manpage: merge new manpage About a year ago, ubitux converted most of the old manpage from the hard to maintain nroff format to reStructuredText. This was not merged back into the master repository immediately. The argument was that the new manpage still required work to be done. However, progress was very slow. Even worse: the old manpage wasn't updated, because it was scheduled for deletion, and updating it would have meant useless work. Now the situation is that the new manpage still isn't finished, and the old manpage is grossly out of sync with the player. This is not helpful for users. Additionally, keeping the new manpage in a separate branch, while the normal development repository for code had the old manpage, was very inconvenient, because you couldn't just update the documentation in the same commit as the code. Even though the new manpage isn't finished yet, merging it now seems to be the best course of action. Squash-merge the manpage development branch [1], revision e89f5dd3f2, which branches from the mplayer2 master branch after revision 159102e0cb. Committers: * Clément Bœsch <ubitux@gmail.com> (Initial conversion to RST.) * Uoti Urpala <uau@mplayer2.org> (Many updates.) * Myself (Minor edits.) Most text of the manpage has been directly taken from the old manpage, because this is a conversion, not a complete rewrite. [1] http://git.mplayer2.org/uau/mplayer2.git/log/?h=man

--a52drc=<level>
Select the Dynamic Range Compression level for AC-3 audio streams. <level>
is a float value ranging from 0 to 1, where 0 means no compression and 1
(which is the default) means full compression (make loud passages more
silent and vice versa). Values up to 2 are also accepted, but are purely
experimental. This option only shows an effect if the AC-3 stream contains
the required range compression information.
--abs=<value>
(``--ao=oss`` only) (OBSOLETE)
Override audio driver/card buffer size detection.
--ac=<[-\|+]codec1,[-\|+]codec2,...[,]>
Specify a priority list of audio codecs to be used, according to their
codec name in codecs.conf. Use a '-' before the codec name to omit it.
Use a '+' before the codec name to force it, this will likely crash! If

in the list.
*NOTE*: See ``--ac=help`` for a full list of available codecs.
*EXAMPLE*:
:``--ac=mp3acm``: Force the l3codeca.acm MP3 codec.
:``--ac=mad,``: Try libmad first, then fall back on others.
:``--ac=hwac3,a52,``: Try hardware AC-3 passthrough, software AC-3, then
others.
:``--ac=hwdts,``: Try hardware DTS passthrough, then fall back on
others.
:``--ac=-ffmp3,``: Skip FFmpeg's MP3 decoder.
--adapter=<value>
Set the graphics card that will receive the image. You can get a list of
available cards when you run this option with ``-v``. Currently only works
with the directx video output driver.
--af=<filter1[=parameter1:parameter2:...],filter2,...>
Specify a list of audio filters to apply to the audio stream. See
:ref:`audio_filters` for details and descriptions of the available filters.
The option variants ``--af-add``, ``--af-pre``, ``--af-del`` and
``--af-clr`` exist to modify a previously specified list, but you
shouldn't need these for typical use.
--af-adv=<force=(0-7):list=(filters)>
See also ``--af``.
Specify advanced audio filter options:
force=<0-7>
Forces the insertion of audio filters to one of the following:
0
Use completely automatic filter insertion (currently identical to
1).
1
Optimize for accuracy (default).
2
Optimize for speed. *Warning*: Some features in the audio filters
may silently fail, and the sound quality may drop.
3
Use no automatic insertion of filters and no optimization.

Specify a priority list of audio codec families to be used, according to
their codec name in codecs.conf. Falls back on the default codecs if none
of the given codec families work.
*NOTE*: See ``--afm=help`` for a full list of available codec families.
*EXAMPLE*:

options: accept "yes" and "no" only for flags This removes the alternative values like "off", "0", "false" etc., and also the non-English versions of these. This is done for general consistency. It's better to have a single way of doing things when multiple ways don't add singificant value. Also update some choices for consistency.
2012-09-18 15:50:24 +02:00
--aid=<ID|auto|no>
Select audio channel. ``auto`` selects the default, ``no`` disables audio.
options: change --vid, --aid, --sid options The --vid, --aid, --sid options now accept the values 'off' and 'auto', instead of having the user deal with the numeric values -2 and -1. The numeric values are not allowed anymore. Remove the --audio option. It was probably meant as compensation option for --no-audio. There are no such options for sub/video, and it was not documented, so just remove it. The replacement is "--aid=auto". Also do some updates to the manpage.

configuration files specifying a list of fallbacks may make sense. See
:ref:`audio_outputs` for details and descriptions of available drivers.

*EXAMPLE*:
- ``--aspect=4:3`` or ``--aspect=1.3333``
- ``--aspect=16:9`` or ``--aspect=1.7777``
--ass, --no-ass
Use libass to render all text subtitles. This enables support for the
native styling of SSA/ASS subtitles, and also support for some styling
features in other subtitle formats by conversion to ASS markup. Enabled by
default if the player was compiled with libass support.
*NOTE*: Some of the other subtitle options were written for the old
non-libass subtitle rendering system and may not work the same way or at
all with libass rendering enabled.
--ass-border-color=<value>
Sets the border (outline) color for text subtitles. The color format is
RRGGBBAA.
--ass-bottom-margin=<value>
Adds a black band at the bottom of the frame. The SSA/ASS renderer can
place subtitles there (with ``--ass-use-margins``).
--ass-color=<value>
Sets the color for text subtitles. The color format is RRGGBBAA.
--ass-font-scale=<value>
Set the scale coefficient to be used for fonts in the SSA/ASS renderer.
--ass-force-style=<[Style.]Param=Value[,...]>
Override some style or script info parameters.
*EXAMPLE*:
- ``--ass-force-style=FontName=Arial,Default.Bold=1``
- ``--ass-force-style=PlayResY=768``
--ass-hinting=<type>
Set hinting type. <type> can be:
:0: no hinting
:1: FreeType autohinter, light mode
:2: FreeType autohinter, normal mode
:3: font native hinter
:0-3 + 4: The same, but hinting will only be performed if the OSD is
rendered at screen resolution and will therefore not be scaled.
The default value is 0 (no hinting).
--ass-line-spacing=<value>
Set line spacing value for SSA/ASS renderer.
--ass-styles=<filename>
Load all SSA/ASS styles found in the specified file and use them for
rendering text subtitles. The syntax of the file is exactly like the ``[V4
Styles]`` / ``[V4+ Styles]`` section of SSA/ASS.
sub: add --ass-style-override option to disable style overrides There are a number of options which modify ASS subtitle rendering. Most of these do things that can interfere with the styling done by subtitle scripts, resulting in incorrect rendering. Add the --ass-style-override option to make it easy to disable all overrides. This helps trouble- shooting, and makes it more practical to use the override features. (You can simply toggle the ass-style-override property at runtime, should one of the style override options break subtitle rendering at a certain point.) This mainly affects whether most --ass-* options are applied, as well as --sub-pos. Some things, like explicit style overrides loaded with --ass-force-style, can't be changed at runtime using the ass-style-override property.
2012-10-11 02:23:29 +02:00
--ass-style-override=<yes|no>
Control whether user style overrides should be applied.
:yes: Apply all the ``--ass-*`` style override options. Changing the default
for any of these options can lead to incorrect subtitle rendering.
(Default.)
:no: Render subtitles as forced by subtitle scripts.

