Hi

I'm trying to change the left / right arrow seek time, because 10 seconds is too much when you've just missed the last word of a subtitle.

I've tried setting ~/.mplayer/input.conf as suggested online:

RIGHT seek 1
LEFT seek -1

If I call the mplayer binary from the commandline it works, but Mplayer OSX Extended won't pick it up.
I added -v to the advanced options and looked at the logs: it seems it's trying to open /usr/local/etc/mplayer/input.conf
But even adding that, and seeing input.conf parsed: 2 binds in the logs, it still won't work.

So it seems Mplayer OSX Extended has its own bindings, independent from mplayer's ones.

That's well and good, but can we please have a setting for the seek time? Even a single multiplier to apply to all six seek times would be great.

If you put a video into fullscreen in Lion, go to another desktop, mouse over the dock, swipe back to the desktop MOE is running in and quickly move the mouse off the dock during the transition animation (before the MOE instance is given back focus) the dock will remain in view indefinitely, with the name of the icon the mouse was over still visible. From here, you must mouse over the dock and off it again to hide it.

My dock is set to not autohide and is on the right, not sure if that makes a difference.

Does MPlayer OSX Extended support VDA?

Mplayer lead to mplayer2, and now that has been succeeded by mpv. As development marches onward, I like to keep (relatively) up with it.

There are a number of changes that have been made. What kind of work would need to be done to support those?

Weird image when playing mkv/mp4 files in rev15-test2 (1502)

Problem description:
Strange colors appears (instead of normal image) when playing any .mkv video, i think is container independent since the same happens when playing any .mp4 file, which make me think that it will happen to any h264-like video; however i don't have a sample coded with proprietary h264 tools, only some coded using x264.

Logs: OSX console shows nothing important so far.
Video characteristics: The report was generated using VideoSpec
Sample file for reproducing the error: I uploaded it to Google Drive
My PC characteristics: iMac 4.1 w/Intel Core Duo + ATi Radeon x1600 + OSX 10.6.8

Looks like this on rev15-test2 (1502):

Played correctly on rev15-test1 (1501)

Mplayer OSX Extended is the only OSX Video player I have found that plays h264 video files from my security cameras (*.dav files).

If I add a bunch of recording clips (10m segments) to a playlist and set it to play through it automatically I have to reset Playback Speed settings for each file.. Since I may be trying to find an event in a several hour window I need to review the files with a high playback speed.

It would be great if the Playback Settings in the inspector window would not reset upon the next file in a playlist.

hi -

looking forward to trying out the new test version. is there a build of it somewhere? i don't know how to use Xcode to build it myself... thanks!

I understand that videos can be flipped horizontally and vertically but are there such options to rotate a video by 90/180/270 degrees?

Hi,

I am trying to get DTS passthrough on my amp with MPlayer OSX Extended but it does not work. Tried commands -ac hwdts etc but I get this error (It should be noted that AC-3 Passthroguh works fine).

Dec 5 00:06:27 Munish-Awestis-MacBook-Pro.local MPlayer OSX[41124] : Audio: no sound

DTS passthrough works with Niceplayer and VLC but not MPlayer so I am sure it is a setting that I am missing. I prefer to use Mplayer as it takes advantage of 64 bit processing giving smoother playback. Niceplayer although very good does not support 64 bit so struggles a little with 1080p.

Any help here will be greatly appreciated!

It's a basic and convenient feature. It would be nice if MPlayer-OSX-Extended had it.
Sorry if it's inappropriate for this issue tracker.

When I updated to OS X 10.9, I decided to update to Rev 15 from Rev 14.

Rev 14 works great.
Rev 15 never starts playing a movie when I open a movie file.
I tried file open, apple+open, drag it into the playlist and play, and double click on the movie file to auto load the player.

How to reproduce:

1. Open Mplayer OSX Extended
2. Open a movie file
3. Press play (if auto play isn't already occurring)
4. It temporarily shows the movie file name on the "MPlayer OSX Extended" window.
5. The video and audio never start.
6. The file name is not longer on the window, as if the movie had finished.
   Pressing play again repeats steps 3 through 6.

During step 4, it spawns "mplayer" processes, which quickly die.

So this is a cool program... but I can't get the audio in sync with the video. Video is way ahead, audio behind.

I way to adjust the sync would be a cool feature... both bring the audio up or down from where it plays would be best.

I have the mplayer-devel MacPorts package installed, and I keep it up-to-date. The version of MPlayer shipped as a part of MPlayer OSX Extended is significantly older than the version I have in /opt/local/bin, and is lacking several features (most notably accurate handling of 10-bit video) that MPlayer OSX Extended could benefit from.

