[gentoo-user] smplayer and kmplayer only works (almost) OK as root

[gentoo-user] smplayer and kmplayer only works (almost) OK as root

[Francisco Ares]

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 1237 bytes --]

Hi, All,

I am trying to use smplayer or kmplayer as a regular user. They both don't
work: kmplayer keeps saying that it is waiting mplayer buffering and
smplayer reports "Mplayer has finished unexpectedly. Exit code:1".

Running both as root from a terminal, the following message appeared:


KGlobal::locale::Warning your global KLocale is being recreated with a valid
main component instead of a fake component, this usually means you tried to
call i18n related functions before your main component was created. You
should not do that since it most likely will not work
kmplayer(8687): Session bus not found
To circumvent this problem try the following command (with Linux and bash)
export $(dbus-launch)


I did that export while still as root, and then both started to work, so
there is no problem with them, but some setting is missing. Additionally,
even that export did not work for smplayer/kmplayer as regular user.

What should I do next? Where to look at?

Thanks a lot
Francisco

Is dbus running?  What do you get from:

# /etc/init.d/dbus status

and 

$ echo $(dbus-launch)

Finally, launch mplayer -msglevel all=6 <some_video_file> to see what you get 
on the command line.  You can increase -msglevel 6 up to 9 to get more verbose 
debugging output.  Press q to stop the debugging session - you only need the 
first couple of screenfulls, until it starts the PARSE messages.

Thanks for your reply, Mick

I think I forgot to say: mplayer always works, kmplayer and smplayer don't.

Following your steps (a few words are in my current locale):

the config file is empty and the registry looks like an excerpt of a
few Windoze registry entries. I've renamed the directory .mplayer and
a new one was created. Apparently it affected nothing.

smplayer and kmplayer are front ends for mplayer.  If they do not work there's 
probably something amiss with Qt4 and KDE.

I've asked for this:

This looks OK, but can you please run it as a plain user?

What is a MSWindows registry file doing in there?!  o_O

Talking about apples ... you could add this:

[default]
user-agent=QuickTime/7.6.2

in your ~/.mplayer/config and it will be able to stream HD apple trailers:

mplayer -cache 150000 -user-agent QuickTime/7.6.2 \ 
http://trailers.apple.com/movies/independent/senna/senna-tlr1_480p.mov
  Anyway, back to your original problem.

Are you running an updated Gentoo system?  Did you run 'revdep-rebuild -v -- 
--ask' to see if there is any KDE/Qt packages that need rebuilding?

That was from a plain user... I think.  Just in case, there goes another one:

Strange, isn't it? I thought on wine messing up on things over here.
Deleted it, no effect felt.

Thanks for the tip - noted for processing after all this mess is cleared.

Yes, quite updated and revdep-rebuild didn't need to rebuild anything.

I will try to create a new user, just to see what happens

That hash suggests that you are running the command as root. Type
`whoami' to make sure.

Unless Francisco has changed his prompt to confuse us all?!  :-)

Either way, from what mentioned so far I don't think there is anything wrong 
with mplayer.  Running applications as root confuses matters and can give 
errors not related to running the application as a plain user (which is how it 
should run at all times anyway).

The buffering error however, which you have not shown verbatim, could well be 
related to very high bufferring limit and or a slow connection (if this is 
occurring when you are trying to stream videos - you haven't said).

Can you increase smplayer/mplayer's verbosity in the log and show the exact 
error that comes up when being run as a plain user?