2012-08-02 21:37:33 +02:00
--ass-top-margin=<value>
Adds a black band at the top of the frame. The SSA/ASS renderer can place
toptitles there (with ``--ass-use-margins``).
--ass-use-margins
Enables placing toptitles and subtitles in black borders when they are
available.
--ass-vsfilter-aspect-compat
Stretch SSA/ASS subtitles when playing anamorphic videos for compatibility
with traditional VSFilter behavior. This switch has no effect when the
video is stored with square pixels.
The renderer historically most commonly used for the SSA/ASS subtitle
formats, VSFilter, had questionable behavior that resulted in subtitles
being stretched too if the video was stored in anamorphic format that
required scaling for display. This behavior is usually undesirable and
newer VSFilter versions may behave differently. However, many existing
scripts compensate for the stretching by modifying things in the opposite
direction. Thus if such scripts are displayed "correctly" they will not
appear as intended. This switch enables emulation of the old VSFilter
behavior (undesirable but expected by many existing scripts).
Enabled by default.
--audio-demuxer=<[+]name>
Force audio demuxer type when using ``--audiofile``. Use a '+' before the
name to force it, this will skip some checks! Give the demuxer name as
printed by ``--audio-demuxer=help``. ``--audio-demuxer=audio`` forces MP3.
--audiofile=<filename>
Play audio from an external file (WAV, MP3 or Ogg Vorbis) while viewing a
movie.
--audiofile-cache=<kBytes>
Enables caching for the stream used by ``--audiofile``, using the
specified amount of memory.
--autosub, --no-autosub
Load additional subtitle files matching the video filename. Enabled by
default. See also ``--sub-fuzziness``.
--autosync=<factor>
Gradually adjusts the A/V sync based on audio delay measurements.
Specifying ``--autosync=0``, the default, will cause frame timing to be
based entirely on audio delay measurements. Specifying ``--autosync=1``
will do the same, but will subtly change the A/V correction algorithm. An

manpage: merge new manpage About a year ago, ubitux converted most of the old manpage from the hard to maintain nroff format to reStructuredText. This was not merged back into the master repository immediately. The argument was that the new manpage still required work to be done. However, progress was very slow. Even worse: the old manpage wasn't updated, because it was scheduled for deletion, and updating it would have meant useless work. Now the situation is that the new manpage still isn't finished, and the old manpage is grossly out of sync with the player. This is not helpful for users. Additionally, keeping the new manpage in a separate branch, while the normal development repository for code had the old manpage, was very inconvenient, because you couldn't just update the documentation in the same commit as the code.

``--autosync=30`` to smooth out problems with sound drivers which do not
implement a perfect audio delay measurement. With this value, if large A/V
sync offsets occur, they will only take about 1 or 2 seconds to settle
out. This delay in reaction time to sudden A/V offsets should be the only
side-effect of turning this option on, for all sound drivers.
--bandwidth=<Bytes>
Specify the maximum bandwidth for network streaming (for servers that are
able to send content in different bitrates). Useful if you want to watch
live streamed media behind a slow connection. With Real RTSP streaming, it
is also used to set the maximum delivery bandwidth allowing faster cache
filling and stream dumping.

decoder to decode the audio into as many channels as specified. Then it is
up to the decoder to fulfill the requirement. This is usually only
important when playing videos with AC-3 audio (like DVDs). In that case
liba52 does the decoding by default and correctly downmixes the audio into
the requested number of channels. To directly control the number of output
channels independently of how many channels are decoded, use the channels
filter (``--af=channels``).
*NOTE*: This option is honored by codecs (AC-3 only), filters (surround)
and audio output drivers (OSS at least).
Available options are:

--chapter=<start[-end]>
Specify which chapter to start playing at. Optionally specify which
chapter to end playing at (default: 1).
--chapter-merge-threshold=<number>
Threshold for merging almost consecutive ordered chapter parts in
milliseconds (default: 100). Some Matroska files with ordered chapters
have inaccurate chapter end timestamps, causing a small gap between the
end of one chapter and the start of the next one when they should match.
If the end of one playback part is less than the given threshold away from
the start of the next one then keep playing video normally over the
chapter change instead of doing a seek.
--codecpath=<dir>
Specify a directory for binary codecs.
--codecs-file=<filename>
Override the standard search path and use the specified file instead of
the builtin codecs.conf.
--colormatrix=<colorspace>
Controls the YUV to RGB color space conversion when playing video. There
are various standards. Normally, BT.601 should be used for SD video, and
BT.709 for HD video. (This is done by default.) Using incorrect color space
results in slightly under or over saturated and shifted colors.
The color space conversion is additionally influenced by the related
options --colormatrix-input-range and --colormatrix-output-range.
These options are not always supported. Different video outputs provide
varying degrees of support. The gl and vdpau video output drivers usually
offer full support. The xv output can set the color space if the system
video driver supports it, but not input and output levels. The scale video
filter can configure color space and input levels, but only if the output
format is RGB (if the video output driver supports RGB output, you can
force this with ``-vf scale,format=rgba``).

