TV output:
~~~~~~~~~~
If you have a Matrox G400 Dual-Head card, you can watch movies on TV,
using TV-out feature of the second head. You must have matroxfb support
enabled in your kernel (2.4.x kernels). You don't need X11 for this!
Tested only with PAL TV!
If you have a Matrox G400 Dual-Head card, you can watch movies on TV, using
the TV-out feature of the second head. Read DOCS/TVout-G400 for details!
cd TVout
./modules
./cloning or ./independ
./TV-704x528 (or another TV* script)
Sending bugreports:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Sending bugreports, comments, feature requests etc:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
First please read all the docs in this package, most of the problems are
described somewhere. At least read the Troubleshooting section!
We don't like answering questions which are already answered in this
readme or other docs.
You should try the latest development version (from CVS) too, maybe your bug
is already fixed, but the new version hasn't been released.
If you couldn't solve the problem, then send a quality bugreport
via E-Mail to the MPlayer-users list : mplayer-users@lists.sourceforge.net
described somewhere. At least read DOCS/BUGS ! We don't like answering
questions which are already answered in this readme or other docs.
*NEVER* send attached AVIs, MPEGs, or any big files to this list or private!!!
Upload them to ftp://thot.banki.hu/MPlayer/incoming , and inform the list
about your upload.
Read the FAQ. Most common problems are answered there!
Please include these:
- your kernel version number ('uname -a')
- linux distribution and glibc version (example: Slackware 7.1 + glibc 2.1.3)
- gcc and binutils version ('gcc -v' and 'as --version')
- your X11 version (example: X 4.0.2 + DRI snapshot2001jan12)
- video card vendor/model (example: Matrox G400 DH MAX AGP)
- sound card model+driver (example: Creative SBLive! with OSS (kernel) )
- CPU vendor and type (example: Intel Celeron2-566 at 850MHz)
You should try the latest development version (from CVS) too, maybe your
bug is already fixed, but the new version hasn't been released.
If you couldn't solve the problem, then send a quality bugreport:
read DOCS/BUGREPORTS for instructions (where, what and how...)
Also include the required logs (as attachment, may be compressed zip/gz/bz2)
depending the problem type (see bellow at Troubleshooting section).
Do not send level-0 logs, always use the mplayer option '-v' when making log:
./configure &>configure.log
make &>make.log
mplayer -v test.avi &>play.log
If we ask you for the file, then you have two choices:
- upload the file to ftp://thot.banki.hu/MPlayer/incoming (at least a few
megabytes)
- send the exact URL of the file, and we'll download it soon.
Please do not ask for features already listed in the TODO!
Troubleshooting:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1. Please read the docs first...
2. If you have compiling problems:
- if you are an experienced programmer, please try to fix it, and send
us the patch
- if gcc reports problems around inttypes.h, try to copy DOCS/inttypes.h
to the directory where the error occured. (or upgrade glibc to 2.1/newer)
- if gcc reports problems around video_out_gl.c, try disabling OpenGL
support: ./configure --disable-gl (you have broken OpenGL headers/libs)
- if you are a user, send us a bugreport (see above), including these:
- output of ./configure
- output of make
- config.h and all of config.mak files
Note: many users reported that SSE was not detected while running on P3.
Current stable 2.2.x kernels does NOT support SSE, so you can't use it
without patches or using the 2.4.x series. (or try latest 2.2.19 or newer)
3. If you have a problem with the player, please run it with -v option, and
send the output of it, with a detailed description of the problem.
- can't play AVI files: check that codec .DLL and .ACM files are installed to
/usr/lib/win32/ and are all lowercase (divxc32.dll instead of DivXc32.DLL)
4. If you have a file-specific problem (can't play a special file,
crashes with it or similar) then please run with -v -v -v (debug level 3).
Send us the output and the problem description via email bugreport.
We may ask you to upload the file.
- if it segfaults with an AVI file with MP3 audio, try with -afm 1 or -afm 4
- if it's still bad, try with -nosound
5. If you have problem with display driver, please first check the list above,
many of them isn't yet capable to AVI playing, and some of them are
untested and/or unfinished.
6. If you have speed problems (too slow playing), then please first check that:
- you don't use OpenGL driver while have software-only opengl (Utah-GLX
disabled, or not yet installed, conflicting libs installed, or your
hardware not supported etc...)
- you have set up MTRR registers properly (many new cards are really
slow without setting up MTRR registers. it's NOT done by X 3.3.x! Also,
there are older K6-2's, which lack MTRR support /stepping=0/).
Check DOCS/MTRR !
- you have a fast machine (don't report that your 386 can't play DivX)
- try with Null output (-vo null) and check CPU usage (first % value)
7. sound-related problems:
- maybe your card doesn't support 48kHz playback and the movie requires it.
- try MPlayer with the -noalsa option
- compile MPlayer with --disable-select
- delayed audio with some AVI files: try with -bps or -nobps option!
- if you experienced delayed audio, try to compensate with -delay or -abs.
you can specify audio card's buffer size in bytes with -abs option, or
specify audio delay in seconds (positive/negative float) with -delay
for example: mplayer -alsa -delay -0.75 test.avi
mplayer -abs 65536 -delay 0.3 test.mpg
- to play AVI files with VBR MP3 audio use the -mc 0 option!
- no sound at all: check that you have working OSS driver (/dev/dsp),
and it isn't used by another program (for example esd, xmms etc.)
- use OSS. If the problem persists, use ALSA ;)
8. unsupported codecs (AVI files):
Check DOCS/CODECS
Subscribe to the mplayer-users mailing list. There are many MPlayer
users, maybe they can help or know the solution to your problem.
You also should send ideas, feature requests, comments to there!
Please do not ask for features already listed in the DOCS/TODO!
