[MPlayer-users] -vo zr

[Zachary Gauthier]

It's been an ongoing project for me for the past YEAR trying to get
mplayer to play my movies out the video output on my Miro DC30 Zoran
based card. I know the card is in working condition as it works fine
on my G4. I'm now running Slack 10.1 with a 2.6.11.7 kernel that I
built myself. I'm able to get the driver for the card to load in fine.

See...

---------------------------------------------------



BUT whenever I try to get MPlayer to use it, I get stuff like this,
and no video.

---------------------------------------------------
mplayer -vo zr -v "Dancer In The Dark.avi"

zr: error waiting for buffers to become free
zr:error queueing buffer for playback
----------------------------------------------------


I'm thinking there still could be problems driver-side, and I haven't
been able to find any good step-by-step instructions on actually
making use of one of these cards. Any ideas?

Thanks,
Zack
