MPlayer v0.11-pre17: Feb 4, 2001
fixes
- ASF "missing video stream" fixed (stream id & 0x7F) [Christoph H. Lampert]
- added GL-test directory, it contains source and compiler script of a
very simple open-gl texture updating (glTexSubImage) test program.
if it runs well, then mplayer -o gl should work, too.
it works on G400+Utah-GLX, but segfaults in the G400 driver of X 4.0.2/DRI.
try it with different cards/drivers, and please report me the results.
- benchmarking in gltest.c: calculate fps and process times
- ASF seeking v0.01-pre0.1 :)
MPlayer v0.11-pre16: Feb 4, 2001
ACM fixed
- Win32/ACM audio codec fixed (most important for ASF with DivX audio):
There was an output buffer size problem with the Win32/ACM audio codec
at low bitrates (usually used for ASF files with DivX audio)
Input and output buffer sizes are now queryed, problem solved :)
- SDL support compiling hint by Michael Durller added to the FAQ
- opendivx support in ASF files [G�rard Lantau]

MPlayer v0.11-pre15: Feb 2, 2001
ASF sync fixed
- ASF parser: now supports other than 0x5D segments [Dirk Vornheder]
- new ASF PTS reading: sync works now, including fps...
(-fps no longer required!) [thanks again to Eugene Kuznetsov for docs!]
MPlayer v0.11-pre14: Feb 1, 2001
small fixes, ASF sync v0.1 :)
- version number incremented :)))
- libvo / Xv driver swapped red-blue fixed
- ASF timestamps implemented - now ASF A-V should be in sync if you
specify the correct fps at commandline (-fps), +-1 fps allowed...
[i haven't yet found method to get fps out from ASF headers :(((]
- some error and consistency checking into demux_asf
if you see many warning! messages playing an ASF file, then contact
me and upload the file (first 1MB is enough if it represents the problem)
Don't forget: there is no public doc about the ASF file format, so
everything we know is suspected and can be wrong... without your help
we will never have a working ASF player...
- ASF fragment offset checks disabled for grouping...
MPlayer v0.11-pre13: Jan 31, 2001
libvo changes, MPEG bitrate, VCD fix, ASF grouping
- libvo: draw_slice() interface changed, now it has src stride[3] and
destination rect dimension (w,h,x,y)
It's able to blit whole frames, not only 16-pixel slices...
- libmpeg2 and opendivx codec changed to use new draw_slice()
-> opendivx extra 64-pixel width band at right disappeared!
- MPEG bitrate fix: if picture->bitrate==0x3FFFF (means "unspecified" ?)
then using standard VCD bitrate (75*2324 bytes/sec)
-> fixed seeking for those MPEGs with "16MBit/s" bitrate...
- drivers/sis_vid: video4linux interface disabled
- broken VCD playing fixed: stream_reset shouldn't seek to 0x0...
[bugreport: Kang Sun]
- asf_parser: grouping implemented! [test file provided by Gabucino :))]
MPlayer v0.11-pre12: Jan 30, 2001
./configure fixes, improved odivx-encoding, streaming fixes
- ./configure: use /tmp/main$$.c instead of /tmp.main.c, and
remove file after tests [SaPe]
- ./configure: trying the gcc optimize options and fallback to 'pentium'
if it fails (useful for people with old gcc and new CPU :))
- removed -fomit-frame-pointer from OPTFLAGS at config.mak
- version number incremented [Gabucino]
- odivx encoder fix: allow long (longer than xxxx.avi) destination filenames
(sizeof() changed to strlen()...) [Gabucino]
- AVI writer - overwrite disabled (exits with error message if destination
file already exists...) [Gabucino]
- use -divxq to set encoding bitrate (in bits (not kbits!) default: 780000)
- no audio decoding if -encode option is used
- audio streaming disabled if -nosound specified (setting audio_id to -2)
- fast MPEG-ES detection (doesn't read the whole MPEG-PS file)
- compile-time option to disable using soundcard driver's select()
(required for some people with buggy/pre-alpha/etc sound driver...)
MPlayer v0.11-pre11: Jan 29, 2001
streaming fixes, ASF support pre, indeo5 fix
- asf/asfinfo.c improved: now dumps streams to files - needs testing!
(it's ready to be converted to ASF demuxer and integrated into MPlayer)
- stream.c / stream_reset() fix: now really seeks back to position 0!
