Re: mplayer_1.0rc1-maemo.25
 

Hello!

I saw some little speed improvements with the last update. No sound problems in general. Thanks again: excellent work!

One question... I want to use the lowres=1 option. How is that possible without editing the config file?

(Because I don't want lowres=1 to be always enabled and the wide parameter found in mplayer documentation, is not very useful as it covers only the x axis. Except if there is a way to add y axis as well)

I tried running mplayer from xterm but it produces an error.

What exactly should i write? eg. mplayer - lavdopts lowres=1 media/mmc/file

Is there a way for an integration in the UI a method of easily adding parameters?

Also, is it possible to boost sound to levels after 100% Other Mplayer flavors have software sound boost but i don't know if it can be done with our hardware.

Hi everyone and thanks for your feedback. I just want to remind the purpose of this thread - get a new version of mplayer uploaded to garage extras repository. Version .24 was slow on n810 as -vo nokia770 (now omapfb) video output method was not used for it. Right now we only focus on regressions (the cases when a previous release worked better), and if we have no important regression, version .26 can be uploaded to garage extras repository. Please check your reports again and try to confirm if they are regressions or not. Thanks for the cooperation.

Bugs and feature requests that are not regressions should be reported at mplayer garage project page.

PS. I'm typing this message on my Nokia 770 from a hotel room. I can't actively participate in the discussions and answer all the questions now. MPlayer development should revert back to 'normal' in about a week, stay tuned.

Well, no regressions for me. The last version seems to be the best. However, i haven't yet tested flv files.

Try to install it from xterm using dpkg ('dpkg -i mplayer_1.0rc1-maemo.26.n8x0_armel.deb ') and check error messages. Have you edited any mplayer configuration files in /etc/* by the way?

Re: mplayer_1.0rc1-maemo.25
 

dpkg : requested operation requires superuser privilege


? what's it?

and no i didn't went to mplayer configuration files in /etc/* ? (i need to do something there) ? for update????

Re: mplayer_1.0rc1-maemo.25
 

Italodance, if you don't already have it installed - you'll need an app called "becomeroot". You can find information about it here: http://www.internettablettalk.com/forums/archive/index.php?t-12215.html

Once you have that installed you'll open xterm and type: sudo gainroot then press enter.

Now you have superuser privelges and can execute the command that Serge gave you without errors.

Also, I don't believe that you need to edit any config files - Serge was just asking if you had made any changes because incorrect changes might cause problems.

Re: mplayer_1.0rc1-maemo.25
 

I rule out any changes being made to etc because he doesn't know how to become root.

If you do make changes, dpkg asks if you want to replace your changed file. But you cannot do this in application manager.

We really need a replacement.

As far as i know mp4 files play better in the default media player than mplayer. I really dont understand how the mplayer which can play so many formats at higher bit rates cannot play the mp4 and mov files wheras the media player plays them. Am i missing something here?

Re: mplayer_1.0rc1-maemo.25
 

yes friend it's strange and funny for me too


i can play mp4 video files with media player

but i more use mplayer and ukmp and want to play them there too


and PinCushionQueen

is this the only way for update 24 to 25/26? really strange???


why it said unable to update? i really don't understand!!! maybe maemo must upload the full mplayer (about 2 mb) for 25 / 26 and the same 24 23 22...................Too!
