mplayer

mplayer is my multimedia player of choice.

• mplayer helper scripts

Playing Blu-Rays (unencrypted)

mplayer br:// -bluray-device /path/to/disc

Send audio through the SPDIF device to the audio receiver

mplayer movie.mkv -ao alsa:device=spdif -ac hwac3

For movies with the wrong aspect (PAL), that should be flat but show up in 4/3 try this:

mplayer airborne.vob -monitoraspect 1.00

That should straighten it out. :)

Also, sometimes mplayer dvd: will play them correctly. === archives: ~/.mplayer/config === <code> # * Please leave notes as to reasons for each config # # MythVideo does *not* call any profiles by default. # Default player setting is: mplayer-resume –filename # * DEFAULTS * # Testing VDPAU by default vo=vdpau display=:0 # This will also use “mplayer.conf” in current working directory use-filedir-conf=1 # Could try cache-min x% instead cache=24576 fontconfig=1 fs=1 # Make sure to unmute “IEC598 1” in alsamixer ao=alsa:device=hdmi ac=hwac3,hwdts, # * PROFILES: IN USE * # Redundant [hdmi] ao=alsa:device=hdmi # TODO: Experiment with -vf crop exact measures [panscan] panscan=1 aspect=4:3 [spdif] ao=alsa:device=spdif ac=hwac3,hwdts, # All my wishlist features have been ported to LAVF demuxer.