To this end, I produced a mpBinaries bundle that contains a symlink to /opt/local/bin/mplayer rather than an actual binary. I've been using it for a couple of months now with no noticeable issues, but the whole bundle is kind of a horrible hack.

It would be nice, therefore, if MPlayer OSX Extended could detect MacPorts/Homebrew/Fink/source installs of regular ol' mplayer and provide a less hacky method for users to select them.

Steps to reproduce:

1. Open a movie
2. Close the movie window
3. Open File: Open Recent: Clear Menu
4. Secondary–Click on the Dock icon

The recent items video menu in the Dock menu is still populated with the most recently watched videos. I expect it to be cleared when clearing the Recent Items menu.

Thank you so much for your wonderful, wonderful work on MPlayer OSX Extended! The only media player on OS X with a good, simple UI, sane shortcuts, simple configuration and good performance :) I've been using it for years now!

Unfortunately, ever since the rev15 update, I've been having problems… That is, I always get a "Playback Error" upon quitting — which would be manageable — and upon starting to play a different video while the previous video is still playing.

I've reinstalled the app (and removed all caches and preferences. I've redownloaded it from the website… only to be faced with the exact same problem again.

I'm a programmer, but to solve this, I think one needs mplayer knowledge. I'd appreciate it if you could give me pointers towards solving this problem. I'll help if I can.

I'm on OS X 10.8.5, on an Early 2009 17" MacBook Pro. Here's a log of the crash, where I did the following things:

1. Open a video file, which automatically launches MPLayer OSX Extended.
2. Let it play for a second or two.
3. Quit it.

Upon quitting, the crash occurs.

After sttz left the project abandoned, Hermi took over and made a fork of it by adding numerous patches and fixes.

Now that MPlayer OSX Extended seems to be back I believe it would be great to integrate all these new functions over the new one.

Hermi's website: https://sites.google.com/site/hermihg/

i am using rev15, it doesn't load srt with "eng" in front of the .srt... it can only works with movie.srt

i am using movie.eng.srt as i have multiple srt in a folder.

any advise?

Add to playlist ... not menu item not working (does nothing) in rev15test1 and latest git.

Worked in rev14

no issues opening and playing video files. but when I attempt to enable the video equalizer, (to adjust the brightness) the video stops playing and will no longer play. i have to disable the equalizer for video playback to function normally again. this is affecting any multiple videos i attempted to test, most of them .avi files

is it possible to build in some on the fly remuxing from DTS to ac3? like ac3 filter for windows. and is it possible to make the ac3/dts track volume changeable? :)

chris

Open a video in causes a video to open oddly in rev15-test2. It is especially noticeable with videos with smaller resolution. The video seem to became squashed and vertical before reverting to the correct size.
This only happens if MPlayer osx is not already open. See the video for details

This did not happen in rev15-test1 or in e736ac1 so it must be a recent bug

https://dl.dropbox.com/u/6818584/resizing_issue.mp4

It would be really, really nice if MPlayer OSX Extended could be set to default to open files in a new instance of the player if another file is currently open. I habitually leave long-form videos paused and the program hidden for long stretches of time, and if I open another video while this is the case, I lose my progress, which sucks. I could create a new instance and ensure it's in focus before I hide it, but that's not really addressing the core of the issue.

Hello,

First off all great job on mplayer osx extended! it is my favorite movie player! I tried customizing some code to be able to position the subtitles and found that mplayer itself has the option -subpos for it. I added it to the params object but when i try it out.. they still appear on the same position. I know this might be an issue with mplayer osx but i want to make sure that you guys don't overwrite this setting or anything. I also tried to combine it with -subalign. Then I took a shot at -vf expand and found out that this option also doesn't do what it supposed to do that is expanding the frame. (tried expanding the resolution to put subtitles in the black bars).

just experimenting here. I just want to have the option in preferences to put the subtitles a little bit higher cause when i connect to a television the lower line is cut off. I successfully added this feature in code but as I mentioned it doesn't seem to work.
Any help will gladly be appreciated. when it's done i'll send the changed files to you so you can/can not (whatever you like) integrate it for real on the project.

thank you,
sanders

as per subject. '>' plays the next file, and you would expect (as per standard mplayer config) '<' to go back to play the previous file. Instead, MPlayer-OSX-Extended has no response to '<'.

It just displays the runtime of the entire video statically.

Rev 15 1511

I'm using Jubler as a subtitling tool. When I try to see a movie .mov format the sound go veeeery slow, so I can't not use it at all.
Somebody told me that it was probably some sort of trouble with MPlayer
I can only use the "Try subtitles from current position" key to see the images and hear the sound at a normal speed.
Can I only watch imatges on .jpg format?
What can I do to be able to work with images with .mov format?

Thank you

Hello!
I'd like to report a bug.

