Post subject: | mythvideo - custom mplayer switches per file? |
Is it possible for me to have a set of custom mplayer switches for a given .avi file such that I can just point the mythvideo GUI to a script or something and have it launch mplayer with the custom switches? Does that make sense? |

Yes, If you create a file /home/mythtv/.mplayer/rippedmovie.avi.conf named after the file name you are trying to play with special settings in that file will use those Mplayer settings. I use this for a few DVD backups for aspect ratio and multi track audio stuff. See this post for more info. http://mysettopbox.tv/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=6574 |

very cool, thanks for the info! I did this: Code: # touch /home/mythtv/.mplayer/title.avi.conf # nano /home/mythtv/.mplayer/title.avi.conf I have the movie in /myth/video/title.avi The contents of the file I have tried are: Code: aspect 2.4:1 -vo xv and Code: -aspect 2.4:1 -vo xv
Both of which gave no result. What is the proper syntax? |

doesn't use - dashes. Apparently I didn't think it was a good idea to save those files during one of my upgrades. Last time I recall using was R5A16. I will search for a sample. ![]() |

Thanks, a sample would be great. I too will experiment with it when I get back home. |

![]() There is some weirdness to this I don't recall previously and still don't have it worked out 100. Basically I had to create a file /home/mythtv/.mplayer/mplayer.conf, I put an aspect ratio in there. Played some video with a specific .conf it worked, I removed all setting from mplayer.conf and changing specific .conf still file works. I think the mplayer.conf file has to exist or Mplayer doesn't even bother looking for a specific .conf file. It it late or I would play with mplayer from command line to figure out what exactly it is doing. Sample.avi.conf Code: aspect=16:9
