Setup Development Environment

1. To compile mplayer under Windows, we can use MinGW or Cygwin, here I use MinGW, which can be downloaded from http://sourceforge.net/projects/mplayer-ww/files/MinGW-full/MinGW-full-20101119.7z/download, unpack it to C:\MinGW when complete.
2. Download the latest source code of mplayer from http://www.mplayerhq.hu/design7/dload.html, I use TortoiseSVN to download the latest source code from svn://svn.mplayerhq.hu/mplayer/trunk, store it in C:\mplayer-yyyy-mm-dd, ‘yyyy-mm-dd’ could be defined as ‘2011-11-11’.
3. Download the latest source code of ffmpeg cause source code of mplayer does not include it, download link is http://git.videolan.org/?p=ffmpeg.git;a=snapshot;h=HEAD;sf=tgz, a single tgz file could be downloaded, unpacked it to C:\mplayer-2011-11-11\ffmpeg when complete.

Create Executable Configure File and Run It

Create a file named ‘autoconf’ in c:\mplayer-2011-11-11, and input some configure options into it, I use below:

./configure --disable-mencoder --enable-static 
	--disable-sdl --disable-pthreads --enable-w32threads

Run C:\MinGW\msys_consolas.bat to display MinGW environment, execute ‘autoconf’ to configure mplayer.

Modify mplayer.c

Here, we will do some coding works by ourselves.

1. Hide main function through define DISABLE_MAIN.
   Find the line ‘int main’, and define DISABLE_MAIN top of it.
   

   

2. Define a structure to hold some functions passed by external program.
   
   C++

   typedef struct
   {
   	int (*open)(int samplerate, int channels, int bits, void* data);
   	int (*close)(void* data);
   	int (*start)(void* data);
   	int (*play)(void* pcmdata, int size, void* data);
   	int (*seek)(off_t pos, void* data);
   	int (*pause)(void* data);
   	int (*stop)(void* data);
   
   	int decode_size;
   	void* user_data;
   } callback_t;

3. Define a function named mplayer_dll_main and export it and call it by external program.
   
   C++

   int mplayer_dll_main(int argc, char* argv[], callback_t* callback)
   {
   	common_preinit();
   	common_init();
   
   	mpctx->stream  = NULL;
   	mpctx->demuxer = NULL;
   	mpctx->sh_audio = NULL;
   	mpctx->sh_video = NULL;
   	filename = argv[1];
   
   	mpctx->stream  = open_stream(filename, 0, &mpctx->file_format);
   	if (!mpctx->stream)
   		return 0;
   
   	mpctx->demuxer = demux_open(mpctx->stream, mpctx->file_format,
   			audio_id, video_id, dvdsub_id, filename);
   	if (!mpctx->demuxer)
   		return 0;
   
   	mpctx->d_audio = mpctx->demuxer->audio;
   	mpctx->d_video = mpctx->demuxer->video;
   	mpctx->d_sub   = mpctx->demuxer->sub;
   
   	select_audio(mpctx->demuxer, audio_id, audio_lang);
   
   	mpctx->sh_audio = mpctx->d_audio->sh;
   	mpctx->sh_video = mpctx->d_video->sh;
   
   	if (!mpctx->sh_audio)
   		return 0;
   
   	demux_info_print(mpctx->demuxer);
   
   	reinit_audio_chain();
   
   	if (callback && callback->open)
   		callback->open(ao_data.samplerate, ao_data.channels,
   			af_fmt2bits(ao_data.format), callback);
   
   	if (callback && callback->start)
   		callback->start(callback);
   
   	while (!mpctx->eof)
   	{
   		new_fill_audio_out_buffers(callback);
   	}
   
   	if (callback && callback->stop)
   		callback->stop(callback);
   
   	if (callback && callback->close)
   		callback->close(callback);
   
   	return 0;
   }

4. Modify function reinit_audio_chain to fit our request.
   
   C++

   void reinit_audio_chain(void)
   {
       if (!mpctx->sh_audio)
           return;
       if (!(initialized_flags & INITIALIZED_ACODEC)) {
           current_module = "init_audio_codec";
           mp_msg(MSGT_CPLAYER, MSGL_INFO, 
        "==========================================================================\n");
           if (!init_best_audio_codec(mpctx->sh_audio, audio_codec_list, audio_fm_list))
               goto init_error;
           initialized_flags |= INITIALIZED_ACODEC;
           mp_msg(MSGT_CPLAYER, MSGL_INFO, 
        "==========================================================================\n");
       }
   
       if (!(initialized_flags & INITIALIZED_AO)) {
           current_module     = "af_preinit";
           ao_data.samplerate = force_srate;
           ao_data.channels   = 0;
           ao_data.format     = audio_output_format;
           // first init to detect best values
           if (!init_audio_filters(mpctx->sh_audio,  // preliminary init
                                   // input:
                                   mpctx->sh_audio->samplerate,
                                   // output:
                                   &ao_data.samplerate, &ao_data.channels, 
   				&ao_data.format)) {
               mp_msg(MSGT_CPLAYER, MSGL_ERR, MSGTR_AudioFilterChainPreinitError);
               exit_player(EXIT_ERROR);
           }
   
