Hi, Can someone have a look at this ? Attila Kinali Begin forwarded message: Date: Mon, 7 Jul 2003 23:36:06 -0400 From: Sean <lakese@sas.upenn.edu> To: mplayer-users@mplayerhq.hu Subject: [MPlayer-users] Re: Bug reporting - MPlayer - The Movie Player for Linux [Automatic answer: RTFM (read DOCS, FAQ), also read DOCS/bugreports.html] OS: MacOS X.2.6 Problem: MPlayer launches the Aqua frontend even when unnecessary (when using X11 output), and doesn't handle the inability to launch the Aqua frontend gracefully. How to replicate: build MPlayer with X11 support, and run MPlayer from a terminal within X. Note how the Aqua frontend still appears in the dock. Now, log out and enter >console as your user name. Log in at the terminal, and run exec startx to get an XWindows session. Try to run MPlayer, and it will quit with some errors that I didn't write down, but that are plainly Cocoa/Carbon calls failing to connect to the Mac window server. Lastly, run this same copy of MPlayer from Apple's Terminal.app without specifying -vo. Note how MPlayer gives errors about not being able to access the X11 window server, and then moves on to using the Aqua frontend. I would tend to think that MPlayer should behave the same way if Mac window server is unavailable, but X11 is. Problem: --disable-macosx compile option does not effect above behavior at all. I thought I could just use two separate compiles of MPlayer to work around the problem above, but both compiles still launch the Aqua frontend. It seems to me that launching the Aqua frontend is covered by "Disable Mac OS X specific features." (from ./configure --help). It may also be worth checking for other Mac OS X specific features that should be disabled by this compiler tag but that are not. X11: latest binary install available through XDarwin.org gnome: current binaries available as part of the fink stable binary distro computer: iBook (colors) G3 300MHz that barely plays DivX acceptably under OS9, and I wanted to see if there was a way to do so without rebooting and decompressing the audio before viewing. Thank you for your time, and thanks for the great work on MPlayer.
