Mplayer configuration and bilingual subtitle settings

First write the mplayer configuration file :~ /. Mplayer/config

# Write your default config options here!
Joystick = no # Do not load control of game controllers
Fs = yes # Full Screen
Zoom = yes # Scaling supported
Subcp = cp936 # supports Chinese subtitles
Subfont-autoscale = 1 # subtitle SIZE ON SCREEN
# Subfont-text-scale = 3 # subtitle font size
Font =/usr/share/fonts/cjkuni-fonts/uming. ttf # select the font
Overlapsub = 1 # multi-language subtitles supported
Sub-fuzziness = 1 # Set automatic subtitle Loading Recognition
Osdlevel = 3 # display the corresponding time in the upper left corner of the screen.
Vf = expand =: 4/3: 2 # For a video at, subtitles can be placed in the black box below.

Save.

Automatic subtitle Loading
Sub-fuzziness has three values that can be set,

0: The subtitle name must be the same as the video name, for example, xxxx. avi and xxxx. srt.

1: indicates partial matching. The subtitle name can be automatically loaded if it fully contains the video name, for example, xxxx. avi, xxxx. chs. srt.

2: indicates that all subtitles in this directory will be loaded.

Bilingual subtitles
Overlapsub = 1 is used to load multi-language subtitles. The most common is Chinese and English subtitles. However, if you only put Chinese and English subtitles in the video directory, Chinese and English Subtitles do not appear at the same time, in this case, we need to combine two subtitles into one. It is very simple:

$ Cat xxxx. eng. srt xxxx. chs. srt> xxxx. srt
