MPlayer 1.3.0 released
by Roberto Togni 19 Feb '16

19 Feb '16

MPlayer 1.3.0 "worksforme" was released on February 16, 2016 Less than a month after 1.2.1, we're at it again. MPlayer 1.3.0 is compatible with the FFmpeg 3.0.x releases and (at the time of writing) with FFmpeg git. The tarball already includes a copy of FFmpeg 3.0, so you don't need to fetch it separately. This release brings you some new codecs and formats, a lot of fixes, and many cleanups. It also includes all the enhancements and speed-ups from FFmpeg; check their changelog if you are curious about the details. In addition to these, there were a lot of updates to accommodate the API changes made in FFmpeg. Some were simple renames, but others were quite invasive. None of them should have a user-visible effect, except maybe for some corner-cases in the channel order for multichannel files. If you see any regression from the previous releases, please report it on the mplayer-users mailing list or use our bug tracker. So, which version should you use? Try this simple test. 1 Do you compile you own MPlayer? If no, go to 5. 2 Do you want to use a system-wide copy of FFmpeg? If no, go to 4. 3 Which version of FFmpeg do you have? If it's 2.8.x, use MPlayer 1.2.x If it's 3.0.x, use MPlayer 1.3.x If you have an older version, you are on your own. Sorry If you have a newer version, can I borrow your time machine? 4 Do you want the latest and greatest features? If yes, use MPlayer SVN and FFmpeg git. If no (why?), use 1.3.x unless you have a good reason to stay on 1.2.x. 5 You still have some options! Use the version packaged by your distribution. Look for a package on our download page. Look for an updated package in the unofficial repositories for you distribution. Starting from this release, MPlayer depends also on libswresample (part of FFmpeg); the library is autodetected, and compilation will fail without it. MPlayer 1.3.0 can be downloaded by HTTP or FTP (xz 13 MB, gzip 20 MB) http://www.mplayerhq.hu/MPlayer/releases/MPlayer-1.3.0.tar.xz ftp://ftp.mplayerhq.hu/MPlayer/releases/MPlayer-1.3.0.tar.xz http://www.mplayerhq.hu/MPlayer/releases/MPlayer-1.3.0.tar.gz ftp://ftp.mplayerhq.hu/MPlayer/releases/MPlayer-1.3.0.tar.gz Please get the xz variant if you can, to save bandwidth. xz MD5SUM: e8a4d77ad4f509e81dd5e13b51636c1d xz SHA1SUM: 11db20434a4e1aabb9c52f7712241dae1b3730e3 gz MD5SUM: 8786e3c61f7ab64d27c2fb965d68d883 gz SHA1SUM: b002e28b9973f2c930d120149e903964f8849a5d

MPlayer 1.2.1 released
by Roberto Togni 26 Jan '16

26 Jan '16

MPlayer 1.2.1 was released on January 24, 2016 Hey! A new release! MPlayer 1.2.1 is a bugfix release from the 1.2 branch. If you're using MPlayer 1.2 you are encouraged to upgrade. MPlayer 1.2.1 fixes many crashes with fuzzed files, squashes many bugs and includes some compatibility enhancements. A lot of bugs are fixed also in FFmpeg, you can check their changelog for details. It's also easier to build this release with a system-wide version of FFmpeg, since you don't need to copy internal FFmpeg headers anymore. Mplayer 1.2.1 is compatible with the FFmpeg 2.8.x releases. The tarball includes a copy of FFmpeg 2.8.5 (the latest at this date), so you don't need to fetch it separately. Just like 1.2, this version will not work with current FFmpeg master branch, nor with the upcoming FFmpeg 2.9 (or 3.0, or whatever name will be chosen). If you need to work with the latest FFmpeg, please use svn version. If you're following the development from svn HEAD you can ignore this; all the bug fixes are also included in the development version. MPlayer 1.2.1 can be downloaded by HTTP or FTP (xz 13 MB, gzip, 19 MB) http://www.mplayerhq.hu/MPlayer/releases/MPlayer-1.2.1.tar.xz ftp://ftp.mplayerhq.hu/MPlayer/releases/MPlayer-1.2.1.tar.xz http://www.mplayerhq.hu/MPlayer/releases/MPlayer-1.2.1.tar.gz ftp://ftp.mplayerhq.hu/MPlayer/releases/MPlayer-1.2.1.tar.gz xz MD5SUM: 7fe68d1961427d0b4e306074e2cac246 xz SHA1SUM: cf988d8c7fe7bcf15a48970f0cf9e46837d78e1b gz MD5SUM: 6fdf47c76986d91a405b59e265eaf5bc gz SHA1SUM: 0ca56c8176a55fb6a51dffeb607d0e1e31521346

