[Solved] Problem with playing a certain .mkv movie (using mplayer)

Firstly, I have no idea about whether this is a issue of mplayer itself or the enviroment it's being run in but I'll try here first
I got this movie that has a few points in it (always the same) where the player just stops playing the video, when I ran the player in terminal it says End Of File is reached. If I skip over such point I can keep on watching... ..until it happens again in about an 45 mins or so.
after that I tried mplayer2 with similar results, only this time it says: "MPlayer interrupted by signal 11 in module: flip_page"
Of course I googled this and it seems a few people have had similar problems but I've found 0 actual solutions to this. It leads me to think that either I'm just doing something wrong and I should have configured something somewhere or this is just a very rare problem. So which one is it? Is there anybody here who could tell me what causes this and how to fix it?
(by the way MPC-HC in win7 plays the video just fine)

That would seem to be the only thing to do here as I found that dragon player works with that vid flawlessly. That means it's the players fault then...

  • [SOLVED]Problem with sound in HDMI

    Hello good society of Arch
    Now I have problems with sound from HDMI. I use Arch as an tvPc, wasting movies and tv shows on it. I use ALSA and it works well, except of a few files that I have, then there is picture but sound is either twisted or not played at all. It does not matter whether I use vlc or mplayer, I'm experiencing the same problem.
    I have not found anything about this with google, other problems have been either hdmi sound working or not, not like it is with me, sometimes it works and sometimes it don't.
    I know that the files are ok, I can play them in anther pc I have (also using Arch on that pc).
    Does anybody know what the problem might be? What do I have to look at to find out what the problem is? This have been like this for some time now, but I haven't looked into it before, because I don't use TV that muts, but the wife does and when she stats blaming Arch, I have too do something about it.
    I have never encountered problem with Arch that i cant solve by using this forum and google
    Thanks

    af=resample=48000
    I will look at this when i come home from work, thanks.

  • [SOLVED] Problem with UTC and CST

    I probably made a mistake while installing Arch Linux and the clocks in my computer are all a mess.
    Right now the UTC time its 6+ hours, I changed it in the bios to the right hour but that give me -6 hours in the local time thats displayed in Arch Linux and gave me the right hour in Windows 7.

    PS: Already did everything in the wiki and tried with some [SOLVED] posts.
    Edit: The problem with this its that when i use Windows 7 (to play DotA... or using the iPod, since no player can edit the files in the ipod) the hour is 6+ hours, that causes problems with the configuration in the ipod since each time i connect it the clock (that its also my only clock) changes to 6+ hours. Its maybe irrelevant for someone but i would like to have the right hour in all my systems.

    I am with Scimmia, everything looks correct.   But, If you boot Windows, it will try to change the BIOS clock to local time unless you tell it otherwise.
    Edit for both of your edits.  Yes, fix windows

    I'm afraid this is by design.
    You cannot Airplay Mirror a DVD using DVD Player - Apple block  screen mirroring of certain image data which might be protected.
    I've a funny feeling Airplay mirroring can potentially be interecpted and decoded so someone could potentially copy the video stream (which would be poorer than DVD anyway).
    Try VLC Player:

  • I have a problem with the audio on a movie I downloaded

    I am having a problem with the audio on a movie that I downloaded.  It is scratchy and difficult to listen to.  How can I fix this?

    Depending upon what country that you are in (films can't be re-downloaded in all countries) then try deleting the film from your iTunes library and redownload it via the Purchased link under Quicklinks on the right-hand side of the iTunes store home page on your computer's iTunes (or delete it from your iOS device and redownload it via the Purchased tab in the iTunes Store app on it)
    If you aren't in a country where you can re-download films or if it re-downloads with the same problem then try the 'report a problem' page to contact iTunes Support : http://reportaproblem.apple.com
    If the 'report a problem' link doesn't work then you can try contacting iTunes support via this page : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/- click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Purchases, Billing & Redemption

  • Problems with playing songs in iTunes

    as the subject says. I have som problems with playing songs. not everyone just a some..
    If we take for example that a song is 8min. then at 1.40 it just stops and goes to the next one. I can jump over it with pressing in the middle for example. it plays. as normal. UNTIL. 3 mins. then the same problems appear. I don't really understand how. just between 1.40-1.50 iTunes thinks that the song is finished. I know my english isn't so good but cuz there is no swedish support. I have to write here. any answers would be good

