Q: | Compilation stops with an error message similar to this one:
--In file included from mplayer.c:34: -mw.h: In function `mplMainDraw': -mw.h:209: Internal compiler error in print_rtl_and_abort, at flow.c:6458 -Please submit a full bug report, -with preprocessed source if appropriate. -- | |
A: | This is a known problem of gcc -3.0.4, upgrade to 3.1 to solve the problem. How to install gcc is described -here. - | |
Q: | Configure ends with this text, and MPlayer won't compile! - "Your gcc does not support even i386 for '-march' and '-mcpu'."
- | |
A: | Your gcc isn't installed correctly, check the config.log file
-for details.
- | |
Q: | What does "No such file or directory" mean? - | |
A: | Probably there is no such file or directory. - | |
Q: | What's the problem with gcc 2.96? - | |
A: | We strongly discourage the use of gcc 2.96!!! -Read this document for details -about why Red Hat released gcc 2.96 and what the problems are all about. If you -still really really want to use it, be sure to get the latest release and give -the --disable-gcc-checking option to configure. Remember that you
-are on your own from this point. Do not report bugs, do not ask
-for help on the mailing lists. We will not provide any support in case
-you run into problems.
- | |
Q: | Great, I have gcc 3.0.1 from Red Hat/Mandrake, then I'm fine--! - | |
A: | No, since there have been/are issues with these compilers as well. -To check the status of current compilers' MPlayer support, see the -Installation section. - | |
Q: | I tried to compile MPlayer, but I got this output:
--In file included from /usr/include/g++-v3/bits/std_cwchar.h:42, - from /usr/include/g++-v3/bits/fpos.h:40, - from /usr/include/g++-v3/bits/char_traits.h:40, - from /usr/include/g++-v3/bits/std_string.h:41, - from /usr/include/g++-v3/string:31, - from libwin32.h:36, - from DS_AudioDecoder.h:4, - from DS_AudioDec.cpp:5: -/usr/include/wchar.h: In function Long long int wcstoq(const wchar_t*, - wchar_t**, int)': -/usr/include/wchar.h:514: cannot convert `const wchar_t* __restrict' to -`const -- | |
A: | Upgrade your glibc to the latest release. On Mandrake, use 2.2.4-8mdk. - | |
Q: | ... gcc 2.96 ... (Yes, some people are STILL flaming about their gcc 2.96!!) - | |
A: | Quoted from a
-mail
-A'rpi sent to the
-mplayer-users
-list (the word 'ideg' is described below):
--- - | |
Q: | SDL output doesn't work or compile. The problem is ... - | |
A: | It was tested to work with SDL 1.2.x and may run on SDL 1.1.7+. -It does not work with any previous version. So if you choose to use such -a version, you are on your own. - | |
Q: | I am still having trouble compiling with SDL support. gcc says something -about "undefined reference to `SDL_EnableKeyRepeat'". What now? - | |
A: | Where did you install the SDL library? If you installed in /usr/local -(the default) then edit the top level config.mak and add -"-L/usr/local/lib" after "X_LIBS=". Now type make. You're done! - | |
Q: | It doesn't compile, and it misses uint64_t inttypes.h and similar things ... - | |
A: | Copy etc/inttypes.h to the MPlayer directory (cp etc/inttypes.h . )
-and try again ...
- | |
Q: | I have Linux running on a Pentium III but ./configure doesn't detect
-SSE ...
- | |
A: | Only kernel versions 2.4.x support SSE (or try 2.2.19 or newer, but -be prepared for problems). - | |
Q: | I have a G200/G400, how do I compile/use the mga_vid driver? - | |
A: | Read the mga_vid documentation. - | |
Q: | Are there rpm/deb/... packages of MPlayer? - | |
A: | You can make a .deb package for yourself, check the Debian packaging section. -There are links to official Red Hat RPM packages available on our -download page. - | |
Q: | During 'make', MPlayer complains about X11 libraries. I don't understand, -I DO have X installed!? - | |
A: | ... but you don't have the X development package installed. Or not
-correctly. It's called XFree86-devel* under Red Hat, and xlibs-dev under
-Debian. Also check if the /usr/X11 and /usr/include/X11
-symlinks exist (this can be a problem on Mandrake systems). They can be created
-with these commands:- $ ln -sf /usr/X11R6 /usr/X11 - $ ln -sf /usr/X11R6/include/X11 /usr/include/X11 -Your distribution may differ from the -Filesystem Hierarchy Standard. - | |
Q: | I can't compile SVGAlib. I'm using kernel 2.3/2.4 ... - | |
A: | You have to edit SVGAlib's Makefile.cfg and comment BACKGROUND = y out.
