This happens after todays upgrade of x264.

For the common user, I'm not sure if that's the case anymore. When ffmpeg2theora was released originally, there was no internal support for Theora in FFmpeg. Since then they have been actively replacing everything Xiph including Theora and Vorbis. The fact is though, most people who encode videos will never use the more professional features anyway; those are mostly for advanced streaming. Of course, there are plenty of people here that will clearly leverage these tools to the edge of their capabilities.
--EDIT--
I may be wrong about the full readiness. I just picked this from the FFmpeg dev mailing list. This should give everyone an idea about how they feel about Xiph:

I do.  Can you please look up the home addresses of the Xiph devs,
while I fetch the shotgun?

  • [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`m using vesa driver and my video card is

    xorg.conf http://pastebin.com/f314eaaed
    Xorg.0.log http://pastebin.com/f570dbcf5
    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

  • [solved] mplayer and m3u files

    I'm trying to stream music from netjuke through mplayer. Netjuke creates .m3u files but when I tell mplayer to play the file I get the following error:
    Win32 LoadLibrary failed to load: avisynth.dll, /usr/lib/win32/avisynth.dll, /usr/local/lib/win32/avisynth.dll
    I have the codecs package installed and there are a lot of codecs in /usr/lib/win32 but no avisynth.
    How can I fix this?

  • [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.
    here is my config:

    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

  • 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.

  • 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.

    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 crashes system

    I'm having trouble playing videos with mplayer and all guis for it. Trying to do so causes a pretty severe crash; it takes me back to the login screen! I did a test in terminal and wrote the output to a file so I can share it with you. Here is said output. Hopefully someone here can help me!
    Edit: I just tested it in Parole, which, AFAIK, isn't just a wrapper for mplayer. I got a crash then as well. I can post a log if desired.

    Have you tried various file-types? Oggs, flacs, mp3s, et al.?

    You should change the title then.
    When did this start happening? Was it after a system update by any chance? In that case you might need to try synching to a different server.

  • 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 :-)

    it IS a glibc trouble!
    EDIT: it is NOT!
    EDIT2: actually, it is, at least in a way ... memcpy() is from glibc but used in libpng intensively, so the trouble was in memcpy, but it was caused by libpng 1.2.6rc1

  • 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?

Maybe you are looking for
