|

Many people asked same questions so I decided to write this stuff.

I know that people will never read this but at least i try to

And from now i can say that "read the fuckin' FAQ!" :-)

<B>Q: SDL output doesn't work or compile. Problem is ....
|
||||
</B>A: It is tested with newest SDL (probably runs on 1.1.7+).
|
||||
It does NOT work with 1.1.6, 1.1.5 1.1.4 1.1.3 1.0.4 etc, don't ask.

|

<B>Q: I am still having trouble compiling with SDL support. gcc says something
|
||||
about "undefined reference to `SDL_EnableKeyRepeat'" What's now?
|
||||
</B>A: Where did you install the SDL library? If you installed in /usr/local
|
||||
(the default) then edit the top level config.mak and add
|
||||
"-L/usr/local/lib " after "X_LIBS=" Now type make. You're done!

be prepared for problems)

<B>Q: -xy option doesn't work with x11 driver (-vo x11)
|
||||
</B>A: x11 driver doesn't support scaling, but XF86VidMode support is now
|
||||
used: you must specify the -vm and the -fs switch, and you're done.
|
||||
Make sure you have the right Modelines in your XF86Config file, and
|
||||
try if the DGA driver (and SDL's DGA driver, see VIDEOCARDS) works for you.
|
||||
It's much faster. If SDL's DGA works too, use that, it'll be EVEN
|
||||
faster!

<B>Q: what is the meaning of numbers in the status line?
|
||||
</B>A: see:
|
||||
</B>A: 2.1 V: 2.2 A-V: -0.167 ct: 0.042 57 41% 0% 2.6% 0
|
||||
- </B>A: audio position in seconds
|
||||
- V: video position in seconds
|
||||
- A-V: audio-video difference in seconds (delay)
|
||||
- ct: total A-V sync correction done
|
||||
- frames played (counting from last seek)
|
||||
- video codec cpu usage in percent (for mpeg it includes video_out too!)
|
||||
- video_out cpu usage for avi, 0 for mpg (see above)
|
||||
- audio codec cpu usage in percent
|
||||
- frames needed to drop to maintain A-V sync
|
||||
Most of them are for debug purposes, and will be removed soon.

|
||||
<B>Q: Why is video_out cpu usage zero (0%) for mpeg files?
|
||||
</B>A: It's not zero, but it's built in into codec, so can't be measured separated.
|
||||
You should try to play the file using -vo null and then -vo ... and check
|
||||
the difference to see video_out speed...

<B>Q: OpenGL (-vo gl) output doesn't work (hangup/black window/X11 errors/...)
|
||||
</B>A: your opengl driver doesn't support dynamic texture changes (glTexSubImage)
|
||||
it's known not to work with nVidia's binary shit.
|
||||
it's known to work with Utah-GLX/DRI and Matrox G400 card. Also with
|
||||
DRI and Radeon card. It won't work with DRI others than these.
|
||||
it will not work with 3DFX cards because the 256x256 texture size limit.

<B>Q: ...... works with avifile/aviplay while doesn't with <B>MPlayer</B>
|
||||
</B>A: <B>MPlayer</B> != avifile
|
||||
The only common thing between these players is the Win32 DLL loader.
|
||||
The codecs (dll) sets, syncronization, demultiplexing etc is totaly
|
||||
different and shouldn't be compared.
|
||||
If something works with aviplay it doesn't mean that <B>MPlayer</B> should do

it and vice versa.

<B>Q: Indeo 3.x/4.x movies are viewed upside-down!!!?
|
||||
</B>A: It's a known bug (really it's a bug/limitation of the DLL codec)
|
||||
Try if your vo driver supports the -flip switch.

It's _STRONGLY_ discouraged to use precompiled packages

of <B>MPlayer</B>, since it (currently) _highly_ depends on compile-time

Q: What about DGA driver? I can't find it!!!
|
||||
A: ./configure autodetects your DGA driver. If -vo help doesn't show
|
||||
DGA, then there's a problem with your X installation.
|
||||
Try ./configure --enable-dga (and read VIDEOCARDS)
|
||||
Alternatively, try SDL's DGA driver with '-vo sdl:dga' options.

|

Help me!
|

A: It works only if running as root! It's a DGA limitation.

You should become to root (su -), and try again.

'chmod 750 /usr/local/bin/mplayer'

'chmod +s /usr/local/bin/mplayer'

Q: The fsdga driver doesn't work with my xyz.avi file. Why is that?

from http://dri.sourceforge.net , or use the DRI cvs.

Q: When using Xvideo, I can't play DivX avis with my Voodoo 3/Banshee !

A1: See the previous answer.
|
||||
A2: Since 0.18pre4 we include libavcodec from the ffmpeg package. It contains
|
||||
a C language DivX and OpenDivX decoder. The DivX decoder uses YV12 format
|
||||
for output, thus it should work for you. Compile in libavcodec support.

