Mplayer compilation and Installation Guide (Fedora)

Mplayer is a super-powerful movie player in Linux. It can play almost all the video and audio files (at least until now, I have not encountered the following error :-)).

MPlayer-1.0pre7 compilation Installation Guide (via Fedora Core 4)

1. download and install the required files:

(1) Main Program:
Http://www1.mplayerhq.hu/MPlayer/releases/MPlayer-1.0pre7.tar.bz2
(2) font files:
Http://www1.mplayerhq.hu/MPlayer/releases/fonts/font-arial-iso-8859-1.tar.bz2
(3) skin files (GUI is supported, and other skin files can also be downloaded ):
Http://www1.mplayerhq.hu/MPlayer/Skin/plastic-1.2.tar.bz2
(4) Support for Avi and other W32 multimedia format plug-ins:
Http://www1.mplayerhq.hu/MPlayer/releases/codecs/win32codecs-20040703.tar.bz2
(5) supports multimedia plug-ins such as realplay (RM, Ram, etc:
Http://www1.mplayerhq.hu/MPlayer/releases/codecs/essential-20050412.tar.bz2

If it is too slow to download the above site, you can go to the sky network (http://e.pku.edu.cn/) search to download.
If you are only running in the console (text), you only need to download (1) (4) (5). If you want to use a graphical interface and support Chinese characters, you must download all the above five.

2. Upload the above five files to the main directory (of course, other directories can also be used) and decompress:

[Root @ localhost ~] # Tar-jxvf MPlayer-1.0pre7.tar.bz2
[Root @ localhost ~] # Tar-jxvf font-arial-iso-8859-1.tar.bz2
[Root @ localhost ~] # Tar-jxvf plastic-1.2.tar.bz2
[Root @ localhost ~] # Tar-jxvf win32codecs-20040703.tar.bz2
[Root @ localhost ~] # Tar-jxvf essential-20050412.tar.bz2

3. Copy the w32codec support library (win32codecs-20040703) and realplay support library (essential-20050412)

You must first execute this step, and note that if you have installed realplay8 or realplay9, you do not need to merge it into the support library of realplay, note the directory where configure is running.
[Root @ localhost ~] # Music win32codecs-20040703/usr/lib/Win32
[Root @ localhost ~] # Music Video essential-20050412/usr/lib/

4, enter the Mplayer-1.0pre7 directory and execute, note the parameters:

[Root @ localhost ~] # Cd MPlayer-1.0pre7
[Root @ localhost MPlayer-1.0pre7] #./configure -- enable-Gui -- cc = gcc32 -- With-reallibdir =/usr/lib/essential-20050412 -- language = zh_cn
(If the system does not have gcc3.2, you can use the -- disable-gcc-checking parameter, but we do not recommend this)

# Note: -- enable-Gui is an input tool that supports graphical interfaces. -- cc = gcc32 is compiled using gcc of version 3.2, -- With-reallibdir =/usr/lib/essential-20050412 is used to specify the directory of the realplay support library. If you have installed realplay 8, the option should be -- With-reallibdir =/usr/lib/realplay8/codecs. If you have installed realplay 9 (you can modify it as needed): -- With-reallibdir =/root/real/codecs, -- language = zh_cn is used to specify the font of mplayer as Chinese. Version 1.0 already supports RTSP streams, so you don't need to use -- enable-live.

5. Execute the following commands in sequence:
[Root @ localhost MPlayer-1.0pre7] # Make
[Root @ localhost MPlayer-1.0pre7] # make install

6. font of the token:
[Root @ localhost MPlayer-1.0pre7] # mv font-arial-iso-8859-1/font-arial-14-iso-8859-1/*/usr/local/share/mplayer/font/

7. merge into skin:
[Root @ localhost MPlayer-1.0pre7] # mv plastic/usr/local/share/mplayer/skin/Default

Note that the first letter of the skin must be capitalized.

8. Input input the input. conf file to the terminal:
[Root @ localhost MPlayer-1.0pre7] # cp MPlayer-1.0pre7/etc/input. CONF/usr/local/share/mplayer/

9. Run gmplayer in X to enable the graphic interface broadcasting mode. Run mplayer in the console to enable the character playing mode. (My text mode is acceptable, but the graphic interface is not successful -_-)