    I'm having a similar problem.
    Every now and then, a track from a ripped CD or from iTunes or from eMusic will "look" OK in iTunes (or on my iPod), but when the track plays, it gets partially through and it jumps to the next track in the playlist.
    For example, if playback of track 1 pauses and jumps to track 2 at 1:30 into playback of track 1, & I click on 1:31 or later in track 1, the rest of track 1 will play fine. But if the playback of track 1 starts at the before the "skip point," the track will stop & iTunes (or iPod) goes on to the next track in the playlist. If I locate the file (on my external drive) and play it in the finder, there's always buzzing sound at the point where the iTunes jumps to the next track.
    For ripped CD's this is not a huge deal, I just re-rip & usually all is well. With eMusic, I can download again, but with iTunes, I have to file a complaint & so far they've just credited my account, which is OK, but time consuming.
    At first I thought the problem was with my optical drive, but then the problem started happening with downloads from iTunes and eMusic as well. NONE of these shenanigans happened before I upgraded to iTunes 7.6, so I'm wondering if that's where the problem is. One thing's for sure: I'm not going to "jump" at the next upgrade of iTunes!
    I'm totally stumped & bummed. iTunes used to be a really good friend, now I find myself wondering if I should bother with putting my entire CD collection on iTunes if it's no longer as reliable as it used to be.

    Most people have no problems with installing firefox as an upgrade, but there are quite a few things that can cause problems. Please have a look at the articles
    * [[software Update Failed]] <-- clickable link (blue ) --
    * [[firefox will not start]]
    * [[firefox does not work]]
    Post back after you read them and say what you tried. Have you ensured you used an admin account, possibly needing to check the UAC setting, and that security software is not blocking the changes. You should certainly try starting in firefox's [[safe mode]] either from a menu/icon option or by holding the shift key as you attempt to run firefox.
    Is the browser icon you see on the desktop, and a firefox icon ?

  • Im having problem with the dvd quality, I'm using compressor to convert the video fils from apple prores to mpeg2 .It doesn't matter how long my video is even if its just 5 minutes  I'm getting cut edges in the video , does anyone have any idea ?

    Im having a problem with the dvd quality, I'm using compressor to convert the video fils from apple prores to mpeg2 .It doesn't matter how long my video is even if its just 5 minutes  I'm getting cut edges/lines  in the video specialy if i have titles it comes up really bad , I took the same video to a friend of mine who have PC and he uses Encore , did the encoding there and it was just fine no problems! BTW I tried using doferent setings in compressor from CBR and VBR I even pushed up the setings to 8 or 9 BR and still no luck !
    does anyone have any idea ?
    Thanks in advence ...

    Let's focus attention on just the Sony. (What model and what resolution are you shooting?)
    For now, I'll assume you're shooting 1080i.
    Take a representaive clip  into a new sequence. Add a title.
    In your sequence, make sure field dominance is set to Upper.
    Set render settings to Pro Res 422.
    After rendering, export QT self contained.
    Import into Compressor (I'm now referring to v3.5).
    Select the 90 minute Best quality DVD preset.
    Open frame controls and turn on (click the gear icon). Set Resize filter to Best.
    Submit burn and check quality on TV.
    Good luck.

  • Problem with playing HD videos

    Hello,
    My problem is with playing HD videos ( 720p or Full HD).
    After upgrading Windows on my laptop and installing drivers, everything was fine till i tried to solve the win 8.1 problem with display drivers and inability to change the level of brightness. After that I discovered that the laptop can't play videos in higher res when they are offline (they become choppy and start to lag behind audio), so i figured the problem is in codecs or the player because any video was playing online. I have tried different codec packs like K lite or FFdshow, tried many players also like VLC, Sm, BS, WM Classic...nothing helped. So  i deleted all those players and codecs so now i cant play HD videos online either.
    Also i have noticed that when i start any hd video CPU usage goes up to 95%.
    Any suggestions what should i do next ?

    Hi there @milosevarsen 
    I understand that you are having performance issues when watching videos. I am happy to help. Since your CPU usage is climbing to 95%, that is a part or symptom of the problem. 
    Work through this page. The main thing is to make sure you control what is running on your system and the amount of available memory. So you will want to look for  viruses and malware, and then what other applications are loaded on your system. Over time these tend to accumulate, and slow down your computer.
    Resolving Slow System Performance (Windows 8)
    The other option would be to look at possibly upgrading your memory. When a file is much larger than the available memory, you are going to see the CPU running harder.
    I hope this helps.
