Mplayer and fbdev

Why new version of mplayer (1.0pre5) is compiled without fbdev support ? Previous versions have had both fbdev and fbdev2 video output support. I don't see anything about this in mplayer changelog, so I think it's only compile time problem ?!?

best you file a bug report

  • [SOLVED] mplayer -vo fbdev

    On arch 08.01
    Trying to play movies at the console using

    I got the same result with fbdev2.  As my permissions for /dev/fb0 seemed to be OK,
    /home/g # ls -l /dev/fb0
    crw-rw---- 1 root video 29, 0 Aug 19 09:04 /dev/fb0
    I tried explicitly adding my uid at the end of the 'video' group in /etc/group,

    Thank you for your help, but I have also tried the scale option, both as scale=1366:768 and scale=1366:-3, which produced the same result as without scaling.  As you can readily see, the essential problem is that mplayer is being refused access to /dev/fb0.  Here is mp.log when using

  • Mplayer and framebuffer

    hello,
    I was wondering why framebuffer support was taken off the mplayer package ?
    I mean, on this last revision of the PKGBUILD (1.54), the following option
    --disable-fbdev was added, and I was wondering why.
    Thanks,
    --lf
    ---- EDIT ----
    I tried using makepkg myself, after removing the --disable-fbdev from the PKGBUILD,
    and got into 2 problems :
    1) wrong md5sum for one of the files (easy to fix)
    2) problems during compilation. I get this error while trying to compile :
    "In file included from vo_fbdev.c:21:
    ../osdep/kerneltwosix.h:4:31: linux/thread_info.h: No such file or directory
    In file included from /usr/include/linux/list.h:1,
                     from ../osdep/kerneltwosix.h:5,

    make: *** [libvo/libvo.a] Error 2
    ==> ERROR: Build Failed.  Aborting..."
    I'm still searching how to fix this.

    There's also the "sdl" video output to try. And mplayer and mplayer2 seem to have slightly different behaviour for me. Out of curiosity, what framebuffer driver are you using?

  • Problems with mplayer and the framebuffer

    I am having trouble running mplayer in the framebuffer using
    mplayer -vo fbdev
    or
    mplayer -vo fbdev2
    fbdev plays sound but says that I was unable to open the requisite video device (I am in the video group).  fbdev2 spits error messages to the screen, and plays no sound.  Currently, I do not have access to the computer with this problem, and cannot post the error messages.
    I did, however get mplayer in the framebuffer to work by installing directfb and recompiling mplayer.  This time, even though I am in the video group, I am still not allowed to access directfb unless I run as root (it runs perfectly as root).
    I'm sure I've missed something simple, but I cant see it.  I've read through what I believe is all of the requisite documentation.
    Thanks!
    edit: More descriptive title.

  • Mplayer and xine don't work

    I cannot say much. I've tested it with Mplayer and xine but both don't work. I want to use Mplayer so I'll speak only from mplayer.
    When I start Mplayer and go to DVD - Open Disc this error appears -> "Cannot open the IFO file for DVD title1"
    I don't know what I should do. I have the following packages installed on my machine mplayer 1.0pre5-5, libdvdcss 1.2.8-1, libdvdread 0.9.4-2 everything from pacman.
    I couldn't say more so I hope anybody know something.

    No my dvd is not mounted when try to run the dvd.
    Mplayer is pointing to /dev/dvd as normal and I made the right entries for generating /dev/dvd in /etc/devfsd.conf
    I only have /mnt/dvd cause I only have one Multi DVD drive which supports all. I think I should mention that it's a Laptop.
    I'll post the entries from devfsd.conf which counts to the possible failure generators.
    # CD-Rom Permissions for burningREGISTER
    ^ide/host0/bus1/target0/lun0/cd PERMISSIONS root.cdrom 666
    # Create /dev/dvd
    LOOKUP ^dvd$ CFUNCTION GLOBAL mksymlink ${mntpnt}/cdroms/cdrom0 dvd
    REGISTER ^cdroms/cdrom0$ CFUNCTION GLOBAL mksymlink ${devpath} dvd
    UNREGISTER ^cdroms/cdrom0$ CFUNCTION GLOBAL unlink dvd
    I suppose that it has to do with the packages from pacman. Eventually they are not compiled with the proper options to mplayer or something like that stuff. So if anyone has dvd playback running under the same packages as I, plz reply.

