Back 2 mplayer: AreWeThereYet

当年养成的坏习惯，我机器里面总是同时存在若干个不同的播放器，我也并不太在意配置每个播放器，基本上只要拿到一个文件能有一个播放器能打开，我也就勉强算是过去了

但是这种得过且过的日子总是没有办法长久的，今天又遇到一个文件，mpc直接跳codec窗口，wmp只有音频，至于那个被很多人推崇的垃圾软件kmp就更离谱了，声音正常播放，画面3-4倍速快放，同时整个系统失去反应。mplayer算是还好，可以正常播放，不过没法显示mkv字幕-----因为我没做过那个配置...

一犯懒，就想去找找有没有新版的mplayer，结果发现mplayer除了一版正式更新，这可是大事，自从被版权组织搞了以后，貌似mplayer一直都是半地下状态，虽然代码还在更新，但是很少作任何的“发布”，一般都是几个人自己down了source下来编译好了，发布一个非官方的个人编译版。这次mplayer居然正式的发布了一个新版，当然是要弄来看看。

release note 上的东西写了不少，也没功夫一个一个看，从目前试用的感觉，最直观的印象是本版加强了GUI。以前官方版本貌似都不太重视GUI,基本是留给一些第三方小团体自己去作，mplayer项目本身更多的还是集中在codec,Demuxer,render这类比较扎实的功能上（这一点和kmp这种小破组织完全不一样），界面方面不管是形式上还是内容上都是力求简洁，可以说每个功能都非常实用，能精简的就一定精简。这个版本可以说是大改，界面复杂了不少，也开始提供让人看了眼花缭乱的菜单-----这对我这种懒得记快捷键的人来说是个好事。

至于功能嘛，还是一如既往的强大，那个刚才挺恶心人的mkv文件直接被拿下。可惜手边没有其他的恶心文件，以后有机会找几个试试。

2007-10-07, Sunday :: MPlayer 1.0rc2 released
posted by the release team

It's been a while, but we are still around and have decided that it's time to funnel our steady stream of daily changes into a release again.

One main source of improvements has, as always, been FFmpeg, which added support for several new video and audio codecs along with speedups and massive code cleanups.

MPlayer now supports Real RTSP authentication and the libnemesi streaming library as an alternative to live555. Also, many QuickTime over RTSP streams can now be played. There have been various improvements to TV streaming, Intel Mac support should be complete.

Support for VC-1 in MPEG-TS and MPEG-PS will make many HDTV streams work. Blu-ray or HD-DVD playback is not possible yet, but MPlayer can play the EVO files after they have been decrypted.

MPlayer now assumes square pixels as found on LCD panels. If the video on your monitor appears squished or stretched please use '-monitoraspect 4:3' to get back the previous behavior.

It is no longer necessary to patch the sources to get AMR audio support. Instead, download AMR libraries for Linux and install them as described on that page.

Note that this release will not compile on current (as of this writing) Cygwin versions due to a missing llrint implementation in Cygwin. You will have to wait for the next gcc upgrade in Cygwin or patch either Cygwin or MPlayer locally.

There is no need to download binary codec packages if you already have an older version.
