Upload them to ftp://thot.banki.hu/MPlayer/incoming , and inform the list ! about your upload. ! ! Please include these: ! - your kernel version number ('uname -a') ! - linux distribution and glibc version (example: Slackware 7.1 + glibc 2.1.3) ! - gcc and binutils version ('gcc -v' and 'as --version') ! - your X11 version (example: X 4.0.2 + DRI snapshot2001jan12) ! - video card vendor/model (example: Matrox G400 DH MAX AGP) ! - sound card model+driver (example: Creative SBLive! with OSS (kernel) ) ! - CPU vendor and type (example: Intel Celeron2-566 at 850MHz) ! !

(or upgrade glibc to 2.1/newer) ! - if gcc reports problems around video_out_gl.c, try disabling OpenGL ! support: ./configure --disable-gl (you have broken OpenGL headers/libs) ! - if you are a user, send us a bugreport (see above), including these: ! - output of ./configure ! - output of make ! - config.h and all of config.mak files ! Note: many users reported that SSE was not detected while running on P3. ! Current stable 2.2.x kernels does NOT support SSE, so you can't use it ! without patches or using the 2.4.x series.

Send us the output and the problem description via email bugreport. ! We may ask you to upload the file. ! - if it segfaults with an AVI file with MP3 audio, try with -afm 1 or -afm 4 ! - if it's still bad, try with -nosound ! ! 5. If you have problem with display driver, please first check the list above, ! many of them isn't yet capable to AVI playing, and some of them are ! untested and/or unfinished. ! ! 6. If you have speed problems (too slow playing), then please first check that: ! - you don't use OpenGL driver while have software-only opengl (Utah-GLX ! disabled, or not yet installed, conflicting libs installed, or your ! hardware not supported etc...) ! - you have set up MTRR registers properly (many new cards are really ! slow without setting up MTRR registers. it's NOT done by X 3.3.x! Also, ! there are older K6-2's, which lack MTRR support /stepping=0/). ! Check DOCS/MTRR ! ! - you have a fast machine (don't report that your 386 can't play DivX) ! - try with Null output (-vo null) and check CPU usage (first % value) ! ! 7. sound-related problems: ! - maybe your card doesn't support 48kHz playback and the movie requires it. ! - try MPlayer with the -noalsa option ! - compile MPlayer with --disable-select ! - delayed audio with some AVI files: try with -bps or -nobps option! ! - if you experienced delayed audio, try to compensate with -delay or -abs. ! you can specify audio card's buffer size in bytes with -abs option, or ! specify audio delay in seconds (positive/negative float) with -delay ! for example: mplayer -alsa -delay -0.75 test.avi ! mplayer -abs 65536 -delay 0.3 test.mpg ! - to play AVI files with VBR MP3 audio use the -mc 0 option! ! - no sound at all: check that you have working OSS driver (/dev/dsp), ! and it isn't used by another program (for example esd, xmms etc.) ! - use OSS. If the problem persists, use ALSA ;) ! 8. unsupported codecs (AVI files): ! Check DOCS/CODECS Contact information: --- 168,193 ---- and run 'depmod -a' . TV output: ~~~~~~~~~~ !

