New in MPlayer OSX 1.0 RC4 (Jan 31, 2011)

  • GUI: Changes towards removing the GUI
  • The GUI will no longer display any error or warning messages.
  • Special GUI slave commands (gui_*) were removed, along with the related key bindings.
  • Decoders:
  • YUY2 Lossless Codec (YLC0) via binary DLL
  • Truemotion RT codec (TR20) via binary DLL
  • Nogantech Codec (NTN1 and NTN2) via binary DLL
  • add new FourCCs (m1v1, yuvs, VYUY, Y42B, V422, YUNV, UYNV, UYNY, uyv1, 2Vu1, P422, HDYC, IJLV, MVJP) TwoCCs (0xA106, 0x6c75, 0xAAC0, 0x55005354) to existing decoders
  • AMR now handled via OpenCORE decoder
  • updated Windows Media Screen Codec (MSS1, MSS2) via binary DLL
  • CoreAVC H.264 decoder via binary DLL (Windows only)
  • Kega Game video codec (KGV1) via binary DLL
  • SoftLab-NSK Forward MPEG-2 I-frames (SLIF) via binary DLL
  • JPEG 2000 support via OpenJPEG
  • internal liba52 copy removed
  • CineForm HD (CFHD) via binary DLL
  • VP8 en-/decoding through libvpx wrapper and native decoder in FFmpeg
  • support for external libmpeg2 added
  • hardware MPEG decoder priority lowered
  • external libmpg123 support
  • Demuxers:
  • Mostly fixed timing issues with some H.264 (PAFF) samples
  • Matroska and Ogg demuxers switched to use libavformat by default. Report issues and use -demuxer ogg and -demuxer mkv to work around them.
  • support for TrueHD in Blu-ray streams in libmpdemux
  • more Blu-ray codec support with lavf
  • fix length in ASF/WMV files
  • support ISDB-Tb DVB streams
  • Filters:
  • remove vf_yuy2, functionality is replaced by -vf format=yuv2
  • remove vf_rgb2bgr, functionality is replaced by sws and vf_format
  • Streaming:
  • Support for unencrypted Blu-ray playback through libbluray. Use it through: mplayer br:////path/to/disc
  • Drivers:
  • -vo yuv4mpeg:interlaced no longer does its own interlaced RGB->YUV conversion. Use -vf scale=::1 to keep the same behavior and report if there are any issues with that.
  • X11: Window manager chooses Window position by default. Add geometry=50%:50% to your configuration to get the old behavior.
  • -vo md5sum md5 calculation changed so output matches FFmpeg's -f framemd5
  • Support for more formats in OpenGL video output drivers (different YUV subsampling, 16 bit per component)
  • Selectable YUV to RGB conversion standard for -vo gl (-vo gl:colorspace=...:levelconv=...)
  • -vo gl now tries to use yuv=2 by default if possible
  • -vo gl:stereo=... for experimental stereo (3D) support
