Is there anything planned?
MPlayer is quite nice, but lacks Streaming and HTTPS support, which is very crucial nowadays.
Suprizing that there's really no feedback regarding this from the community.
Could it be possible to at least enhance MPlayer with those missing features?

On OS4 there's Emotion, which can even handle Twitchstreams! Very impressing :)

MPlayer supports streaming quite well and I use it very often. Check the "Open stream" menu or simply run "mplayer <your url>" from a shell.

The lack of HTTPS support is a problem, though. Frank is working on it...

I just uploaded a beta version of an updated MPlayer build to

MPlayer @ MorphOS Storage

It also features HTTPS support now, so with the proper tools to extract links from YT&co, you are finally able to play streams directly.
Only AltiVec equipped machines supported for now.

Thats great news! Just installed it and https works fine! Thank you cyfm :)

So I just tried to play Twitch streams, but it seems that MPlayer will split up the video stream in multiple playlist entries, when I enter the URL as Network Stream.

Video URL

Is there a way to fix this?

Thanks for the reference. It seems that this extractor generates a .mp3u8 file that splits the actual AV stream into a series of 2s segments which the current mplayer port tries to play one by one:

I need to check if there is some way to somehow automerge those streams ahead of playing to avoid any kind of gaps inbetween.
I think it is rather common nowadays to split up streams like this for online streaming since it last but not least prevents direct D/L without additional tools and also makes seeking within a full stream a way simpler task.

is it also possible that Mplayer could also buffer new stream data? I think right now it will only load up data to the point where the stream is right now without loading new data coming from the stream.

Would just like to point out that if you can find lower quality stream urls (not the https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BlAhbLaH page url) on YouTube, they probably won't be split into different streams. As far as I'm aware 720p and above store video and audio seperately.

On a related note, SMPlayer (MPlayer's guified fork, not currently available on MorphOS) has recently given up trying to parse or mux YouTube urls itself and now uses youtube-dl to do so. Google change the site so often that it's a waste of time trying to maintain any kind of video url extraction software. At least ytdl is updated very often. Pity it's written in Python (though Windows has a native exe) and slower than grass growing.

@Spectre660 is right.
All the youtube videos have 360p and 720p one file streams, which are playable using mplayer. Live videos and Twitch or Mixer videos are all m3u8 files with small chunks of videos, usually 2-5sec each. Those files are playable with mplayer, but it stops at the end of each one, and then starts the next one. Also, it doesn't update the playlist and stops when this ends. This behavior exists even on Linux/MacOS versions of mplayer.

The solution for these streams is to port ffmpeg and ffplay. I worked on all these stuff because I created the aiostreams scripts that can be used on AmigaOS 4 and MorphOS, among other systems, but MorphOS lacks currently a player to support them.

Have a look at:

Thanks for the additional links/info. I don't see any real need to port ffmpeg and/or ffplay , though. After all, MPlayer pretty much relies on the ffmpeg package and its infrastructure backend and now contains a fairly recent version as well.
As far as I can tell, ffplay is just a very simple frontend for it.

I used your scripts to watch youtube with the new MPlayer version, thank you. However, I haven't tested Live streams yet.

In case MPlayer stream support lacks functionality to watch live streams perhaps it can be slightly updated.

@cyfm
Thank you for your reply. I am really glad that a newer version of mplayer is available for all of us to use.

If you find a way to make mplayer play streams smoothly that rely on video chunks, please share how this is done and then I will be more than glad to use it, and I won't need ffplay.

ffmpeg on the other hand is also useful for video conversions and process. That might be something nice to have.
