BUGREPORT: WMV files will not play without `-demuxer lavf'

Hello All,

MPlayer cannot play any WMV file without the `-demuxer lavf' flag.
There is no video or audio, only the message:
`Invalid number of channels 48000, assuming 2.' repeating
forever.

MPlayer version: SVN-r35715-4.7.2
O/S: Windows 8 Pro
CPU: Intel Core 2 Duo 2.53 GHz
GCC: 4.7.2

Binutils: 2.23.1

It happens with any WMV file, but I uploaded quality_sample_wmv.wmv
and quality_sample_wmv.txt containing output of `mplayer -v' to
ftp://upload.mplayerhq.hu/incoming anyway.

BUGREPORT: -msgcolor causes ANSI escape sequences in output

The -msgcolor flag causes ANSI escape sequences to be displayed

This is the first time that I have compiled MPlayer myself

That's usually the best way to do things, just use configure.

   ./configure --enable-menu --enable-static --enable-gui

That's usually the only three options I use. Sometimes, I  just use the
--enable-menu

The configure script is very well thought out and thorough. The general rule
is that if configure does not enable a certain option, it's usually because
it won't compile.

Sherpya is an advanced programmer. He knows what to do and when to do it.

If you still cannot successfully compile the program, usually it's a problem
with the compiler. Try using the latest gcc 3.X.X compiler. Or try using the
GCC 4.2 compiler. Have had problems on the latest releases of compilers from
cygwin and MinGW.

The configure script updates the ffmpeg directory now. And it will use git
to download and place the ffmpeg directory in the mplayer tree. So, don't
run configure in the ffmpeg directory. The Mplayer configure script should

Server move, possible outages

Hello everyone,
(sorry for this massive SPAM)
mplayerhq is moving to a different server and this mailing list is affected.
This will happen on monday, in parts possibly earlier.
We intend of course to make this move completely seamless but it'll
probably a bit more messy than that.
Therefore we wanted to tell you about it, what the current status is,
what might go wrong and you can do if this is an issue for you.
The rest is a bit technical, if you do not understand anything just
ignore it :-).
If there's some service you depend on that is not mentioned consider
asking us.

1) DNS: we switched to DNS on the new server, but the change hasn't
   propagated yet. The server will be the same as the ffmpeg.org one,
   so if necessary you can e.g. manually add a line like
   192.190.173.45  www1.mplayerhq.hu www.mplayerhq.hu mplayerhq.hu svn.mplayerhq.hu mplayerhq.eu
   to /etc/hosts.
   IRC on freenode.net, #mplayer should work as emergency communication
   channel.
2) Homepage: The mplayerhq.hu homepage is already up and running
   on the server, some download links are not working currently though
3) Mailing lists: basic setup done, data like archives and subscriber list
   still missing.
   In the worst case you would have to subscribe again - we do _not_ expect that
   to happen.
4) Repositories: We have full backups of the repositories up and running
   (minus latest commits) but some details like who has write access and commit
   hooks are missing. It might be better not to use them for a few days.
5) FTP: All data is backed-up (in several places) but not all will be

Using an ATI Rage PCI XL on a dual 2.4 Ghz Xeon Server running Windows 2003
Server with 8MB memory built in. It's a fast system with slow video
performance. So, any improvements in the code are easily seen.

mplayer -vo sdl -ao sdl dvd://1

Was able to get excellent results decoding an xvid encoded file also using
the above configuration. Had tried the sdl previously, but it appears now
the performance has markedly improved.

I had to compile libsdl from source and use the --enable-shared option in
the process.

It's still not blazing speed--have to keep the video window size down in
window mode. Full
screen works OK.

Also use the following options to help out with the synchronization and

Default OSD font

Hello All,

MPlayer shows the OSD even though I have not set up subfont.ttf. 
According to 'mplayer -v',
get_path('fonts') -> 'C:/MinGW/msys/1.0/home/johnbrown105/mplayer/fonts'
(right now I am in a MSYS shell so this path corresponds to $HOME/
mplayer/fonts, but it does not matter where I am.) This folder does not even
exist.

My compile prefix is c:/mingw/local. $PREFIX/etc/mplayer/ is empty.
$PREFIX/bin/mplayer/ exists but contains only config. $PREFIX/share
does not have an mplayer folder.

How does MPlayer select a font when it has not been told which font
to use?

Regards,
Alias John Brown.

Compiling MPlayer using MinGW on Debian?

Hello,

It's me again.

I plan to offer automatic builds of MPlayer for Windows.
I have a Debian server at home and I want to compile MPlayer on it.

Which packages do I need from the debian repository and how do I need 
to compile MPlayer using MinGW under Debian?

I am running Debian Testing.

Your help would be greatly apreciated.

Thanks in advance.

Greetings,
Simon
