* pgup and pgdown seeks backward/forward 10 minutes * up and down seeks backward/forward 1 minute I also find that mplayer's keyboard navigation rocks! Rather difficult to set up but very easy to use afterwards. Those scripts handle the routing of the audio channels.

I also use two python scripts, one for playing a movie with headphones and one for playing with 5.1 speakers. # Set subtitle alignment at its position. (1: load all subs containing movie name)įont=/home/osmo/.fonts/microsoft/vista/Calibri.ttf The best part about MPlayer is the superior subtitle rendering. In my opinion, if you watch a lot of dubbed/subtitled movies, nothing beats mplayer #Fix A/V sync problems on files with bad MP3 VBR audio #Some extra stuff I am currently not using. Subpos="90" #By default subtitles are too low #This sets the postprocessing into overdrive using all possible spare cpu cycles to make the movie look better Subfont-text-scale="3.7" #truetype font scaling Sub-bg-alpha="0" #background color ala closed captions

#Truetype fonts rock! (sudo apt-get msttcorefonts)įont=/usr/share/fonts/truetype/msttcorefonts/impact.ttf Hardframedrop="0" #Make sure hard frame drop is off but can turn on easily now Monitoraspect="16:9" #I'm on a widescreen laptop so keeps 4:3 content from stretching Zoom="1" #Allow sofware scaling if I use x11 for voĭouble="yes" #double buffering(recommended for subtitles)

Really-quiet="1" #Very very little console output (next step is only needed if you have never run mplayer before) That and this config is for the terminal version. Take a look at mine and try it! Keep in mind, if you don't use mplayer from the terminal you don't know what you're emissing. But with a good config file it's much better.
