I want to be able to use Retroarch as my movie player on my embedded devices
|
|
|
|
|
(Raspberry Pi) and desktop using hardware acceleration without having to use
|
|
|
|
|
Kodi or mpv directly. Thus allowing for a more integrated experience, and
|
|
|
|
|
smaller root filesystem.

|
|
### Overview
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Retroarch must be compiled with `--disable-ffmpeg` to stop the integrated
|
|
|
|
|
movieplayer from playing the input file.
|

|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
FFmpeg (preferably master branch) must be compiled with `--enable-shared`.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
mpv must be compiled with `--enable-libmpv-shared`.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Then run `make` in the mpv-libretro folder.

### Compiling with Mingw-w64 on Windows
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
RetroArch must be compiled with `--disable-ffmpeg` and have OpenGL or
|
|
|
|
|
OpenGLES enabled. Compiling RetroArch is not described here.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
1. Open `Minwg-w64 64 bit` (not MSYS2 shell).
|
|
|
|
|
2. Install ffmpeg using `pacman -S mingw64/mingw-w64-x86_64-ffmpeg`.
|
|
|
|
|
3. Clone the ao_cb branch of https://github.com/deltabeard/mpv.git . This fork has the audio
|
|
|
|
|
callback patches required for libretro-mpv.
|
|
|
|
|
4. Follow the instructions at https://github.com/mpv-player/mpv/blob/master/DOCS/compile-windows.md#native-compilation-with-msys2 to compile mpv.
|
|
|
|
|
5. Download libretro-mpv release 0.3.alpha by either checking out the
|
|
|
|
|
`audio-cb-new` branch of `https://github.com/libretro/libretro-mpv.git` or
|
|
|
|
|
by downloading
|
|
|
|
|
https://github.com/libretro/libretro-mpv/archive/0.3.alpha.tar.gz .
|
|
|
|
|
6. Run `make` in the libretro-mpv folder. If using OpenGLES, run `make
|
|
|
|
|
platform=gles` instead.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Overall, the dependencies required to build libretro-mpv are:
|
|
|
|
|
- ffmpeg 4.0 (provided by mingw64/mingw-w64-x86_64-ffmpeg)
|
|
|
|
|
- mpv from https://github.com/deltabeard/mpv.git fork.
