 |
|
Hi, I'm about to submit a bug to bugs.gentoo.org, I just wanted to see first if someone had an answer or could provide me for any more information to submit to bugs.gentoo.org
The problem is quite simple, I cannot use xvidix with mplayer if it is compiled by portage, but if I compile mplayer by myself with the one on the mplayer official website, xvidix works.
Information :
mplayer from the portage tree : media-video/mplayer-1.0_pre8-r1
mplayer from the official website : MPlayer-1.0pre8.tar.bz2
USE FLAGS : USE="X aac aalib alsa arts dga directfb dvd encode esd fbcon gif jpeg libcaca mad mmx mmxext opengl oss png real rtc sdl sse svga tga theora truetype unicode v4l v4l2 vorbis win32codecs xmms xv xvid -3dfx -3dnow -3dnowext -amr -bidi -bindist -bl -cdparanoia -cpudetection -custom-cflags -debug -doc -dts -dv -dvb -dvdread -enca -ggi -gtk -iconv -ipv6 -jack -joystick -lirc -live -livecd -lzo -matrox -musepack -nas -openal -samba -speex -sse2 -x264 -xanim -xinerama -xvmc"
ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="~x86"
CFLAGS="-O3 -march=pentium3 -pipe -mmmx -msse -mfpmath=sse,387"
VIDEO_CARDS="fbdev"
Note that my system cannot be more up-to-date, I've done emerge sync, emerge -Du world, emerge metadata, fixpackages, revdep-rebuild, perl-cleaner, modules-update
After each installation of mplayer, I do a chmod 4755 mplayer so that my user can use it, I do not use the svgalib_helper module.
Here's the error that shows when trying mplayer from portage, :
| Code: | vidixlib: PROBING: /usr/lib/mplayer/vidix/rage128_vid.so
[rage128] Can't find chip
[VO_SUB_VIDIX] Couldn't find working VIDIX driver.
Error opening/initializing the selected video_out (-vo) device. |
I'm running : mplayer -v -vo xvidix file.avi and mplayer -vo help do shows "xvidix X11 (VIDIX)"
I also modified /usr/portage/media-video/mplayer-1.0_pre8-r1.ebuild and changed this line :
myconf="${myconf} --disable-external-vidix"
to :
myconf="${myconf}"
But xvidix still doesn't work, same error.
Then I created 2 files, one for the ./configure of mplayer from the portage tree and another one for the mplayer official website, here's the diff of these two files, seems like the only things differents between the two are not relevant to vidix.

Finally, there's also in the ebuild, this code :
| Code: | if use svga
then
myconf="${myconf} --enable-svga"
else
myconf="${myconf} --disable-svga --disable-internal-vidix"
fi |
But since I'm using SVGA, I never tried to bother to modifed it for testing.
Is there anything else for me to try or should I go right ahead and submit this to bugs.gentoo.org?
EDIT 1 :
I just tried compiling mplayer with every USE flags that exist with it, still no luck, same error!

EDIT 2 :
Now I modified /usr/portage/media-video/mplayer/mplayer-1.0_pre8-r1.ebuild, I included in it
einfo "myconf = ${myconf}" so that it can print the .configure line it is using and I used that line to compile mplayer by myself with the package on the official mplayer website. But I had to removed these :
--disable-xinerama --disable-cdparanoia --disable-x264 --disable-liblzo --disable-smb --disable-live --disable-libdts
Because they were giving me compilation error after"make". After removing them, running "make" and "make install", I could play any video with xvidix.
So why can't I use xvidix even if I compile mplayer by myself with almost the same ./configure line of Gentoo ?!?
This is really puzzling me!  |