MPlayer 1.2 released
by Roberto Togni 04 Oct '15

04 Oct '15

MPlayer 1.2 "FrameCounter" was released on October 3, 2015 Our latest release was getting stale, so it's time to make a new one. Mplayer 1.2 is compatible with the recent FFmpeg 2.8 release. The tarball already includes a copy of FFmpeg, so you don't need to fetch it separately. Due to some big API changes coming to FFmpeg, this release will not work with new FFmpeg master branch, nor with future FFmpeg releases. If you want to follow the latest improvements in MPlayer and FFmpeg, you are strongly encouraged to use Subversion HEAD and benefit from the latest features and bug fixes. You know how to do it. Because you aren't using a 3 years old release, hopefully. If you are, read on and find out what you missed! VDPAU hardware accelerated decoding now works for HEVC (if your card and driver supports it). Hardware accelerated decoding is now supported also on Os X via VDA. VAAPI is still unsupported, but you can use it via VDPAU wrapper at least for H.264. A lot of new codecs, thanks to FFmpeg. The list includes HEVC, VP9 and Prores; Opus, improved AAC and DTS decoders; WebP and JPEG2000; and many, many others. Also rtsp streaming now uses FFmpeg by default, so you don't need any additional library to use it. For the full list of improvements and bugfixes check the FFmpeg Changelog (note: not all features are available through MPlayer at the moment, especially filters). Many GUI improvements, both in functionality (eg. TV and DVB support) and appearance. If you use the GUI, be sure to grab also the latest version of your favorite skin, or try a new one. You can get them here. The GUI now officially needs version 2 of GTK+ and GLib (compilation with older version was already broken for quite some time). Starting from this release, MPlayer no longer ships with an internal copy of libdvdnav and libdvdcss. You can use the libraries provided with your distribution, or compile and install them yourself. They will be autodetect at configuration time. If your distribution does not include libdvdcss you can usually grab it from non-official repositories, or you can dowload the latest source code form its homepage. The tarballs are compressed with xz, for compatibility with odd systems they are available also with gzip compression. Please get the xz variant if you can to save bandwidth. MPlayer 1.2 can be downloaded by HTTP or FTP (xz, 13 MB or gzip, 19 MB) http://www.mplayerhq.hu/MPlayer/releases/MPlayer-1.2.tar.xz ftp://ftp.mplayerhq.hu/MPlayer/releases/MPlayer-1.2.tar.xz http://www.mplayerhq.hu/MPlayer/releases/MPlayer-1.2.tar.gz ftp://ftp.mplayerhq.hu/MPlayer/releases/MPlayer-1.2.tar.gz xz MD5SUM: 58409fccb8ef33013fb780405405491f xz SHA1SUM: 64fad840dfae466ab5ef3be2b6c74058892cd981 gz MD5SUM: 55323dffe79c31a8d5e90fac5a5d0428 gz SHA1SUM: bcc882a838619c85f57f9888551a72a746303cd6

MPlayer 1.1.1 released
by Reimar Döffinger 05 May '13

05 May '13

Small update A critical fix was made to MPlayer. Previously if you pointed MPlayer at some server to play back a file on it, that server could make MPlayer overwrite local files with arbitrary data. As a user-visible impact two features are disabled by default: Parsing MPlayer settings from ASX playlists and automatically following certain playlists without needing to use the -playlist option. Also, a warning against using the -playlist option was added. Lastly, the included FFmpeg copy was changed to the latest 0.11 release. Download it from: ftp://ftp.mplayerhq.hu/MPlayer/releases/MPlayer-1.1.1.tar.xz MD5SUM: 39dd55f30eb5403f219a606e79a6648a SHA1SUM: ba2f3bd1442d04b17b0143680850273d928689c1 Detached signature for it: -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.12 (GNU/Linux) iEYEABECAAYFAlGGoQIACgkQCJmiuQbU2cdpRACcDnYKcGIRUInZU/GvHci6HpQn RpcAnjlp+CLe7i7NhqTQjzuGzc7yLI+d =sH+k -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----

