://)
* Support for arbitrary non-binary data file cue sheets (i.e. cue sheets
describing playlists for data files containing multiple titles)
FFmpeg:
* Version 2.8 with local patches
Thanks to wiz@ for misc private discussion.
Pkgsrc changes:
* Fix some pkglint(1) warnings (no functional changes intended)
* Modified options.mk in order to always enable or disable a
PKG_SUPPORTED_OPTION (for more information please give a look to
the second "Note" of options.mk)
* Removed the mplayer-internal-faad PKG_SUPPORTED_OPTION, now faad support is
only enabled via audio/faad2.
* Changed MASTER_SITES, now MPlayer distfile is fetched directly from its
mirror.
MPlayer changes:
1.1: "We gave up on 1.0"
Decoders:
* FFmpeg AAC decoder is now preferred over libfaad2 and the internal
libfaad2 forked copy has been removed in its favor
Demuxers:
* experimental support for using binary Quicktime codecs with -demuxer lavf.
* correct runtime and average bitrate for VBR (variable bitrate) MP3
Filters:
* delogo: allow to change the rectangle based on the time.
* lavfi: libavfilter filter graphs (experimental).
Other:
* support adding noise at output resolution with -vo gl:noise-strength=8
* experimental support for OpenGL ES 1.0 in -vo gl
* support for PGS (BluRay-compatible), DVB and XSUB subtitles.
* af_cmdline slave command to change e.g. audio equalizer options at runtime.
* vo x11: don't hide or show cursor any more if attached to an existing window (-wid)
* try reconnecting network streams e.g. after network timeouts
* lots of bug fixes as always (and surely a few new bugs, too :-( )
GUI: Support for the GUI continues.
* numerous fixes, improvements and updates
* UTF-8 support
* all skin messages available as slave commands (gui <message>)
* fancy new icon
Ports:
* Wine (see DOCS/tech/crosscompile.txt)
MEncoder:
* -force-key-frames option to set explicit seek points.
MPlayer (1.0)
rc4: "Yes We Can"
GUI: Changes towards removing the GUI
* The GUI will no longer display any error or warning messages.
* Special GUI slave commands (gui_*) were removed, along with
the related key bindings.
Decoders:
* YUY2 Lossless Codec (YLC0) via binary DLL
* Truemotion RT codec (TR20) via binary DLL
* Nogantech Codec (NTN1 and NTN2) via binary DLL
* add new FourCCs (m1v1, yuvs, VYUY, Y42B, V422, YUNV, UYNV, UYNY, uyv1,
2Vu1, P422, HDYC, IJLV, MVJP)
TwoCCs (0xA106, 0x6c75, 0xAAC0, 0x55005354)
to existing decoders
* AMR now handled via OpenCORE decoder
* updated Windows Media Screen Codec (MSS1, MSS2) via binary DLL
* CoreAVC H.264 decoder via binary DLL (Windows only)
* Kega Game video codec (KGV1) via binary DLL
* SoftLab-NSK Forward MPEG-2 I-frames (SLIF) via binary DLL
* JPEG 2000 support via OpenJPEG