Steps to reproduce:

1. Download mkv from
   http://www.ggkthx.org/2012/04/2011-animator-training-project-14-buta/
2. Start playing it and seek to about 00:02:48
3. Notice annoying flickering on girl's hair (at the bottom near subtitle)

System info:
macbook pro with intel HD3000 video, OS X 10.7.3 and 10.6.8
Mplayer version: rev14 and 15-test1 (downloaded from google code)

Basically, my issue (I'm personally running OS X Lion v10.9.1) is the same as discussed on this SuperUser thread:

http://superuser.com/questions/371892/osx-assign-extension-to-content-kind

To quote from the poster: "The question: how to tell the system that all *.mkv file should be treated as ‘Media’ (or ‘Videos’, or whatever the name of the file kind group for video files)?" That is to say, all .mkv files are currently treated under the heading of "Other" for me, which is rather annoying when trying to group and display files in my folders.

The actual thread goes on to dissect the exact issue(s) involved (and how to do some workarounds), so I believe that an actual fix for the MPlayer OSX Extended could be generated without much trouble.

Could you please explain how to use this version of Mplayer with the commandline. I don't seem to be able to find the Mplayer unix executable that is referenced in manuals of the previous versions. Thanks!

Hello Adrian (and anyone reading)!

Lately I'm working a bit on mplayer2 and vo_corevideo. I am realizing the shared_buffer code is going to hold back further developments of the code not using shared buffer. I'm thinking about extracting the shared buffer code in a different video output (let's say vo_mmap) and keep evolving the real corevideo code.

In this transition I would like to keep compatibility with MPlayer OSX Extended, so I was thinking about adding a new field to the plist in the .mpBinaries bundle to give a hint of which video output it should use.

Are you in general ok with this kind of approach? If you are busy I could prepare the patch to the gui myself (maybe I will need a few pointers to the code).

Thank you!

I'm running MPlayer rev 15 (r36986) on a Macboox Pro (Mavericks).
When starting up MPlayer via double-clicking on a video file, the window does not open using the videos aspect ratio, instead opens the window in a square window, showing black bars on top and bottom.
When MPlayer is already running, starting any video again the same way by double clicking, the window size is adjusted correctly to the videos aspect ratio without black bars.
The correct behaviour was implemented in rev 14.

Any chance to fix this?
Thanks

Very annoying, but the problem goes away if the disabled call to CGDisplayShowCursor(kCGDirectMainDisplay) in -[PlayerFullScreenWindow setFullScreen:] is uncommented.

Is it possible to add a remote support, so MPE can be easily controlled by an Android phone? (and I can develop that app...)
Maybe initially you can add just few things, like play/pause/next/prev and volume...
I think that a feature like this can increase MPE audience and interest ;-)

When I change to a different subtitle the picture often freezes and doesn't refresh until I try to seek or pause/play to get it to refresh. This sometimes happens when I change the audio track as well.

Since the recent update (rev15-test2) MPEG2- and VOB-video's that originally have an 16:9 aspect ratio are played now in a 4:3 aspect ratio. Video's with an 4:3 aspect ratio are somewhat stretched out.
Also some MPEG2's and VOB's can't be played anymore. All you see is black and coloured pixels.
I downgraded to rev15-test1. Everything works fine again, apart from the static beep that has always been there with MPlayer OSX Extended in the last second of some MPEG2's and VOB's I played.

I'm on a 10.6.8 intel iMac

in 1503 when I enable fullscreen mode (always on top is not enabled) the player "window" (now desktop-sized) moves under all the other windows. so, chrome etc. pops up while video starts playing in the background.

osx 10.9

while in fullscreen mode (window now in the foreground) seeking with arrow keys pushes the window back again.

Hope to see A-B repeat support integrated in MPlayer OSX Extended in the near future. Thanks for the awesome media player.

When I change from one audio track to another, the volume value is not correct. For example, I change from the English track to the Japanese track and the volume is quieter than it should be. I can confirm this by merely touch the volume slider which causes the volume level to immediately go to it's correct value. I suspect the volume value is being set to some sort of default regardless of the position of that the slider is in (until you re-touch the slider).
The down-side to this is it causes a sudden jump up or down in volume whenever you attempt to adjust the volume slider after a audio track change.

running from Terminal with the following command on Snow Leopard server (after running ifconfig):
MPlayer OSX Extended.app/Contents/MacOS/MPlayer\ OSX\ Extended -udp-master -udp-ip 10.0.1.255 somevideo.mp4

and this on Macbook Pro (Lion):
MPlayer OSX Extended.app/Contents/MacOS/MPlayer\ OSX\ Extended -udp-slave somevideo.mp4

resulted in the video launching on the server, however, the client opened MPlayer with no file and did nothing. Both systems have somevideo.mp4 in place.

