The necessary libass was not in the raspbian repository but it can be compiled and/or a precompiled deb is also available. In my original post I was missing OSD and subtitles on mpv ( and therefore on smplayer) That was because I installed mpv before installing libass. I have also been able to get smplayer to output hardware accelerated high definition video either full screen or by using a hack to toggle back and forth between fullscreen and a small pseudo window of a predetermined size that I can position to a place of my choosing on the display screen unobtrusive to a work environment so as to enable multi-tasking.More on this later in this post I can now drag and drop high def video links from the internet into smplayer or onto the mpv desktop icon I created and have them play(if supported by youtube-dl). Since that post I have succeeded in compiling and creating a deb installation file for the most recent version of ffmpeg which mpv uses to decode audio and video.( Unfortunatlely ffmpeg is not in the raspbian repositories and neither is a recent version of mpv that supports hardware acceleration but there are precompiled debs available which do)įollowing instructions I have also been able to build and install the most recent versions of mpv and smplayer. This means if mpv is run through the smplayer gui that you can simply drag and drop the video link from over 600 supported sites (including youtube and many other html embedded videos) into smplayer's interface and it will play.Ī while ago I posted a rather long, perhaps confusing and tedious missive to these forums concerning mpv integrated with smplayer a media player gui that can use either mplayer or mpv ( or other video players) as its engine: Moreover if ffmpeg is compiled with openssl, and gnutls flags and lua support then mpv player will support youtube-dl. Mpv now supports hardware accelerated high def video decoding on the raspberry pi using mmal (Multi-Media Abstraction Layer) and it will decode just about any audio or video codec and format using the ffmpeg platform to which it is linked.: Surprisingly considering it's many virtues as a media player I do not see much discussion on these forums concerning mpv.
