 Posted: Mon Oct 28, 2002 5:22 am Post subject: MPlayer GUI problem |
 |
|
If I run a move from the command line everything seems fine but if I try to run a movie from the mplayer gui I get a error:
| Code: |
Error opening/initializing the selected video_out (-vo) device!
|
The output from mplayer (-v used) looks something like:
| Code: |
VIDEO: MPEG1 320x240 (aspect 1) 29.97 fps 750.0 kbps (93.8 kbyte/s)

it has something to do with the pci scan - when i want to use xvidix driver i have to | Code: | | chmod +s /usr/bin/mplayer |
, but by doing this you won't be able to use gui, because gtk reports that it wont work with "+s mod", but commandline is better than the gui, so thats not the problem[/code] |

Hi,
Are you selecting a video output mode on the command link? To see if mplayer will work, you could try the lowest level of video output by using
| Code: |
mplayer -vo xv (or x11 I think)
|
If this works you then need to figure out what driver you need to select to work with your graphics card. You may have selected the incorrect driver.

for graphical of course try | Code: | | gmplayer -vo xv (or x11) |
btw.. is it normal that the GUI eats up to 20% cpu time.. even if nothing is playing? strange.. |

The mplayer gui just allows videooutputs of the type: X11, XV abd XVIDIX. No GL or GL2 or anything else......
XVIDIX also needs root-rights... So you are only able to use XV and X11 as user...
But if you use a Radeon8500, it doesn't have XV-support (yet)...
So use mplayer without GUI or with X11 Output (Sloooooow)

I see from your output that you have a mach64 graphic chip (laptop I assume).
Is it possible that you use the (still bleeding edge) DRI drivers for your chip to get some 3d on your screen?
In that case - these drivers don't have xv support yet, but there is a patch at
http://www.retinalburn.net/linux/dri_xv.html
I've tested the binary ones and they work great (no time yet to compile the cvs).
Btw. I also had the black screen problem, that's why I assumed this config on your machine - if i'm wrong - who cares.

Cheers so far but still no go.
Jesore - No actually the only graphics card in this computer is a Monster Fusion 3d (3dfx) and that has only been specified in x config. Not sure where that stuff popped up from.
Any chance this might be related to running through VNC as opposed to straight X? I'm thinking it is more to do with the different chipsets it tries ie:
| Code: |
No vidix driver name provided, probing available ones!
vidixlib: PROBING: /usr/lib/mplayer/vidix/mach64_vid.so
[mach64] Error occured during pci scan: Operation not permitted
vidixlib: PROBING: /usr/lib/mplayer/vidix/mga_crtc2_vid.so
|
But haven't found anywhere to change it. Thanks for the help so far everyone |