- ASF file format detection added (no ASF reading yet!!!)
- ASF demultiplexer added, changes in demuxer.c to handle fragmented packets
> it plays ASF video well, but still has problems with DivX/WMA audio. :(((
- indeo 5 playing fixed (removed ICDECOMPRESS_UPDATE from flags)
- xmga resizing problems with some window managers, so default order is
changed xmga,xma... to mga,xmga,...
- found gcc bug: compiling MPlayer with flags
OPTFLAGS=-O -g -march=i686 -mcpu=i686 -pipe -fomit-frame-pointer -ffast-math
causes image sizes negating -> mga_vid kernel driver Oops... :(((
- runaway.bride.sample.avi seeking segfault discovered: AC3 resync fails :(
- improved signal handling: module name is now printed. audio_resync added.
- RGB opendivx encoding implemented, now AVI->opendivx is possible.
MPlayer v0.11-pre10: Jan 22, 2001
OpenDivX encoding, streaming fixes, AVI seek fixes
- new libvo driver: odivx (OpenDivX File Writer)

mplayer file1.mpg -encode file2.avi -o odivx -nosound
(sound encoding/copying is not yet supported)
- libvo: default driver priority changed to: xmga,mga,syncfb,3dfx,xv,x11,gl
- AVI writer: index support
- small fixes in AVI writer to be compliant (adjusted chunk/list lengths)
- demuxer.c: stream buffering fixes:
- missing {} in mplayer.c occurring audio reads when has_audio=0
- reordered packet reader and pack count checks -> no more unwanted EOF
- added 4MB buffer memory usage limit to demuxed streams
- CPU flags in ./configure changed:
k7 -> k6 (current stable gcc doesn't support k7)
386,486 -> i386,i486 [Balazs Tibor]
- demux_avi: index check now accepts (raw.len+1)==idx.len [Balazs Tibor]
- FAQ added
** Now we are done with planned features & urgent fixes, **
** it's time for final testing and then the 0.11 release!! **
MPlayer v0.11-pre9: Jan 18, 2001
OpenDivX fixes,speedup
- solved OpenDivX width problem (stride=width+(Quality?0:64))
now -divxq 0 works, and 0 is the default
- libvo call moved out from my_convert_yuv() so it can be measured (CPU %)
- IDCT code ported from libmpeg2 -> much faster OpenDivX decoding
MPlayer v0.11-pre8: Jan 18, 2001
SDL fixes, OpenDivX support
- added -I/usr/X11R6/include to libvo CFLAGS
- (removed later: applied libvo SDL driver fixes by Jeffrey Boser)
- OpenDivX support, initial hack, maybe not working for you...
(I need testfiles, I have only one)
use -divxq option to adjust quality (1..29 works), 1=default
MPlayer v0.11-pre7: Jan 14, 2001
SDL support
- ported SDL driver from mpeg2dec/libvo (current CVS)
(it's slower than internal X11 driver, but supports software scaling!)
- fixed SDL driver to support -fs and pass keyboard events
- SDL driver changed to support YV12 and YUY2 formats instead of IYUV
(now works with DivX files, too)
- 'q' (Quit) disabled in SDL fullscreen mode (because it's impossible
to restore screen before exiting so it gets into an unusable state now)
MPlayer v0.11-pre6: Jan 14, 2001
audio fix
- fixed video_out_xv.c compilation problems [bugreport: Kalle Mellerup]
- modified audio playing: always keep buffer (both internal and card's)
filled using select() -> -alsa audio delays should be fixed.
- updated DOCS/AUTHORS and DOCS/README
MPlayer v0.11-pre5: Jan 12, 2001
xmmp audio support, applied Pontscho's libvo patch
- xmmp audio driver support by Arthur Kleer
- new video_out driver by Pontscho: xmga (Matrox G200/G400 only!)
It does same under X 3.3.x what Xv extension does under X 4.0.x!
(you will have a moveable/resizeable window but see a YUV video
overlay in it using color keying)
- added keyboard event support in X11 windows [Pontscho]
(using mplayer_[put|get]_key() in codecctrl.c)
MPlayer v0.11-pre4: Jan 6, 2001
x11 driver fixes, 15/16bpp support
- version in version.h fixed :))) [Pontscho]
- inttypes.h moved to DOCS/ (copy back to the root if you need it)
- depth calculation in vo_init() changed (Pontscho's version couldn't
differenciate between 15 and 16bpp)
- x11 driver now uses vo_init() instead of get_depth()
- yuv2mmx: 15bpp not really supported -> removed from list, now
conversion is done (well) by the C code -> MPEG play in 15bpp works!