--consolecontrols, --no-consolecontrols
``--no-consolecontrols`` prevents the player from reading key events from
standard input. Useful when reading data from standard input. This is
automatically enabled when ``-`` is found on the command line. There are
situations where you have to set it manually, e.g. if you open
``/dev/stdin`` (or the equivalent on your system), use stdin in a playlist
or intend to read from stdin later on via the loadfile or loadlist slave
commands.
--contrast=<-100-100>
Adjust the contrast of the video signal (default: 0). Not supported by all
video output drivers.
--cookies, --no-cookies
(network only)
Support cookies when making HTTP requests. Disabled by default.
--cookies-file=<filename>
(network only)
Read HTTP cookies from <filename> (default: ``~/.mozilla/`` and
``~/.netscape/``) and skip reading from default locations. The file is
assumed to be in Netscape format.

manpage: merge new manpage About a year ago, ubitux converted most of the old manpage from the hard to maintain nroff format to reStructuredText. This was not merged back into the master repository immediately. The argument was that the new manpage still required work to be done. However, progress was very slow. Even worse: the old manpage wasn't updated, because it was scheduled for deletion, and updating it would have meant useless work. Now the situation is that the new manpage still isn't finished, and the old manpage is grossly out of sync with the player. This is not helpful for users. Additionally, keeping the new manpage in a separate branch, while the normal development repository for code had the old manpage, was very inconvenient, because you couldn't just update the documentation in the same commit as the code. Even though the new manpage isn't finished yet, merging it now seems to be the best course of action.

calculated differently and video filters which add new frames or modify
timestamps of existing ones are supported. Now enabled automatically for
most common file formats. The more accurate timestamps can be visible for
example when playing subtitles timed to scene changes with the ``--ass``
option. Without ``--correct-pts`` the subtitle timing will typically be
off by some frames. This option does not work correctly with some demuxers
and codecs.
--cursor-autohide-delay=<number>
Make mouse cursor automatically hide after given number of milliseconds.
A value of -1 will disable cursor autohide. A value of -2 means the cursor
will stay hidden. Supported by video output drivers which use X11 or
OS X Cocoa.
commands: add more property-option bridge uses, rename some options Make more properties use the property-to-option bridge to reduce code size and to enforce consistency. Some options are renamed to the same as the properties (the property names are better in all cases). Do some other minor cleanups. One bigger issue was memory management of strings: M_PROPERTY_TO_STRING assumed the strings were statically allocated, and no dynamic allocations could be returned. Fix this in case the need for such properties arises in the future. Get rid of m_property_string_ro(), because it's not always clear that the "action" parameter is M_PROPERTY_SET and the string argument will be used.

--demuxer=<[+]name>
Force demuxer type. Use a '+' before the name to force it, this will skip
some checks! Give the demuxer name as printed by ``--demuxer=help``.
--display=<name>
(X11 only)
Specify the hostname and display number of the X server you want to

``--display=xtest.localdomain:0``
--double, --no-double
Double buffering. The option to disable this exists mostly for debugging

--edlout=<filename>
Creates a new file and writes edit decision list (EDL) records to it.
During playback, the user hits 'i' to mark the start or end of a skip
block. This provides a starting point from which the user can fine-tune
EDL entries later. See http://www.mplayerhq.hu/DOCS/HTML/en/edl.html for
details.
--embeddedfonts, --no-embeddedfonts
Use fonts embedded in Matroska container files and ASS scripts (default:
enabled). These fonts can be used for SSA/ASS subtitle rendering
(``--ass`` option).
--endpos=<[[hh:]mm:]ss[.ms]>
Stop at given time.
*NOTE*: When used in conjunction with ``--ss`` option, ``--endpos`` time
will shift forward by seconds specified with ``--ss``.
*EXAMPLE*:
``--endpos=56``
Stop at 56 seconds.
``--endpos=01:10:00``
Stop at 1 hour 10 minutes.
``--ss=10 --endpos=56``
Stop at 1 minute 6 seconds.
--extbased, --no-extbased
Enabled by default.
Disables extension-based demuxer selection. By default, when the file type
(demuxer) cannot be detected reliably (the file has no header or it is not
reliable enough), the filename extension is used to select the demuxer.
Always falls back on content-based demuxer selection.
--ffactor=<number>
Resample the font alphamap. Can be:
:0: plain white fonts
:0.75: very narrow black outline (default)
:1: narrow black outline
:10: bold black outline
--field-dominance=<-1-1>
Set first field for interlaced content. Useful for deinterlacers that
double the framerate: ``--vf=tfields=1``, ``--vf=yadif=1`` and
``--vo=vdpau:deint``.
:-1: auto (default): If the decoder does not export the appropriate
information, it falls back to 0 (top field first).
:0: top field first
:1: bottom field first
--fixed-vo, --no-fixed-vo
``--fixed-vo`` enforces a fixed video system for multiple files (one
(un)initialization for all files). Therefore only one window will be
opened for all files. Now enabled by default, use ``--no-fixed-vo`` to
disable and create a new window whenever the video stream changes. Some of
the older drivers may not be *fixed-vo* compliant.
--flip
Flip image upside-down.
--flip-hebrew
Turns on flipping subtitles using FriBiDi.
--flip-hebrew-commas, --no-flip-hebrew-commas
Enabled by default.
Change FriBiDi's assumptions about the placements of commas in subtitles.
Use this if commas in subtitles are shown at the start of a sentence
instead of at the end.
--font=<pattern-or-filename>
Specify font to use for OSD and for subtitles that do not themselves
specify a particular font. See also ``--subfont``. With fontconfig enabled
the argument is a fontconfig pattern and the default is ``sans``. Without
fontconfig the argument is a filename and the default is

This was not merged back into the master repository immediately. The argument was that the new manpage still required work to be done. However, progress was very slow. Even worse: the old manpage wasn't updated, because it was scheduled for deletion, and updating it would have meant useless work. Now the situation is that the new manpage still isn't finished, and the old manpage is grossly out of sync with the player. This is not helpful for users. Additionally, keeping the new manpage in a separate branch, while the normal development repository for code had the old manpage, was very inconvenient, because you couldn't just update the documentation in the same commit as the code.

