# treason A video player for 9front. ## Status [Video one](https://diode.zone/videos/watch/bfcd2004-677d-4878-86cc-e20a4ff7ccf1) [Video two](https://diode.zone/videos/watch/4f16e664-8701-4125-a62c-9137f3b4a4da) What can it play? MP4 and MKV/WEBM files, which are multimedia containers. Video formats supported are [AV1](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AV1), H.264 (baseline only), VP8 and VP9. Only 8-bit per component YUV 4:2:0 is supported atm. AAC, OPUS and Vorbis audio is supported (inside and outside of a container). *It's only supposed to build and run on AMD64 for now.* More is coming. Patches are very welcome, too. ## Installing/updating Install [git9](https://github.com/oridb/git9), then: cd /tmp git/clone https://git.sr.ht/~ft/dav1d git/clone https://git.sr.ht/~ft/faad2 git/clone https://git.sr.ht/~ft/h264bsd git/clone https://git.sr.ht/~ft/libvpx git/clone https://git.sr.ht/~ft/mcfs git/clone https://git.sr.ht/~ft/treason cd libvpx && mk cd ../dav1d/src && mk cd ../../h264bsd/src && mk install cd ../../treason && mk install cd ../mcfs && mk install cd ../faad2/libfaad && mk install && cd ../frontend && mk install For opus decoding see [adding opus support to 9front](http://nopenopenope.net/posts/audcomp) (scroll down on the post). ## Usage See [how to Youtube on ⑨](http://docs.a-b.xyz/youtube.html). ## Gotchas This is a half-baked early stage project, there are many things missing, in need of improvement, and some (probably) are outright wrong. You need a fast computer to play AV1. H.264 doesn't require as much. VP8/VP9 might be a good alternative. If you see random crashes, try running with `NPROC=1`. Multithreaded decoding "works on my machine", but who knows. ## Contact Sigrid on [9gridchan](https://ftrv.se/8) or freenode.