- | |
Q: | I compiled MPlayer with libdvdcss/libdivxdecore support, but when
-I try to start it, it says: - > error while loading shared libraries: lib*.so.0: cannot load
-shared object file: No such file or directory -I checked up on the file and it IS there in /usr/local/lib ...
- | |
A: | Add /usr/local/lib to /etc/ld.so.conf and run ldconfig .
- | |
Q: | Hmm, strange. When loading the mga_vid.o kernel module, I found this in the logs: - Warning: loading mga_vid.o will taint the kernel: no license
- | |
A: | The latest kernel modutils require a flag indicating the license (mainly -to avoid kernel hackers debugging closed source drivers). -Upgrade your kernel, modutils and MPlayer. - | |
Q: | When compiling MEncoder, it segfaults at linking!!! - | |
A: | This is a linker problem. Upgrading binutils should help (2.11.92.* or newer -should be good). Since it is not our fault, please do not report! - | |
Q: | MPlayer dies with segmentation fault upon pthread check! - | |
A: | chmod 644 /usr/lib/libc.so - | |
Q: | I'd like to compile MPlayer on Minix! - | |
A: | Me too. :) - | |
5.2 General questions - | ||
Q: | There is a timer in the upper -left corner. How can I get rid of it? - | |
A: | Press o and try the
--osdlevel option.
- | |
Q: | The -xy or -fs option doesn't work with the x11 driver (-vo x11 ) ...
- | |
A: | It does, but you have to explicitly specify software scaling (it's SLOW!) with
-the -zoom option. You better use XF86VidMode support:
-you must specify the -vm and the -fs switch, and
-you're done. Make sure you have the right modelines in your XF86Config file, and
-try to make the DGA driver and
-SDL's DGA driver work for you.
-It's much faster. If SDL's DGA works, use that, it'll be EVEN faster!
- | |
Q: | What is the meaning of the numbers on the status line? - | |
A: | Example: A: 2.1 V: 2.2 A-V: -0.167 ct: 0.042 57/57 41% 0% 2.6% 0 4 49% -
| |
Q: | What if I don't want them to appear? - | |
A: | Use the -quiet option and read the man page.
- | |
Q: | Why is video_out cpu usage zero (0%) for some files? - | |
A1: | It's not zero, but it's called from the codec and thus cannot be measured
-separately. You should try to play the file using -vo null and then
--vo ... and check the difference to see the video_out speed.
- | |
A2: | You are using Direct Rendering, -where the codec renders to the video memory itself. In this case, the -decoding percentage contains the display percentage, too. - | |
Q: | There are error messages about file not found /usr/lib/win32/ ...
- | |
A: | Download the Win32 codecs -from our FTP site (avifile's codec package has a different DLL set) and -install it. - | |
Q: | Are there any mailing lists on MPlayer? - | |
A: | Yes! See the bottom of the info page on -our homepage to subscribe! - | |
Q: | I've found a nasty bug when I tried to play my favorite video!! -Who should I inform? - | |
A: | Please read the bug reporting guidelines and follow -the instructions. - | |
Q: | I have problems playing files with the ... codec. Can I use them? - | |
A: | Check the codec status, -if it doesn't contain your codec, read the -codec documentation, especially the -codec importing HOWTO and contact us. - | |
Q: | Umm, what is "IdegCounter"? - | |
A: | A combination of a Hungarian and an English word. "Ideg" in Hungarian means -the same as "nerve" in English, and is pronounced as something like "ydaegh". -It was first used to measure the nervousness of A'rpi, after some (umm) "mystic" -disappearance of CVS code ;) - | |
Q: | And what is "Faszom(C)ounter"? - | |
A: | "Fasz" is a Hungarian word you don't want to know, the others are connected to -the perverted minds of the MPlayer developers. - | |
Q: | LIRC doesn't work, because ... - | |
A: | Are you sure you are using mplayer instead of mplayer_lirc ?
-Note that it was mplayer_lirc for a long time, including the 0.60
-release, but it was recently changed back to mplayer .
- | |
Q: | Subtitles are very nice, the most beautiful I've ever seen, but they slow -down playing! I know it's unlikely ... - | |
A: | After running ./configure , edit config.h and replace
-#undef FAST_OSD with #define FAST_OSD . Then recompile.
