The MPlayer G2 project was abandoned, and all the development effort was put on MPlayer 1.0. [ 8 ] MPlayer was previously called "MPlayer - The Movie Player for Linux" by its developers but this was later shortened to "MPlayer - The Movie Player" after it became commonly used on other operating systems.
SMPlayer is a cross-platform graphical front-end for MPlayer and mpv [6] and forks of Mplayer using GUI widgets offered by Qt. SMPlayer is free and open-source software subject to the terms of the GNU General Public License version 2 or later. [5] SMplayer has been localized in more than 30 languages.
mpv is free and open-source media player software based on MPlayer, mplayer2 and FFmpeg.It runs on several operating systems, including Unix-like operating systems (Linux, BSD-based, macOS) and Microsoft Windows, along with having an Android port called mpv-android. [7]
Avidemux was written from scratch, but additional code from FFmpeg, MPlayer, Transcode and Avisynth has been used on occasion as well. Nonetheless, it is a completely standalone program that does not require any other programs to read, decode, or encode other than itself.
An example of vainfo output, showing supported video codecs for VA-API acceleration. The main motivation for VA-API is to enable hardware-accelerated video decode at various entry-points (VLD, IDCT, motion compensation, deblocking [5]) for the prevailing coding standards today (MPEG-2, MPEG-4 ASP/H.263, MPEG-4 AVC/H.264, H.265/HEVC, and VC-1/WMV3).
Individual distributions may further sub-classify these plug-ins: for example Ubuntu groups the "bad" and "ugly" sets into the "Universe" or the "Multiverse" components. In addition, there is a GStreamer FFmpeg plug-in (called gst-libav for historic reasons [ 14 ] ) that extends the number of supported media formats.
Other backends are available for mplayer and gstreamer. Additional players can be easily defined. [5] EMMS implements a buffer-based playlist and queue. Locations in files can be bookmarked. Standard Emacs key bindings are used to navigate, edit the playlist, and control playback.
The Libav project was a fork of the FFmpeg project. [6] It was announced on March 13, 2011 by a group of FFmpeg developers. [7] [8] [9] The event was related to an issue in project management and different goals: FFmpeg supporters wanted to keep development velocity in favour of more features, while Libav supporters and developers wanted to improve the state of the code and take the time to ...