MPlayer 1.1 released
by Reimar Döffinger 10 Jun '12

10 Jun '12

"We gave up on 1.0" After a long pause, we decided that it might be a good idea to make a new release. While we had our fun with the naming scheme with lots of "pre" and "rc" it seemed time to move on and with everyone incrementing major versions between weekly and monthly we hope to be forgiven for jumping ahead to 1.1. This release is intended to be compatible with the recent FFmpeg 0.11 release. We hope it will be useful to distros and other users relying on FFmpeg 0.11. Everyone else is encouraged to follow Subversion HEAD to always get the latest features and bug fixes. You might still want to read the release announcement to get a short summary of any bigger changes and improvements. Among the bigger news is that we found a maintainer for the X11 gmplayer GUI, so those holding out on it against our earlier recommendations will get a lot of bug fixes. There is also support for more subtitle types (Bluray, DVB, DVB closed-caption for example), many improvements to -vo gl including output of 10 bit video, very basic but usable OpenGL ES support and much better SDL support which makes it a usable choice on OSX (particularly on older PowerPC variants much faster than corevideo or quartz). MPlayer will now also try much harder to handle intermittent network failures, for example trying to reconnect. As part of the code cleanup efforts, the internal libfaad2 copy has been removed since the FFmpeg decoder is working well. Also the internal mp3lib copy is no longer used by default since the many alternatives (FFmpeg, libmpg123, libmad) avoid its recurring issues like incorrect decoding with newer compilers. However it can still be forced at runtime for easier tracking of regressions. Please do not rely on this since it will be removed in the future. If you do not actually need it consider disabling it at compile time with --disable-mp3lib. As a first for this release, the tarballs are available in two variants: compressed with xz and compressed with gzip. Please get the xz variant if you can to save bandwidth, the gzip version is for everyone that cannot use it. Should you never have encountered xz compressed files, newer versions of tar can uncompress it via "tar xJf MPlayer-1.1.tar.xz". MPlayer 1.1 can be downloaded from http://www.mplayerhq.hu/MPlayer/releases/MPlayer-1.1.tar.xz ftp://ftp.mplayerhq.hu/MPlayer/releases/MPlayer-1.1.tar.xz http://www.mplayerhq.hu/MPlayer/releases/MPlayer-1.1.tar.gz ftp://ftp.mplayerhq.hu/MPlayer/releases/MPlayer-1.1.tar.gz xz MD5SUM: ac7bf1cfedc1c5c24bfc83107eefb1d9 xz SHA1SUM: 913a4bbeab7cbb515c2f43ad39bc83071b2efd75 gz MD5SUM: 4bf35ef2a802f23b9ad57ba7ef488587 gz SHA1SUM: e46e3294bc96daabe604e4e195721e4f2d1e5b48

MPlayer 1.0rc4 released
by Reinhard Tartler 30 Jan '11

30 Jan '11

Yes, we can! MPlayer 1.0rc4 continues the tradition of long overdue, but better late than never releases. It has been tested thoroughly to work with the FFmpeg 0.6 branch. It will be useful to distros and other users relying on FFmpeg 0.6. To get the latest and greatest in features and bug fixes, Subversion HEAD should be a better fit. 1.0rc4 once again adds a slew of new binary codecs and leverages all the stuff added to FFmpeg. Notable additions are VP8 decoding, H.264 bug fixes and speedups, unencrypted Blu-ray support. Network streams can now be played through FFmpeg, there has been quite a bit of subtitle work and Ogg and Matroska demuxer defaults were switched to libavformat. The window position is now decided by the window manager. Our constant efforts to clean up the codebase continue as usual. A ton of compiler warnings disappeared and there have been refactorings all around. External library copies have been synchronized with upstream. The internal liba52 copy is gone and it is now possible to build against external libmpeg2 and libmpg123. MPlayer 1.0rc4: "Yes we can" 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 * -vo matrixview finally added * add OS/2 KAI audio driver (-ao kai) Other: * -nosub option for disabling auto-selected subtitles * support for displaying subs in the terminal (FIXME) * support for subtitles with audio-only files * support for right-to-left languages with embedded subtitles * support for UTF-16 encoded external subtitles * support for 8 channel audio * sync dvd:// and dvdnav:// features * support for MPEG-4 ASP in VDPAU video output (non-B-frame only) * support for live and non-live DVB teletext with demuxer lavf * -name, -title and -use-filename-title options for MPlayer * support for stream handling via FFmpeg, in particular RTMP and RTSP (use e.g. ffmpeg://http://example.com/test) * experimental support for external libass, configure with --disable-ass-internal * better support for 16-bit-per-component formats and formats with alpha channel * better out-of-the-box support for compiling for ARM, IA64, MinGW32 and MinGW-w64, MinGW has ASLR enabled with recent enough binutils * libdvdcss synced with upstream Subversion snapshot MEncoder: * add -tsprog for demuxer lavf MPlayer 1.0rc4 can be downloaded from the following locations.

