[gentoo-user] (s)mplayer problems

[Helmut Jarausch]

Hi,

I need some advice.

Since a short time I have tremendous problems with mplayer / smplayer 
and I don't know why.

First, vlc works just fine, i.e. video and audio

Second, mplayer produces a segment fault within fglrx (ati-
drivers-12.1-r1 with gentoo-sources-3.2.x)

Third, smplayer does show the video (without a segment fault) but 
doesn't play audio.

How can I isolate the problem?

Many thanks for a hint,
Helmut.

Run mplayer on the command line and see what error it throws. Paste it 
here.

Unfortunately, that's impossible.

mplayer starts, opens a window and then segfaults, i.e. kills Xorg and 
forces me to reboot the machine.

Xorg.0.log.old shows

Does rebuilding mplayer fix it?

Did you read this and follow the advice to work around Xv as mentioned
in the elog?

This release of ati-drivers has a crashing bug when using Xv video.
To avoid this problem, configure your video playback software for
OpenGL output. See https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=391193

Yes, thanks.
I disabled XVideo in my xorg.conf and now mplayer doesn't segfault 
anymore. (It looks like all ati-drivers up to and including 12.1-r1 are 
broken).

Still, I have no sound.

I have re-emerged ffmpeg but still

mplayer displays

Have you tried another video file? Or maybe just try a plain and simple
mp3 file. At first glance I would say, the video you are trying to play
uses an dio codec which mplayer does not understand (Enable it at
compilation./Cannot find codec for audio format 0x161.)

Many thanks, the workaround mentioned in this link fixes the segment 
fault.
Still, audio doesn't work, yet.

It seems mplayer doesn't have the codec required for the WMV format.
You should check mplayer has the win32codecs use flag enabled.  You can
do this with equery or eix (or other equivalent tools).

equery uses mplayer
eix mplayer

Use the information from the the wiki to help you pick the right flags
and required packages:
http://en.gentoo-wiki.com/wiki/MPlayer


For example, the mplayer output posted in another message has the text:

Xlib:  extension "NV-GLX" missing on display ":0".
[vdpau] Error when calling vdp_device_create_x11: 1

The use flag description for vdpau says:

+ + vdpau               : Enables experimental VDPAU support (requires
nVidia video cards) to offload MPEG2/MPEG4/VC1/WMV CPU processing to
video card

Since you have an ATI graphics card in this machine, you can safely
disable the vdpau use flag.


Hope that helps.

Regards,
Carlos

Sorry, but now I'm completely confused.
I've emerge mplayer2 and it DOES play video and SOUND !
But smplayer2 doesn't play sound - no idea why since it invokes 
mplayer2, doesn't it?

Here the output of mplayer2 (which is working fine)

Not as default. You have to define the player in the settings dialog.

Thanks Alex,
I've set the preferences in smplayer (not smplayer2) to invoke mplayer2 
and that works just fine.

Just to be clear: does it segfault when you use "-ao null"?
What about the framebuffer?

Ooops. For the record, that should have been "-vo null". 

ao = audio out
vo = video out