- AVI playing support added in 15bpp (memcpy)
- AVI playing support added in 16bpp (C 15->16 converter by me)
- AVI playing support added in 16bpp (MMX 15->16 converter by Strepto)
- libvo/x11: yuv2rgb used MMX code on non-MMX CPUs, too!!! fixed...
- all x11 modes tested (and MPEG/24bpp byteorder fixed):
MPEG: AVI/VfW:
15bpp C convert memcpy
16bpp MMX/C convert MMX/C convert
24bpp C convert memcpy
32bpp MMX/C convert memcpy / C conv.
=> now all the movie types are viewable using the -o x11 driver!
MPlayer v0.11-pre3: Jan 5, 2001
MPEG fixes, fullscreen support
- vertical.mpg serious libvo (x11,gl) segfaults fixed:
yuv2rgb_mmx requires one more lines that vertical image size...
fixed (allocating memory for width*(height+1)). [bug report: Gabucino]
- Pontscho's fullscreen patch applied!
Using option -fs will maximize window size (for all resizeable drivers
including mga!) and disable window decorations (x11,Xv,gl only)
- simple inttypes.h included for libc5 (and glibc2.0, too?) users
- homepage updates (links changed ftp->http)
MPlayer v0.11-pre2: Jan 4, 2001
better user messages, MP3 codec selection, demuxer changes
- w32codec.zip restored at the FTP site (somehow it got damaged...)
- added version.h, and used its content everywhere
- 'premature end-of-file' problem fixed: freeing audio buffers and
setting d_audio->id=-2 if has_audio==0 [bugreport by Dmitri Pogosyan]
- some more messages added if verbose>=1
- demuxer.c: error message printed if A or V chunk buffer is full
'mplayer test.avi -aid -2' still not works without option '-nosound'
- adding new config.h option to set default MP3 audio codec (mpg123/l3codeca)
./configure selects mp3lib only if you have 3DNow! [idea: Gabucino]
- automatic fallback to mp3lib/mpg123 if l3codeca.acm can't be loaded/inited
MPlayer v0.11-pre1:
AVI sync fixes
- AVI audio seeking improvements: now using nBlockAlign value to seek
inside the chunk, so DivX audio works without big delays!!!
- AVI PTS calculation modified: counting video PTS when skip_video_frames>0
so new audio PTS values will be correct. Solved many sync probs!
- A-V sync with AVI files fixed!
Now only the Desperado-trailer has 1.0 sec delay after seeking.
- fixed AVI sync in -bps mode, too! :) (perfect except that Desperado AVI)
MPlayer v0.10: Jan 1, 2001 "The new year" release!
- testing
- docs changed
- it's time to release and remove the old buggy 0.09 version...
- release!!!
MPlayer v0.10-pre8: libvo/x11 changes
- libvo: x11/xv driver split into x11 and xv drivers
- libvo: DUMMY_VO_FUNC removed from driver sources
- libvo: default driver order changed, because some users with software-only
OpenGL thought that this 'slow' player can only play at 1-3fps :)
MPlayer v0.10-pre7: Dec 31, 2000
libmpeg2 interface changes, display size/area changes, AVI fixes
- libmpeg2/decode.c modified:
- removed unused OMS and mpeg2dec stuff
- decode_data rewritten, now works like parse_es.c
=> doesn't copy any data -> faster and less memory usage
- mplayer.c sends code 0x1FF after every frame, so libmpeg2 knows
when to display it
- mplayer.c: in_frame flag fixes, didn't work well with MPEG2 streams
(because there is a 0x1B2 chunk between 0x100 and 0x101)
- 'picture' changed from static to shmem-allocated
-> better picture after codec restart (tested with JapAd.mpg)
-> keep information of the header changes (after init)
- MPEG image size changed, now only the real part of frame is displayed
(no more green stripe at the bottom)
- picture struct: new fields: display_picture_width/height
- image buffer allocation (shmem) is done by decode.c instead of libvo
- new option: -xy <value> (resize both x/y direction)
if value<=8 -> x_scale = y_scale = value
else -> x_size=value y_size=aspectratio*x_size
- mplayer.c: video output moved out from AVI/MPG init sections and
now it's common code (added movie_size_x/y variables and out_fmt global)
- new keys:
ESC => quit
+ and - => adjust audio delay +- 0.1 second
k => kill/restart the MPEG codec process (for testing)
- codec control interface changed: wait for syncword after (re)start
to avoid receiving old frames => it's stable again!
