OpenSUSE Multimedia :: Mplayer Configuration - Save URLs
Jan 3, 2010
I'm not able to reproduce a configuration which I had before.
The plot: openSUSE 11.1 i586, seamonkey 1.1.18, MPlayer dev-SVN-r30099-4.3-openSUSE Linux 11.1 (i686)-Packman = MPlayer-1.0rc2_r30099-1.pm.1.1, mplayerplug-in-3.55+cvs20090923-0.pm.2.2
My old system which died in a catastrophic hardware failure did write the URLs of all movies played with mplayerplug-in to a file located at $HOME/Movies/playlist.
How can I configure the new system to do it again?
I would like to save a broadcast video with mplayer but I want do it while they are seeing, I mean, I want see them in real time, but also recording them and see them when I want I've actually got with audio files with:
Code: mplayer http://whatever/audio -ao pcm:file=/home/user/audio.mp3 It works perfectly, I listen to the audio file from the radio I connected and save the file. But I can't with video, I tried: Code: mplayer http://whatever/video -vo x11 -ao pcm:file=/home/user/video.mp4
Original tittle, edited for add the tag [SOLVED] on subject How can I save the configuration of panel of the xfce4 ?
I have a pretty panel configured on my xfce4 (debian lenny). How can I save the configuration of my panel ? I'm afraid to lost my configuration in some situation of error.
I have just installed OpenSuse 11.4 with XFCE environment on my Acer Aspire 5738Z.
Everytime I boot, I need to configure manually the "capture device" with Alsamixer to change it from "micro" to "internal micro".
I tried to save the settings using alsactl store/restore as I do with Ubuntu, but it doesn't work. Every time I restart my computer, the capture is on "micro" again.
I've noticed the Packman mplayer's ffvorbis doesn't seem to be working on 11.2 (x86)-any vorbis seems to be decoded as very quiet noise that roughly matches the sound that ought to be made. Audio output (-ao) doesn't make any difference, and I've the same problem on three different machines. Xine, vlc, ffplay, etc. all work, as does -afm tremor (the reference decoder) with mplayer. The verbose output from mplayer seems to be the same between these systems and an older 11.0 system with a not-very-recently-upgraded version of mplayer. Unfortunately, packman does not keep old versions of packages, and compiling mplayer is somewhat of a chore, so it is not immediately easy to test an old version of MPlayer on 11.2 for me.
I'm using the samples from Vorbis.com: Music to test with, so I assume there is nothing peculiar about the files.
Is anyone successfully using current (1.0rc2_r29796) Packman MPlayer to play either vorbis .oggs or video with vorbis audio on 11.2? If so, was it a fresh install or an upgrade system? Architecture? Etc.-I've run out of machines to easily test on, and it doesn't work on any of them.
I realize that this is better-addressed to the Packman mailing list, but very few users seem to read it, and for whatever reason, the packagers never seem to have any problems with their own packages (even when they are clearly broken for many others); so I thought I would give it a try here first.
When a tv stream is opened with smplayer it goes nowhere. A snippet from the smplayer log: [10:20:47:604] Playlist:layItem: out of range [10:20:47:604] BaseGui:laylistHasFinished [10:20:50:387] Core::changeOSD: 1 [10:20:50:388] Core:ausing_prefix
Not sure when this first happened but I suspect it was just a couple of days ago. I had installed DeVeDe to burn some video to disc and it all worked fine but now when I try to run DeVeDe it says it can't find mplayer and you have to quit. I've tracked this back to mplayer and I'm getting this error from mplayer:
mplayer: error while loading shared libraries: libvdpau.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory libvdpau is installed so I don't know why it can't find the library.
I see there are issues with vdpau and nvidia but this shouldn't be affecting me should it??
I have the restricted format software installed via one-click-install. I found that in 11.4 mplayer would fail to start playing a MP3 clip, but succeed on the second and subsequent tries, but only within a short time afterwards. A quick examination showed that this was because mplayer was firing off an instance of pulseaudio, which stayed around for a while, then exited. This was not acceptable for a clip played from a cron job so I found the way to bypass pulseaudio for mplayer was by putting this line in ~/.mplayer/config:
Code: ao=alsa Worked fine afterwards. I don't know if this affects the ability to output audio from other apps while the sound device is in use, but I don't have that situation, so this workaround suits me.
I downloaded the mplayer essential codecs pack and extracted in directories mentioned.I even compiled mplayer and it can play now almost all the files. But I am having a problem.The problem is that other multimedia players dont play even a single file.I tried with xine,totem,kaffiene and every bundled player.
I'm trying to play quicktime (streaming) movies in firefox and therefore followed this guide: MPlayer Mozilla/Firefox plugin But it didn't succeed as i don't find the mplayer plugin in my add-ons of firefox. I placed the mplayerplug-in.so file into /home/.mozilla/plugins and /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins folder but without success.
I can't seem to watch 576p or 720p files without either VLC tearing and blocking or MPlayer freezing for a few frames, or stuttering. I can't figure out why.
I have a Intel Q6600 and a GTX480 with the latest drivers on OpenSUSE 11.4. Qt 4.7.1
On VLC 1.1.8/1.2.0 I've tried X11 video out, XVideo video out and GLX video out. I've also tried enabling hardware decoding under Advanced > Inputs/Codecs > FFmpeg to no avail.
On MPlayer 0.6.9, I set my cores to 4, and and tried XVideo output and VDPAU output.
I'm using wget to retrieve a long list of URLs, a small proportion of which fail, hence:
Code: wget --input-file=urls.txt Is there a way to log the urls that have failed? Unfortunatley wget does not output the current URL being processed (and then the status), so hard to see grepping the output helping.
Or should I use some alternative like curl, wmget?
I have observed a recurring problem with video files. Very often the error stated below occurs when I try to play few files, but not when playing few other videos.The error is:"Mplayer has finished unexpedtedly. Exit code: 1"How can i get rid of this recurring error.
I am not able to play certain movie files with MPlayer since a few days: Code: MPlayer dev-SVN-r32749-4.4-openSUSE Linux 11.2 (i686)-Packman (C) 2000-2010 MPlayer Team Can't open joystick device /dev/input/js0: No such file or directory Can't init input joystick mplayer: could not connect to socket mplayer: No such file or directory Failed to open LIRC support. You will not be able to use your remote control.