--fs
Fullscreen playback (centers movie, and paints black bands around it).
--fsmode-dontuse=<0-31>
OBSOLETE, use the ``--fs`` option.
Try this option if you still experience fullscreen problems.
--fstype=<type1,type2,...>
(X11 only)
Specify a priority list of fullscreen modes to be used. You can negate the
modes by prefixing them with '-'. If you experience problems like the
fullscreen window being covered by other windows try using a different
order.
*NOTE*: See ``--fstype=help`` for a full list of available modes.
The available types are:
above
Use the ``_NETWM_STATE_ABOVE`` hint if available.
below
Use the ``_NETWM_STATE_BELOW`` hint if available.
fullscreen
Use the ``_NETWM_STATE_FULLSCREEN`` hint if available.
layer
Use the ``_WIN_LAYER`` hint with the default layer.
layer=<0...15>
Use the ``_WIN_LAYER`` hint with the given layer number.
netwm
Force NETWM style.
none
Clear the list of modes; you can add modes to enable afterward.
stays_on_top
Use ``_NETWM_STATE_STAYS_ON_TOP`` hint if available.
*EXAMPLE*:
``--fstype=layer,stays_on_top,above,fullscreen``
Default order, will be used as a fallback if incorrect or
unsupported modes are specified.
``--fstype=fullscreen``
Fixes fullscreen switching on OpenBox 1.x.
--gamma=<-100-100>
Adjust the gamma of the video signal (default: 0). Not supported by all
video output drivers.
--gapless-audio
Try to play consecutive audio files with no silence or disruption at the
point of file change. This feature is implemented in a simple manner and
relies on audio output device buffering to continue playback while moving
from one file to another. If playback of the new file starts slowly, for
example because it's played from a remote network location or because you
have specified cache settings that require time for the initial cache
fill, then the buffered audio may run out before playback of the new file
can start.
*NOTE*: The audio device is opened using parameters chosen according to
the first file played and is then kept open for gapless playback. This
means that if the first file for example has a low samplerate then the
following files may get resampled to the same low samplerate, resulting in
reduced sound quality. If you play files with different parameters,
consider using options such as ``--srate`` and ``--format`` to explicitly
select what the shared output format will be.
--geometry=<x[%][:y[%]]>, --geometry=<[WxH][+-x+-y]>
Adjust where the output is on the screen initially. The x and y
specifications are in pixels measured from the top-left of the screen to
the top-left of the image being displayed, however if a percentage sign is
given after the argument it turns the value into a percentage of the
screen size in that direction. It also supports the standard X11
``--geometry`` option format, in which e.g. +10-50 means "place 10 pixels
from the left border and 50 pixels from the lower border" and "--20+-10"
means "place 20 pixels beyond the right and 10 pixels beyond the top
border". If an external window is specified using the ``--wid`` option,
then the x and y coordinates are relative to the top-left corner of the
window rather than the screen. The coordinates are relative to the screen
given with ``--xineramascreen`` for the video output drivers that fully
support ``--xineramascreen`` (direct3d, gl, vdpau, x11, xv, corevideo).
*NOTE*: May not be supported by some of the older VO drivers.
*EXAMPLE*:
``50:40``
Places the window at x=50, y=40.
``50%:50%``
Places the window in the middle of the screen.
``100%``
Places the window at the middle of the right edge of the screen.
``100%:100%``
Places the window at the bottom right corner of the screen.

:absolute: Use precise seeks if the seek is to an absolute position in the
file, such as a chapter seek, but not for relative seeks like
the default behavior of arrow keys (default).
options: accept "yes" and "no" only for flags This removes the alternative values like "off", "0", "false" etc., and also the non-English versions of these. This is done for general consistency. It's better to have a single way of doing things when multiple ways don't add singificant value. Also update some choices for consistency.

--hr-seek-demuxer-offset=<seconds>
This option exists to work around failures to do precise seeks (as in
``--hr-seek``) caused by bugs or limitations in the demuxers for some file
formats. Some demuxers fail to seek to a keyframe before the given target
position, going to a later position instead. The value of this option is
subtracted from the time stamp given to the demuxer. Thus if you set this
option to 1.5 and try to do a precise seek to 60 seconds, the demuxer is
told to seek to time 58.5, which hopefully reduces the chance that it
erroneously goes to some time later than 60 seconds. The downside of
setting this option is that precise seeks become slower, as video between
the earlier demuxer position and the real target may be unnecessarily
decoded.
--http-header-fields=<field1,field2>
Set custom HTTP fields when accessing HTTP stream.

manpage: merge new manpage About a year ago, ubitux converted most of the old manpage from the hard to maintain nroff format to reStructuredText. This was not merged back into the master repository immediately. The argument was that the new manpage still required work to be done. However, progress was very slow. Even worse: the old manpage wasn't updated, because it was scheduled for deletion, and updating it would have meant useless work. Now the situation is that the new manpage still isn't finished, and the old manpage is grossly out of sync with the player. This is not helpful for users. Additionally, keeping the new manpage in a separate branch, while the normal development repository for code had the old manpage, was very inconvenient, because you couldn't just update the documentation in the same commit as the code. Even though the new manpage isn't finished yet, merging it now seems to be the best course of action.

scales the video to completely fill the window without regard for aspect
ratio.
--key-fifo-size=<2-65000>
Specify the size of the FIFO that buffers key events (default: 7). If it
is too small some events may be lost. The main disadvantage of setting it
to a very large value is that if you hold down a key triggering some
particularly slow command then the player may be unresponsive while it
processes all the queued commands.
--lavdopts=<option1:option2:...>
Specify libavcodec decoding parameters. Separate multiple options with a
colon.
*EXAMPLE*: ``--lavdopts=gray:skiploopfilter=all:skipframe=nonref``
Available options are:
bitexact
Only use bit-exact algorithms in all decoding steps (for codec
testing).
bug=<value>
Manually work around encoder bugs.
:0: nothing
:1: autodetect bugs (default)
:2: (msmpeg4v3): some old lavc generated msmpeg4v3 files (no
autodetection)
:4: (mpeg4): Xvid interlacing bug (autodetected if fourcc==XVIX)
:8: (mpeg4): UMP4 (autodetected if fourcc==UMP4)
:16: (mpeg4): padding bug (autodetected)
:32: (mpeg4): illegal vlc bug (autodetected per fourcc)