- removed (now unused) allocate/free image buffer code from libvo
- mplayer: new internal variable for video format: has_video
0 = none (unused yet)
1 = MPEG 1/2 video
2 = Win32/VfW video codec
- config.h has defaults for bps-based AVI sync and ALSA timer code options:
#undef AVI_SYNC_BPS => now it's disabled by default!!! use -bps to enable
#define ALSA_TIMER => now it's enabled by default!!! use -noalsa to dis.
- help updated
- prints max compressed framesize at exit (both AVI & MPEG)
- AVI audio seeking fixed: some ACM codecs (DivX audio and ms-adpcm)
can't seek inside a chunk, they are only able to play whole chunks.
Current audio seeking has changed to seek inside the chunk only if the
codec supports it (only internal codecs and ACM/MP3 allows it).
- AVI: audio delay correction if seeking inside the chunk is not possible
MPlayer v0.10-pre6: Dec 24, 2000 "Xmas edition"
MPEG signal & EOF fixes
- ./configure: k6_mtrr (2.4.test11+) added [Pontscho]
- `term destroys if mplayer (MPG) called from mc.ext` bug fixed:
added sighandler to the 3rd process (MPEG codec) to avoid sig. recursion
- better output at exit (handled now by exit_player())
- MPEG EOF problem (codec restart) fixed: added EOF detection to parse_es.c
- internal flag 'current_module' added to get more info at segfaults
(contains module number where the segfault occurred)
- audio detection changed: using afm=4 (Win32/ACM) for MP3 audio (AVI files)
(you MUST have l3codeca.acm at /usr/lib/win32, or you have to use '-afm 1')
MPlayer v0.10-pre5: Dec 22, 2000
flipping fixed
- AVI image flipping reworked:
- new flag: avi_header.flipped, TRUE if upside-down
- image flipping code removed/disabled from libvo modules
- duplicate flip_page() calls removed (overload with x11 and mga)
- aLaw audio codec (AVI id 0x06) added (uses code from XAnim source)
MPlayer v0.10-pre4: ???
test release, small fixes
- video_out driver <-> codec incompatibility message changed
- fixed the config.format bug in drivers/mga_vid_test, so it works again!
[thanks to David Whysong]
- libmpeg2 upgraded
MPlayer v0.10-pre3: Dec 10, 2000
test release, verbose mode, new docs
- new option: -v = increment verbosity level
(debug printf's changed to verbose level-dependent)
- default level: 0, only some informal output
- init debug: 1, some basic debug infos, AVI header, function values
- player debug: 2, print AVI indexes, chunk inputs, more debug infos
- parser debug: 3, prints everything related to input parsers
to increment verbose level, use multiple -v options (-v -v -v for level 3)
- bitrate calculation for AVI files
- README rewritten, added Troubleshooting and Bugreports sections
- TVout directory added (only the scripts)
MPlayer v0.10-pre2: Dec 8, 2000
bugfix test release, bps-sync enabled
- AVI: supporting both 0-based and movi-based index types (autodetect)
- AVI: tested with VBR audio: plays well with -mc 0 option, seek doesn't
work yet [thanks to Alan Chen for testfile]
- AVI: A-V sync to avg. byte/sec implemented (again) and enabled by default
(disable with -nobps if you want)
- ./configire: 3rd name ('kni') of the P3 added. Where is the compatibility?
- useless '\' removed from libac3/Makefile [Otvos Ferenc]
MPlayer v0.10-pre1: Dec 5, 2000
test release, players merged!!!
- avip and mpegp have been merged to a single binary called 'mplayer'
- file type detection (AVI/MPEG-PS/MPEG-ES/Other)
- no redundant code (common code for common jobs)
- big format-dependent codes moved to functions (separated files)
- better error messages, removed some debug stuff, code cleanups
- old libmpeg2 version removed from source tree
- help texts merged (help_avi+help_mpg -> help_mp)
- new options: -x <x> -y <y> = scale image (if selected driver supports)
if value<=8 then image size will be multiplied by value, otherwise
image size will be scaled to <value> pixels.
