[MPlayer-users] Cannot play ogg-vorbis stream

Sat Aug 22 14:04:36 CEST 2009

Hi,

I am encountering an annoying problem with mplayer: it refuses to play ogg-vorbis streams.
Here is an example (sorry for the german text, as you can see, mplayer ignores locale settings):

bash-3.2$ LANG=C mplayer http://he3.magnatune.com/all/01-Sarajevo%20Nights-AlmaNova.ogg

It seems that mplayer thinks the data received is corrupt. Now for the funny part: if I write
the stream to a file, mplayer plays it just fine (like all other local files):

bash-3.2$ curl -o xxx.ogg http://he3.magnatune.com/all/01-Sarajevo%20Nights-AlmaNova.ogg

I therefore suspect a problem with mplayers networking code. Hope anyone can help!

Build information:

I am running mplayer compiled from sources obtained from svn:

bash-3.2$ svn log -l 1
------------------------------------------------------------------------
r29544 | reimar | 2009-08-21 18:54:57 +0200 (Fri, 21 Aug 2009) | 2 lines

Add suport for detecting and demuxing DVB teletext streams (nothing beyond that though).

'config.h' and 'config.mak' contain your configuration options.
Note: If you alter theses files (for instance CFLAGS) MPlayer may no longer
      compile *** DO NOT REPORT BUGS if you tweak these files ***

'make' will now compile MPlayer and 'make install' will install it.
Note: On non-Linux systems you might need to use 'gmake' instead of 'make'.

Please check mtrr settings at /proc/mtrr (see DOCS/HTML//video.html#mtrr)

NOTE: Win32 codec DLLs are not supported on your CPU (x86_64) or your
operating system (Linux). You may encounter a few files that cannot
be played due to missing open source video/audio codec support.

Check configure.log if you wonder why an autodetection failed (make sure
development headers/packages are installed).

NOTE: The --enable-* parameters unconditionally force options on, completely
skipping autodetection. This behavior is unlike what you may be used to from
autoconf-based configure scripts that can decide to override you. This greater
level of control comes at a price. You may have to provide the correct compiler
and linker flags yourself.
If you used one of these options (except --enable-gui and similar ones that
turn on internal features) and experience a compilation or linking failure,
make sure you have passed the necessary compiler/linker flags to configure.

If you suspect a bug, please read DOCS/HTML//bugreports.html.

MPlayer compilation will use the CPPFLAGS/CFLAGS/LDFLAGS/YASMFLAGS set by you,
but:

    *** ***  DO NOT REPORT BUGS IF IT DOES NOT COMPILE/WORK!  *** ***

It is strongly recommended to let MPlayer choose the correct CFLAGS!
To do so, execute 'CFLAGS= ./configure <options>'

As for the CFLAGS/LDFLAGS warning, this is what i am using:

bash-3.2$ echo $CFLAGS
-pipe -O3 -fomit-frame-pointer -march=native -m64
bash-3.2$ echo $LDFLAGS
-O3 -Wl,--enable-new-dtags,--hash-style=gnu
bash-3.2$