ec=<value>
Set error concealment strategy.
:1: Use strong deblock filter for damaged MBs.
:2: iterative motion vector (MV) search (slow)
:3: all (default)
fast (MPEG-2, MPEG-4, and H.264 only)
Enable optimizations which do not comply to the specification and
might potentially cause problems, like simpler dequantization, simpler
motion compensation, assuming use of the default quantization matrix,
assuming YUV 4:2:0 and skipping a few checks to detect damaged
bitstreams.
gray
grayscale only decoding (a bit faster than with color)
idct=<0-99>
For best decoding quality use the same IDCT algorithm for decoding and
encoding. This may come at a price in accuracy, though.
lowres=<number>[,<w>]
Decode at lower resolutions. Low resolution decoding is not supported
by all codecs, and it will often result in ugly artifacts. This is not
a bug, but a side effect of not decoding at full resolution.
:0: disabled
:1: 1/2 resolution
:2: 1/4 resolution
:3: 1/8 resolution
If <w> is specified lowres decoding will be used only if the width of
the video is major than or equal to <w>.
o=<key>=<value>[,<key>=<value>[,...]]
Pass AVOptions to libavcodec decoder. Note, a patch to make the o=
unneeded and pass all unknown options through the AVOption system is
welcome. A full list of AVOptions can be found in the FFmpeg manual.
*EXAMPLE*: ``o=debug=pict``
sb=<number> (MPEG-2 only)
Skip the given number of macroblock rows at the bottom.
st=<number> (MPEG-2 only)
Skip the given number of macroblock rows at the top.
skiploopfilter=<skipvalue> (H.264 only)
Skips the loop filter (AKA deblocking) during H.264 decoding. Since
the filtered frame is supposed to be used as reference for decoding
dependent frames this has a worse effect on quality than not doing
deblocking on e.g. MPEG-2 video. But at least for high bitrate HDTV
this provides a big speedup with no visible quality loss.
<skipvalue> can be one of the following:
:none: Never skip.
:default: Skip useless processing steps (e.g. 0 size packets in AVI).
:nonref: Skip frames that are not referenced (i.e. not used for
decoding other frames, the error cannot "build up").
:bidir: Skip B-Frames.
:nonkey: Skip all frames except keyframes.
:all: Skip all frames.
skipidct=<skipvalue> (MPEG-1/2 only)
Skips the IDCT step. This degrades quality a lot of in almost all
cases (see skiploopfilter for available skip values).
skipframe=<skipvalue>
Skips decoding of frames completely. Big speedup, but jerky motion and
sometimes bad artifacts (see skiploopfilter for available skip
values).
threads=<0-16>
Number of threads to use for decoding. Whether threading is actually
supported depends on codec. 0 means autodetect number of cores on the
machine and use that, up to the maximum of 16. (default: 0)
vismv=<value>
Visualize motion vectors.
:0: disabled
:1: Visualize forward predicted MVs of P-frames.
:2: Visualize forward predicted MVs of B-frames.
:4: Visualize backward predicted MVs of B-frames.
vstats
Prints some statistics and stores them in ``./vstats_*.log``.
--lavfdopts=<option1:option2:...>
Specify parameters for libavformat demuxers (``--demuxer=lavf``). Separate
multiple options with a colon.
Available suboptions are:
analyzeduration=<value>
Maximum length in seconds to analyze the stream properties.
format=<value>
Force a specific libavformat demuxer.
o=<key>=<value>[,<key>=<value>[,...]]
Pass AVOptions to libavformat demuxer.
Note, a patch to make the *o=* unneeded and pass all unknown options
through the AVOption system is welcome. A full list of AVOptions can

probesize=<value>
Maximum amount of data to probe during the detection phase. In the
case of MPEG-TS this value identifies the maximum number of TS packets
to scan.
cryptokey=<hexstring>
Encryption key the demuxer should use. This is the raw binary data of
the key converted to a hexadecimal string.
--lirc, --no-lirc
Enable/disable LIRC support. Enabled by default.
--lircconf=<filename>
(LIRC only)
Specifies a configuration file for LIRC (default: ``~/.lircrc``).
--list-options
Prints all available options.
--list-properties
Print a list of the available properties.
options: accept "yes" and "no" only for flags This removes the alternative values like "off", "0", "false" etc., and also the non-English versions of these. This is done for general consistency. It's better to have a single way of doing things when multiple ways don't add singificant value. Also update some choices for consistency.
2012-09-18 15:50:24 +02:00
--loop=<number|inf|no>
Loops playback <number> times. ``inf`` means forever and ``no`` disables
options: change --loop option, and extend choice option type The --loop option takes slightly different parameters now. --loop=0 used to mean looping forever. Now it means looping is disabled (this is more logical: 2 means playing 2 more times, 1 means playing 1 more time, and 0 should mean playing not again). Now --loop=inf must be used to enable looping forever. Extend choice types to allow an optional range of integers as values. If CONF_RANGE is added to the flags of a m_option_type_choice option, m_option.min/max specify a range of allowed integer values. This can be used to remove "special" values from make integer range options. These special values are unintuitive, and sometimes expose mplayer internals to the user. The (internal) choice values can be freely mixed with the specified integer value range. If there are overlaps, the choice values are preferred for conversion to/from strings. Also make sure the extension to choice options works with properties. Add the ability to step choice properties downwards, instead of just upwards.

be converted to PCM,1.
--monitoraspect=<ratio>
Set the aspect ratio of your monitor or TV screen. A value of 0 disables a
previous setting (e.g. in the config file). Overrides the

This was not merged back into the master repository immediately. The argument was that the new manpage still required work to be done. However, progress was very slow. Even worse: the old manpage wasn't updated, because it was scheduled for deletion, and updating it would have meant useless work. Now the situation is that the new manpage still isn't finished, and the old manpage is grossly out of sync with the player. This is not helpful for users. Additionally, keeping the new manpage in a separate branch, while the normal development repository for code had the old manpage, was very inconvenient, because you couldn't just update the documentation in the same commit as the code. Even though the new manpage isn't finished yet, merging it now seems to be the best course of action.

The binary name and the default config file location are changed as well. The new default config file location is: ~/.mpv/ Remove etc/mplayer.desktop. Apparently this was for the MPlayer GUI, which has been removed from mplayer2 ages ago. We don't have a logo, and the MS Windows resource files sort-of require one, so leave etc/mplayer.ico/.xpm as-is. Remove the debian and rpm packaging scripts.

``radio://<frequency or channel>/capture``. If the capture keyword is not
given you can listen to radio using the line-in cable only. Using capture
to listen is not recommended due to synchronization problems, which makes
this process uncomfortable.
Available options are:
device=<value>
Radio device to use (default: ``/dev/radio0`` for Linux and
``/dev/tuner0`` for \*BSD).
driver=<value>
Radio driver to use (default: v4l2 if available, otherwise v4l).
Currently, v4l and v4l2 drivers are supported.
volume=<0..100>
sound volume for radio device (default 100)
freq_min=<value> (\*BSD BT848 only)
minimum allowed frequency (default: 87.50)
freq_max=<value> (\*BSD BT848 only)
maximum allowed frequency (default: 108.00)
channels=<frequency>-<name>,<frequency>-<name>,...
Set channel list. Use _ for spaces in names (or play with quoting ;-).
The channel names will then be written using OSD and the slave
commands radio_step_channel and radio_set_channel will be usable for a
remote control (see LIRC). If given, number in movie URL will be
treated as channel position in channel list.
*EXAMPLE*: ``radio://1``, ``radio://104.4``, ``radio_set_channel 1``
adevice=<value> (radio capture only)
Name of device to capture sound from. Without such a name capture will
be disabled, even if the capture keyword appears in the URL. For ALSA
devices use it in the form ``hw=<card>.<device>``. If the device name
contains a '=', the module will use ALSA to capture, otherwise OSS.
arate=<value> (radio capture only)
Rate in samples per second (default: 44100).
*NOTE*: When using audio capture set also ``--rawaudio=rate=<value>``
option with the same value as arate. If you have problems with sound
speed (runs too quickly), try to play with different rate values (e.g.
48000, 44100, 32000,...).
achannels=<value> (radio capture only)
Number of audio channels to capture.
--rawaudio=<option1:option2:...>
This option lets you play raw audio files. You have to use
``--demuxer=rawaudio`` as well. It may also be used to play audio CDs
rawaudio: use mplayer audio format for format option The rawaudio demuxer had a rather hard to use way to set the audio format with the --rawaudio=format=value option. The user had to pass a numeric value, which then was set as wFormatTag member in the WAVEFORMATEX header. Make it use the mplayer audio format (the same as --af=format=value). Add a new internal pseudo audio codec tag, which is hopefully unused, which makes ad_pcm use the value in wFormatTag as internal mplayer audio format. Playing non-PCM formats is disabled. (At least AC3 can be played directly.)

man: update documentation related to screenshots

--screenshot-png-compression=<0-9>
Set the PNG compression level. Higher means better compression. This will
affect the file size of the written screenshot file, and the time it takes
to write a screenshot. Too high compression might occupy enough CPU time to
interrupt playback. The default is 7.
--screenshot-template=<template>
Specify the filename template used to save screenshots. The template
specifies the filename without file extension, and can contain format
specifiers, which will be substituted when taking a screeshot.
By default the template is ``shot%n``, which results in filenames like
``shot0012.png`` for example.
The template can start with a relative or absolute path, in order to
specify a directory location where screenshots should be saved.
If the final screenshot filename points to an already existing file, the
file won't be overwritten. The screenshot will either not be saved, or if
the template contains ``%n``, saved using different, newly generated
filename.
Allowed format specifiers:

``%[#][0X]n``
A sequence number, padded with zeros to length X (default: 04). E.g.
passing the format ``%04n`` will yield ``0012`` on the 12th screenshot.
The number is incremented every time a screenshot is taken, or if the
file already exists. The length ``X`` must be in the range 0-9. With

``%f``
Filename of the currently played video.
``%F``
Same as ``%f``, but strip the file extension, including the dot.
``%p``
Current playback time, in the same format as used in the OSD. The
result is a string of the form "HH:MM:SS". For example, if the video is
at the time position 5 minutes and 34 seconds, ``%p`` will be replaced
with "00:05:34".
``%P``
Similar to ``%p``, but extended with the playback time in milliseconds.
It is formatted as "HH:MM:SS.mmm", with "mmm" being the millisecond
part of the playback time. (Note that this is a simple way for getting
unique per-frame timestamps. Frame numbers would be more intuitive, but
are not easily implementable, because container formats usually use
time stamps for identifying frames.)

``%{prop[:fallback text]}``

same as %f. If the property doesn't exist or is not available, nothing
is inserted, unless a fallback is specified.

Do this to prevent horrible user experiences, in case someone should attempt to try this version of mplayer with smplayer and others. This also makes it clear that we don't intend to keep slave mode compatibility, because the slave mode protocol is horrible and bad. See the changes in options.rst for further reasons and comments.

--slave-broken
Switches on the old slave mode. This is for testing only, and incompatible
to the removed --slave switch.
*NOTE*: Changes incompatible to slave mode applications have been made. In
particular, the status line output was changed, which is used by some
applications to determine the current playback position. This switch has
been renamed to prevent these applications from working with this version

Apparently this was for the MPlayer GUI, which has been removed from mplayer2 ages ago.

Moreover, the slave mode protocol is so horribly bad that it should not be
used for new programs, nor should existing programs attempt to adapt to the
changed output and use the --slave-broken switch. Instead, a new, saner
protocol should be developed (and will, if there is enough interest).

manpage: merge new manpage About a year ago, ubitux converted most of the old manpage from the hard to maintain nroff format to reStructuredText. This was not merged back into the master repository immediately. The argument was that the new manpage still required work to be done. However, progress was very slow. Even worse: the old manpage wasn't updated, because it was scheduled for deletion, and updating it would have meant useless work. Now the situation is that the new manpage still isn't finished, and the old manpage is grossly out of sync with the player. This is not helpful for users. Additionally, keeping the new manpage in a separate branch, while the normal development repository for code had the old manpage, was very inconvenient, because you couldn't just update the documentation in the same commit as the code.

For most audio outputs, this is a good thing, as they have either their own (bad) soft volume implementation, or control the system mixer. With ao_pulse, the situation is a bit different: it supports per-application volume (i.e. volume control is not really global). More importantly, ao_pulse uses a rather large audio buffer, and changing the volume with mplayer's volume filter has a large delay. With the native ao_pulse volume control, it's instant, because PulseAudio's audio filtering happens at a later stage in its processing pipeline (inaccessible for mplayer).

already match. This can be employed to e.g. smooth subtitles with gaussian
blur. Available modes are:

--spugauss=<0.0-3.0>
Variance parameter of gaussian used by ``--spuaa=4``. Higher means more
blur (default: 1.0).

