I am using Ubuntu 10.10. At some point gnome-mplayer (and gecko-player) have stopped working. Try open any audio or video file there is nothing (the progress bar just shows "stopped"). However, Smplayer is working flawlessly for both video and audio files so I am sure it is not a mplayer problem
I have delete the folder .conf/gnome-mplayer but nothing changes.
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?
I use Gnome mplayer but it freeze random when playing videos and just show a black screen without sound and if i simply press backward or forward button to send it 10 sec forward or backward it will continue to play video until it freeze again.sometimes it takes seconds to freeze and sometimes half an hour or more.
I'm just curious if anybody knows how to change the default settings in gnome-mplayer from it using video0 as the video input (which is my built-in webcam), to say video1 (which is my external usb tv tuner). There is no gui option for this.
My issue is not being able to use it for analog video, though it's not a huge deal because I figured out the same very thing for tvtime (video0 to video1). It'd just be another option.
Lubuntu 11.04 on laptop (PIII ATI Rage Mobility). Playing a WMV or MPEG file, system freezes when playback ends. I have not tried any other formats.
I looked at mplayer Preferences
In the Player tab, "Video Output" was blank - I set it to "x11"
This corrected the freeze problem, at least the first time that I tried it. However, it did not seem to persist through multiple plays of the MPEG file, whether or not accompanied by an mplayer quit and rerun or a reboot, even though I did not change the parameters. I tried setting vo=x11 in the etc/mplayer/config file, but that did not help. It is sporadic. It will work a few times with the MPEG file, then hang, for no apparent reason. One thing it does seem to do consistently is hang on the WMV file, regardless of the vo setting, and on both files, when vo is not specified (what I started with). This is a time-consuming task, with a reboot on every failure, and I have run out of ideas on what to try next. When it hangs on the MPEG file I noticed that the elapsed time ends up at 20 sec, even though the video total time is 16 sec. When it doesn't hang, the elpased time goes to 20 sec, then returns to 16 sec.
I'm running Ubuntu 10.10 Maverick Meerkat 64-bit on my desktop with a wired internet connection (with no firewall). For the past 2 days, I have observed that1. Firefox randomly throws up errors like "Problem loading page" whenever I click on a hyperlink. When I click on Reload, the page loads up just fine. This has been happening a lot recently..and I do not remember updating anything consciously. By the way, ipv6 is disabled in Firefox.2. The network stops working all of a sudden (usually indicated by the Firefox error). The Autho Eth0 indication is active, but I am unable to connect to any external machine.
3. Needless to say, this error is manifesting itself in apt-get as well. I get "something wicked happened" errors all the time, and am unable to download or install anything.That this is not a problem with the ISP is obvious because I also have Windows (from which I'm typing this, ironically), which is able to access the internet.Is this a bug in Ubuntu 10.10?
I am trying to get mplayer-vaapi working on my system, so I can watch 1080p videos with hardware acceleration (and to remove the tear effect).
Anyway I am having trouble getting VA Api to work correctly. I have extensively google-ed around, and I cannot find a way to fix this problem.
Here is the output for vainfo (the error from vainfo is the same as mplayer-vaapi):
Code: libva: libva version 0.31.1-sds1 Xlib: extension "XFree86-DRI" missing on display ":0.0". libva: va_getDriverName() returns 0
[Code].....
but I have found that:
1. The Xlib error shouldn't matter 2. I do have an fglrx_drv_video.so file in /usr/lib/va/drivers 3. I have installed the latest libva amd64 deb package 4. I have installed the latest xvba amd64 deb package
I am running Lucid on 2.6.34-020634-generic kernel (with a patched fglrx module). I have an ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5800 Series card.
Also before I found the deb package for libva I followed this tutorial to compile it (some things had to be tweaked for it to compile successfully) [URL]. But I did reinstall libva when I found the .deb package.
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 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 am "fleshing out" my USB flash drive Netbook Remix of Ubuntu and have run into a snag on getting Mplayer Movie Encoder to work. Synaptics eventually showed 28 new packages will be installed which was done. But, the skin showing the "controls" (fast forward, pause etc) is dead. I am using the USB flash on a HP desktop and all other Remix features work well. Plus the Nvidea gui card fills my 19" flat screen exquisitely well. And, the stick works very nicely on my Acer Netbook (aspire one 250) too.
