XvMC Question?

Hey,

I know no drivers out there support mpeg4/h.264 acceleration via XvMC, but I
was wondering if the XvMC spec even allows acceleration of those formats and
if it does, does mplayer support it? Or does it only support mpeg-2
acceleration.

Thank,

Unexplained mencoder messages

Dear All,

1) Encoding DVD-compliant MPEG-2 with the command line (don't laugh at any
options if you feel like it, I'm still empirisising them ;-)) -

mencoder %1 -demuxer +lavf -aspect 4/3 -mc 0 -noskip -vf
hqdn3d=2:1:2,harddup -ovc lavc -oac lavc -lavcopts
aspect=4/3:cbp:cmp=3:dia=2:dc=10:ildct:ilme:keyint=15:last_pred=3:mbd=2:mv0:
mv0_threshold=0:precmp=3:predia=2:preme=2:subcmp=3:trell:vbitrate=7345:%VB_S
TRAT%vcodec=mpeg2video:vmax_b_frames=2:vpass=%PASS%:vrc_buf_size=1835:vrc_ma
xrate=9800:vstrict=0:acodec=ac3:abitrate=128 -of mpeg -mpegopts
format=dvd:tsaf -o %OUTPUT%

- with DV AVI input (containing PCM audio of course) mencoder reports:
"Increasing audio density to 4." According to the manual, the default
density is 2 - why would mencoder see fit to increase it?

2) With nothing else out of the ordinary being reported during pass 1, this
was reported during pass 2: "AC EOB missing in frame n". I can find no
references to EOB in the manual. What does this mean and how would one
correct it, if need be?

Thank you kindly,
Francois

Problem with mplayer video display

Hai!

I am using Xorg-7.2 version with amd graphics driver. I am using mplayer
version 1.0rc1-4.0.3. I am getting two problems with mplayer video display.
First, when I run vnc client from another system, mplayer video display is
not visible. Second , after completing playing a file in full screen mode,
if i play another file the gui of mplayer and video display are not in
match, video display is streched and gui of mplayer is normal. I am sending
screen shots of the two problems as attachment.
I am not getting these problem when I use vesa grapghics driver.

Thank you!

Sending exactly the same mail to two mailinglists seperately
wont get you anywhere. It is actually considered quite rude.

Beside, your mail doesn't say anything about your problem beside
that it doesn't work the way you want, though nobody knows
what you want and what you are doing.

So, instead of annoying everyone, you should read
MPlayers bugreports.html and write a _complete_ bugreport
to _ONE_ list only.

Re: overriding built-in codecs in codecs.conf

Fine, I finally got the source package of mplayer. extracted codecs.conf from it and modified it to
reference .sipr.so instead of sipr.so.6.0, and put the file in ~/.mplayer. It now works fine.
Thank you all for all your contributions.

First, you should be able to get sipr.so.6.0 by downloading the MPlayer
codec packs on the website.

Second, it would be a lot easier for you to just create a link from
sipr.so to sipr.so.6.0 instead of messing with codecs.conf.

No.  But you can get the default (full) list by just copying the
codecs.conf file from mplayer/etc/ and then modifying it as you like.

Instead of touching codecs.conf, create symlink for that library.
MPlayer will start ignoring your copy of codecs.conf on the next update
(for a reason: newer versions of mplayer will include more codecs, so
it'll just ignore old codecs.conf files in system, preferring internal
one to them).

Re: Problem Playing FLV Files

Just to advise I fixed the problem by adding an extra switch: -vo directx:noaccel to turn of directx
acceleration...works fine now.

It just worries me that ALL files would show the symptons as described if directx is the problem.

I'm wondering if it could be a bug in just FLV playback...would it be worth reporting I wonder?

Colin

============
Originaly posting on 29th September:-  

Hello,

I'm a new to Mplayer and am having a problem with FLV files.

When I play them I get what I can only describe as a 'Vertical (and Transparent Greeny coloured) Stripe'
running down the centre of the screen. It's as though the pictures corrupted in some way.

If I play the same files on Media Player Classic or Windows Media Player with ffdshow and FLVSplitter.ax
they work perfectly.

I think I might be missing something in Mplayers setup.

I'm using the latest Windows build downloaded from the official website together with the MPUI front end to
get around using all the switches. The codecs I put in the Mplayer folder (in their own codecs folder) which
I think is correct way to go and I amended slightly the switch parameters in MPUI to -stereo 0 -sws 2 -af
volnorm=2 which I think is all I should need as I'm using a laptop with straight forward stereo sound. OS is
XP Pro SP2, but I don't think that's important here.

dumpstream and slave

I recently came across info on the slave option, and was excited about
using this with a fifo to control the duration of dumpstream operations
when recording from live streams.  However, I have tested with both
1.0rc1 (as shipped with Ubuntu Feisty Fawn) and the latest SVN. When
listening to the stream, slave mode works great - I issue the quit
command and mplayer ends. When dumpstream is being used, slave commands
are totally ignored. Is this intentional, or a bug that could be fixed,
or am I doing something wrong?