MPlayer 1.0rc2 released
by Guillaume POIRIER 08 Oct '07

08 Oct '07

It's been a while, but we are still around and have decided that it's time to funnel our steady stream of daily changes into a release again. One main source of improvements has, as always, been FFmpeg, which added support for several new video and audio codecs along with speedups and massive code cleanups. MPlayer now supports Real RTSP authentication and the libnemesi (http://live.polito.it/) streaming library as an alternative to live555. Also, many QuickTime over RTSP streams can now be played. There have been various improvements to TV streaming, Intel Mac support should be complete. Support for VC-1 in MPEG-TS and MPEG-PS will make many HDTV streams work. Blu-ray or HD-DVD playback is not possible yet, but MPlayer can play the EVO files after they have been decrypted. MPlayer now assumes square pixels as found on LCD panels. If the video on your monitor appears squished or stretched please use '-monitoraspect 4:3' to get back the previous behavior. It is no longer necessary to patch the sources to get AMR audio support. Instead, download AMR libraries for Linux (http://www.penguin.cz/~utx/amr) and install them as described on that page. Note that this release will not compile on current (as of this writing) Cygwin versions due to a missing llrint implementation in Cygwin. You will have to wait for the next gcc upgrade in Cygwin or patch either Cygwin or MPlayer locally. There is no need to download binary codec packages if you already have an older version. MPlayer 1.0rc2: "AreWeThereYet?" DOCS: * console messages and XML documentation converted to UTF-8 * Russian documentation translation finished * Russian man page translation finished * Chinese man page translation finished * Chinese documentation translation started * Documented get/set/step properties in DOCS/tech/slave.txt Decoders: * Intel Music Coder audio decoding via lavc * Monkey Audio audio decoding via lavc * Fraps v2/v4 video decoding via lavc * Video game codecs: 4XM audio, Electronic Arts ADPCM audio, Delphine CIN audio and video, Interplay DPCM audio, Sierra VMD video, Tiertex SEQ video, Westwood IMA ADPCM audio, XAN wc3 video, Id CIN video, Interplay video, XAN ADPCM audio, Westwood SND1 audio, Feeble Files DXA video, THP audio and video, Renderware TeXture Dictionary video, Bethesda Software VID video via lavc * video game codecs: XAN wc4 video via binary DLL * libmpeg2 updated to 0.4.1 * fixed resolution switching with libmpeg2 * handle resolution switching for Real codecs * FFmpeg video decoder can now handle aspect ratio changes * AMR now handled via libamr wrapper (http://www.penguin.cz/~utx/amr) * SIMD optimizations for mp3lib under AMD64 Demuxers: * Implemented switch_video and switch_program consistently with switch_audio (default keys are "_" and TAB, respectively).

MPlayer 1.0rc1try3 released
by Roberto Togni 05 Jun '07

05 Jun '07

MPlayer 1.0rc1try3 was released because of a security fix. There is no new tarball available, just a patch to be applied over existing rc1. SVN commit to fix the issue: http://svn.mplayerhq.hu/mplayer/trunk/stream/stream_cddb.c?r1=23287&r2=23470 Patch to 1.0rc1: http://www.mplayerhq.hu/MPlayer/patches/cddb_fix_20070605.diff Other older security fixes to be applied to 1.0rc1: http://www.mplayerhq.hu/MPlayer/patches/asmrules_fix_20061231.diff Stack overflow in stream_cddb.c Summary A stack overflow was found and reported by Stefan Cornelius of Secunia Researchin in the code used to handle cddb queries. Two other similar issues were found by Reimar Döffinger while fixing the issue. The vulnerability is identified with CVE-2007-2948 and SAID 24302. When copying the album title and category, no checking was performed on the size of the strings before storing them in a fixed-size array. A malicious entry in the database could trigger a stack overflow in the program, leading to arbitrary code execution with the uid of the user running MPlayer. Severity High (arbitrary remote code execution under the user ID running the player) when getting disk information from a malicious cddb entry, null if you do not use this feature. Please note that is possible to overwrite entries in the cddb database, so an attack can be performed also via a non-compromised server. At the time the buffer overflow was fixed there was no known exploit in the wild. Solution A fix for this problem was committed to SVN on Tue Jun 5 11:13:32 2007 UTC as r23470. Users of affected MPlayer versions should download a patch for MPlayer 1.0rc1 or update to the latest version if they're using SVN. If case you can't upgrade or apply the suggested patch, these are some possible workarounds: * Don't use cddb:// urls (be careful also with playlists) * Redirect freedb.freedb.org to 127.0.0.1 (e.g. via hosts file) * Recompile with --disable-cddb Please note that we are not releasing an updated tarball with this fix at this moment. If you need to stay with 1.0rc1, get the MPlayer 1.0rc1 tarball, apply the patch with the fix and recompile MPlayer; else upgrade to SVN. If you decide to stay with rc1, don't forget to apply also this older fix. If you mantain a binary package for MPlayer, please name the updated version MPlayer 1.0rc1try3. Affected versions MPlayer 1.0rc1, MPlayer 1.0rc1try2 and SVN before r23470 (Tue Jun 5 11:13:32 2007 UTC). Older versions are probably affected, too, but they were not checked. Unaffected versions SVN HEAD after r23470 (Tue Jun 5 11:13:32 2007 UTC) MPlayer 1.0rc1 + security patches