Q: Umm, what is "IdegCounter" ?
|
||||
A: A mixture of a hungarian and an english word. In english, "Ideg" means
|
||||
"nerve", and is pronounced as something like "ydaegh" . It was first used
|

to measure the nervousness of A'rpi, after some (umm) "mystic" disappearance

<B>Q: I can't compile SVGAlib.. I'm using 2.3/2.4 kernel.
|

</B>A: You have to edit SVGAlib's Makefile.cfg and comment "BACKGROUND = y" out.
|
||||
|
||||
<B>Q: LIRC doesn't work, because ...
|
||||
</B>A: Are you sure you use "mplayer_lirc" instead of "mplayer" ?
|
||||
|
||||
<B>Q: <B>MPlayer</B> exits with something error when using l3codeca.acm
|
||||
</B>A: Check 'ldd /usr/local/bin/mplayer' output. If it contains
|
||||
libc.so.6 => /lib/libc.so.6 (0x4???????)
|
||||
where "?" is any number then it's ok, the error is not here. If it is:
|
||||
libc.so.6 => /lib/libc.so.6 (0x00??????)
|
||||
then there is problem with your kernel/libc. Maybe you are using some
|
||||
security patches (for example Solar Designer's OpenWall patch) which
|
||||
forces loading libraries to very low addresses.
|
||||
Because l3codeca.acm is a non-relocatable DLL, it must be loaded to
|
||||
0x00400000, we can't change this. You should use non-patched kernel,
|
||||
or use <B>MPlayer</B>'s -afm 1 option to disable using l3codeca.acm.

Q: My computer plays M$ DivX AVIs with resolutions ~ 640x300 and stereo mp3
|
||||
sound too slow. When I use -nosound switch, everything is ok (but quiet).
|
||||
A: Those files probably have 48Khz audio, and your soundcard/driver can't play
|
||||
it correctly. Audio downsampling isn't implemented in <B>MPlayer</B> (yet).

<B>Q: <B>MPlayer</B> dies with "<B>MPlayer</B> interrupted by signal 4 in module: decode_video".

use <B>MPlayer</B> on different CPU than it was compiled on.

<B>Q: I got this playing mpeg files: Can't find codec for video format 0x10000001 !

<B>Q: After starting mplayer under KDE(1/2) I just get a black screen and nothing
|

happens, after about one minute the video starts playing.
|

</B>A: The KDE arts sound daemon is blocking the sound device, either wait the time
|

until video starts or you disable the arts-daemon in kontrollcenter.

<B>Q: Subtitles are very nice, the most beautiful I've ever seen, but they slow
|

down the playing! I know it's unlikely...
|

</B>A: After running ./configure , edit config.h and replace #undef FAST_OSD with

#define FAST_OSD . Then recompile.

|

<B>Q: The OSD is flickering!
|

</B>A: You use a vo driver with single buffering (x11,xv). With xv you can change
|

the number of buffers in libvo/vo_xv.c :
|

Increase #define NUM_BUFFERS 1

<B>Q: What's the problem with gcc 2.96 ?
|
||||
</B>A: gcc 2.96 is RedHat's UNOFFICIAL (it can be found only on RedHat sites, or
|
||||
RedHat distributions) and BUGGY gcc release. gcc 2.96 is TOTALLY
|
||||
unsupported by <B>MPlayer</B>, because it simply SKIPS MMX codes, it just does not
|
||||
compile it. Important: this is NOT an <B>MPlayer</B>-specific problem, numerous
|
||||
other projects (DRI, avifile, etc..) have problems with this shit too.

<B>Q: Is there a hint on how to watch QuickTime and RealMedia movies in mplayer?
|
||||
</B>A: There's no way to do it. Therefore these formats deserve to die in flames.
|
||||
Theoretically you can reverse engineer Real codecs built for Linux (they
|
||||
are available as .so files), but in practice that's really difficult, even
|
||||
if you know how the compiler used by Real is making assembler code.
|
||||
As for QuickTime, it's possible to play some old movies and this
|
||||
capability will be added to mplayer soon, but newer clips are all Sorenson
|
||||
encoded, and that codec is built-in deep in the QT executable, there's
|
||||
no way to use it.

<B>Q: I have an nVidia TNT/TNT2 card, and I have a band with strange colours,

right under the movie! Whose fault is this?
|

</B>A: It's the nVidia X driver's. These bugs are ONLY with the TNT/TNT2 cards,
|
||||
and we can't do anything about it, it's not our bug.

Q: What exactly is this libavcodec?
|
||||
A: It's from Gerard Lantau's ffmpeg package (http://ffmpeg.sourceforge.net).
|
||||
It has C language DivX ;-) and OpenDivX codec. Some benchmarks
|
||||
showed that its DivX seems to be even faster than DirectShow codec without
|
||||
preprocessing, and only a few percent slower than ProjectMayo's OpenDivX
|
||||
decoder. It uses YV12 pixel format, so old Voodoo users can use it for YUV.
|
||||
Also, open the possibility to play DivX on virtually every computer that
|
||||
has a C compiler. Kinda great stuff, isn't it?

But until that, '-dvd' does nothing only prints error message.