  • [solved]X11: MGA driver issues: video playback (mplayer) and 3D

    Hello,
    I am new to Arch, but I am not new to Linux. I installed Arch yesterday, before I was experimenting with it in VirtualBox and -to test the compatibility with my real hardware- I also tried the "Archie" live CD.
    But there was one thing that the combination of VirtualBox and Archie could not test: the X Window System itself, because in Archie there was an older and VESA-only version and you could not upgrade it and VirtualBox was, well, virtual.
    I have a Matrox card G550, so I installed the xf86-video-mga package. At first it did not work at all (blank screen), but when I switched the console from framebuffer to "normal" text mode it started working, but...
    1) the 3D performance (glxgears) is about half of the FPS I got on my previous Linux system
    2) when I tried to play video with mplayer, xine or vlc, there was blue screen instead of the picture. - I can send you a screenshot, but it's just a blue box where the picture should be
    I discovered, that this bluescreen thing is "solved" with some arcane xorg.conf option I discovered with "man mga" - in fact, I tried each of the options in hope for this to fix:
    Option "ShadowFB" "on"
    but this thing slows the 3D performance even more, so the OpenGL version of Doom is not playable any more :(
    Also the mplayer itself behaves differently than on my old Linux: When I resize the window or go fullscreen, on the old system it resized or fullscreened the entire picture and now just the window is bigger and the picture remains the same. I solved this with -vo sdl, but it seems the picture has poorer quality in this case
    at all, I think something is missing in the xorg configuration, because the mplayer and 3D behavior suggest so.

    the solution was to downgrade the x server and matrox drivers
    (I found the old packages at http://mir2.archlinuxfr.org/archlinux/c … i686.old/)
    the following packages were downgraded:
    xf86-input-keyboard-1.1.1-1.pkg.tar.gz
    xf86-input-mouse-1.2.1-1.pkg.tar.gz
    xf86-video-mga-1.4.6.1-1.pkg.tar.gz
    xorg-server-1.2.0-5.pkg.tar.gz
    xorg-xkb-utils-1.0.2-2.pkg.tar.gz

  • Mplayer and VirtualBox error after installing ATI Drivers

    I recently switched from the Open Source drivers for my ATI video card.  Since that time some programs are refusing to load.
    I switched to the Catalyst repository to install the new drivers for my card.
    The specific error message I get when running the mplayer in the terminal is
    mplayer: error while loading shared libraries: libdirectfb-1.4.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
    the message for VirtualBox is
    VirtualBox: supR3HardenedMainGetTrustedMain: dlopen("/opt/VirtualBox/VirtualBox.so",) failed: libdirectfb-1.4.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
    So far only 2 programs have been giving me this error are mplayer and VirtualBox.
    I have tried reinstalling directfb and mplayer, but this doesn't fix things.
    I have run ldd `which mplayer` and the following is missing
    libdirectfb-1.4.so.0 => not found
    libfusion-1.4.so.0 => not found
    libdirect-1.4.so.0 => not found
    I am running 64bit Arch.
    Thanks for your help

    Thanks

    After running that, I discovered that sdl needed to be rebuilt. Once I did that, everything works fine.

  • Mplayer and gnome

    I guess it's because I am new.  I was able to do it before on a previous installation.  When I try to click on a movie file from the file browser, I won't open in mplayer.  I can drag and drop it in mplayer and it works, but not clicking.
    I get failed to open file///.....avi
    But I can open the files fine with mplayer alone.
    Is this a bug in gnome or do I have something not configured correctly?
    I am using gmplayer, but smplayer doesn't work either.
    Edit:  Sorry again.  The videos I am trying to access are on an NTFS drive running with fuse and ntfs-3g.
    Update: I copied a video over to my home directory on ext3 and am still having the same problem, so fuse and ntfs-3g eliminated as problem.

  • [SOLVED]mplayer and urxvt problems after update

    Hello to all fellow archers!
    Couple of days back, I updated xorg-server, like most of the people around here, so I asume that issues I`m going to describe, could be related to xorg-server being recently updated.
    First issue is related to mplayer not playing movies in fullscreen format, despite being told to do so. The image size of a video is about 20% of screen resolution size, while the rest of the screen is just black.

    I tried switching between many different video out drivers, the only one that plays video normaly is x11, but the image size is very small.

