Looking at the mplayer docs again says that there are four OSD levels. We’ll be playing with buttons, so be sure to wash your hands for this step. Next up is configuring LIRC to display that stuff. So just add font=/usr/share/font/foo.ttf and you’ll be done with that. I don’t like passing CLI arguments, though, especially when I can cram them all in my ~/.mplayer/config file. I fired up mplayer with that as the option, mplayer -font /usr/share/fonts/corefonts/arial.ttf movie.mkv and pressed the ‘o’ key to toggle OSD output, and it worked that time. I ran locate arial.ttf and only came up with one hit from the corefonts package located at /usr/share/fonts/corefonts/arial.ttf. In their example, they use arial.ttf though I imagine you can use whatever one you like. The mplayer docs tell you to just pick a TrueType font to use, and then pass it in the CLI arguments. By default, mine didn’t have one and I was getting an error that said “osd text out of range” and all I would see was the Play button.
So, I did some research and it’s really not that hard.įirst of all, you need to pick a font to use for the display. I thought it would be nice to setup the OSD (on-screen display) to tell me how far along in the media file I am when I pushed that little button. One of the buttons it has on there is an “Info” button.
The reason is because I use an all-in-one remote that controls everything (TV, receiver, MythTV, DVD player and VCR) and it has a lot of buttons on it. This time, I’ve been fooling around with LIRC. Yes, it’s time for another exciting episode of “Will Steve Ever Stop Tweaking?” I think we all know the answer to that one by now.Īnyway, now that my main problems are out of the way, I’m onto playing with other cool features that I never really cared about since my PVR wasn’t living up to my extreme level of standards.
