Salix OS

Just in case these scripts can be useful for anybody (Dimitris Jemos)

# Slackware SlackBuild script for MPlayer
#
#------------------------------------------------------------------------------
# The original slackware MPlayer.SlackBuild script patched
# by Dimitris Jemos <djemos@slackel.gr>
# URL: http://www.slackel.gr/
# The original script can't compile the svn MPlayer code with the option USE_PATENTS="YES"
# If no downloadable tarball exists this script download mplayer sources from SVN/CVS
# and creates a tarball of them.
#------------------------------------------------------------------------------
From MPlayer folder run
./MPlayer_use_patents.SlackBuild
to patch the MPlayer.SlackBuild and build MPlayer with patents

You can use the patched MPlayer.SlackBuild
to rebuild the MPlayer .txz as follows

USE_PATENTS=NO ./MPlayer.SlackBuild # build the MPlayer without PATENTS
USE_PATENTS=YES ./MPlayer.SlackBuild # build the MPlayer with PATENTS

3) mplayer-codecs Slackware SlackBuild

What purpose has this script? It is useless in this way.

What is ./MPlayer_use_patents.SlackBuild and where can I get it from (is it allowed to tell, google knows all)?

I understand only that it is problematical to provide in our repository a mplayer package with the patents included.

It certainly isn't.

It's a shell script. It just happens to create a package. Open it with an editor and find what it does. It's really is that simple. djemos has provided links for everything in his post.

The codecs package only can be used on 32 bit, can't it?

Is there any difference in mplayer playback with patents enabled? Or is it only for mencoder?

OK, this should answer my second question: But:
disable-libdvdcss-internal: so it uses external libdvdcss?
disable-mp3lame: ok, only mencoder
disable-faac: ok, only mencoder
disable-libamr: amr playback disabled in mplayer?

I think this script is useful. It was useful to me. Read below.

1) Just try to compile the svn source, the latest source from MPlayer website and you'll see that it cannot compile.

2) to understand the changes i made look in the patch file (http://www.slackel.gr/djemos/salix-new- ... uild.patch). Otherwise MPlayer source cannot compile.

3) In the latest svn source in both cases USE_PATENTS=YES or NO, x264 support is not enabled.


In the MPlayer source provided with slackware (ftp://ftp.ntua.gr/pub/linux/slackware/s ... 390.tar.xz) xvid support can compile. But this is a different source, an old one.

So this script is useful. It was useful to me to add greek subtitles in an xvid (avi) movie. I cant do this with ffmpeg. If someone know how, he is welcome. Mencoder is an excellent tool.
And it is simple with this script http://www.slackel.gr/djemos/pub/mymencoder


For the things to be clear, here is the output from compiling with USE_PATENTS=YES and below the output from USE_PATENTS=NO. Look in the differences in the two config files and in codecs which are enabled and disabled in each occasion

Look in this script i downloaded from SlackBuilds.org http://www.slackel.gr/djemos/salix-new- ... SlackBuild and if you have an x86_64 system can check if can be used on 64 bit system. In the script has flags for 64 bit.
I dont have 64 bit system.
