* 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
configure script to autorecognise it).
In that way pkg-config will be used to set the CFLAGS and LDFLAGS (while this
does not happen via --enable-* for various options).
Pointed out by Joyent SmartOS bulk builds.
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.
to address issues with NetBSD-6(and earlier)'s fontconfig not being
new enough for pango.
While doing that, also bump freetype2 dependency to current pkgsrc
version.
