Thanks.  I've been trying to follow the patches, but with so much going on 
it's been an uphill struggle.

Yeah, best as I can tell 22299 was the last working revision, but ffmpeg 
is in such a state of flux right now that regression testing 
is...difficult.

Does mplayer support non-fullscreen mode on an arm board?

Hi

I want to use mplayer on embedded platform like ARM.I know some people
already cross compiled it on ARM board, and I wonder if mplayer
only works in fullscreen mode on the LCD, or we can play a video file which
is "smaller" than the LCD size? and the video is played right in the middle
of the LCD with black border around it?

please let me know if there is any way to play a small video file.

thanks for your time.

I want to use mplayer-only and mencoder-only features in the same command line.

I have written a script for the conversion of various computer files
to DVD-videos. It uses mplayer to do decompression and demuxing [-vo
file &c], various other programs to process the video and audio
seperately and remux them [the mjpeg tools, mostly]; it's working
fairly well.

However, it doesn't appear to support variable frame rate materials.
To do this I apparently need to use -ofps framerate, but mplayer
doesn't support this, only mencoder.

However, mencoder only appears to support a single output stream, so
if I shifted to mencoder I'd need a seperate demuxer [probably,
ironicaly enough, mplayer!].

This doesn't appeal to me. Is there something I've missed that would
provide an easier way?

mencoder can generate mpeg files either with -of mpeg or with -lavf
(but in this case don't use b-frames).
As for demuxers, mpeg2desc from dvdauthor is an option (small
size, fast)

I haven't tested, but I do think it should work, because it's usually
more expensive to upscale to fit the whole screen than leaving the
video size untouched.

Yes, I read it. I was only wondering why this message, because if I
remember correctly it wasn't before (and with before I mean "some months
ago").

Flash Video over HTTP issues

Hi,

I've noticed a problem with playing Flash Video (.flv) files over
HTTP. It seems that if the server doesn't have 'Accept-Ranges' header
mplayer fail to play the file. This is very odd because to remedy this
I wrote a proxy in python that sets the 'Accept-Ranges' header, this
makes mplayer play the file correctly, but it never sends any 'range'
requests to the proxy so it doesn't really use any features made
available by 'Accept-Ranges'.
To prove my point I edited streams/http.c to always set the seekable
flag to 1 and now mplayer could play all the streams without any
problems. (this is _obviously_ not a fix, just a demonstration)

Here is the critical log output of mplayer failing:
LAVF_check: flv format
libavformat file format detected.
cache_stream_seek: WARNING! Can't seek to 0xFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF !
cache_stream_seek: WARNING! Can't seek to 0xFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFC !
Stream not seekable!
cache_stream_seek: WARNING! Can't seek to 0xFFFFFFFFB9B3A9FC !
Stream not seekable!
[flv  <at>  0x8814fa8]skipping flv packet: type 74, size 16658666, flags 0
Stream not seekable!
(where the last two messages are repeated with diffrent values, "forever")

And the same point where it works:
LAVF_check: flv format
libavformat file format detected.
cache_stream_seek: WARNING! Can't seek to 0xFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF !
cache_stream_seek: WARNING! Can't seek to 0xFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFC !

Crash on OS X 10.3.9

I installed MPlayer OSX PPC binary package on my iMac DV 400 MHz (G3).
First it started ok, but didn't play a URL, before I created a
symbolic link at /usr/lib/libncurses.5.4.dylib pointing at
/sw/lib/libncurses.5.dylib (Fink, OS X included version was 5.0.0).

Then it played the video URL without video, i.e. black screen and ok
audio. Then I decided to install the Codec package (rp9). It made no
difference, and I decided to restart the player. Now it crashed on
startup.

I undid the changes (the link and the codecs), re-installed the
player, even re-booted the machine, but no help. A crash report of 14
k is generated, maybe too much to attach here? I might make it
downloadable if there is interest...
