[MPlayer-users] AviSynth and MPlayer?

[Wayne]

I'm unable to figure why MPlayer won't process an AVS (AviSynth) script.  Attempting to run a simple two-line script (change the frame rate on a tiny video clip) results in the following log files.  This is my standard SMPlayer/MPlayer combo that plays literally everything I throw at it -- except AVS scripts.  SMPlayer lists the MPlayer demuxer support as such: "avs - Avisynth demuxer (Requires binary dll)".  The reference to needing a binary DLL is puzzling.  I have AviSynth 'installed' on the system; I don't know what and where any other DLL should be.  Maybe that's the only problem?

The log resulting from trying to run the script 'directly' through MPlayer is at the bottom.  It says "MPlayer crashed by bad usage of CPU/FPU/RAM" .. don't know what that's about since there should be plenty of memory, and MPlayer runs the referenced video clip and everything else without problem.  I have no way to 'Recompile MPlayer' for further analysis.

BTW, FFplay plays AVS scripts just fine, and FFmpeg can render them.  Don't know if that helps.  I can send the (long) SMPlayer log file as well, if needed.    This seems to be the most relevent part of that log...

Thanks for your help on this.

  It can be a bug in the MPlayer code _or_ in your drivers _or_ in your

  won't help unless you provide this information when reporting a possible bug.

The Demuxer list in SMPlayer shows that the version of MPlayer I'm using (r37205) does, indeed, have that capability, but when I drop an AVS script on it nothing happens.  The listing mentions that the AviSynth demuxer "Requires binary dll".  I DO have AviSynth 'installed' on the system, and even tried copying the dll to the MPlayer folder, but nothing seems to make MPlayer recognise or play the AVS script.  Is there something I'm overlooking here?  Any help would be much appreciated.

Drag-and-drop might cause issues.
Mostly though, nobody can tell without more information.
We'd at least need the MPlayer output/log. I believe SMPlayer should
have a menu entry somewhere that shows it.