I am running Ubuntu 9.10 on an HP dc5100MT workstation. Sound works nearly all the time, but once in a while, the sound stops and I have no idea why. The channel is not muted, the volume is 100%, and not even rebooting fixes it. It will just start working on its own.Under the Sound Preferences panel, the output volume is 100%. The channel is not muted. I can get sound out of the internal speaker by changing the connector to "Analog Output (LFE) / No Amplifier", but not out of the "Analog Output / Amplifier" which is the green sound cable plugged into the sound card.I only use this machine as a video player using VLCNothing else.I would like to know some tricks to isolate and troubleshoot this when it happens.
When I'm running a flash site like, Pandora, it stops working when I open another tab with flash running like, Hulu. Now it doesn't stop working right away but in time it does.
Then screen on that tab usually goes grey.
Now this doesn't happen all the time but enough to get me flustered.
Routinely, while I'm working on my laptop, the sound will randomly stop working and I can only get it back by rebooting. I can't seem to find any sort of pattern to what gets it to stop working, but I do have the following programs almost always running: Evolution, Chrome, Transmission, and Pidgin. I usually notice it first when Pidgin stops beeping when I receive IMs.
In the messages log I see lots of messages like this when the audio stops working:
Code: Nov 9 10:35:04 jbirdjavi-l-u pulseaudio[2031]: sink-input.c: Failed to create sink input: sink is suspended. Nov 9 10:35:42 jbirdjavi-l-u pulseaudio[2031]: last message repeated 7 times Nov 9 10:38:18 jbirdjavi-l-u pulseaudio[2031]: sink-input.c: Failed to create sink input: sink is suspended.

My problem is this: when I suspend, sound disappears, and I have to reboot to get it back, which is, needless to say, rather annoying. I'm using Ubuntu 11.04, with a low-latency kernel.
I have three sound cards: 1) Delta 1010LT, which uses snd_ice1712 2) Sound Blaster Audigy 2, which uses snd_emu10k1 3) Some on-board Realtek thingy, which I guess uses snd_hda_codec_realtek
I use jack on the Delta1010LT, and I run pulseaudio through jack.
When, after a suspend, I try to restart jack via qjackct, it gives up and prompt the following:
Code: Acquire audio card Audio1 creating alsa driver ... hw:M1010LT|hw:M1010LT|128|2|44100|0|0|nomon|swmeter|-|32bit Using ALSA driver ICE1712 running on card 1 - M Audio Delta 1010LT at 0xec00, irq 16 configuring for 44100Hz, period = 128 frames (2.9 ms), buffer = 2 periods code....
I've just installed Ubuntu Karmic on a HP pavilion AMD 64 bit.I've a weird problem: the microphone works good, but using skype 2.1 beta, it stops working when te my webcam. Even after restarting skype, the microphone doesn't work. To make the microphone work, it seems to me that I've to reboot.
I have 10.04 (kernel 2.6.32-22) and have noticed that whenever i have Rhythmbox running; the keyboard stops working in any apps. As soon as I close Rhythmbox, they work again!
As the title implies, the sound on my rig stops working after a while. Annoying as hell: I have to reboot my machine to get it to work again, which means that I have to reset my entire programming environment (with five full workspaces). I'm running 9.10 Karmic.
I just upgraded to 10.4 lts, and compiz stoped working. EDIT: lspci | grep VGA gives me:
Code: 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Mobile GM965/GL960 Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 03) If I try to run it from terminal i get: Code: Xlib: extension "GLX" missing on display ":0.0". Xlib: extension "GLX" missing on display ":0.0".
Playing a song works at first; then it quits after 1-5 minutes. If you select a different output device, it will work for another 1-5 minutes, but switching back to an already used up device will not play sound. Running 'sudo killall pulseaudio' resets everything and each output device works for another 1-5 minutes. This is on on 9.10.
Y keY is not working.I changed keYboards and its still the same. It works fine in ttY1 for example and shift Y works too. It works fine within things like openarena... But in gnome it does not. I checked binds and stuff, everYthing seems normal and i havent thouched anYthing related. It just does nothing when i press it alone.
gnome-mplayer --fullscreen file.avi opens file in the window, manually I can switch it to fullscreen but I need to start in fullscreen from command linemplayer -f file.avi opens in fullscreen from the beginning but if to play a list it shows desktop between files how to fix the problem with gnome-mplayer?
I can't install gnome-mplayer on my openSUSE 11.2 I used the " 1-click insall" I also tried manully installation, got below errors # rpm -ivh gnome-mplayer-0.9.9.2-9.1.x86_64.rpm gnome-mplayer-lang-0.9.9.2-9.1.noarch.rpm error: Failed dependencies: MPlayer is needed by gnome-mplayer-0.9.9.2-9.1.x86_64 libmusicbrainz3.so.6()(64bit) is needed by gnome-mplayer-0.9.9.2-9.1.x86_64