    I found a partial solution to mplayer problem in this tread http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=60054 where patroclo7 stated, that from this update on, X is using autodetection and doesn`t need xorg.conf anymore.
    Anyways I followed the advice deleted my xorg.conf and rebooted arch without xorg.conf. Everything works, even the video in mplayer is running at normal size, however the default screen resolution is a bit to high.
    I would like to set it to 1024x768 (monitor, philips 107E5) but don`t have a clue how to change screen resolution without xorg.conf being present. I`m using openbox as a standalone wm.
    I still have a backup of my working xorg.conf file, so I can switch between xorg.conf and the other config.
    Just for the record, video files are displayed properly using vlc as media player on both described configurations.
    To sum everything up, how to set screen resolution at 1024x 768 without xorg.conf being present or how to fix mplayer displaying movies in a very small screen/box, despite running in fullscreen mode (using xorg.conf).
    My second problem is regarding urxvt and its borderless. If I set it to true urxvt hangs on start everytime. The terminal is displayed in top left corner of the screen but it`s frozen and can`t be used, while being set to false works like a charm.

    The solution for mplayer using xorg.conf file as follows:
    To get fullscreen video working just add
    zoom = yes
    to /.mplayer/config
    In case if you are using gui for mplayer and get the following error trying to play a video file
    Error opening/initializing the selected video_out (-vo) device
    Open /.mplayer/gui.conf and change vo_driver from "xv" to "x11".
    Urxvt solution is described here http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=457421 but also check this for explanation http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.wi … enbox/3947

    Update your pacman database (pacman -Sy) or really force it to update (pacman -Syy).  The packages you are trying to download are not the latest versions

  • Mplayer and xine crash on startup

    I got a problem...
    I installed mplayer and xine via pacman and everytime I try to start it the application crashes. But it's not as if that's everything, the X server restarts itself, too, and I end up at the GDM login screen. That is really annoying since it doesn't allow me to play any videos or DVDs.
    Has anyone heard about this problem before? Any suggestions?

    EDIT: if you are not interested in a wrong statement, please read on to the next post, thx :-)
    sarah31 wrote:Could it be that KDE needs to be recompiled against the new glibc? Have you contacted the maintainer of the KDE packages? Have you had the same problems with other X applications that are not KDE based?
    to check this, i played with kde a little (starting some kde bins and checking)

  • Mplayer and Thunderbird only outputs Bus Error

    Hi guys
    I have a "small" issue. I reinstalled my Arch the other day and when I tried to start mplayer and thunderbird they both just generate an error.
    root@fredrik:/home/fredrik> mplayer
    Bus error
    root@fredrik:/home/fredrik> thunderbird
    /usr/lib/thunderbird-2.0/run-mozilla.sh: line 131:  2656 Bus error               "$prog" ${1+"$@"}
    Trying to figure out what went wrong using ldd to see if there is some shared library problem does this:
    root@fredrik:/home/fredrik> ldd /usr/bin/mplayer
    ldd: exited with unknown exit code (135)
    stracing mplayer gives me this
    root@fredrik:/home/fredrik> strace /usr/bin/mplayer
    execve("/usr/bin/mplayer", ["/usr/bin/mplayer"], [/* 57 vars */]) = -1 EFAULT (Bad address)
    --- SIGBUS (Bus error) @ 0 (0) ---
    +++ killed by SIGBUS +++
    Does anyone know what this is? I'd rather not reinstall everything just because some lib is broken.
    ps.
       just now I'm reinstalling all my "lib" packages in a hope that something just randomly broke when i installed.
       pacman -S $(for i in $(pacman -Q |grep lib|awk {'print $1'}); do echo -n "$i "; done)
    ds.
    Best regards
    Fredrik Eriksson

    I had the same problem. In the same time, "/sbin/ldconfig: file /usr/lib/lib<whatever>.so.X is truncated" errors begun to appear (after pacman upgrades).
    It was apparent, that some libraries were truncated (probably because of unavailable disk space during last upgrade (which I fixed with pacman -Scc and localepurge)), one of them was the same as the one appearing at almost very end of strace output, just before the failure (libmng).
    Running ldconfig manually and reinstalling corresponding packages fixed the problem.

