Compilation failure with --enable-menu in current r22301
by Andrew Savchenko 21 Feb '07

When I try to compile r22301 with menu support, if failed with the following error: ./configure --enable-menu && make ... cc -I. -I.. -Wdeclaration-after-statement -O4 -march=athlon -mtune=athlon -pipe -ffast-math -fomit-frame-pointer -D_REENTRANT -D_LARGEFILE_SOURCE -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 -D_LARGEFILE64_SOURCE -I/usr/include/directfb -I/usr/X11R6/include -I/usr/include/ -I/usr/include/SDL -D_REENTRANT -I/usr/include/kde/artsc -pthread -I/usr/include/glib-2.0 -I/usr/lib/glib-2.0/include -D_REENTRANT -I/usr/include -I/usr/include/dvdnav -I/usr/include/cdda -I/usr/include/freetype2 -I/usr/include -I/usr/lib/live/liveMedia/include -I/usr/lib/live/UsageEnvironment/include -I/usr/lib/live/BasicUsageEnvironment/include -I/usr/lib/live/groupsock/include -c -o menu_param.o menu_param.c menu_param.c: In function 'entry_set_text': menu_param.c:82: error: too few arguments to function 'm_property_print' menu_param.c: In function 'read_cmd': menu_param.c:230: error: too few arguments to function 'm_property_do' menu_param.c:236: error: too few arguments to function 'm_property_do' menu_param.c:242: error: too few arguments to function 'm_property_do' menu_param.c:245: error: too few arguments to function 'm_property_do' make[1]: *** [menu_param.o] Error 1 make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/andrew/src/mplayer/libmenu' Without --enable-menu compilation is ok. Regression test shows that error was introduced into r22298. Patch probably should be reverted, as it brokes compilation: new argument in m_property_* functions was not added everywhere in the code.

DVB documentation unclear/outdated
by lynx.abraxas＠freenet.de 19 Feb '07

19 Feb '07

Hallo! I now have an DVB-T USB stick working and went through the mplayer documentation for DVB. I find this section of the docs very confusing and out dated. Here some suggestions: 1) What is ment by dvb output? Can ff-dvb-card (full featured dvb cards) be use with mpegpes for hardware encoding??? Or does it mean one can use ff-dvb- cards to decode any mpeg-stream by the hardware even if it is not DVB? If that's ment the term dvb output is very confusing. I'd suggest something like: "Use full featured dvb cards to do hardware decoding on mpeg2-streams other than dvb, eg. dvd vob-files" 2) The hardware decoding example differs from the first software decoding line only in the file name. Does the file extension make the difference? 3) Is mpegpes only ment for ff-dvb-cards? If so, it should be mentioned as now a days budget cards get more and more common. 4) In connection with mpegpes there is also mpeg-4 mentioned. Is that for chips which can do mpeg-4 hardware decoding? 5) It could be said in the dvb input part that an alang-option set in any configfile can lead to no sound if the language is not in the stream. 6) Last there is "realtime transcoding between MPEG-2 and MPEG-4 (partial decompression)" mentioned. It seems this is outdated. In my researches I found out that in 2002 it had been dropped off the ToDo-list. I couldn't find anything newer to that concerning mplayer/mencoder. Is it possible now? If so, how? As far as I can understand I found something about it at the TU Braunschweig. (mpeg-4 transcoding http://www.ibr.cs.tu-bs.de/users/brandt/ ) Can that be use for mplayer? Finally: If I use the keys 'h' or 'k' to change the channel when watching dvb- t mplayer changes it but then does not take any further input from the keyboard. Ctrl-C works though. Same happens when I use the menu with dvbsel to change the channel. What can I do about it? MPlayer rules! Thanks Lynx

Build failure with libnut
by The Wanderer 07 Feb '07

07 Feb '07

For some while now - I didn't notice what revision started it, but it may even have been thousands ago - MPlayer has not compiled for me with (the latest SVN of) libnut installed. The library is detected just fine as far as compilation goes, but when it comes time to build mplayer itself I get: == cc -o mplayer mplayer.o m_property.o mp_msg.o asxparser.o codec-cfg.o cpudetect.o edl.o find_sub.o m_config.o m_option.o m_struct.o parser-cfg.o playtree.o playtreeparser.o spudec.o sub_cc.o subreader.o vobsub.o unrarlib.o mixer.o parser-mpcmd.o subopt-helper.o libvo/libvo.a libao2/libao2.a input/libinput.a vidix/libvidix.a libmpcodecs/libmpcodecs.a libaf/libaf.a libmpdemux/libmpdemux.a stream/stream.a libswscale/libswscale.a libvo/libosd.a libavformat/libavformat.a libavcodec/libavcodec.a libavutil/libavutil.a libpostproc/libpostproc.a loader/libloader.a mp3lib/libMP3.a liba52/liba52.a libmpeg2/libmpeg2.a libfaad2/libfaad2.a tremor/libvorbisidec.a libass/libass.a osdep/libosdep.a -ldirectfb -lXext -lX11 -lpthread -lXv -lXinerama -lGL -ldl -lggi -laa -lcaca -lcucul -lvga -lSDL -laudio -lXt -ldl -lartsc -lpthread -lgmodule-2.0 -ldl -lgthread-2.0 -lglib-2.0 -lesd -laudiofile -lm -lpolyp-0.8 -lpolyp-error-0.8 -lpolyp-mainloop-0.8 -ljack -lopenal -lx264 -lpthread -lmp3lame -L/usr/lib -L/usr/lib -L/usr/lib -L/usr/lib -Wl,-z,noexecstack -lncurses -lsmbclient -lpng -lz -ljpeg -lungif -lasound -ldl -lpthread -L/usr/lib -ldvdnav -lpthread -lcdda_interface -lcdda_paranoia -lfreetype -lz -lfontconfig -L/usr/lib -lfribidi -lz -llzo -lmad -lspeex -I/usr/local/include -L/usr/local/lib -ltheora -logg -ldts -lmpcdec -ldv -lnut -lpthread -ldl -rdynamic -lm libavformat/libavformat.a(allformats.o): In function `av_register_all': allformats.c:(.text+0x3f3): undefined reference to `nut_muxer' collect2: ld returned 1 exit status make: *** [mplayer] Error 1 == Uninstalling libnut, reconfiguring, and running 'make dep ; make' works fine, but leaves me without libnut. (Not that I actually use it, but it's the principle of the thing.) The symbol in question is defined in both libavformat/nut.c and libavformat/libnut.c (the former of which appears to be deprecated - I don't think it gets pulled down with svn co anymore, but it's still in my local tree), neither of which are compiled to .o files. I've made efforts to track this down further, but have not been successful. Does anyone know where (in MPlayer's build system, in libavformat's and thence in FFmpeg, in libnut unlikely as that seems, somewhere else) the problem is likely to lie, or at least have any pointers to help me investigate further? -- The Wanderer Warning: Simply because I argue an issue does not mean I agree with any side of it. Secrecy is the beginning of tyranny.

[BUG] r22088 change in configure breaks MPlayer compilation on osx/intel

If I revert back the specific changes made to configure in r22088, the code compiles with the current SVN. Otherwise it dies at this point in the compile process.
