#48823: MPlayer falling back to pbuffer on OS X 10.11 ------------------------------+------------------------ Reporter: oliver.psotta@… | Owner: jeremyhu@… Type: defect | Status: new Priority: Normal | Milestone: Component: ports | Version: 2.3.3 Resolution: | Keywords: Port: MPlayer | ------------------------------+------------------------ Comment (by crosma@…): The MPlayer developers recommend using the Cocoa backend with OpenGL for playback on modern OSX. To build, simply compile with both OpenGL and Corevideo support (doing so does not cause issues anyway with current versions of MPlayer). This means modifying the Portfile so that enabling OpenGL does not disable Corevideo. Then play videos using OpenGL with the Cocoa backend: mplayer -vo gl:backend=4 [movie] Fullscreen only works correctly with OpenGL when using the SDL backend like so: mplayer -fs -vo gl:backend=2 [movie] -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/48823#comment:9> MacPorts <https://www.macports.org/> Ports system for OS X