Select the output sample rate to be used (of course sound cards have
limits on this). If the sample frequency selected is different from that
of the current media, the resample or lavcresample audio filter will be
inserted into the audio filter layer to compensate for the difference. The
type of resampling can be controlled by the ``--af-adv`` option.
--ss=<time>
Seek to given time position.
*EXAMPLE*:

Delays subtitles by <sec> seconds. Can be negative.
--subfile=<filename>
(BETA CODE)
Currently useless. Same as ``--audiofile``, but for subtitle streams
(OggDS?).
--subfont=<pattern-or-filename>
Sets the subtitle font (see ``--font``). If no ``--subfont`` is given,
``--font`` is used for subtitles too.
--subfont-autoscale=<0-3>
Sets the autoscale mode.
*NOTE*: 0 means that text scale and OSD scale are font heights in points.
The mode can be:
:0: no autoscale
:1: proportional to movie height
:2: proportional to movie width
:3: proportional to movie diagonal (default)
--subfont-blur=<0-8>
Sets the font blur radius (default: 2).
--subfont-encoding=<value>
Sets the font encoding. When set to 'unicode', all the glyphs from the
font file will be rendered and unicode will be used (default: unicode).
--subfont-osd-scale=<0-100>
Sets the autoscale coefficient of the OSD elements (default: 4).
--subfont-outline=<0-8>
Sets the font outline thickness (default: 2).
--subfont-text-scale=<0-100>
Sets the subtitle text autoscale coefficient as percentage of the screen
size (default: 3.5).
--subfps=<rate>
Specify the framerate of the subtitle file (default: movie fps).
*NOTE*: <rate> > movie fps speeds the subtitles up for frame-based
subtitle files and slows them down for time-based ones.

Specify the position of subtitles on the screen. The value is the vertical
position of the subtitle in % of the screen height.
Can be useful with ``--vf=expand``.
--subwidth=<10-100>
Specify the maximum width of subtitles on the screen. Useful for TV-out.
The value is the width of the subtitle in % of the screen width.
--sws=<n>
Specify the software scaler algorithm to be used with the ``--zoom``
option. This affects video output drivers which lack hardware
acceleration, e.g. x11. See also ``--vf=scale`` and ``--zoom``.
Available types are:
:0: fast bilinear
:1: bilinear
:2: bicubic (good quality) (default)
:3: experimental
:4: nearest neighbor (bad quality)
:5: area
:6: luma bicubic / chroma bilinear

*NOTE*: Some ``--sws`` options are tunable. The description of the scale
video filter has further information.
--term-osd, --no-term-osd
Display OSD messages on the console when no video output is available.
Enabled by default.
--term-osd-esc=<string>
Specify the escape sequence to use before writing an OSD message on the
console. The escape sequence should move the pointer to the beginning of
the line used for the OSD and clear it (default: ``^[[A\r^[[K``).
--title

even ``tv://<channel_name>`` (see option channels for channel_name below)
as a movie URL. You can also use ``tv:///<input_id>`` to start watching a
movie from a composite or S-Video input (see option input for details).
Available options are:
noaudio
no sound
automute=<0-255> (v4l and v4l2 only)
If signal strength reported by device is less than this value, audio
and video will be muted. In most cases automute=100 will be enough.
Default is 0 (automute disabled).
driver=<value>
See ``--tv=driver=help`` for a list of compiled-in TV input drivers.
available: dummy, v4l, v4l2, bsdbt848 (default: autodetect)
device=<value>
Specify TV device (default: ``/dev/video0``). NOTE: For the bsdbt848
driver you can provide both bktr and tuner device names separating
them with a comma, tuner after bktr (e.g. ``--tv
device=/dev/bktr1,/dev/tuner1``).
input=<value>
Specify input (default: 0 (TV), see console output for available
inputs).
freq=<value>
Specify the frequency to set the tuner to (e.g. 511.250). Not
compatible with the channels parameter.
outfmt=<value>
Specify the output format of the tuner with a preset value supported
by the V4L driver (yv12, rgb32, rgb24, rgb16, rgb15, uyvy, yuy2, i420)
or an arbitrary format given as hex value. Try outfmt=help for a list
of all available formats.
width=<value>
output window width
height=<value>
output window height
fps=<value>
framerate at which to capture video (frames per second)
buffersize=<value>
maximum size of the capture buffer in megabytes (default: dynamical)
norm=<value>
For bsdbt848 and v4l, PAL, SECAM, NTSC are available. For v4l2, see
the console output for a list of all available norms, also see the
normid option below.
normid=<value> (v4l2 only)
Sets the TV norm to the given numeric ID. The TV norm depends on the
capture card. See the console output for a list of available TV norms.
channel=<value>
Set tuner to <value> channel.
chanlist=<value>
available: argentina, australia, china-bcast, europe-east,
europe-west, france, ireland, italy, japan-bcast, japan-cable,
newzealand, russia, southafrica, us-bcast, us-cable, us-cable-hrc
channels=<chan>-<name>[=<norm>],<chan>-<name>[=<norm>],...
Set names for channels.
*NOTE*: If <chan> is an integer greater than 1000, it will be treated
as frequency (in kHz) rather than channel name from frequency table.
Use _ for spaces in names (or play with quoting ;-). The channel names
will then be written using OSD, and the slave commands
tv_step_channel, tv_set_channel and tv_last_channel will be usable for
a remote control (see LIRC). Not compatible with the frequency
parameter.
*NOTE*: The channel number will then be the position in the 'channels'
list, beginning with 1.
*EXAMPLE*: ``tv://1``, ``tv://TV1``, ``tv_set_channel 1``,
``tv_set_channel TV1``
[brightness|contrast|hue|saturation]=<-100-100>
Set the image equalizer on the card.
audiorate=<value>
Set input audio sample rate.
forceaudio
Capture audio even if there are no audio sources reported by v4l.
alsa
Capture from ALSA.
amode=<0-3>
Choose an audio mode:
:0: mono
:1: stereo
:2: language 1
:3: language 2
forcechan=<1-2>
By default, the count of recorded audio channels is determined
automatically by querying the audio mode from the TV card. This option
allows forcing stereo/mono recording regardless of the amode option
and the values returned by v4l. This can be used for troubleshooting
when the TV card is unable to report the current audio mode.
adevice=<value>
Set an audio device. <value> should be ``/dev/xxx`` for OSS and a
hardware ID for ALSA. You must replace any ':' by a '.' in the
hardware ID for ALSA.
audioid=<value>
Choose an audio output of the capture card, if it has more than one.
[volume|bass|treble|balance]=<0-65535> (v4l1)
[volume|bass|treble|balance]=<0-100> (v4l2)
These options set parameters of the mixer on the video capture card.
They will have no effect, if your card does not have one. For v4l2 50
maps to the default value of the control, as reported by the driver.
gain=<0-100> (v4l2)
Set gain control for video devices (usually webcams) to the desired
value and switch off automatic control. A value of 0 enables automatic
control. If this option is omitted, gain control will not be modified.
immediatemode=<bool>
A value of 0 means capture and buffer audio and video together. A
value of 1 (default) means to do video capture only and let the audio
go through a loopback cable from the TV card to the sound card.
mjpeg
Use hardware MJPEG compression (if the card supports it). When using
this option, you do not need to specify the width and height of the

hidden_video_renderer (dshow only)
Terminate stream with video renderer instead of Null renderer
(default: off). Will help if video freezes but audio does not.
*NOTE*: May not work with ``--vo=directx`` and ``--vf=crop``
combination.
hidden_vp_renderer (dshow only)

pin and video is choppy.
*NOTE*: May not work with ``--vo=directx`` and ``--vf=crop``

system_clock (dshow only)
Use the system clock as sync source instead of the default graph clock
(usually the clock from one of the live sources in graph).
normalize_audio_chunks (dshow only)
Create audio chunks with a time length equal to video frame time
length (default: off). Some audio cards create audio chunks about 0.5s
in size, resulting in choppy video when using immediatemode=0.

codec name in ``codecs.conf``. Use a '-' before the codec name to omit it.