This page suggests it should work:

Is this a known issue?

Hi, I've noticed that trying to scale a video to "Normal Size" results in the video actually being scaled down slightly. I first noticed this when observing that some parts of a video that had fine lines and sharp edges that were appearing slightly blurry, probably due to the way OS X scales things.

An easy way to confirm this would be to open a video with a known resolution, take a screenshot of the player window, and open the screenshot in Preview. If the video is 1280x720, draw a selection box exactly that size, and try to get it to fit in the player window. The selection box won't fit, as the video in the player window is actually scaled down slightly, despite the player being set to Original/Normal Size. You can also open the video in another player, and compare the size of the video being displayed.

Here's the mplayer window on top of a QuickTime window with the same video: https://dl.dropbox.com/u/500548/mp/moq.png

Even with last build, 1501, I cannot start a extention-less file (like a temporary download) by simply drag-drop that file on the app icon. I have to go to File -> Open, change the filter and select that file.

Moreover, there is a bug with the "Show file" filter.
If I change the filter to "All files", MPlayer OSX Ext let me select files without extension. However the next time I click the open action, MP remembers that setting but it does not let me select unknown files.
It looks like the filter is still on "All known types" even if the selected label says "All files".

BTW, I love this player and his nice UI.

I've recently switched to using VLC for playing my movies, because MPlayer OSX Extended freezes way too frequently. When I was watching movies sized about 1 or 2 gb, there was no problem whatsoever. However, when switching to bluray rips, sizes anywhere between 2-8gb, the freezes started to occur. The movie stops for a while (can be 5 seconds, can be 5 minutes) and sometimes continue after some time, but more often, I have to quit mplayer and start watching again.

It's not my computer, I have a fast macbook pro, and the same movies work fine with vlc player.
When you need more info, let me know.

After rev15 update, sound was out of sync on all videos by about 200ms
Had to trash it, reloaded rev 14 --> It's back to normal.

Using File, Open VIDEO_TS, the mplayer binary is invoked as follows:

mplayer "dvd:////Users/jonas/Foo-Bar/VIDEO_TS" [...]

mplayer complains

invalid play entry dvd:////Users/jonas/Foo-Bar/VIDEO_TS

Applescript support would be a great addition to MPlayer OSX Extended, although it might take a bit of work to implement.

There's some basic documentation on the Apple dev site: https://developer.apple.com/library/mac/samplecode/SimpleScripting/Introduction/Intro.html

Besides being able to control media playback, it would be nice to be able to script it to open URLs or add things to the playlist. It would also be nice to be able to read properties of the media being played, like bitrate, video/audio format, duration, resolution, etc. Similar to how QuickTime Player and VLC is able to be scripted.

When I have a (.mkv) movie file with two audio tracks in it, they will show up in the Movie > Audio submenu. Like in this example:

0: English
1: Commentary

There will by default be a check mark at the lower track (√ 1: Commentary) but it will be the unchecked upper track (0: English) that will be playing. So it is acutally playing the unchecked track and not the checked one as you'd expect.

If I want to change audio tracks I can't select the upper unchecked track (0:) becuase it is in fact the one that is playing even if it isn't the one that is checked. If I do, nothing happens. Instead I have to select the lower (:1) track which then loses it's check mark and starts playing instead of track 0:. Now the second track is playing while neither of them are checked in the menu.

If I then want to go back to the first track (0:) I have to select it after which track :1 becomes selected while track :0 begins playing.

If it all sounds a bit confusing it's because it is. :)

Anyways, thought I'd bring attention to this bug. Seems like it is a simple matter of check mark mix up. So hope it is easy to fix.

Thanks for the app. It's is by far the best player for movies on Mac OS X. :) Very slick!

Best, Jeppe

(same as bug #367 on the old tracker)

rev 15 test 1 has the same large increase in CPU usage that was introduced in rev 14 test 3.

A quick test shows, for example, HD videos in avi and wmv formats taking roughly 30% more cpu than rev 14 test 2 (and earlier versions). Playing the same video in VLC takes roughly the same CPU as rev 14 test 2.

Settings for "optimise by degrading quality" or "drop frames" (or not) don't seem to have any effect on the difference between the versions.

So far I've not been able to upgrade past rev 14 test 2, as I'm unable to smoothly play many full-HD videos on my 2.4ghz core2 duo machine...

Audio track not switching using button on controller in fullscreen or using ⌥3

Version Affected

rev14 and rev15-test1

To reproduce

Open a mkv with multiple audio tracks where at lest one has the language undetermined

Details

This happen with many different mkv which multiple audio tracks. This seem to happens when any the track's language are undetermined

The output of mkvinfo of the first mkv (both audio tracks' language are undetermined).
