Re: MPlayer 1.0-pre3
Hello,
If you don't have artsd support built into mplayer then artsd will
not give control of your sound over to mplayer, thats why you need to shut
it down.

MPlayer 1.0-pre3
Hi,
Just to let you know: on 9 december, MPlayer 1.0-pre3 was released and
rereleased (the first version didn't even compile on any big-endian
architecture.)
It looks like the colour problems of the previous version have been
fixed (mlib is mentioned in the long changelog), but stability is
terrible compared to -pre2. Arguably, only fixing the compilation
problems is not all :)
It repeatedly crashes:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ /usr/src/MPlayer-1.0pre3/mplayer -ao null
./returnoftheking_nl480_dl.mov
...
MPlayer interrupted by signal 10 in module: decode_video

rtsp://streams.omroep.nl/tv/tros/2vandaag/bb.tyler.rm

- MPlayer crashed. This shouldn't happen.
I hope there'll be another rerelease for Sparc. :)

I downloaded the SUNWmlib 2.2 packages, and installed the sparcv8plus+vis library and headers in the proper places (and done a symbolic link from libmlib.so to libmlib.so.2). I can't compile mplayer with mlib support, I tried with both mplayer-1.0pre1 and pre2. Sometimes mplayer crashes, sometimes I can't even start it (when I try to execute it or simply when I try a 'ldd mplayer', I get: "Inconsistency detected by ld.so: dynamic-link.h: 62: elf_get_dynamic_info: Assertion `! "bad dynamic tag"' failed!"). When this happens, the linker told me just before that libmlib.so depends on libc.so.1 and libm.so.1, which don't exist on my system. I tried making symbolic links to libc.so.6 and libm.so.6, with no luck. I use CFLAGS="-O4 -mcpu=v9 -mtune=ultrasparc -ffast-math -fomit-frame-pointer -pipe", and without mlib, I can get a decent speed (I still must drop frames, though). Antonello, I also have weird colors on my Creator3D card when playing DIVX movies. Here's what I do to solve this: - if you run gmplayer, run it with an additional: "-vf rgb2bgr=swap" - if you run mplayer, run it with the same line as above, but also decrease the contrast manually (key 1, not the one from the keypad); I can't change it by a command line That works for me, and drops a little more frames. I use the x11 video output driver, not sdl (which is slower for me). -- Erwann ABALEA <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> - RSA PGP Key ID: 0x2D0EABD5 - Think carefully before wishing, it might just come true.

However I encourage Using the older mplayer 0.91, my problem is quite different: on the Creator (FFB2+, not 3D) the dark scenes are rendered correctly, with visible "Robocop-termograph-like" artifacts on the shinier ones. It smells like the white colour is badly interpreted by mplayer. Taking a screenshot of the mplayer windows with Ksnapshot shows the correct colors in the screenshot itself, while the real mplayer window is still garbled. Maybe a YUV2RGB issue? or X11 driver, possibly. 1.0preX seems to have the same problem (and crashes at 24 bits of color depth on both PGX and Creator).

I'm downloading the libmlib > packages, I'll test them later. Thanks. FWIW, I wrote all the VIS routines for IDCT, motion compensation, and yuv2rgb conversions for libmpeg2. I'm working with the libmpeg2 maintainer to integrate my work. The IDCT part needs a little more work but otherwise it's %100 complete (and yes much faster than Sun's crap in mlib :) Once I have all of this work done I'll make an effort to create a patch for mplayer-1.0preX and maybe even try to figure out that color problem (reds and blues are reversed in every pixel which points to some kind of endianness bug). However I encourage Antonello to still file the bug in the mplayer bug area so that they know about it.

When I'm only watching the video and nothing else runs, I sometimes I solved many AV sync issues by using SDL audio and video output drivers. However, on my Ultra 10, maybe because of the SLOW ide controller and of the huge windowing system that I use (KDE 3, dual display) it's quite impossible to watch a movie with a human-compliant frame rate (at least on the PGX) ;). With mlib and the Creator board instead I'm able to watch a movie (windowed, not in fullscreen mode) with frame dropping disabled. I do have a SCSI controller, and an external SCSI box for 6 SCA disks (think it's called an UniPack), but the disks are old and their capacity is limited. I think the lack of decent IDE busmastering on the Ultra10 is the main reason for my system being slow as a little snail ;). Now I'm trying to convince my employer to buy a new Sun workstation to replace my x86 PC. I would to run Debian on it (side by side with Solaris), so I am wondering if someone the list might give me some advice on the most Penguin-compatible and valuable workstation to buy (at a reasonable price, of course) ;).

I'm downloading the libmlib packages, I'll test them later. Thanks. BTW, without mlib, I can get a pretty good video experience on my 300 MHz Ultra2, but I have to allow the player to drop frames to get audio/video sync. When I'm only watching the video and nothing else runs, I sometimes can notice that frames were dropped; the margin is very low, I can't even run a simple 'top' in a console, or I loose too much frames.

If compiled with mlib, mplayer outputs in console a message that sounds like: "using mlib for colorspace transform" If you haven't enabled mlib yet, I advice you to do it, since the performance boost (at no additional cost) is remarkable.

It's not a mlib issue. Compiling without mlib just slows down the whole lot but doesn't solve this issue. Colors are rendered the wrong way indipendently of the video output used (x11,sdl) with or without mlib. So, it's an mplayer bug. I found no feedback addresses on the mplayer web site, do someone on the list know how to get in touch with the mplayer team for a bug report? P.s.: Latest XMMS upstream in Unstable is buggy, too.

Update on mplayer support for Linux/SPARC
Hi there, after further investigation, I collected some (I hope) interesting bugs in mplayer for Sparc under Debian/Unstable. Mplayer-1.0pre1 Crashes badly when opening video streams using the X11 driver on 24-bit framebuffers (both the ATI/PGX and the Creator FFB2+ that I own). If the PGX is set to 16 bit, video is rendered correctly. Using SDL driver, video is rendered correcly on the PGX, and with wrong colors on the Creator FFB2+. mplayer is compiled with mlib support. Mplayer-0.91 Video is rendered correctly with both X11 and SDL drivers on the PGX, both at 16 and 24 bit resolution. Wrong colors are outputted on the Creator (24 bit) when using mplayer via a standard shell. Surprisingly, when using the GUI on the Creator the graphical remote control appears in dark blue color, but the movie colors are correct using X11 driver (SDL is not supported in gmplayer). mplayer is compiled with mlib support even in this case. It's a mlib issue or mplayer's fault in your opinion? 0.91 works quite well on the PGX, but there's no way to use mplayer+creator correctly. Bye, Antonello. -- Antonello <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
