Hi there, Gianluigi Tiesi has some fresher win32 builds on his website: http://oss.netfarm.it/mplayer-win32.php Shouldn't we put a link to it on our webpage?

documenting environment variables
by Diego Biurrun 08 Dec '05

08 Dec '05

Hi, just some time ago I noticed that MPlayer uses a lot of environment variables, almost none of which are documented. Here's a list of them, ordered by the place they appear in the code. The markup is roff-like, it's going to be a man page section after all. Some appear in multiple places. For a few of them I even knew what they do. I'd appreciate if somebody could fill in the blanks for the others. Diego .SH ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES There are a number of environment variables that can be used to control MPlayer and MEncoder. .IP MPLAYER_HOME Directory where MPlayer looks for user settings. libaf: .IP LADSPA_PATH If LADSPA_PATH is set, it searches for the specified file. If it is not set, you must supply a fully specified pathname. vidix: .IP VIDIX_CRT osdep: .IP TERM libvo: .IP DISPLAY .IP FRAMEBUFFER .IP HOME libmpdemux: .IP HOME .IP HOMEPATH .IP http_proxy .IP LOGNAME .IP USERPROFILE libmpcodecs: .IP XANIM_MOD_DIR libao2: .IP AO_SUN_DISABLE_SAMPLE_TIMING .IP AUDIODEV .IP AUDIOSERVER .IP DISPLAY GUI: .IP CHARSET .IP DISPLAY .IP HOME libmpdvdkit2: .IP DVDCSS_CACHE Directory where libdvdcss caches CSS keys. .IP DVDCSS_METHOD .IP DVDCSS_RAW_DEVICE .IP DVDCSS_VERBOSE .IP DVDREAD_NOKEYS .IP HOME libavformat: .IP AUDIO_FLIP_LEFT .IP BKTR_DEV .IP BKTR_FORMAT .IP BKTR_FREQUENCY .IP http_proxy .IP no_proxy
