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 15/16bpp (x11,dga,fbdev,svga) playing MPEG or OpenDivX files: Problem: gcc 2.96 bug Workaround: ./configure --disable-mmx, or use gcc 2.95.x SOLVED: code fixed 3. SIGILL (signal 4) 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. 4. SIGILL (signal 4) on P3 using 2.2.x kernels: Problem: kernel 2.2.x doesn't have proper (working) SSE support Solution: upgrade kernel to 2.4.x Workaround: ./configure --disable-sse 5. General SIGILL (signal 4): Problem: you compiled and run mplayer in different machines (for example compiled on P3 and running on celeron) Solution: compile MPlayer on the same machine where you will use it! Workaround: ./configure --disable-sse etc. options Various A-V sync and other audio problems: ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ General audio delay or jerky sound (exists with all or many files): - audio buffer problems (buffer size badly detected) 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 SOLVED: try -framedrop Audio delay/de-sync specific to one or a few files: - bad file (please upload the file, so we can check & fix) Workaround: -ni or -bps option (for non-interlaved or bad files) -mc 0 (required for files with VBR audio) -delay option or +/- keys at runtime to adjust delay - your soundcard doesn't support 48Khz playback Workaround: buy a better soundcard... or try to decrease fps by 10% (use -fps 27 for a 30fps movie) - slow machine (if A-V is not around 0, and teh last number in the status line increasing) Workaround: -framedrop 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) Workaround: -bps SOLVED: code fixed (but -bps still can help) Signal 11 in decode_audio: - mp3lib doesn't handle (yet) well bad/broken audio streams Workaround: -afm 4 SOLVED: fixed mp3lib, it must be rock solid now! - 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 expect this from x11 or dga. OSD/sub flickering: - x11 driver: sorry, it can't be fixed now - xv driver: increase number of buffers in libvo/vo_xv.c, and recompile all A'rpi / Astral & ESP-team
