PLAYIT='mplayer -loop 0 -playlist if then Here is an example of a script for an easy start/stop of playing a predefined radio station. This may result in a different font being used than the OSD subtitle renderer. Fontconfig will also be used to select which font to use when there are no embedded fonts. As per the note in the mplayer's man adding embeddedfonts=true is unneeded if fontconfig is version 2.4.2 or newer. Mplayer will also complain about subtitles being either too long or having too many lines.Įnabling ass also enables any embedded fonts. This is caused by the positioning information being interpreted as something to be displayed. One possible indication of needing to enable this flag is if you get numbers appearing with your subtitles. $ mplayer -ass path/to/subtitledVideo.mkv In order to get Advanced SubStation Alpha (ass) or SubStation Alpha (ssa) formatted subtitles to display properly you need to either edit ~/.mplayer/config and add: $ mplayer -ao jack path/to/file Advanced Subtitles If you do not have JACK running all the time, you can have MPlayer output to JACK on an as-needed basis by invoking MPlayer from the command line as such: To have MPlayer audio output directed to JACK as its default behavior, edit ~/.mplayer/config and add: Using the 9 and 0 keys, volume can be adjusted between 0 and 400 percent.

#Mplayer media player software

The startup volume defaults to 100% of software volume and the global mixer levels will remain untouched. To increase the maximum volume to 400%, use softvol=yes and softvol-max=400. With MPlayer, the DVD could be set to a low volume. Set a default audio language by editing ~/.mplayer/config and adding the line alang=en for English. An audio track is selected with -aid audio_id. To find the audio language, start MPlayer with the -v switch to output audio IDs. To enable mouse support in DVD menus use: Note: You use arrow keys to navigate and the Enter key to choose. Tell it to use /dev/sr0 with the dvd-device option at the command line, or the dvd-device variable in ~/.mplayer/config. For example, adding '-chapter 5' to the command starts the dvd playing at chapter five of the title. To start at a specific chapter use the '-chapter' flag. The -playlist option is necessary because these streams are actually playlists and cannot be played without it. If you want to play a video stream (e.g an ASX link) use:

You can use xvinfo to check which video modes your graphic card supports. Or add the following line to ~/.mplayer/config: To get translucent video output in X you have to enable textured video in MPlayer: Translucent video with Radeon cards and Composite enabled
