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.
This is the result of reading lots of advice on this forum and elsewhere--thought I'd put it into one post for people's convenience. Picked up the latest tarball at [URL]... Unpacked the tarball with tar -zxvf nameofball.tar.
Loaded the following packages that it depended on: sudo apt-get install build-essential libtagc0-dev gperf libunistring-dev pkg-config zlib1g-dev libconfuse-dev libavahi-client-dev libsqlite3-dev libavcodec-dev libavformat-dev libswscale-dev libmxml-dev libevent-dev libavl-dev libantlr3c-dev libgcrypt11-dev libflac-dev libogg-dev libtagc0-dev libasound2-dev .
Ran ./configure --prefix=/usr --sysconfdir=/etc --localstatedir=/var --enable-flac --enable-musepack. Fix any errors that show up by tracking down a dependency that I hadn't listed above. Keep on running until it has no errors. Then make; sudo make install. I had installed checkinstall, so I ran make; sudo checkinstall -D instead.
Then to set up the system:
Code:
#make an init.d script (the script I used is at the end of this post)
sudo -e /etc/init.d/forked-daapd
sudo chmod +x /etc/init.d/forked-daapd
sudo update-rc.d forked-daapd defaults

For quite some time now, I've been trying to implement a multi-threaded or forked TCP server to perform the following action:1) Listen for new connections on all ip addresses on a specific port.2) Wait for a new connection to arrive3) When a new connection coms in, fork or thread to free up the listening process so it can go back to #2.When handling a client after it's been forked/threaded4) Get the connected client's ip address.5) Perform some in-house processing;6) Read the data sent from the client (checking for http connections)7) Perform some more processing;8) Write some data back to the client based on the above processing9) Close the socket/thread/forkI've tried implementing an solution similar to the multi-threaded example show here http://perl.active-venture.com/pod/p...-sockets.html; as well as looking at the CPAN solutions Net:aemon and POE::Component::Server::TCP but these don't seem to give me the information needed.The active-venture solution provides me with what I need, but randomly exits without reason/error and when attempting to change the 'for' loop to a 'while' loop, it keeps throwing up different errors.

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 downloaded the codecs from slakbuilds and installed but mplayer still complains about missing codec for mwv format
View 10 Replies View RelatedI 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)
View 4 Replies View RelatedI 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.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI 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.
View 14 Replies View RelatedI'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)
View 3 Replies View RelatedThe 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.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI'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
I'm running SLackware64 13.1 and today I notice if I play a video in Mplayer and select half size, my box freezes.

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.

View 3 Replies View Relatedor any conversion I suppose. My question is simple: How do I use this command: mplayer -ao pcm *.m4a -ao pcm:file="*.mp3" to convert whole directories and place the converted tracks into another directory. The way it's listed above it will convert all songs with a .mp4 extension into a single file with a .mp3 extension. Which of course, is not what I want, but I know of no other way to use this command.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI'm having a problem running Mplayer in Ubuntu 9.1. I've installed and uninstalled several times. Mplayer refuses to open from the applications menu.n I attempt to open from terminal it comes up with the following: mplayer: error while loading shared libraries: /usr/lib/i686/cmov/libavcodec.so.52: file too short I've also tried other players such as Gnome Mplayer to play the video and it plays really fast with no audio or video. This has really been the only problem i've run into since switching from windows to linux two weeks ago.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI've installed both mplayer and mplayer-gui packages, but I cannot find and launch mplayer with graphical interface. I want the classic mplayer's gui and seems that isn't there after installed. Doesn't appear ind applications on launcher and when I'm trying to run from terminal the mplayer-gui command I get the error:command not found. So, where is mplayer-gui and how to get it back. This problem doesn't exist in any previous ubuntu version.
