"selected video_out device incompatible with this codec"
by Draco 15 Nov '02

15 Nov '02

Hello, I'm using mplayer for a few months now, and I remember that some weeks ago, the color controls worked for my computer perfectly... so the XV output must have been working then... I've got an Nvidia Card and I'm using their binary driver... And since a few days the color controls don't work. (I installed CVS Snapshot from today (20021114). On mpeg1 / 2 Files, mplayer tells me: Sorry, selected video_out device is incompatible with this codec. VDecoder init failed :( and then it uses X11. On DivX Files however, it doesn't display that error message, but it uses X11 anyway. My ~/.mplayer/config file says "vo=xv", and if I append "-vo=xv" to the command line that doesn't change anything... That's the output of mplayer started with an mpeg2 file: Cache fill: 0.00% (0 bytes) Detected MPEG-PS file format! VIDEO: MPEG2 480x480 (aspect 2) 29.97 fps 3165.0 kbps (395.6 kbyte/s) ========================================================================== Opening audio decoder: [mp3lib] MPEG layer-2, layer-3 AUDIO: 44100 Hz, 2 ch, 16 bit (0x10), ratio: 28000->176400 (224.0 kbit) Selected audio codec: [mp3] afm:mp3lib (mp3lib MPEG layer-2, layer-3) ========================================================================== vo: X11 running at 1152x864 with depth 24 and 32 bpp (":0" => local display) ========================================================================== Opening video decoder: [mpegpes] MPEG 1/2 Video passthrough VDec: vo config request - 480 x 480 (preferred csp: Mpeg PES) Couldn't find matching colorspace - retrying with -vop scale...

VDecoder init failed :( Opening video decoder: [libmpeg2] MPEG 1/2 Video decoder v2.0 libmpeg2: Using MMXEXT for IDCT transform libmpeg2: Using MMXEXT for motion compensation VDec: vo config request - 480 x 480 (preferred csp: Planar YV12) VDec: using Planar YV12 as output csp (no 0) Movie-Aspect is 1.33:1 - prescaling to correct movie aspect. VO: [xv] 480x480 => 640x480 Planar YV12 Selected video codec: [mpeg12] vfm:libmpeg2 (MPEG 1 or 2) If you need a full bug report let me know. I'm too lazy to create one if I don't know that it needed at all... Thanx! Draco

Re: mp3PRO support

>Hi, > >for those who are waiting for the mp3pro support i've good news! >I've contacted the mp3pro guys and they said that they're working >on a DirectShow decoder plugin too (which API is currently supported in >MPlayer!) > >So be patient, the support will come! Yes the DirectShow API is supported to some degree in mplayer it would still be far better to have a native decoder, that way different archs can also benefit. But in the end it comes down to simply most people dont have the mp3 pro encoders cause they cost $$ and for the rest of us we have vorbis which is free and opensource anyway. Why do we need mp3PRO when we have other audio compression formats which are better. Does mp3PRO support multiple channels etc like vorbis does. I just think in the end that because we have vorbis that mp3PRO isnt needed, by all means add support but why use it for encoding when we have other codecs available without the license problems associated with mp3. - Claymen -- BOFH excuse #302: microelectronic Riemannian curved-space fault in write-only file system

Problem with P4???
by S. Vandenbroeck 14 Nov '02

14 Nov '02

Hi, I just installed MPlayer on my new P4 but when I try to open it, the gui doesn't show up! If I try to start it from the terminal I get this message: ---------------------- CPU: Intel Pentium 4 Xeon Foster (Family: 8, Stepping: 2) CPUflags: MMX: 1 MMX2: 1 3DNow: 0 3DNow2: 0 SSE: 1 SSE2: 1 Compiled with RUNTIME CPU Detection - warning, it's not optimal! To get best performance, recompile MPlayer with --disable-runtime-cpudetection ---------------------- How do I disable this cpu detection? Do I have to reinstall it and how do I do that (I'm very, very new to linux)?? Is there a special version for the Pentium 4? _________________________________________________________________ Direct chatten met je vrienden met MSN Messenger http://messenger.msn.nl

What is the best audio Driver in mplayer? SDL, OSS or ALSA?
by xeonit 14 Nov '02

14 Nov '02

Whats your experience with the audio driver of mplayer and with which driver you became the best sound? I have the feeling it is SDL but don't know. __________________________________________________________________ Gesendet von Yahoo!

Subtitles in ogg streams: subdelay does not work
by Yourself 14 Nov '02

14 Nov '02

Well, i've noticed that the subtitles in an ogm file cannot be shifted using -subdelay or during playback using z and x. I don't know if this is due to the way they are stored in the ogm, or it is a bug of mplayer. the ogm was created using: 1. mplayer <file> -vo null -hardframedrop -ao pcm -aofile dummy.wav 2. oggenc dummy.wav -q0.5 audio.ogg 3. ogmmerge -o movie.ogm -A <file> audio.ogg subs.srt I know i can shift the subs by -dumpsrtsub them shifted but this is not practical for this case as in the middle of file, there is some damage and the subs must be shifted manually. But when I inserted the subs in the ogm, I couldn't do that anymore. Any ideas? -- yourself

There is a thread about it on the -cygwin list (in case you aren't on that list). IMHO we are close to having it solved. I wouldn't call it 'intentionally broken' though, just buggy. :) /S.

Try the SDL vo, or try -vo directx:noaccel with the -ao win32 sound. That seems to work nicely for me here on NT4 (other than no video, but that's being looked into ;) /S.
