MPlayer + FreeBSD - works great!
by Vladimir Kushnir 03 Jun '01

03 Jun '01

Hello, Forst of all - thanks a lot for an mplayer - THE DivX player for *NIX as far as I'm concerned. Next, there is (fortunately :-) a small nit in MPlayer-FAQ: "Q: I'd like to use/port MPlayer on/to my <insert your favourite architecture here> on <insert your favourite OS here> . Is it possible? A: No. Q: But...! A: No." It's not quite so. I've patched it a little bit and it works (within its capabilities) just great under my FreeBSD (both -CURRENT and -STABLE, and 4.2 before) just great. More, this is the only chance for those poor souls like myself running FreeBSD on a computer with not so strong CPU (here it's P-III Katmai 450 MHz) and nVidia videocard (VANTA with 32 MB here) to watch DivX movies. Aviplay is not an option here - it drops up to 90% frames :-( Of course, there're limitations - no fbdev and svga drivers, I didn't touch DVD part (haven't got one, so why bother? :-), old style VCDs not finished (are there many of them still existing?). But as far as AVI, MPEG1, DivX are concerned - mplayer works here under FreeBSD even BETTER than under Linux on this very computer (RH 7.1 + nVidia drivers here)!!! If anybody is interested I could finish it up and send patches. Regards (and thanks again), Vladimir _______________________________________________ Mplayer-dev-eng mailing list Mplayer-dev-eng(a)lists.sourceforge.net http://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/mplayer-dev-eng

Hi, It seems to we got some help from a hungarian company. They are working on a hungarian linux distribution, and supporting all hungarian development, so mplayer too. They can give us VGA cards for testing purposes. i have to collect a list of what cards we need. Can you help with this? I think, we need at least: Voodoo 3/4/5 (Xv, Gl support) nvidia cards, tnt2 and/or some Geforce variants (someone should fix Xv and Opengl for these) matrox cards, at least g200 and g450 (I need these for mga_vid and tvout improvements) ATI cards, Rage Pro/128 and Radeon (I have mach64, so it's not needed) S3 cards - Virge variants, Savage etc. (who wants to test these? :) Intel 810 ??? CGA - for Gabucino :))) what else needed?

Hello mplayer developers. I turned -Wall on using yesterday's snapshot and made the changes in the attachment to make gcc happy. Continue the good work! With regards, Taco Witte

Support for --prefix switch
by André Dahlqvist 31 May '01

31 May '01

Hi I noticed that mplayer doesn't support the --prefix switch to configure that almost all apps support, which makes it impossible to install mplayer to another directory than /usr/local/... That also means you have to be root to install mplayer. Can support for the --prefix switch be added? -- André Dahlqvist <anedah-9(a)sm.luth.se> _______________________________________________ Mplayer-dev-eng mailing list Mplayer-dev-eng(a)lists.sourceforge.net http://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/mplayer-dev-eng

fbdev & S/PDIF
by Peter Niemayer 30 May '01

30 May '01

Hi, two questions: Arpi told me someone already implemented AC3 output through the S/PDIF outlet of a Soundblaser Live 5.1 - but it hasn't made it yet into the CVS. I'd be interested in getting that code to work - so please send me your code, even if it's incomplete... Then, I've experienced a problem with the fbdev driver: When I start mplayer from my (fbdev) console (no X11), it plays nice, but does not erase the console screen before playing and also prints out its stats at the bottom of the screen which is very irritating. Can you put in a small switch that directs mplayer to blank the console and not print out any stats while playing this way...? (btw.: the same applies to the mga_vid driver) Regards, Peter Niemayer _______________________________________________ Mplayer-dev-eng mailing list Mplayer-dev-eng(a)lists.sourceforge.net http://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/mplayer-dev-eng