Rename to "mpv" This changes the name of this project to mpv. Most user-visible mentions of "MPlayer" and "mplayer" are changed to "mpv". The binary name and the default config file location are changed as well. The new default config file location is: ~/.mpv/ Remove etc/mplayer.desktop. Apparently this was for the MPlayer GUI, which has been removed from mplayer2 ages ago. We don't have a logo, and the MS Windows resource files sort-of require one, so leave etc/mplayer.ico/.xpm as-is. Remove the debian and rpm packaging scripts. These contained outdated dependencies and likely were more harmful than useful. (Patches which add working and well-tested packaging are welcome.)

manpage: merge new manpage About a year ago, ubitux converted most of the old manpage from the hard to maintain nroff format to reStructuredText. This was not merged back into the master repository immediately. The argument was that the new manpage still required work to be done. However, progress was very slow. Even worse: the old manpage wasn't updated, because it was scheduled for deletion, and updating it would have meant useless work. Now the situation is that the new manpage still isn't finished, and the old manpage is grossly out of sync with the player. This is not helpful for users. Additionally, keeping the new manpage in a separate branch, while the normal development repository for code had the old manpage, was very inconvenient, because you couldn't just update the documentation in the same commit as the code. Even though the new manpage isn't finished yet, merging it now seems to be the best course of action. Squash-merge the manpage development branch [1], revision e89f5dd3f2, which branches from the mplayer2 master branch after revision 159102e0cb.

in the list.
*NOTE*: See ``--vc=help`` for a full list of available codecs.
*EXAMPLE*:
:``--vc=divx``: Force Win32/VfW DivX codec, no fallback.
:``--vc=-divxds,-divx,``: Skip Win32 DivX codecs.
:``--vc=ffmpeg12,mpeg12,``: Try libavcodec's MPEG-1/2 codec, then
libmpeg2, then others.
--vf=<filter1[=parameter1:parameter2:...],filter2,...>
Specify a list of video filters to apply to the video stream. See
:ref:`video_filters` for details and descriptions of the available filters.
The option variants ``--vf-add``, ``--vf-pre``, ``--vf-del`` and
``--vf-clr`` exist to modify a previously specified list, but you
shouldn't need these for typical use.
--vfm=<driver1,driver2,...>
Specify a priority list of video codec families to be used, according to
their names in codecs.conf. Falls back on the default codecs if none of
the given codec families work.
*NOTE*: See ``--vfm=help`` for a full list of available codec families.
*EXAMPLE*:
:``--vfm=ffmpeg,dshow,vfw``:
Try the libavcodec, then Directshow, then VfW codecs and fall back on
others, if they do not work.
:``--vfm=xanim``:
Try XAnim codecs first.
options: accept "yes" and "no" only for flags This removes the alternative values like "off", "0", "false" etc., and also the non-English versions of these. This is done for general consistency. It's better to have a single way of doing things when multiple ways don't add singificant value. Also update some choices for consistency.
2012-09-18 15:50:24 +02:00
--vid=<ID|auto|no>
Select video channel. ``auto`` selects the default, ``no`` disables video.

--vo=<driver1[:suboption1[=value]:...],driver2,...[,]>
Specify a priority list of video output drivers to be used. For
interactive use you'd normally specify a single one to use, but in
configuration files specifying a list of fallbacks may make sense. See
:ref:`video_outputs` for details and descriptions of available drivers.
--vobsub=<file>
Specify a VOBsub file to use for subtitles. Has to be the full pathname
without extension, i.e. without the ``.idx``, ``.ifo`` or ``.sub``.
--vobsubid=<0-31>
Specify the VOBsub subtitle ID.
--volstep=<0-100>
Set the step size of mixer volume changes in percent of the whole range
(default: 3).
--volume=<-1-100>
Set the startup volume in the mixer, either hardware or software (if used
with ``--softvol``). A value of -1 (the default) will not change the
volume. See also ``--af=volume``.
man: remove documentation for deleted stuff Also make some minor cosmetic changes.

movie on. A value of -2 means fullscreen across the whole virtual display
(in this case Xinerama information is completely ignored), -1 means
fullscreen on the display the window currently is on. The initial position
set via the ``--geometry`` option is relative to the specified screen.
Will usually only work with ``--fstype=-fullscreen`` or ``--fstype=none``.
This option is not suitable to only set the startup screen (because it
will always display on the given screen in fullscreen mode),
``--geometry`` is the best that is available for that purpose currently.
Supported by at least the direct3d, gl, x11, xv and corevideo video output
drivers.
--xvidopts=<option1:option2:...>
Specify additional parameters when decoding with Xvid.
*NOTE*: Since libavcodec is faster than Xvid you might want to use the
libavcodec postprocessing filter (``--vf=pp``) and decoder
(``--vfm=ffmpeg``) instead.
Xvid's internal postprocessing filters:
:deblock-chroma (see also ``--vf=pp``): chroma deblock filter
:deblock-luma (see also ``--vf=pp``): luma deblock filter
:dering-luma (see also ``--vf=pp``): luma deringing filter
:dering-chroma (see also ``--vf=pp``): chroma deringing filter
:filmeffect (see also ``--vf=noise``):
Adds artificial film grain to the video. May increase perceived
quality, while lowering true quality.
rendering methods:
:dr2: Activate direct rendering method 2.
:nodr2: Deactivate direct rendering method 2.
--xy=<value>
:value<=8: Scale image by factor <value>.
:value>8: Set width to value and calculate height to keep correct aspect
ratio.

Scale image to height <height> (if software/hardware scaling is available).
Disables aspect calculations.

Allow software scaling, where available. This will allow scaling with
