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.

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.

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 running a 32bit system installed slackware 13.1.
i'd like to watch a 720p movie but it doesn't run smoothly. so i tried to install the coreavc codecs.
Did all these instructions step by step:
1- http://code.google.com/p/coreavc-for...erInstallation
2- http://code.google.com/p/coreavc-for...wserverInstall
3- http://code.google.com/p/coreavc-for...ConfigureCodec
never got an error mesage. In my ~/.mplayer/config file I also added vc=coreserve,.
If I start the 720p movie, there aren't any changes. It is still jerking.
I'm not sure that MPlayer is really using the codecs, how can I look if it is using it or not?

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 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??

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?

How users to install the latest svn versions of x264, ffmpeg and mplayer. Primarily, this is important for users who rip movies from dvds.
How do I perform the same tasks using sbopkg? I believe some compilation options must be changed to reflect the svn changes.
Has anyone done this before? Are the steps important when using slackware 13 x86_64?

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?
- libvdpau SBo
- libva SBo
- Nvidia driver SBo/proprietary
- vdpau-video SBo
- ffmpeg/MPlayer from SBo/slackware/alien

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.

I need some help. I'm not exactly new to linux but I'm not an expert either. I decided to try and play around with GRUB and see if I could get the GRUB gui and themes working. Apparently I did something and now, when I start up my computer, all I get is code...
I know little to nothing about grub. I will welcome any and all help or advice with this. Let me know if you need any other information and I will try to post it. Also, I have no idea whether I am running legacy or 2. It originally told me I was running legacy and I attempted to upgrade to 2 but I have no idea if it actually upgraded.

I am having a very serious problem! GRUB won't allow me to start up windows 7. Each time I select it from the prompt, I am given a blank screen with only the cursor blinking and mocking me. Ubuntu works perfectly fine, but when I try to mount the windows 7 volume, it tells me that it is unable to mount the location because of an input/output error. I havnt done anything to make me believe I have caused this abd I am in complete shock that this has even happened. Both operating systems were running completely fine and then suddenly, windows won't boot up.

I'm making script for automated compiling of one program which would output builds optimized for many architectures. For clearancy, I do each build in it's own catalogue and list of builds with their respective catalogues would be stored as array. I'm using this guide as reference. It describes making array as naming a variable with additional brackets denoting it's position in array.
In my code, it looks exactly like this:
Code:
mtune[1]="build/mtune/athlon"
mtune[2]="build/mtune/athlon-4"
mtune[3]="build/mtune/athlon-mp"
[code]....
But upon invoking $mtune or any $mtune[x] variable, output is blank, like the variable(s) were never initialized. What am I doing wrong?

I just tried booting SUSE 11.0, but the system stops at the point it shows "initializing random number generator". I have left the system running at that point for almost 2 hrs, with no way to get past that. System isn't locked up. It has never done this before. How do I fix this?I have also tried failsafe booting, but it stops at the same spot also.

Fedora 9 and a maxtor 500gb external It seems i cant get the hd to initialize (not sure if thats the correct word for it) until I log in as root. I can see the icon on the desktop for it and everything, but when i double click on the icon nothing happens. It also doesnt appear in /media/. If I log out of the user account and log into root, all of the sudden i can open the icon in both root AND the user account. It also shows up in /media/. I'm not sure if its a permissions issue or something else.
ps: using ssh to log into root from another machine makes no difference though, only using X or whatever its called from the physical machine.