For example:
2x ZOOM: mplayer -x 2 -y 2 test.mpg
800x600: mplayer -x 800 -y 600 test.mpg
[default values are still configurable at compile-time, see config.h]
- TV project (not finished) codebase added (see tvision.c, or: make tvision)
MPlayer v0.09: Dec 5, 2000
Beta release [same as 0.09-pre3]
- version changed in the files
- docs updated
MPlayer v0.09-pre3: Dec 3, 2000
bugfix test-release, X11 support testing
- fixed the if [ -z $pparam ] bug in ./configure [Christian Birchinger]
- many changes in AVI seek code, resulting in near-perfect seeking now!
current method calculates absolute audio position, so with VBR audio it
doesn't work yet...
- avip: Xv support (YUY2 image format)
- avip: X11 support (24 & 32 bpp only, BGR format)
I need a very fast 15->16bpp converter for 16bpp support... anyone helps?
MPlayer v0.09-pre2:
bugfix test-release
- removed unnecessary code from libmpeg2/header.c
Walken told me that standard MPG/VOB streams must NOT use framerate
and bitrate extension... and the ext. id check is done by the caller.
- CRC support to mp3lib's MPEG audio layer-2 decoder
thanks for bug report & test file to Samson
MPlayer v0.09-pre1: Dec 1, 2000
bugfix test-release
- imported new libmpeg2 files (under testing...)
- GL renderer flickering bug fixed (MMX missing emms() between yuv2rgb and
glTexSubImage(), bug triggered by new Utah-GLX code)
[thanks to Christian Birchinger]
MPlayer v0.08: Nov 27, 2000
Index support, AVI seeking, DLL loader fix, compilation fixes
- Added support for chunk index usage (disable with -noidx option)
- Removed code optimization flags from loader/Makefile because
it segfaults if compiled optimized (it does some hacks with
pointers, maybe the reordered code confuses it)
- added new tool called aviparse (read and check AVI file structure)
- indexed and raw chunk info comparing, bad chunks dropped
- termcap usage is optional (for those Debian users without termcap)
- #if HAVE_* fixed (to #ifdef HAVE_*)
- ./configure supports new /proc/cpuinfo (2.4.0-test11)
- sse is called 'sse' again
- 'flags' field renamed to 'features'
- Xv benchmark results added to DOCS/SPEED
- AVI seeking (and other goodies, pause etc) implemented
no PTS resync after seek yet.
- default video_out driver changed from 'mga' to the first available driver
new driver priority: mga_vid, opengl, x11
MPlayer v0.07: Nov 21, 2000
Easier compile
- Added Pontscho's ./configure script (it's modified a lot)
- Updated makefiles, and tested a lot :)
- Updated DOCS/INSTALL
MPlayer v0.06: Nov 20, 2000
Better codec selection
- AVI audio&video codec selection moved to new codecs.c file,
loader/driver.c and loader/afl.c modified for this
- YUV support fixed, codecs.c setup flags to handle YUV properly
YUV works fine with DivX, MPEG4, cvid, and upside-down iv50
- DOCS/INSTALL updated
- DOCS/SPEED updated, DivX benchmarks added
MPlayer v0.05: Nov 18, 2000
Merged with MPEGplayer 0.90pre6, first public release of AVI player
- code merged with mpegplayer, new Makefile, some small modifications
- docs updated and moved to DOCS

mpg12play v0.9-v0.95pre5: Oct 21-Nov 2, 2000
MPEG codec was libmpeg2 (mpeg2dec) by Aaron Holtzman & Michel
Lespinasse. It's great, optimized very fast C code with perfect
image quality and 100% MPEG standard conformance.
mpg12play v0.5-v0.87: Sep 28-Oct 20, 2000
MPEG codec replaced with DVDview by Dirk Farin, it was great
stuff, but it was slow and was written in C++ (I hate C++!!!)
mpg12play v0.1-v0.3: Sep 22-25, 2000
The first try, hacked together in half an hour! I've used libmpeg3
from www.heroinewarrior.com up to the version 0.3, but there were
image quality and speed problems with it.
