Software News   Software News : mui-mplayer port from morphos to amigaos4 released
   posted by kas1e on 24-Oct-2011 21:16:06 (19682 reads)
Hi all

We with Deniil, with big help from Fab (of course, and as usuall :) ) , release a first version of mui-mplayer port from morphos. Check os4depot for it (in upload query for now).


screenshot

There is many thinks to say, but in brief:

The advantages over the our current os4 port: newer mplayer code, better structurisation and code itself, mui-gui with all the stuff , better integration of streaming (working over bsdsocket.library directly), no SDL, sound over AHI, rendering over cgx_wpa and all the other pluses about which know only Fab as he author.

The minus now only one: No overlay. Because of it, in full-screenmode you have no scalling (to avoid slowdowns). Overlay will be implemented pretty soon (i hope).

If you want command line : use it from the shell

If you want GUI: run from the icon (tooltype GUI). If you disable that tooltype, then from the icon it will just ask for the file which need to open.

PS: its is _NECESSARY_ to have update3 minimum, if you want to use GUI. Or, you need MUI from update3, which you can copy on older version of OS and it will works as well. Through, better to just have update3, to avoid any possible problems.

So as usuall thanks to Fab for his sources, to Thore who works on MUI, to Deniil who help with porting and to DeadWood for some help as well.

What bugs you also found ? I for now know only about :

1. slider bug (already fixed)
2. crashes because of altivec (already make 2 versions)
3. non asyncio-library (already included)
4. some crash with .flv, which imho related to stack (already inluded stack cookie).

and in many other part of the program


Describe plz (in the mplayer-thread)

Thanks for your hard work (and to others who assisted). Works fine with on my SAM 460 noting the crashes after using flv files, do you expect any fix for this problem?

Cheers

mmm, delicious, even if i can only smell it from the other side. kas1e and others: great work, doesnt matter if complete, cause it will eventually be. also i fully support os4 ambient port. mos team will not easily resign on their advantages, but this is a move in a long discussed direction. hope will have a pp account again as soon as you establish the bounty. being selfish of course. i'd expect you will support aros ambient port with your expertise, when the time comes.

I don't really care about WHICH apps, merely that SOME should get ported, to (at the very least!) show our good intentions. But if necessary, people should write new OS4 apps in MUI, so that can then be easily ported to MorphOS.


Friedens already showed their goodwill and kindness announcing that they wouldn't release amiga-specific changes of Timberwolf.

Since i'm a little bit expert on mplayer..

@Kas1e
Actually you cannot release a single mplayer exe because every time you use the altivec switch with gcc the compiler will activate optimisations also in the code and so it will be unusable on machines that doesn't have altivec. Yes it is also needed by libavcodec to use altivec instructions but not only for this.
That's why i've always released two version of mplayer.. this problem was already known. There is also a message on mplayer mailing list regard this problem

@afxgroup

Sure you can have a single binary. I do it, and it's no issue. But it requires special care, as said previously, because of their build system not taking that into account.

Hi,
here on my Peg2 works quite nice the only big issue was the non overlay support...

It was about 2 time slower than the afxgroup version in that way... :P
And on MOS side the Fab version was instead faster than afx one...

So hope to get an overaly version soon :)

Well, if you want to make a fair comparison test, since this port doesn't have overlay yet, you should use the SDL output driver with the older OS4 version.

Excellent work!

Just played a few random AVI files as a quick test... works really nicely. Will do more testing as soon as I get chance!

Many thanks to all involved.

Stephen

@tommysammy
What about generic version ? I hope also works fine ?

As i know, you not have in radeonhd now overlay support, so, all the other players (like dvplayer and old mplayer) also works for you without overlay. So, can you please test some video, and see, what version faster or slower.

Both version from mplayer works fine here.The altivec version is here 8-10 percent faster .
I have found two problems .VoB files from a DVD movie eating in both version my CPU.
CPU ist at 100 percent.
When i use clipdown for youtube ,the video is playing but i don`t see something?No window opens but the CPU power showing me that something happens
Is that an overlay problem?

100% cpu loading was caused by some optimisation flag which cause such problems in our current gcc (it was -O4 optimisation flag). Now i build everything with -O2 , and no more 100% cpu loading should be.

Still, try to play the same Vob files via Andrea's version, to see, if it will better or worse.

Did you mean it not show GUI , and only show video window, or , it just show nothing for you at all ?

IF first : then you need to spawn "mplayer -gui 1"
If second: then try to use mplayer from command line, to see, what will happens.
