Since faad makes everything run extremely slowly on my box, I've ripped the audio and encoded it to ogg. Reencoding the movie seems to make it much bigger (by about 60% before adding the audio), and I'm short on hard drive space. Is there any way to leave the video as-is, only replacing the audio?

So you think it was the kernel or something related to that that caused the crash? I have heard of other people also having mplayer crashes with the win32 codecs and quciktime. So that might be a possible solution. If only there was an explaination i could give as to why it occurs |

|
|
XMMPlayer
This one works better then than Xmms-MPlayer, although i am sure the latter will have its bugs sorted out.
XMMPlayer features :
| Quote: |
local file playback of AVI, MPEG, QuickTime and OGG movies using MPlayer
uses magic to detect AVI, MPEG and QuickTime movies (checks for .ogm extension to detect OGG movies)
pause files from within xmms
|
TODO :
| Quote: |
1) stream playback
2) configuration screen
3) seeking / status / title / etc
4) lots and lots of stuff
|
I will be very please to see that project have no. 3 done in the TODO list.

Man, thanks for that, Vanguardist. It was a kernel config issue for me, too.
Even more frustrating, Mplayer was working great on my laptop, but kept barfing out (same errors you were getting) on the desktop. 
A kernel reconfig/recompile fixed it.

I'm a little confused about something....
I saw the tip on the animatrix movies.. (putting both audio channels in one then playing that file, etc)... well, here is the thing, I don't have trouble with any of the movies playing except for the detective story.
All the others I can just do | Code: | | mplayer animatrix.mov |
and they work just fine, but with the detective one i have to extract the audio.....
Anyone have any idea about this one?
Thanks |

Could someone post tips how to play mplayer on the framebuffer, especially when you have one of those nifty splash-screens on the background?

|

I will go through all of the video output drivers for mplayer. The most usefull one is directfb. Basically you should
| Code: |
emerge DirectFB
emerge mplayer |
You need to have set up your kernel for framebuffer support etc.. and then you can play your movie like so :
| Code: | | mplayer -vo directfb -fs movie.avi |
I will go into more detail when i have time during the weekend.
PS : GGI/SDL/Vesa/SVGAlib and fbdev all can run on the frambuffer, directfb generally performs the best. |

This is due to the win32 quicktime codecs used to play the movie. Try rencoding with "v4mv", "vme=1" etc in your "lavcopts" for mencoder. And also do a 2pass encoding.
You can reduce the cpu usage when playing the original, by adding "-pp 0" to your mplayer cmd. |

with the detective eps you need to append the 2 audio channels so that it is in sync. |

Oh it is cool, i just want one feature. The ability to convert already ripped vobs on the harddrive. I do not remember is being able to do that. Otherwise it is quite cool |

m00dawg made step 3 in the audio resyncing a little easier :
| Code: | seconds=`mencoder -aid 2 -ofps 24 -oac copy -ovc copy -o /dev/null the_seccond_renaissance.mov 2> /dev/null | grep "Audio streaam" | awk '{print $10 * 1000}'`
ogmmerge -o the_second_renaissance.ogm -A the_second_renaissance.avi -s $seconds stream.mp3 |

I have been having trouble viewing AVIs with mplayer so I figured I should upgrade. I had a strange error pop up when trying to emerge the latest mplayer. I was trying to emerge it, but would get some sort of error. So I figured my problem might be quicktime related. I added quicktime to my USE list in make.conf. I got this new error after emerging the latest quicktime.
| Code: | bash-2.05b# emerge -u mplayer
Calculating dependencies ...done!
!!! Error: the <dev-perl/File-Spec-0.84-r1 package conflicts with this package and both can't be installed on the same system together. |
Any ideas? BTW, here is my current version info from "emerge -p mplayer":
| Code: | | [ebuild U ] media-video/mplayer-0.90-r2 [0.90_rc5] |
[edit]
Well, I am now at mplayer-1.0pre2 so my problems emerging are not an issue anymore.

|
|
Hi,
This seems like the appropriate thread to ask this and, if not, please feel free to bash me about the head .
I have gotten video to work pretty well save in one area, i.e., video off the internet (I'm using konqueror as my browser). The video for a movie trailer comes through just dandy, but I get no audio.
The problem appears to be that the command konqueror uses to bring up mplayer does not have a 9 after the -ao alsa. Hence, it's trying to output to a sound system that is not recognized.
mplayer -wid 33557770 -slave -vo xv -ao alsa [snipped rest]
Does anybody know which configuration file is behind the execution of this command so that I can fix it in about 2 seconds?
Best,
Alex |

That line is in the kmplayer source. Upgrade, try adding the command line option in kmplayer, or change the source and recompile. I'd recommend upgrading both kmplayer and mplayer and simply changing the audio driver from the configuration dialog. |

|

Hi,
Ok, I tried to re-emerge kmplayer (8.1) and this did not resolve the problem. Unfortunately, I am not that adept at modifying the source code, recompiling, etc., so I wouldn't know where or with what file to start.
Best,
Alex |

First, I use the CVS version of KMplayer with mplayer 1.0pre3-3.2.3. If you don't have these following options or equivalents, then you won't be able to change the command line to run mplayer.
first option :
| Code: | | Settings -> Configure KMPlayer -> General Options -> Output -> Audio driver |
change to Default from MPlayer Config, then add 'ao=alsa9' to ~/.mplayer/config
second option:
Make sure to add the '-ao alsa9' option to the edit box at
| Code: | | Settings -> Configure KMPlayer -> General Options -> Mplayer -> Additional command line arguments |
Doing the second option even works for my version, so I'd try to find that in the options to your version. |

| Oops. Double post. You should probably also file a bug report at bugs.gentoo.org and recommend that the maintainer add a patch to the kmplayer ebuild (which would be very simple), so others don't experience the same trouble. Doing so would be very helpful. |
