The -no-ass switch used to disable any use of libass for text subtitles. This is not really the case anymore, because libass is now always involved when rendering text. The only remaining use of -no-ass is disabling styling or showing subtitles on the terminal. On the other hand, the old subtitle rendering path is a big reason why the subtitle code is still a big mess with an awful number of obscure special cases. In order to simplify it, remove the old subtitle rendering code, and always go through sd_ass.c. Basically, we use ASS_Track as central data structure for storing text subtitles instead of struct sub_data. This also makes libass mandatory for all text subs, even if they are printed to the terminal in -no-video mode. (We could add something like sd_text to avoid this, but it's not worth the trouble.) struct sub_data and subreader.c are still around, even its ASS/SSA reader. But struct sub_data is freed right after converting it to ASS_Track. The internal ASS reader actually can handle some obscure cases libass can't, like files encoded in UTF-16. |

mpv
Overview
mpv is a movie player based on MPlayer and mplayer2. It supports a wide variety of video file formats, audio and video codecs, and subtitle types.
If you are wondering what's different from mplayer2 and MPlayer you can read more about the changes.
Compilation
Compiling with full features requires development files for several
external libraries. Below is a list of some important requirements. For
more information see the output of ./configure --help for a list of options,
or look at the list of enabled and disabled features printed after running
./configure. If you think you have support for some feature installed
but configure fails to detect it, the file config.log may contain
information about the reasons for the failure.
Essential dependencies (incomplete list):
- gcc or clang
- X development headers (xlib, X extensions, libvdpau, libGL, libXv, ...)
- Audio output development headers (libasound, pulseaudio)
- fribidi, freetype, fontconfig development headers (for libass)
- libass
- FFmpeg libraries (libavutil libavcodec libavformat libswscale libpostproc)
- libjpeg
- libquvi if you want to play Youtube videos directly
- libx264 if you want to use encoding (has to be explicitly enabled when compiling ffmpeg)
Most of the above libraries are available in suitable versions on normal Linux distributions. However FFmpeg is an exception (distro versions may be too old to work at all or work well). For that reason you may want to use the separately available build wrapper (mpv-build) that first compiles FFmpeg libraries and libass, and then compiles the player statically linked against those.
If you are running Mac OSX and using homebrew we provide homebrew-mpv, an up to date formula that compiles mpv with sensible dependencies and defaults for OSX.
