KMPlayer, a simple frontend for MPlayer/FFMpeg/Xine.
|
||
|
|
It can play DVD/VCD movies, from file or url and from a video device.
|
||
|
|
If setup right, KMPlayer can embed inside konqueror. Which means if you click
|
||
|
|
on a movie file, the movie is played inside konqueror.
|
||
|
|
It can also embed inside khtml, enabling movie playback inside a html page.
|
||
|
|
Movie recording using mencoder (part of the mplayer package). No video during recording, but you can always open a new window and play it there.
|
||
|
|
Broadcasting, http streaming, by using ffserver/ffmpeg. For TV sources, you need v4lctl (part of the xawtv package).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
KMPlayer needs KDE3.1 and a working mplayer/mencoder somewhere in you PATH.
|
||
|
|
Additonally, for broadcasting, ffserver/ffmpeg/v4lctl also.
|
||
|
|
For DVD navigation Xine is used. MPlayer has broken dvdnav support. DVDNav is included in libxine and works fine.
|
||
|
|
Unless you reconfigure kmplayer, both mplayer and ffmpeg should be compiled with liblame for mp3.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Quickly installing MPlayer
|
||
|
|
Download the sources from http://www.mplayerhq.hu/homepage/.
|
||
|
|
If you want quicktime support, also download the quicktime dll's
|
||
|
|
(http://www.mplayerhq.hu/MPlayer/releases/codecs/qt6dlls.tar.bz2) and unpack
|
||
|
|
them and copy the files to /usr/lib/win32 (make this dir if it doesn't exist).
|
||
|
|
Or download the 'All in one' package and have even more codecs.
|
||
|
|
Untar the mplayer source package (tar xfj MPlayer-0.90.tar.bz2), change to
|
||
|
|
that directory. Make sure $KDEDIR/bin is in you path (check if you can run
|
||
|
|
'artsplay').
|
||
|
|
Now run configure (./configure) and make ('make'). Install it as root ('su -c "make install"').
|
||
|
|
Finally you must setup the config files in ~/.mplayer ('mkdir ~/.mplayer').
|
||
|
|
Copy the files, from the mplayer sources, etc/codecs.conf and etc/example.conf as codecs.conf and config resp
|
||
|
|
('cp etc/codecs.conf ~/.mplayer; cp etc/example.conf ~/.mplayer/config').
|
||
|
|
Next change ~/.mplayer/config with an editor and change the video driver (vo=xv) and audio driver (ao=arts) and remove the last line.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Quickly installing Xine
|
||
|
|
Download the sources for libxine (xine-lib-1-beta12.tar.gz) from http://xinehq.de. Unpack it (tar xfz xine-lib-1-beta12.tar.gz) and change to this directory (cd xine-lib-1-beta12). Now run configure (./configure) and make ('make'). Install it as root ('su -c "make install"').
|
||
|
|
Recommended, for encrypted DVDs, install libdvdcss from http://developers.videolan.org/libdvdcss too.
|
||
|
|
Xine can use the codecs for MPlayer in /usr/lib/win32, however it can't find
|
||
|
|
the real codecs in there. Eg run
|
||
|
|
$ strings /usr/local/lib/xine/plugins/1.0.0/xineplug_decode_real.so |grep drv
|
||
|
|
after installing to see where it looks for the Real codecs. Either copy or
|
||
|
|
symlink for Xine to find them.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Quickly installing ffmpeg/ffserver
|
||
|
|
Download the sources from http://ffmpeg.sourceforge.net/. If the current version is 0.4.6, I recommend using a more recent CVS snapshot because it uses less CPU when grabbing a TV device.
|
||
|
|
Untar the source package, run './configure --enable-mp3lame' and 'make'. Install as root 'su -c "make install"'.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
KMPlayer doesn't work with all the video drivers that mplayer supports.
|
||
|
|
I tested only xv (X Video Extension) and x11 (Image/Shm). If none work, you
|
||
|
|
might try the patch for the x11 driver and see if that works for you (not needed anymore for mplayer version >= 0.90-rc4).
|
||
|
|
You might need to change mimetype settings (Control Center | KDE Components | File Associations) to make sure KMPlayer (or 'Embedded MPlayer for KDE' in embedded tab) is set for all the formats you want to play with KMPlayer.
|
||
|
|
Also make sure in the 'Embedding' tab 'Show file in embedded viewer' is set.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
If you run an older versio of MPlayer (0.9x), set 'Post MPlayer 0.90=false' in
|
||
|
|
.kde/share/config/kmplayer.rc under group [MPlayer]. It will change some of the
|
||
|
|
mencoder arguments (for recording).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Enjoy!