- | |
Q: | The onscreen display (OSD) is flickering! - | |
A: | You use a vo driver with single buffering (x11,xv). With xv,
-use the -double option. Also try -vop expand
- | |
Q: | What exactly is this libavcodec thing? - | |
A: | See the libavcodec section. - | |
Q: | But configure tells me "Checking for libavcodec ... no"! - | |
A: | You need to get libavcodec from FFmpeg's CVS. Read the instructions in -the libavcodec section. - | |
Q: | Icewm's taskbar keeps covering the movie in fullscreen mode! - | |
A: | This shouldn't happen anymore, if it still does use the -icelayer
-option and report it to the
-mplayer-users
-mailing list.
- | |
Q: | I can't access the GUI menu. I press right click, but I can't access any -menu items! - | |
A: | Are you using FVWM? Try the following: -Start -> Settings -> Configuration -> Base Configuration -Set "Use Applications position hints" to "Yes". - | |
Q: | How can I run MPlayer in the background? - | |
A: | Use: mplayer <options> <filename> < /dev/null &
- | |
-5.3 playback problems - | ||
Q: | I can play certain AVIs but I
-get no sound and this kind of error:
--Detected audio codec: [divx] afm:4 (DivX audio (WMA)) -Requested audio codec family [divx] (afm=4) not available (enable it at -compile time!) -- | |
A: | Probably the audio uses a codec -not natively supported by MPlayer. Install the Win32 codec package as -described in the README or here. - | |
Q: | ... works with avifile/aviplay but doesn't with MPlayer. - | |
A: | MPlayer != avifile. -The only common thing between these players is the Win32 DLL loader. -The codecs (DLL) set, synchronization, demultiplexing etc is totally -different and shouldn't be compared. -If something works with aviplay it doesn't mean that MPlayer will work -and vice versa. - | |
Q: | Audio goes out of sync playing an AVI file. - | |
A: | Try the -bps or -nobps option. If it does not improve,
-read this and upload the file to FTP.
- | |
Q: | MPlayer exits with some error when using l3codeca.acm. - | |
A: | Check ldd /usr/local/bin/mplayer output. If it contains- libc.so.6 => /lib/libc.so.6 (0x4???????) -where "?" is any number then it's OK, the error is not here. If it is: - libc.so.6 => /lib/libc.so.6 (0x00??????) -then there is a problem with your kernel/libc. Maybe you are using some -security patches (for example Solar Designer's OpenWall patch) which -forces loading libraries to very low addresses. -Because l3codeca.acm is a non-relocatable DLL, it must be loaded to -0x00400000, we can't change this. You should use a non-patched kernel, -or use MPlayer's -afm 1 option to disable using l3codeca.acm.
- | |
Q: | My computer plays M$ DivX AVIs with resolutions ~ 640x300 and stereo mp3 -sound too slow. When I use -nosound switch, everything is OK (but quiet). - | |
A: | Your machine is too slow or your soundcard driver is broken. Consult the documentation to see if you can improve -performance. - | |
Q: | MPlayer dies with "MPlayer interrupted by signal 4 in module: decode_video". - | |
A: | Try running MPlayer on the machine you compiled on. Or recompile
-with runtime CPU detection
-(./configure --enable-runtime-cpudetection ). Don't
-use MPlayer on a CPU different from the one it was compiled on,
-without using the feature mentioned just now.
- | |
Q: | I have problems with [your window manager] and fullscreen xv/xmga/sdl/x11 modes ... - | |
A: | Read the bug reporting guidelines and send us a -proper bug report. - | |
Q: | I got this playing MPEG files: Can't find codec for video format 0x10000001! - | |
A: | You have an old version of codecs.conf at ~/.mplayer/ . Upgrade it
-from /etc/ .-OR you have the vc= option or something similar in your
-config file(s).
- | |
Q: | When starting MPlayer under KDE I just get a black screen and nothing happens. -After about one minute the video starts playing. - | |
A: | The KDE arts sound daemon is blocking the sound device. Either wait until the
-video starts or disable the arts-daemon in kontrol center. If you want
-to use arts sound, specify audio output via our native arts audio driver
-(-ao arts ). If it fails or isn't compiled in, try SDL
-(-ao sdl ) and make sure your SDL can handle arts sound. Yet
-another option is to start MPlayer with artsdsp.
- | |
Q: | I have an AVI that produces a gray screen when played with -vc odivx
-and a green one with -vc divx4 .
- | |
A: | It's not a DivX file, but an M$ MPEG4v3 . Update your codecs.conf. - | |
Q: | When I play this movie I get video-audio desync and/or MPlayer crashes with the following message: - DEMUXER: Too many (945 in 8390980 bytes) video packets in the buffer!
- | |
A: | This can have multiple reasons. -
| |
Q: | I have an MJPEG file which works with other players but displays only a black -image in MPlayer. - | |
A: | Disable the Windows DLL in codecs.conf , or use the
--vc ffmjpeg option (compile MPlayer with libavcodec for this to work).
