First I've compiled and installed lame and xvid with --prefix=/usr.
Then I've compiled and install mplayer with --prefix=/usr.
Checking for libmp3lame ... yes (in FFmpeg: yes)
Checking for Xvid ... yes
mencoder -ovc help shows xvid (it works) but no mp3lame at all. And mplayer uses ffmpeg [ffmp3float], which extremely distors tracks. I'm sure it's not alsa, because music played online sounds normal.
i'm trying to rebuild mplayer and facing the same error - lame-devel package can't be found as when i try to use rpmbuild. I'm not sure why and how to fix it. Here are steps and information:
I need to install these packages LAME MP3 Encoder, Libogg + Libvorbis, Mencoder and also Mplayer, FFMpeg-PHP, GD Library 2, CGI-BIN on a centos . I searched the Google but most of the wget commands are not working because the links are not active links and I get error message failed: Connection timed out. Does anyone know where to get these packages with explanation of how to install them?
Ok, so I find myself ripping audio CDs frequently, which I then lame to mp3's to put on my media player. I usually define the --ta and --tl (artist and album) ID3 tags and batch encode each album, but don't bother with the track tags as I'd have to do each one seperately.
So, I'm working on a script to do all this for me, extracting info from 'pwd' etc. to fill in the blanks for --ta, --tl and --tt (track name). All is working well, except that I can't get sed to pass on the "" character to lame to escape spaces.
Here's what I've got so far: (trouble spot is bolded - no need to pay attention to the rest of it)
Code:
All this does is pass a 'space' on to lame, which it takes as an invalid argument.
how to use lame to convert wav files to mp3. When using K3B sometime later, I noticed that mp3 was now listed as an option for the formats I could rip CD tracks in. I'm pretty sure it was never in the list before, and it says not just "mp3" but "mp3 (lame)" so it is obvious that my installing lame made mp3 an option in this list.The thing is, it doesn't work. I've tried burning in mp3 now, and every time, some error prevents it. The debugging output says:
Quote:
System ----------------------- K3b Version: 1.0.5
KDE Version: 3.5.10
[code]...
and the error message, showing the command that failed, is shown in this screenshot I attached. (It wouldn't let me copy the text to the clipboard.)Any idea why it doesn't work? If I could rip tracks as MP3 in K3B, I could rip them all at once, and it would be much faster than using the lame command on each file in a terminal window.
I have maverick meerkat. I'm tryting to play a video but it has a VP7 codec and VLC will not play it. I installed mplayer but it doesnt show up in the sound and video menu options. I have Movie Player but not Mplayer Movie Player?
Linux 2.6.21.5, GNU (Slackware 12.0) MPlayer 1.0rc2-4.1.2
Although mplayer is not a part of the Slack distros, I think the issue is more in connection with the system setup and thefore I place this post in this forum. What is it with mplay- er? I've installed and reinstalled slackware 12.0 many times. And each time I have built mplayer from the sources and it has run fine. In the one before the last slack 12 installation, with subsequent building and installation of MPlayer, some- thing went wrong. And the same can be said of the present installation. Every source mplayer reproduces, it does it fine, with the exception of CD-ROM. No matter the CD-ROM I insert (I have them of the highest quality, bought out of the shelf) or the CD-ROM unit I use. The result is always the same: the sound is faulty, as if the machine had not enough speed. And I repeat. MPlayer played CD-ROMs fine in the past and under the same conditions. Or almost the same conditions, because something must obviously have changed.
Some additional data:
(a) Window$MediaPlayer plays them fine on the same machine.
(b) I invoke it from the physical console.
(c) KsCD under xfce plays them fine.
(d) I am able to load an o.s. from both CD-ROM units on the machine. All the more so, should audio be "correcty" read off the CD.
(e) Now I remember the last time I compiled mplayer with GUI support.
I have downloaded mplayer svn slackbuild script for slackware 12.2 and converted into tgz package and installed it on my slackware 12.2 system. I was using it with slackware 12.2 early and it worked fine. i formated my hard disk to give slackware 13 a try. and later when i installed slackware 12.2 and installed mplayer it is not opening i mean not initializing when i click mplayer icon from the multemedia menu or if i click a videofile and tell it to open with mplayer both ways its not working i tried reinstalling mplayer but still not working.
ready some 3gp files so had to install the w32codecs and mplayer version from the medibuntu repository. Now I can play back these files perfectly with mplayer from teh command line but when I open them with smplayer there is no video, just (choppy) sound. Xine also plays them back now although it didn't before. I know the first time I ran smplayer on this installation I had to choose which version of mplayer it was running with but don't know if I can do this again to tell it to use the installed medibuntu mplayer. I'm at a bit of a loss as to why the front-end smplayer would not simply play files with the exact same results as mplayer from the CLI. I haven't rebooted since,
How can I get mplayer to play files over the network? It seems like I am not the only one that wants this feature. Does anyone got a work around for this?
Some DVDs do often have some scenes with foreign languages translated by forced subtitles.Mplayer gives the possibility to enable or disable subtitles.But if enabled you see the whole movie subtitles unnecessarily.If disabled there are no subtitles altough they were necessary translating some scenes with foreign languages.
I have noticed that recently, cannot tell after which update, my mplayer does not scale to full screen. It just shows the movie in the center of the screen with black frame around it.I do not know how tightly it may be related, but xine-check says my X server does not support YV12 overlays (twice, BTW, so there must be a bug in its message file) and has no XVideo support.Is it normal in current for now? The card is X1200 (R690)
I have installed slackware 13.1 on my friends laptop. Its an msi laptop . dual core 2ghz, 1gb ram nividia 9000 series.etc. everything is fine but after installing mplayer codecs from slackbuild and also xvidcore, i am not able to play avi files in mplayer. It is giving me a fatal error saying. error initializing -vo device. i tried to change the video driver. it was by default xv then i tried X11(xvid) then open gl and open gl with max textures . when i made it to open gl with max textures the video out came but it is lagging with the audio.
