-===
-
mpv is a movie player based on MPlayer and mplayer2. It shares some
features with the former projects while introducing many more. It
supports a wide variety of video file formats, audio and video codecs,
and subtitle types.
-optional: docutils, jack, libbluray, libdvdnav,
- libfdk-aac, libuchardet, OpenAL, lua, mujs, oss, rubberband,
- SDL2, wayland, youtube-dl
-
-If docutils is not installed, the man pages will not be built/installed.
-This is the reason I have included docutils in both the `required` and
-`optional` lists. If you don't consider the man pages required, then the
-docutils package is optional, too. Building the man pages is
-recommended.
-
-If lua is not installed, much functionality will be lost. This is the
-reason I have included lua in both the `required` and `optional` lists.
-If you don't consider the functionality lua gives required, then the
-lua package is optional, too. Building with lua support is recommended.
+This SlackBuild provides support for most useful optional features.
+Some other optional features may be enabled by having the relevant
+packages installed; they will be autodetected at build time.
+These include:
+ jack, libuchardet, OpenAL, oss, rubberband, SDL2, wayland,
+ cudatoolkit & nv-codec-headers
-Dependencies are autodetected. Some optional dependencies are disabled
-by default and may be enabled (see BUILD_OPTS). Optional dependencies
-that are enabled by default may be disabled (see BUILD_OPTS).
+Please note that CUDA based hardware acceleration requires mpv to be
+built with both the cudatoolkit and nv-codec-headers packages installed.
-BUILD_OPTS:
-To override the default for build options, set the shell variable
-BUILD_OPTS prior to or at build time. For example, to enable cdda and
-openal, which are disabled by default, and to build with four jobs in
-parallel, you could use the following:
+Most dependencies are autodetected. Some optional dependencies are disabled
+by default and may be enabled via the BUILD_OPTS environment variable. Optional
+dependencies that are enabled by default may be disabled in the same way.
-~# BUILD_OPTS="--enable-cdda --enable-openal --jobs 4" sh mpv.SlackBuild
+For example, to enable support for Samba and SDL2 (both disabled by default)
+as well as to disable javascript support (normally autodetected),
+you could run:
-The following list is meant as a note to myself of build options or
-optional dependencies currently unavailable via full Slackware
-installation and from SBo:
+BUILD_OPTS="--enable-libsmbclient --enable-sdl2 --disable-javascript" sh mpv.SlackBuild
-vapoursynth, rsound
+Runtime support for youtube videos requires installation of youtube-dl
+(available from SBo) to be installed. Watch with something like:
