mplayer no subtitles, no fonts

[markurujapan@…]

Hello, I installed mplayer with macports, and when I try to watch a movie, I can't see any subtitle :(, no osd etc

Any solution?

Thanks

Which variants do you have mplayer installed with? Type port installed mplayer to find out, and then post the results here.

Edit: +osd is a variant. You can also use the +fribidi variant to drag in the +osd variant as well.

In the future, please fill in the Port field and Cc the port maintainer(s).

with mplayer2, all perfect

port installed mplayer2
The following ports are currently installed:
  mplayer2 @2.0-20130428_0 (active)

The issue is only if I install mplayer 1

mplayer seek freetype header files in /opt/local/include/freetype, but the newest freetype port put the header files in /opt/local/include/freetype2. solve the problem by adding '-I${prefix}/include/freetype2' in --extra-cflags argument

@coredumb: Many thanks for the hint – with your help, I have now been able to manually fix the issue by doing the following (unfortunately, I am ignorant of --extra-cflags):

ln -s /opt/local/include/freetype2 /opt/local/include/freetype

Of course, I hope this will not mess up too much of macports.
