I have problems getting smooth video playback with Mplayer. Playback is usually in slow motion.

My HW is:
# lspci | grep -i VGA
00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Haswell-ULT Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 09)

I have followied this Gentoo wiki for the HW config:
http://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Intel

And this wiki for VAAPI (HW acceleration)
http://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/VAAPI
But VAAPI doies not help.

I have not done any specifi tweeking to my xorg.conf

here is my emerge info:

Code:
# emerge --info

The first thing I'd check is to see if this is ONLY mplayer. Does VLC play smoothly? Have you tried mplayer2? Etc.

The same problem occurs for vlc. When I run vlc I get the message:

Code:
Audio output failed:
The audio device "default" could not be used:
No such file or directory.


I have also discovered that the problem with mplayer is mostly related to MP4 files (captured by a GOPRO camera). When I play .mov files from another camera (a Canon D5) sound and video is almost OK (sound leads video by a second or so). In vlc I still get the erorr message, as of above, with .mov files.

Am I possibly missing any support in ffmpeg?

I may have another faulty configuration in my system:

I have both oss and alsa as use flag s in my /etc/portage/make.conf

Code:
USE="bindist mmx sse sse2 -gtk -gnome kde dvd alsa cdr acpi apm crypt cxx dbus dri dvb dvdr fbcon ffmpeg flac foomaticcdb ftp \
gif gimp git gnuplot gtk handbook ipod ipv6 java joystick jpeg jpeg2k kontact latex mp3 mp4 mpeg mplayer multilib networkmanager nntp ogg \
opengl oss pda pdf plasma png quicktime rss sasl scanner sematic-desktop sockets sound spell ssl tiff truetype udev unicode usb \
vaapi vcd wifi X xine xface"


But I have not installed oss. Could this be a cause of my problems?

I removed all configs of OSS. Still same problem.

Video (primarily MP4 files) only play in slow motion in all players I have tried; Mplayer, Kplayer, vlc.

- Slow video-ut
  - Try another -vo drivrutin (-vo help för en lista) or try -framedrop!
- Slow CPU
  - Do not attempt to play too large DVD/DivX on a slow CPU! Try -hardframedrop.
- Corrupt file
  - Try with diferent combinations of -nobps -ni -forceidx -mc 0.
- Slow media (NFS/SMB mounts, DVD, VCD etc.)
  - Try  -cache 8192.
- Do you use  -cache for playing a non-interleaved AVI file?
  - Try -nocache.

Hello,
I think I had the same problem related to sound. For me it was the sound card (playing a video with no sound was ok, but very choppy with the haswell sound card). Video playing eventually crashed
What solved it for me was activating all support in the following kernel parameters :
Device Drivers > Sound card support > Advanced Linux Sound Architecture > PCI sound devices > Intel HD Audio
Hope This helps.

This is what I have before any changes:

Code:
--- Intel HD Audio                                                               
 (64)  Pre-allocated buffer size for HD-audio driver                                 
 [*]   Build hwdep interface for HD-audio driver                                   
 [ ]    Allow dynamic codec reconfiguration                                       
 [ ]   Support digital beep via input layer                                         
 [ ]   Support jack plugging notification via input layer                         
 [ ]   Support initialization patch loading for HD-audio                           
 <*>   Build Realtek HD-audio codec support                                         
 <*>   Build Analog Device HD-audio codec support                                 
 <*>   Build IDT/Sigmatel HD-audio codec support                                   
 <*>   Build VIA HD-audio codec support                                             
 <*>   Build HDMI/DisplayPort HD-audio codec support                               
 <*>   Build Cirrus Logic codec support                                           
 <*>   Build Conexant HD-audio codec support                                       
 <*>   Build Creative CA0110-IBG codec support                                     
 <*>   Build Creative CA0132 codec support                                         
  [ ]     Support new DSP code for CA0132 codec                                     
 <*>   Build C-Media HD-audio codec support                                         
 <*>   Build Silicon Labs 3054 HD-modem codec support                               
  -*-   Enable generic HD-audio codec parser                                         
  (0)   Default time-out for HD-audio power-save mode


Do you mean that you also activated these parameters:
Code:
....
 [ ]    Allow dynamic codec reconfiguration                                       
 [ ]   Support digital beep via input layer                                         
 [ ]   Support jack plugging notification via input layer                         
 [ ]   Support initialization patch loading for HD-audio
 ......
  [ ]     Support new DSP code for CA0132 codec
 ......

Yes, this is what I did anyway. I think that solved the issue for me. I do not see another action I did that may have been related to sound.
Is it the same for you ? Very choppy sound and bad video synchronization ?

Thanks ivanoff,

Yes, exactly: Very choppy sound and bad video synchronization.

I have hopes that this is the root cause, since the output from Mplayer is

Code:
.....
Probable causes, problems and suggestions how to fix this:
- Most likely: broken/buggy audio drive routine
.....

(see my post above)

I'll give it a try and return soon with feedback

I tried to enable the kernel settings as of above. Unfortunately it did not help......

Disapointing.
I also remember having configured the default alsa card to use (périphérique is "device")
Code:
aplay --list-devices
**** Liste des Périphériques Matériels PLAYBACK ****
carte 0: HDMI [HDA Intel HDMI], périphérique 3: HDMI 0 [HDMI 0]
  Sous-périphériques: 1/1
  Sous-périphérique #0: subdevice #0
carte 1: PCH [HDA Intel PCH], périphérique 0: ALC1150 Analog [ALC1150 Analog]
  Sous-périphériques: 1/1
  Sous-périphérique #0: subdevice #0
carte 1: PCH [HDA Intel PCH], périphérique 1: ALC1150 Digital [ALC1150 Digital]
  Sous-périphériques: 1/1
  Sous-périphérique #0: subdevice #0

Code:
more ~my_user/.asoundrc
defaults.pcm.!card 1
defaults.pcm.!device 0

We seem to have a differnce here:

Code:
#  aplay --list-devices
**** List of PLAYBACK Hardware Devices ****
card 0: HDMI [HDA Intel HDMI], device 3: HDMI 0 [HDMI 0]
  Subdevices: 1/1
  Subdevice #0: subdevice #0
card 0: HDMI [HDA Intel HDMI], device 7: HDMI 1 [HDMI 1]
  Subdevices: 1/1
  Subdevice #0: subdevice #0
card 1: PCH [HDA Intel PCH], device 0: ALC292 Analog [ALC292 Analog]
  Subdevices: 1/1
  Subdevice #0: subdevice #0e


I do not have the "ALC1150 Digital" as you have.

This is what my .asoundrc looks like:

Code:
# cat .asoundrc
pcm.!default {
        type hw
        card 1
}

ctl.!default {
        type hw
        card 0
}

Well, it might well be something else after all. Sorry for you. In any case, I came across the following issue on the internet, but I am not sure it's related to your issue.

By the way, does alsa work on itself ? Aplay and the likes ?
