[SOLVED] mplayer configuring help

leo2501 · 2007-10-27 19:20:33

hi! i see a lot of mplayer adepts here! so i wanna configure my ~/.mplayer/input config file so with diferent keys i can:

- change subtitle size
- change aspect ratio
- change audio track
- enable/disable deinterlace

and my ~/.mplayer/config
- have enabled by default postprocessing enabled
- have enabled by default volume normalization (and a key to enable/disable)
- have enabled by default video deblocking

i have read the http://www.mplayerhq.hu/DOCS/HTML-singl … layer.html page, but the examples and other things i want dont get clear how to implement them...
for example:
mplayer media.avi -af volnorm
Does the volume normalization i want, but dont know hoy to make it enabled by default, i add -af volnorm to ~/.mplayer/config but it says
$ Option -af needs a parameter at line 2
for example...

TNX in advice!

I think much better concentrated explanation withount useless chichat is here:
http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_MPlayer
and at all gento-wiki rocks

But say if you still need help.

yes, its nice to start, but it dont say anything about those specific things i think would help a lot of people not only me and i dont found anywhere

Arguments that you would normally pass with mplayer would be put in the config file in format argument=option,option. If an argument has suboptions, each one is separated with a colon.

so you have to add af=volnorm not -af volnorm.
And i do not remember all opts too so just look with command:
man mplayer
Then press / to input search term.

my ~/.mplayer/config so far:

# Write your default config options here!
vo=xv
ao=alsa
channels=2
alang=en,es
monitoraspect = "16:10"
subfont-osd-scale=3
subfont-text-scale=3
autoq=6
volnorm="1:1" [NOT WORK]
hqdn3d="4:3:6" [NOT WORK]

with it i have no more to much big subtitles, aspect ratio now is set for 16:10 widescreen monitor, and with autoq i think i set postprocessing
but volnorm and hqdn3d are not working, the volume dont get normalizad and the picture quality is the same, so i think those settings need an adjustment...

im still searching how:

- change subtitle size [DONE] -> ~/.mplayer/config -> subfont-text-scale=3
- change aspect ratio [DONE] -> ~/.mplayer/config -> monitoraspect = "16:10"
- change audio track [DONE] "#" key (as say man page for mplayer: "(MPEG and Matroska only) Cycle through the available audio tracks."
- enable/disable deinterlace
- have enabled by default postprocessing enabled
- have enabled by default volume normalization (and a key to enable/disable)
- have enabled by default video deblocking

man page (so more easy, if someone knows hoy to insert this in the ~/.mplayer/config file:

volnorm[=method:target]
              Maximizes the volume without distorting the sound.
                 <method>
                      Sets the used method.
                         1: Use a single sample to smooth the  variations  via
                         the  standard  weighted  mean  over past samples (de-
                         fault).
                         2: Use several samples to smooth the  variations  via
                         the standard weighted mean over past samples.

                 <target>
                      Sets  the  target amplitude as a fraction of the maximum
                      for the sample type (default: 0.25).

pp[=filter1[:option1[:option2...]]/[-]filter2...] (also see -pphelp)
Enables the specified chain of postprocessing subfilters. Sub-
filters must be separated by '/' and can be disabled by prepend-
ing a '-'. Each subfilter and some options have a short and a
long name that can be used interchangeably, i.e. dr/dering are
the same. All subfilters share common options to determine
their scope:
a/autoq
Automatically switch the subfilter off if the CPU is too
slow.
c/chrom
Do chrominance filtering, too (default).
y/nochrom
Do luminance filtering only (no chrominance).
n/noluma
Do chrominance filtering only (no luminance).

NOTE: -pphelp shows a list of available subfilters.

Available subfilters are

hb/hdeblock[:difference[:flatness]]
horizontal deblocking filter

dr/dering
deringing filter

lb/linblenddeint
Linear blend deinterlacing filter that deinterlaces the
given block by filtering all lines with a (1 2 1) fil-
ter.

li/linipoldeint
Linear interpolating deinterlacing filter that deinter-
laces the given block by linearly interpolating every
second line.

ci/cubicipoldeint
Cubic interpolating deinterlacing filter deinterlaces
the given block by cubically interpolating every second
line.

md/mediandeint
Median deinterlacing filter that deinterlaces the given
block by applying a median filter to every second line.

fd/ffmpegdeint
FFmpeg deinterlacing filter that deinterlaces the given
block by filtering every second line with a (-1 4 2 4
-1) filter.

de/default
default pp filter combination (hb:a,vb:a,dr:a)

fa/fast
fast pp filter combination (h1:a,v1:a,dr:a)

ac
high quality pp filter combination
(ha:a:128:7,va:a,dr:a)

denoise3d[=luma:chroma:time]
This filter aims to reduce image noise producing smooth images
and making still images really still (This should enhance com-
pressibility.).
<luma>
spatial luma strength (default: 4)
<chroma>
spatial chroma strength (default: 3)
<time>
temporal strength (default: 6)

hqdn3d[=luma:chroma:time]
High precision/quality version of the denoise3d filter. Parame-
ters and usage are the same.

lol, ProzacR thanks for the last reply!, with that and the man page i see if i can build my config and share it with all!

# Write your default config options here!
vo=xv
ao=alsa
channels=2
alang=en,es
monitoraspect = "16:10"
subfont-osd-scale=3
subfont-text-scale=3
af=volnorm
vf=denoise3d,pp

finally all work