   		// add by jacky_zz[2011-12-07]
   		// code come from libao2/ao_dsound.c
   		int format = ao_data.format;
   		if (AF_FORMAT_IS_AC3(format))
   			format = AF_FORMAT_AC3_NE;
   		switch(format) {
   		case AF_FORMAT_AC3_NE:
   		case AF_FORMAT_S24_LE:
   		case AF_FORMAT_S16_LE:
   		case AF_FORMAT_U8:
   			break;
   		default:
   			format = AF_FORMAT_S16_LE;
   		}
   
   		ao_data.format = format;
   		ao_data.bps = ao_data.channels * ao_data.samplerate * 
   			(af_fmt2bits(ao_data.format)>>3);
   		ao_data.buffersize = ao_data.bps;
   		ao_data.outburst = ao_data.channels * 
   			(af_fmt2bits(ao_data.format)>>3) * 512;
   		// printf("bps=%d, channels=%d, samplerate=%d, 
                     // bits=%d, buffersize=%d, outburst=%d\n",
   		// 	ao_data.bps, ao_data.channels, ao_data.samplerate, 
                     //        af_fmt2bits(ao_data.format),
   		// 	ao_data.buffersize, ao_data.outburst);
   		// add by jacky_zz[2011-12-07]
   
   		/*
           current_module   = "ao2_init";
           mpctx->audio_out = init_best_audio_out(audio_driver_list,
                                                  0, // plugin flag
                                                  ao_data.samplerate,
                                                  ao_data.channels,
                                                  ao_data.format, 0);
           if (!mpctx->audio_out) {
               mp_msg(MSGT_CPLAYER, MSGL_ERR, MSGTR_CannotInitAO);
               goto init_error;

           initialized_flags |= INITIALIZED_AO;
           mp_msg(MSGT_CPLAYER, MSGL_INFO, "AO: [%s] %dHz %dch %s 
   		(%d bytes per sample)\n",
                  mpctx->audio_out->info->short_name,

       mpctx->sh_audio    = mpctx->d_audio->sh = NULL; // -> nosound
       mpctx->d_audio->id = -2;
   }

5. Create a new function to decode audio data:
   
   C++

   static int new_fill_audio_out_buffers(callback_t* callback)
   {
       int playsize;
       int audio_eof = 0;
       int bytes_to_write;
       int format_change = 0;
       sh_audio_t *const sh_audio = mpctx->sh_audio;
   
   	bytes_to_write = callback->decode_size;
       while (bytes_to_write) {
           int res;
           playsize = bytes_to_write;
           if (playsize > MAX_OUTBURST)
               playsize = MAX_OUTBURST;
           bytes_to_write -= playsize;
   
           if (!format_change) {
               res = mp_decode_audio(sh_audio, playsize);
   			// printf("[playsize=%d, a_out_buffer_len=%d]\n",
   			// playsize, sh_audio->a_out_buffer_len);
               format_change = res == -2;
           }
   
           if (!format_change && res < 0) // EOF or error
               if (mpctx->d_audio->eof) {
                   mpctx->eof = audio_eof = 1;
                   if (sh_audio->a_out_buffer_len == 0)
                       return 0;
               }
   
           if (playsize > sh_audio->a_out_buffer_len) {
               playsize = sh_audio->a_out_buffer_len;
           }
   
           if (!playsize)
               break;
   
   		if (callback && callback->play)
   		{
   			playsize = callback->play
   			(sh_audio->a_out_buffer, playsize, callback);
   
   			sh_audio->a_out_buffer_len -= playsize;
   			memmove(sh_audio->a_out_buffer, 
   				&sh_audio->a_out_buffer[playsize],
   				sh_audio->a_out_buffer_len);
   		}
       }
   
       if (format_change) {
           uninit_player(INITIALIZED_AO);
           reinit_audio_chain();
       }
   
       return 1;
   }

6. Compile mplayer.
   Type command ‘make’ to compile mplayer, we will get an error in the end because here is no main function defined in mplayer.c, ignore it.

Create a Makefile to Generate mplayer.dll

Create a Makefile named ‘Makefile_dll’, content listed below:

include config.mak

DIRS = input libaf libao2 libass libdvdcss libdvdnav libdvdnav/vm
libdvdread4 libmpcodecs libmpdemux libmpeg2 libvo loader loader/dmo
loader/dshow mp3lib osdep stream 
	stream/freesdp stream/librtsp stream/realrtsp sub tremor vidix
ALL_OBJS = $(foreach DIR, $(DIRS), $(wildcard $(DIR)/*.o))

MPLAYER_OBJS = $(wildcard *.o)

INNER_LIBS = ffmpeg/libavcodec/libavcodec.a 
		ffmpeg/libavfilter/libavfilter.a ffmpeg/libavformat/
		libavformat.a ffmpeg/libavutil/libavutil.a ffmpeg/libpostproc/
		libpostproc.a ffmpeg/libswscale/libswscale.a

# $(EXTRALIBS) come from config.mak
OTHER_LIBS = $(EXTRALIBS)

# $(EXTRALIBS_MPLAYER) come from config.mak
LIBS = $(EXTRALIBS_MPLAYER)

TARGET_DIR = /d/SoftDevelop/C++/mplayer

mplayer.dll :
	cc -shared -o $@ $(MPLAYER_OBJS) $(ALL_OBJS) $
		(INNER_LIBS) $(OTHER_LIBS) $(LIBS) --output-def mplayer.def
	rm -f $(TARGET_DIR)/$@
	mv -f $@ $(TARGET_DIR)/$@

Type command ‘make –f Makefile_dll’ to generate mplayer.dll and copy it to D:\SoftDevelop\C++\mplayerdll.

Using the Code - Create a Project to Use mplayer.dll

1. Load mplayer by Windows API ‘LoadLibrary’
2. Load exported function ‘mplayer_dll_main’ by Windows API ‘GetProcAddress’
3. Write proxy functions and pass them to structure callback_t