  • Mplayer and DVD device

    Hi,
    seem to have hit a strange problem with mplayer and DVD playback.  When I run mplayer with
    mplayer /dev/cdroms/cdrom0 dvd://
    everything start fine, and then is quits saying, basically, it cannot open the drive.
    After much mucking about it seems that the problem was that there was no /dev/dvd and when I added the link all was fine.
    I also found the same problem in gmplayer even after changing the settings to point to /dev/cdroms/cdrom0.
    I must have missed something here, so if anyone has any ideas that would be great.
    Thanks
    Jon

    you should have run
    mplayer -dvd-device /dev/cdroms/cdrom0 dvd://

    As you can see above it first loads the intel module and then goes on to try and load all the faulty ones. KDE still starts without any fuzz and I think gnome does too I am however trying to test XMonad out and it only goes into a black screen with a pointer, and when I terminate and it seems that this is to blame.
    And when I terminate the Xmonad session with alt+shift+q xorg has outputted the following:
    xauth: creating new authority file /home/vesz/.serverauth.1522
    This is a pre-release version of the X server from The X.Org Foundation.

    Maybe fbcon to blame? or is that just something that is apart of fbdev. I am also using KMS with 'options i915 modeset=1' to get native resolution in console if that might have something to do with this.
    Thanks, hope I didn't post too much worthless stuff
    EDIT: This is the way xmonad works, I didn't load anything in config still I think all the failed module loads are rather annoying and would like to get rid of them if anyone knows how.

    What is on the command line for your kernel in your grub configuration file?  (/boot/grub/menu.lst)
    For Intel chips, when using mode setting and drm, Intel provides its own frame buffer that is not compatible with any other frame buffer (VGA, VESA, NG, etc...)
    Do not specify any video settings on the kernel command line.  No video=... , No VGA= ..., nothing.
    After the kernel loads, the Intel frame buffer should start about the same time as the first kernel modules get loaded.  There is a good article at http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Intel_Graphics 
    If the frame buffer doesn't start, see the bit about Early Start.
    Good Luck
    Edit:
    After reading your problem more closely, I may have misunderstood.  The problem with the black screen after logout is not the fault of trying to load the other, non-existent drivers.  It is due to a bug in KDM.  The black screen does not occur with GDM.  (Personal Aside:Unfortunately I cannot abide the look of GDM)
    As a work around, edit /usr/share/config/kdm/kdmrc and find the block labeled :
    [X-:*-Core]
    and add a line that reads:
    TerminateServer=true
    The black screen is preceded by an xorg-crash.  The terminate-server causes KDM to kill any existing server at log out and start anew (originally this was to manage memory leaks)

  • XBMC/mplayer and KDE Desktop effects

    Hi,
    i have setup a arch based HTPC with XBMC on top of KDE, but there is one thing i were not able to resolve: The XBMC GUI and playing a video on it gets laggy as soon as i DISABLE the kde desktop effects. My system is i3/sandy bridge based with integrated intel graphics, vaapi installed.
    1. tried different playback settings within XBMC, same results
    2. as soon as i disable the kde desktop effects, xbmc becomes slow and laggy, even if i dont restart it, if i enable desktop effects its smooth again
    3. mplayer reacts the same way when used with -vo gl or -vo gl2, so it could be somehow opengl related. With -vo xv it runs smooth in both configurations.
    4. Cpu load is constantly <20%
    5. tried as root user, same results
    6. glxinfo reports direct rendering is enabled
    so any ideas how to resolve that problem? or how to find out whats going on?
    you may ask why i want to disable desktop effects, well with desktop effects on, videos run almost perfect, but sometimes there are smaller lags that, i guess, can be related to the desktop effects eating resources, so i want to try without them.
    here is the custom part of my xorg config, tearfree was needet to get a vsync-enabled video playback:
    #20-intel.conf
    Section "Device"
    Identifier "Intel Graphics"
    Driver "intel"
    Option "AccelMethod" "sna"
    Option "TearFree" "true"
    #Option "AccelMethod" "uxa"
    #Option "AccelMethod" "xaa"
    EndSection
    Section "dri"
    Mode 0666
    EndSection

    Security vulnerability CVE-2012-0946 in the NVIDIA UNIX driver was disclosed to NVIDIA on March 20th, 2012. The vulnerability makes it possible for an attacker who has read and write access to the GPU device nodes to reconfigure GPUs to gain access to arbitrary system memory. NVIDIA is not aware of any reports of this vulnerability, outside of the disclosure which was made privately to NVIDIA.
