1 Yes, this is the MPlayer FAQ. | |
2 ============================= | |
3 | |
4 About: | |
5 ~~~~~~ | |
6 Many people asked same questions so I decided to write this stuff. | |
7 I know that people will never read this but at least i try to | |
8 pull down number of these mails. | |
9 And from now i can say that "read the fuckin' FAQ!" :-) | |
10 | |
11 Let's ask! | |
12 ~~~~~~~~~~ | |
13 Q: SDL output doesn't work or compile. Problem is .... | |
14 A: It works only with SDL v1.1.7 (and maybe newer) | |
15 It does NOT work with 1.1.6, 1.1.5 1.1.4 1.1.3 1.0.4 etc, don't ask. | |
16 | |
17 Q: I am still having trouble compiling with SDL support. gcc says something | |
18 about "undefined reference to `SDL_EnableKeyRepeat'" What's now? | |
19 A: Where did you install the SDL library? If you installed in /usr/local | |
20 (the default) then edit the top level config.mak and add | |
21 "-L/usr/local/lib " after "X_LIBS=" Now type make. You're done! | |
22 | |
23 Q: I have problem ... with the SDL driver. | |
24 A: It's very experimental & buggy code, and it's UNSUPPORTED by us. | |
25 Please do NOT report bugs or ask features relating to SDL. | |
26 But you can improve it, and send us patches! | |
27 | |
28 Q: It doesn't compile, and it misses uint64_t inttypes.h and similar things... | |
29 A: copy DOCS/inttypes.h to MPlayer directory (cp DOCS/inttypes.h .) | |
30 try again... if fail, contact me | |
31 | |
32 Q: I have Pentium III but ./configure doesn't detect SSE | |
33 A: Only kernel versions 2.4.x supports SSE | |
34 | |
35 Q: fullscreen option (-fs) and/or -xy doesn't work with x11 driver (-vo x11) | |
36 A: x11 driver doesn't support scaling, and it can't change screen resolution. | |
37 Yes, I know that it should be but I have no time to write software | |
38 scaling routines and experiencing with XVidMode extension... | |
39 You can do it yourself, just press ALT,CTRL,- or ALT,CTRL,+ simultaneously, | |
40 see X-server docs for details. | |
41 | |
42 Q: audio goes out of sync playing .avi file | |
43 A: try with -bps or -nobps option | |
44 if still bad, send me (upload to ftp) that file, I'll check. | |
45 | |
46 Q: what is the meaning of numbers in the status line? | |
47 A: see: | |
48 A: 2.1 V: 2.2 A-V: -0.167 ct: 0.042 57 41% 0% 2.6% 0 | |
49 - A: audio position in seconds | |
50 - V: video position in seconds | |
51 - A-V: audio-video difference in seconds (delay) | |
52 - ct: total A-V sync correction done | |
53 - frames played (counting from last seek) | |
54 - video codec cpu usage in percent (for mpeg it includes video_out too!) | |
55 - video_out cpu usage for avi, 0 for mpg (see above) | |
56 - audio codec cpu usage in percent | |
57 - dropped bad frames (mpg only) | |
58 Most of them are for debug purposes, and will be removed soon. | |
59 | |
60 Q: Why is video_out cpu usage zero (0%) for mpeg files? | |
61 A: It's not zero, but it's built in into codec, so can't be measured separated. | |
62 You should try to play the file using -vo null and then -vo ... and check | |
63 the difference to see video_out speed... | |
64 | |
65 Q: OpenGL (-vo gl) output doesn't work (hangup/black window/X11 errors) | |
66 A: your opengl driver doesn't support dynamic texture chanegs (glTexSubImage) | |
67 it's known not to work with X 4.0.x DRI drivers and nVidia's binary shit. | |
68 it's known to work with Utah-GLX and Matrox G400 card. | |
69 it will not work with 3DFX cards because the 256x256 texture size limit. | |
70 | |
71 Q: I have g200/g400, how to compile/use mga_vid driver? | |
72 A: read INSTALL and README... | |
73 | |
74 Q: What's XMMP? (it's XMMS or XMPS but mispelled?) | |
75 A: It's a new project, see www.frozenproductions.com for details | |
76 | |
77 Q: There are error messages about file not found /usr/lib/win32/.... | |
78 A: Download & install w32codec.zip from *our* FTP | |
79 (avifile's codec package has different DLL set) | |
80 | |
81 Q: It wants to load l3codeca.acm, but I don't have such file. | |
82 A: You should use w32codec.zip from MPlayer FTP, instead of avifile's pack! | |
83 | |
84 Q: ...... works with avifile/aviplay while doesn't with MPlayer | |
85 A: MPlayer != avifile | |
86 The only common thing between these players is the Win32 DLL loader. | |
87 The codecs (dll) sets, syncronization, demultiplexing etc is totaly | |
88 different and shouldn't be compared. | |
89 If something works with aviplay it doesn't mean that MPlayer should do | |
90 it and vice versa. You should contact me, I'll fix the bug!!! | |
91 | |
92 Q: Indeo 3.x/4.x movies are viewed upside-down!!!? | |
93 A: It's a known bug (really it's a bug/limitation of the DLL codec) | |
94 | |
95 Q: Indeo 3.x,4.x video doesn't work at 32bpp resolutions (16,24 bpp are ok) | |
96 A: It's a known bug (really it's a bug/limitation of the DLL codec) | |
97 | |
98 Q: I've got 'MPlayer interrupted by signal 11' in module audio_setup or | |
99 decode_audio. | |
100 A: It's a damaged file with bad mp3 audio stream. Try it with -afm 4 | |
101 | |
102 Q: It aborts with signal 11 playing a file with IMA-ADPCM audio. | |
103 A: This codec isn't yet supported! | |
104 | |
105 Q: Why do you enjoy making that much pre-releases? | |
106 A: Download one and you'll know! | |
107 | |
108 Q: Are there rpm/deb/... packages of MPlayer? | |
109 A: Not yet. | |
110 | |
111 Q: Are there any mailing lists on MPlayer? | |
112 A: Yes! See README on how to subscribe them! | |
113 | |
114 Q: I've found a nasty bug when I tried to play my favourite video!! | |
115 Who should I inform? | |
116 A: Inform the MPlayer-users mailing list about your problem. *ALWAYS* | |
117 read the README about what information we NEED to identify your problem. | |
118 Use the developers addresses (specified in AUTHORS) only if you want to | |
119 flame, or want to ask for a date. ;) | |
