I use /opt/local/bin, but unless you've preconfigured that, use something already in your path, such as /usr/sbin. Here's the way to fix that:įirst, create a shortcut to the mplayer binary in a convenient place. The reason is that invoked from your shell environment, it does not have access to a font to use for display. You will find that invoking it directly from the shell, it's able to show OSD arrows and no text, even though it shows text fine when invoked through the app. However, once you locate the binary: /Applications/MPlayer OSX Extended.app/Contents/Resources/Binaries/mpextended.mpBinaries/Contents/MacOS/mplayer

Install MPlayer OSX Extended - MPlayer as installed by MacPorts cannot display fonts on the Mac, but the mplayer binary (SVN-r36505-4.2.1) bundled into MPlayer OSX does, indeed, show on-screen display (OSD). The problem arises when you want on-screen display - to see time remaining in your movie, and particularly to show subtitles. Sudo port install mplayer - the basic MacPorts mplayer package is great and does most everything you want - I am particularly addicted to -vf screenshot, which captures screenshots by pressing the s key anytime, and to -af volnorm and -af scaletempo,which normalizes the volume of the video so you don't have to choose between deafening explosions or inaudible dialog, and time-slices the audio so you can speed up or slow down the video while maintaining pitch on the audio, respectively. Trouble is that getting mplayer to display on-screen text can be difficult. Learn a few switches, and navigating videos with VLC or Quicktime starts to feel slow and clumsy. You should then see:Īt this stage, MPlayer OSX is successfully installed.I'm a big fan of the shell, and mplayer is one of those utilities that make Unix super cool. If you trust the application, you should click Open to start MPlayer. Since this is the first time it has run, you will see a warning like so: You should be able to find 'MPlayer OSX' now in Applications, like so:ĭoubleclick the 'MPlayer OSX' icon to start MPlayer.