- | |
Q: | When I try to grab from my tuner, it works, but colors are strange. It's OK -with other applications. - | |
A: | Your card probably misreports its colorspace capacity. Try with YUY2 instead -of default YV12 (see the TV input documentation). - | |
Q: | When I start playing, I get this message but everything seems fine: - Linux RTC init: ioctl (rtc_pie_on): Permission denied
- | |
A: | You need root privileges or a -specially set up kernel to use the new timing code. For details see the -RTC section of the documentation. - | |
Q: | I have A/V sync problems. Some of my AVIs play fine, but some play with -double speed! - | |
A: | You have a buggy sound card/driver. Most likely it's fixed at 44100Hz, and -you try to play a file which has 22050Hz audio. Try the resample audio plugin. - | |
Q: | All the WMV (or other..) files I play create a green/gray window and there is
-only sound! MPlayer prints: - Detected video codec: [null] drv:0 (NULL codec (no decoding))
- | |
A: | Update your codecs.conf .
- | |
Q: | I get very strange percentage values (way too big) while playing files on my notebook. - | |
A: | It's an effect of the power management / power saving system of your notebook -(BIOS, not kernel). Plug the external power connector in before you power on your -notebook. - | |
Q: | The audio/video gets totally out of sync when I run MPlayer as root on my notebook. -It works normal when i run it as a user. - | |
A: | This is again a power management effect (see above). Plug the external power
-connector in before you power on your notebook or use the
--nortc switch.
- | |
-5.4 Video/audio driver problems (vo/ao) - | ||
Q: | I have no sound when playing a
-video and get error messages similar to this one:
--AO: [oss] 44100Hz 2ch Signed 16-bit (Little-Endian) -audio_setup: Can't open audio device /dev/dsp: Device or resource busy -couldn't open/init audio device -> NOSOUND -Audio: no sound!!! -Start playing... -- | |
A: | Are you running KDE or GNOME with
-the arts or esd sound daemon? Try disabling the sound daemon, or use the
--ao arts switch to make MPlayer use arts.
- | |
Q: | What about the DGA driver? I can't find it!!! - | |
A: | ./configure autodetects your DGA driver. If -vo help doesn't show
-DGA, then there's a problem with your X installation.
-Try ./configure --enable-dga and read the
-documentation.
-Alternatively, try SDL's DGA driver with the -vo sdl:dga option.
- | |
Q: | OK, -vo help shows DGA driver, but it complains about permissions!
-Help me!
- | |
A: | It works only if running as root! It's a DGA limitation.
-You should become root (su - ), and try again.
-Another solution is making MPlayer SUID root, but it's NOT RECOMMENDED!- chown root /usr/local/bin/mplayer - chmod 755 /usr/local/bin/mplayer - chmod +s /usr/local/bin/mplayer -!!!! BUT STAY TUNED !!!! -This is a *BIG* security risk! *NEVER* do this on a server or on a computer -that you do not control completely because other users can gain root -privileges through SUID root MPlayer!!! -!!!! SO YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED ... !!!! - | |
Q: | When using Xvideo, my Voodoo 3/Banshee says: - X Error of failed request: BadAccess (attempt to access private resource denied) - | |
A: | The "tdfx" driver in XFree86 4.0.2/4.0.3 had this bug. This was solved by -bugfix #621 of the XFree86 4.1.0 CVS log. -So upgrade to XFree86 4.1.0 or later. Alternatively, either download (at least) -DRI version 0.6 from the DRI homepage, -or use CVS DRI. - | |
Q: | OpenGL (-vo gl ) output doesn't work (hang/black window/X11 errors/...).
- | |
A: | Your OpenGL driver doesn't support dynamic texture changes (glTexSubImage). -It's known not to work with nVidia's binary mess. -It's known to work with Utah-GLX/DRI and Matrox G400 cards. Also with -DRI and Radeon cards. It won't work with DRI and other cards. -it will not work with 3DFX cards because of the 256x256 texture size limit. - | |
Q: | I have an nVidia TNT/TNT2 card, and I have a band with strange colors, -right under the movie! Whose fault is this? - | |
A: | This is a bug of nVidia's binary X driver. These bugs appear ONLY with the -TNT/TNT2 cards, and we can't do anything about it. To fix the problem, upgrade -to the latest nVidia binary driver version. If still bad, complain to nVidia! - | |
Q: | I have an nVidia XYZ card, and when I click on the GUI's display window to toggle -displaying the GUI panel, a black square appears where I clicked. I have -the newest driver. - | |
A: | Yes, nVidia corrected a previous bug (above), and introduced a new one. Let's -congratulate them. UPDATE: According to -nVidia, this has already been -fixed. - | |
Q: | When I use the GUI with SDL video output, a second video window is created. - | |
A: | Known, don't use SDL for the GUI yet. - | |
Q: | Oh the world is cruel ...! SDL has only x11 target, but not
-xv !
