Known bugs: ~~~~~~~~~~~ Special system/cpu-specific bugs/problems: ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 1. SIGILL (signal 4) in draw_frame, on P3 (mostly with 2.2.x kernels): Problem: movups is crashing in libvo/fastmemcpy.h Workaround: ./configure --disable-fastmemcpy SOLVED: disabled SSE code in fastmemcpy.h ;( 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 0x00xxxxxx instead of 0x40xxxxxx Workaround: mplayer -afm 1 ... SOLVED: you are using some security kernel patch, like OpenWall etc. 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 these are system-dependent problems and aren't reproducable here. Please tell me if you can fix them or you are only a 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 have 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 an unsupported 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. [TODO: known libvo bugs] A'rpi / Astral & ESP-team