* CineForm HD (CFHD) via binary DLL
* VP8 en-/decoding through libvpx wrapper and native decoder in FFmpeg
* support for external libmpeg2 added
* hardware MPEG decoder priority lowered
* external libmpg123 support
Demuxers:
* Mostly fixed timing issues with some H.264 (PAFF) samples
* Matroska and Ogg demuxers switched to use libavformat by default.
Report issues and use -demuxer ogg and -demuxer mkv to work around them.
* support for TrueHD in Blu-ray streams in libmpdemux
* more Blu-ray codec support with lavf
* fix length in ASF/WMV files
* support ISDB-Tb DVB streams
Filters:
* remove vf_yuy2, functionality is replaced by -vf format=yuv2
* remove vf_rgb2bgr, functionality is replaced by sws and vf_format
Streaming:
* Support for unencrypted Blu-ray playback through libbluray.
Use it through: mplayer br:////path/to/disc
Drivers:
* -vo yuv4mpeg:interlaced no longer does its own interlaced RGB->YUV
conversion. Use -vf scale=::1 to keep the same behavior and report
if there are any issues with that.
* X11: Window manager chooses Window position by default.
Add geometry=50%:50% to your configuration to get the old behavior.
* -vo md5sum md5 calculation changed so output matches FFmpeg's -f framemd5
* Support for more formats in OpenGL video output drivers (different YUV
subsampling, 16 bit per component)
* Selectable YUV to RGB conversion standard for -vo gl
(-vo gl:colorspace=...:levelconv=...)
* -vo gl now tries to use yuv=2 by default if possible
* -vo gl:stereo=... for experimental stereo (3D) support
* -vo matrixview finally added
* add OS/2 KAI audio driver (-ao kai)
Other:
* -nosub option for disabling auto-selected subtitles
* support for displaying subs in the terminal (FIXME)

* support for 8 channel audio
* sync dvd:// and dvdnav:// features
* support for MPEG-4 ASP in VDPAU video output (non-B-frame only)
* support for live and non-live DVB teletext with demuxer lavf
* -name, -title and -use-filename-title options for MPlayer
* support for stream handling via FFmpeg, in particular RTMP and RTSP
(use e.g. ffmpeg://http://example.com/test)
* experimental support for external libass, configure with
--disable-ass-internal
* better support for 16-bit-per-component formats and formats
with alpha channel
* better out-of-the-box support for compiling for ARM, IA64,
MinGW32 and MinGW-w64, MinGW has ASLR enabled with recent
enough binutils
* libdvdcss synced with upstream Subversion snapshot
MEncoder:
* add -tsprog for demuxer lavf
- workaround name conflict with system header <arm/bswap.h> in libavutils
by subst.mk replacement
- explicitly disable armv5te, armv6, and armv6t2 options that are enabled
by autodetect code in configure but cause illegal instruction errors
on StrongARM and XScale machines
Tested on NetBSD/hpcarm (WS011SH) and NetBSD/shark (Funai's DNARD) 5.99.38.
The builtin libavcodec now uses yasm to assemble hand written
h264 code. The older x264 we currently have in pkgsrc is not supported
by mplayer, so I had to do some hand tweaking to make it work.
It may contain bugs because of this, so report any fallouts with h264.
to version 1.0rc2 (as 1.0rc10).
Changes since version 1.0rc1 (known as 1.0rc9 in "pkgsrc"):
- A lot of new audio and video decoders and other improvements
- A large number of bug fixes
- Updated documentation
- Support for Mac OS X Intel
Approved by Thomas Klausner (because it fixes the Darwin-i386 build).
is upstream 1.0rc1, but we already used rc for the previous versions).

too many changes to list here, see the ChangeLog
most visible: security patches and DragonFly support were intrgrated
upstream, new gmplayer look&feel (like it or not...)
which we had a patch for
-add another patch from the Mplayer site which fixes CVE-2006-0579
(ASF demuxer overflows)
bump PKGREVISIONS of mplayer, mencoder and gmplayer
developer is officially maintaining the package.
The rationale for changing this from "tech-pkg" to "pkgsrc-users" is
that it implies that any user can try to maintain the package (by
submitting patches to the mailing list). Since the folks most likely
to care about the package are the folks that want to use it or are
already using it, this would leverage the energy of users who aren't
developers.
This means that the MPLAYER_ENABLE_RUNTIME_CPU_DETECTION,
MPLAYER_DISABLE_DRIVERS and MPLAYER_USE_MEDIALIB become deprecated
(although still recognized).
Visible changes in the resulting binary packages should be minimum by
default (everything that was enabled before still is, and the same
dependencies are kept). A notable addition, though, is the support for
user-defined menus, closing PR pkg/29784.
Also note that (almost) all dependencies have now a corresponding option
to disable them in case you want to get a minimalist mplayer package.
'make show-options' is your friend ;)