- | |
A: | Try that x11 target again. Now try -vo x11 -fs -zoom .
-See the difference? No?! OK, here comes the enlightenment: SDL's
-x11 target uses xv when available, you don't have to worry about
-it ... Note: you can force/disable Xv via SDL using -forcexv and -noxv
- | |
-5.5 DVD playback - | ||
Q: |
-While playing a DVD, I encountered this error: - mplayer: ifo_read.c:1143: ifoRead_C_ADT_internal: Assertion nfo_length /
-sizeof(cell_adr_t) >= c_adt->nr_of_vobs' failed.
- | |
A: | -This is a known libdvdread 0.9.1/0.9.2 bug. -Use libmpdvdkit, which is present in MPlayer source, and used by -default. - | |
Q: | -Can I compile libdvdread and libdvdcss on my sweet SPARC under Solaris? - | |
A: | -Who knows ... It's said to work, so please test it and send feedback. Refer to -the documentation of libdvdread and its homepage as well. We're not the authors -of libdvdread. Use libmpdvdkit, which is present in MPlayer source, and used by -default. - | |
Q: | -What about subtitles? Can MPlayer display them? - | |
A: | -Yes! See the DVD chapter of the documentation. - | |
Q: | -How can I set the region code of my DVD-drive? I don't have Windows! - | |
A: | -Use the -regionset tool. - | |
Q: | -Do I need to be (setuid) root/setuid fibmap_mplayer to be able to play a DVD? - | |
A: |
-No, only for old-style DVD support. However you must have
-the proper rights on the DVD device entry (in /dev/ ).
- | |
Q: | -Where can I get libdvdread and libdvdcss packages? - | |
A: | -You don't need to. Use libmpdvdkit, which is present in MPlayer source, and used by -default. -Anyway, the packages mentioned can be get from the -Ogle site. - | |
Q: | -Is it possible to play/encode only selected chapters? - | |
A: |
-Yes, try the -chapter option.
- | |
Q: | -My DVD playback is sluggish! - | |
A: |
-Use the -cache option (described in the man page)
-and try enabling DMA for the DVD drive with the hdparm tool (described in the
-CD/DVD drives chapter of the documentation).
- | |
-5.6 Feature requests - | ||
Q: | If MPlayer is paused -and I try to seek or press any key at all, MPlayer ceases to be paused. -I would like to be able to seek in the paused movie. - | |
A: | This is very tricky to implement -without losing A/V synchronization. All attempts have failed so far, but patches -are welcome. - | |
Q: | I'd like to seek +/- 1 frames instead of 10 seconds. - | |
A: | This won't be done. It was, but then it messed up A/V sync. Feel free to -implement it, and send a patch. Don't ask for it. - | |
Q: | Where is the Windows version? - | |
A: | It's not released, and won't be. Look around the Windows scene (open source - ASF parsers, open source ASF encoders, etc) and you'll know why. We don't - want to go to jail. BTW you can compile it yourself, under - Cygwin. - | |
-5.7 Encoding - | ||
Q: | How can I encode? - | |
A: | Read the MEncoder documentation. - | |
Q: | How can I create VCDs? - | |
A: | Try the mencvcd
-script from the TOOLS subdirectory. With it you can encode DVDs or
-other movies to VCD or SVCD format and even burn them directly to CD..
- | |
Q: | My tuner works, I can hear the sound and watch the video with MPlayer, but -MEncoder doesn't encode audio! - | |
A: | TV audio encoding for Linux is currently unimplemented, we're working on it. -At the moment it works only on BSD. - | |
Q: | I can't encode DVD subtitles into the AVI! - | |
A: | You have to specify the -sid option correctly!
- | |
Q: | MEncoder segfaults on startup! - | |
A: | Upgrade DivX4Linux. - | |
Q: | How can I encode only selected chapters from a DVD? - | |
A: | Use the -chapter option correctly, like: -chapter 5-7
- | |
Q: | I'm trying to work with 2GB+ files on a VFAT file system. Does it work? - | |
A: | No, VFAT doesn't support 2GB+ files. - | |
Q: | Why is the recommended bitrate printed by MEncoder negative? - | |
A: | Because the bitrate you encoded the audio with is too large to fit the -movie on any CD. Check if you have libmp3lame installed properly. - | |