Update of /cvsroot/mplayer/main/DOCS In directory usw-pr-cvs1:/tmp/cvs-serv4003 Added Files: BUGREPORTS Log Message: How to send a quality bugreport --- NEW FILE --- How to report bugs? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ First read DOCS/BUGS, and other docs. If your problem isn't known or isn't solved by our instructions, then report the bug: Where? ====== Subscribe to the mplayer-users mailing list: http://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/mplayer-users and send your bugreport to: mplayer-users(a)lists.sourceforge.net We won't CC: so please subscribe!!! Don't send bugreports private, directly to author's address!!! We are working together on code, so everyone is interested in it. Btw many times other users know the solution (system config probs, bad drivers etc), even when we think it's a bug in our code. Please describe your problem in details, examples etc, and don't forget to include these: What? ===== 1. The system info what we always want: - linux distribution for example: RedHat 7.1 / Slackware 7.0 + devel packs from 7.1 ... - kernel version: uname -a - libc version: ls -l /lib/libc[.-]* - X version (you should know that) - gcc and ld version: gcc -v ld -v 2. Hardware & drivers: - CPU info: cat /proc/cpuinfo - video card manufacturer and model examples: ASUS V3800U chip: nVidia TNT2 Ultra pro 32MB SDRAM Matrox G400 DH 32MB SGRAM - video driver type&version examples: X built-in driver nvidia 0.9.623 Utah-GLX CVS 2001-02-17 DRI from X 4.0.3 - sound card type & driver examples: Creative SBLive! Gold with OSS driver from oss.creative.com Creative SB16 with OSS drivers of kernel GUS PnP with ALSA OSS emulation - if you are unsure, attach output of lspci -v For compiling problems/errors: ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 3. output of configure/make: make distclean ./configure &>config.log ./make &>make.log 4. these files: config.h config.mak libvo/config.mak For playback problems: ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 3. Output of mplayer at verbose level 1 (-v) mplayer -v [options] filename &> mplayer.log 4. If the problem is specific to one or a few files, then please upload that file to: ftp://thot.banki.hu/MPlayer/incoming/ Usually first 1-5 MB of the file is enough to reproduce the problem, but first you should try it: dd if=yourfile of=smallfile bs=1k count=1024 (it will cut first 1MB of 'yourfile' and save to 'smallfile') Then try again on this small file, and if bug still exists then it's enough to upload this small file. NEVER send such files via mail! Upload it, and send only the path/filename of the file on the FTP. If the file is accessible on the net, then sending the _exact_ URL is enough! In general: If something is big (logs etc) then it's better to upload to the ftp (gzipped), and include only path/filename in the bugreport! _______________________________________________ Mplayer-cvslog mailing list Mplayer-cvslog(a)lists.sourceforge.net http://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/mplayer-cvslog

Update of /cvsroot/mplayer/main/DOCS In directory usw-pr-cvs1:/tmp/cvs-serv3953 Added Files: BUGS Log Message: List of known bugs and workarounds --- NEW FILE --- Known bugs: ~~~~~~~~~~~ Special system/cpu-specific bugs/problems: ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 1. SIGILL (signal 4) in draw_frame, on P3 (mostly 2.2.x kernels): Problem: movups is crashing in libvo/fastmemcpy.h Workaround: ./configure --disable-fastmemcpy 2. No image (black image) in RGB 16bpp (x11,dga,fbdev,svga) playing MPEG files on SMP machine: Problem: bug(?) in MMX YV12->RGB16 converter code Workaround: ./configure --disable-mmx 3. SIGILL or other fault at loading l3codeca.acm: Problem: shared libs are loaded to 0x00100000 instead of 0x40000000 Workaround: mplayer -afm 1 ... Please contact me if you experienced any of the above problems. We need people to test fixes and send us as many system details information as possible (kernel+libc+gcc+binutils version, test results, /proc/cpuinfo etc) because they are system-dependent problems and aren't reproducable here. Please tell me if you can fix them or you are only user. Unfortunately we can't reproduce these here, so it's very hard to fix. Various A-V sync and other audio problems: ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ General audio delay or jerky sound (exists with all or many files): - bad select() in audio driver (including ALSA's OSS emulation) Workaround: ./configure --disable-select - audio buffer problems Workaround: mplayer -abs option - slow machine (cpu or vga) try with -vo null, if it plays well, then you has slow VGA card/driver: Workaround: buy a faster card or read DOCS/VIDEOCARDS about how to speed up Audio delay specific to one or a few files: - bad file (pleae upload the file, so we can check & fix) Workaround: -ni and/or -bps options -delay option or +/- keys at runtime to adjuts delay - your soundcard doesn't support 48khz playback Workaround: buy a better soundcard... - file has VBR mp3 audio Workaround: mplayer -mc 0 After many > or ^ (fast forward) audio vs. video is going out of sync (ASF/AVI) - bug in mplayer code (a-v sync probs after seek... not really bug but my avi/asf seeking code is not perfect yet) Signal 11 in decode_audio: - mp3lib doesn't handle (yet) well bad/broken audio streams Workaround: -afm 4 - if it's still bad, try with -nosound [and report the bug, see BUGREPORTS] No sound at all: - your file uses a not supported codec Workaround: read DOCS/CODECS, and help us adding support for it Video-out problems: ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ First note: options -fs -vm and -zoom are just recommendations, not (yet) supported by all drivers. So it isn't a bug if it doesn't work. Only a few driver supports scaling/zooming, don't except this from x11 or dga.