I am not sure which filetypes are affected by this bug, but I can play *some* files. The specific file here used to work a few days ago. Code: kalle@hoppers:~> file somefile.wmv somefile.wmv: Microsoft ASF The only major thing referring to multimedia in the past few days I remember is installing 'h264enc' from Packman, however, meanwhile I uninstalled this package, yet the problem persists.
Code: kalle@hoppers:~> grep h264enc /var/log/zypp/history 2011-01-15 20:11:53|install|h264enc|9.2.4-0.pm.1.1|noarch|root@hoppers|Packman|c5bd1d534726472929134e5acc8f66492c52c51b 2011-01-20 22:06:20|remove |h264enc|9.2.4-0.pm.1.1|noarch|root@hoppers The only way of solving this was moving MPlayers config, but that did not help either.
Xine also is not able to play this video: Code: kalle@hoppers:~> xine somefile.wmv Dies ist xine (X11 gui) - Ein freier Video-Player v0.99.6. (c) 2000-2007 Das xine Team. [wmv3 @ 0x8f78060] Extra data: 8 bits left, value: 0 xiTK received SIGSEGV signal, RIP.
When I go into YAST/sound my sound card is shown, and everything works pretty well, however, when I set the volume (other/volume), then exit and come back in, the volume levels are different than when I exited. When I reboot, it sets the master volume to 0%.
After login is always volume level set on 100%. Alsactl store and restore works properly. Manually run: sudo /etc/init.d/alsasound reload reset volume level into proper level, but after login to Gnome is always volume level 100%,Here are some logs:
I have problem with downloading files from web page of my school. When I click on download, it will ask for location to save and when I choose one (for example home or desktop), the page freezes, but firefox is still running, so I just have to close the tab. I tried it also with chromium with same result, but it produced some error log. I tried flash player 10.3 and 10.2 - same result. I also tried installing flash-player-gnome, but no luck. On linux mint 9 64-bit everything works perfectly.note: flash player can play movies (for example on .....). I can download files, that aren't downloaded with flash player.error log:

Have been having some problems with Libreoffice Writer crashing every time I try to save a file that contains any kind of multimedia (usually images) so I decided to completely remove the app and any trace of it and start again.
After complete removal I reinstalled from the Opensuse repo 3.3.1
The porblem I have now is that when I start typing in writer absolutely nothing happens. Wait approximately one minute and the text I typed appears. Try to backspac to delete or type some more and the behaviour persists.
I would want to record/edit/save music from the microphone (convert a tape to CD). But. I start audacity, leave everything at default, record the music, and play back. It plays agonisingly slow. I can change the sample rate manually such that it sounds good, but this is just a guess (I could for example measure the recording time, and adjust the sample rate after that, such that the displayed time on the timeline fits this time). Why the hell do I need to do this? Why is the recording sample rate = playbe sample rate not producing correct output?
Added the following line to sources.list: deb [URL] squeeze main non-free After that I did an update and upgrade. The following packages were kept back : ffmpeg libavcodec52 libavdevice52 libavformat52 libcairo2 libpostproc51 libswscale0 mplayer ( libcairo2 is on hold ).
To overcome this I did: apt-get install mplayer The following extra packages will be installed: liba52-0.7.4 libartsc0 libbs2b0 libdirac-decoder0 libfaac0 libggi2 libggiwmh0 libgii1 libmp3lame0 libopencore-amrnb0 libopencore-amrwb0 libvdpau1 libx264-104 libxvidcore4 It ends like: Unpacking replacement mplayer ...

I've customized my ubuntu setup using many themes and icon packs and now have it just the way I like it but every time I create a new user account it resets to the default interface. Is there any way to save the current configuration I have (theme, icons etc.) as default?
I run ubuntu 9.10 and i've set up my drivers/music player/themes/browser etc just the way i like them. However I now want to install XP and dual-boot. My hard drive is not partitoned, so I want to ask if there is a way to save my setup to use after installing XP.
I use gnome-mplayer 1.0.0 and Totem Movie Player 2.30.2 to view videos Both read subtitles well from srt files. But both are not able to read {a6} command in the srt files.
NOTE:- {a6} command serves the purpose of putting the subtitles on top of the screen, making it possible for subbers to display lyrics/additional footnotes on top, while at the same time, having the dialogues to show in their usual position.
Is there are way to force either of them to read the special commands properly?