I recently setup my X to work well with the newer version of the ATI driver for my Radeon 3650, however no matter what I do, I can't get mplayer to scale to fullscreen. Something that xine has no trouble with. I have tried the x11, sdl, xover, gl, and gl2 outputs which all make no difference. Am I missing an output, or is something not working as it should? In particular, why is xine fine, while mplayer stumbles? As an unrelated question, it is possible to set mplayer to skip to a next file in a directory? From what I could tell, it does not seem to have this functionality built in.
I'd like to know if there's a way to disable system suspension during mplayer playback, I'm using kde 4.4.2 by AlienBob on my slackware64-current, and powerdevil as the power manager. In powerdevil I've setup the performance profile to suspend the system after 30 minutes with no user interaction, and the presentation profile is setup not to use suspension at all, but I always forget to switch the profile before playing some long video on mplayer and the system goes down after 30 minutes of playback.
Does someone knows a way, a hidden mplayer setting (powerdevil setting would be ok too) that lets me disable suspension only when mplayer is working and nobody is using the system for more than 30 minutes??
I am having trouble getting sound to work through hdmi, I changed the device in the kde settings for multimedia and it now works in Amarok but Mplayer and VLC are refusing.
This is the error i am getting with mplayer:
I have disabled my sound card in the bios to save confusion (on my part) Upgraded my kernel to 2.6.37. My gfx card is a NV gt 430 xt
Is there a way to run a short mplayer ascii video clip after the boot messages?I've got some video of a shark that I can play with the mplayer ascii feature (mplayer -vo aa -monitorpixelaspect 0.5 file.avi)
The intent is to use Mplayer without X or any other window manager/GUI to watch movies on TV. A simple 'mplayer movie.avi' command works fine, except that it locks out the keyboard and mouse. We're using the latest mplayer and slack 13.0 with the 2.6.29.6 kernel. Using mplayer under X presents no problems, but the use of anything but the console is NOT possible now. The whole problem is figuring out what to do to regain control of the keyboard.
I'm currently viewing all my video and DVD stuff on two different desktops (CentOS and Kubuntu), each with a combination of MPlayer and VLC. Now I'm considering doing everything only with an "MPlayer-on-steroids" build for Slackware 13.37. Basically, I like the one-app-per-task approach. But first things first.
1) I'm basically using this script here as a starting point for my build: [URL] What libs (from slackbuilds.org) would be reasonable to include before the build to support playback of the most common - and the odd exotic - video formats? The thing with MPlayer is that ./configure --help spits out a gazillion of options
2) Until now I've only used the no-GUI version of MPlayer, since the default interface seems to me almost unusable. Now I understand there are several new frontends available for MPlayer. Is there one that works OK for DVD playback, e. g. enables you to select chapters, languages and subtitles without having to jump through burning loops?
Have anyone tried enabling libvdpau, libva (vaapi) and MPlayer with the proprietary Nvidia driver? Does it actually work on slackware stable/current? (Lower cpu utilization during HD decoding) Is this the correct installation workflow?
I have a display problem since updating to Slackware 13.37. Everything was fine on Slackware 13.1, but when I switched to 13.37 some piece of software came up with the wrong monitor size. I have a 1600x900 LCD monitor but the X screen came up as 1024x768 with blackness on either side of it. Under Slackware 13.1 the X screen came up as 1600x900 as it should without any prompting from me; I didn't even have an Xorg.conf file. I tried using the Xorg.conf file which was needed and work for older Slackwares, eg 12.*, but it didn't work. (Saying it didn't work is a gross understatement! That old Xorg.conf completely screwed up mouse, keyboard, and monitor; the screen was flashing and nothing worked. The only way to get control back was to SSH into the machine from my laptop and reboot. Killing the X server via that SSH console did NOT the flashing or get me back to my console login; only reboot worked.)
I find I can get the screen to be the right size manually by going through KDE's "System Settings" --> "Display and Monitor" --> "Size & Orientation", then disabling "LVDS1" and setting VGA1 to 1600x900. The size of my odd-sized monitor is being correctly detected for the "Auto" choice. Upon reboot LVDS1 stays disabled but VGA1 reverts to 1024x768 so I have to do this each time.I've done some search of the on-line literature regarding the error messages I am seeing in the boot log.
People are suggesting changing all kinds of things to alleviate the side effects of the "conflicting" error message above, even modifying GRUB parameters (which won't work for me since I use LILO).So, I have a manual work around which I must do each time I log in. Does someone know how I can get X or KDE to force 1600x900 upon start (while Linux/X/whoever find and fix the problem) or does someone know of a real fix?
This should be a very elementary question. I have a URL like http://SERVERNAME/file.wmv. When I enter it in "Open Location" in gnome-mpLayer it connects to the server and plays the stream. But when I run
mplayer "URL"
in the terminal I get a crazy endless loop of
Playing URL. Resolving SERVERNAME for AF_INET6... Couldn't resolve name for AF_INET6: SERVERNAME Resolving SERVERNAME for AF_INET... Connecting to server SERVERNAME[xxx.xx.xxx.xx]: 80... Cache size set to 320 KBytes
I think my usage of mplayer in the terminal is correct, since I can watch other URL's.It's only this specific one that doesn't work (I am not authorized to write the URL because they want it to be private.So my question is: Does anyone know why I get this loop? Or is it possible to see how mplayer is called by gnome-mplayer and what output messages it generates?I use gnome-mplayer 0.9.9.2 and mplayer 1.0rc4-4.4.5 on Ubuntu 10.10.
