Mplayer 1.0 rc2 - Testing build.
Since someone asked why we don't have latest Mplayer on our NITs, i wondered why... Yesterday i found out - because there are too much changes upstream. However i decided to give it a go - grabbed the latest diff from the Maemo repo (v26) and the latest SVN source and tried to apply the patch. I'm posting here the result of my changes - mplayer and mencoder for the adventurers among you - do you dare try and enter the unknown? (um, don't mind me - its 2:42 in the morning here). I may have missed something on the way and this is only a test, so don't blame me if it crashes your device :)
Compiled for OS2008, but it may run on 2007 (770 will be probably a no go). Place the config file in /home/user/.mplayer/ and backup your original one before. If someone wants the diff (or the whole source), do tell. Mplayer should work better with wmv9 at least but i expect it to be faster in other codecs too. Mencoder works - took me a good 15 minute ride to convert a 4 minute Youtube video to mpeg4. Doesn't look good but i didn't specify any options anyway :) No screenshots today. :P Mplayer Executables and config file: http://www.mediafire.com/?0hqzwzzyytz 6MB Mplayer SVN Source from 21.03.2008: http://www.mediafire.com/?noc0lynd0gi 14MB Maemo Patch against SVN 21.03.2008: http://www.mediafire.com/?yyiwnla2zjj 100k Save this as /etc/mplayer/menu.conf for the updated OSD menu.

Re: Mplayer 1.0 rc2 - Testing build.
How well does it play flv movies? specifically from youtube?
I'll have to compile it myself sometime. |
Re: Mplayer 1.0 rc2 - Testing build.
Well, without stutter and synced, even in Canola. However i just found out that i forgot to stop the screen fade.

Re: Mplayer 1.0 rc2 - Testing build.
Is the diff modified from the one for the mplayer on maemo repositories? If so I'd like to have it. Thanks. :)
|
Re: Mplayer 1.0 rc2 - Testing build.
Yes, it is very different, since rc2 is much different than rc1. I'll post it later, when i can get back to my computer.
|
Re: Mplayer 1.0 rc2 - Testing build.
Thanks a lot!
Now I can watch flv hopefully Ok,thank you! But, the osd menu is gone :( but sync and seeking works perfectly on flv :) Also GMPlayer is broken, it will not play the flv I select but playing it from MYTube works. |
Re: Mplayer 1.0 rc2 - Testing build.
Ok, lets go through the problems and see why they don't work.

Re: Mplayer 1.0 rc2 - Testing build.
:) Yes, probably missed these. I remember omitting use-last-saved-position on purpose, didn't notice since i don't use the gui :)

Yep, i'll look into them.

Re: Mplayer 1.0 rc2 - Testing build.
The youtube plugin in canola is indeed working much better in the sound department, although I'm hearing a strange metallic chorus now.
I can't wait to get my hands on that diff Bundyo, thanks again. |
Re: Mplayer 1.0 rc2 - Testing build.
Great ... can't wait to get a little time to do some tests.
i know i've wasted 5 hours to do this myself and in the end -vo omapfb had some problems (some armv5te asm - badly patched i think). So many thanks for this. Cheers MIhai |
Re: Mplayer 1.0 rc2 - Testing build.
Sorry, i uploaded the diff long ago but i didn't post it since i got busy fixing the problems mentioned above. Now i'm ready and i'm posting the executables and then i'll get back to clean-up the dirs and recreate the diff (i have the previous one on mediafire since noon, but i'll make a new one with the fixed menu and gmlauncher starting).
Execs: http://www.mediafire.com/?0hqzwzzyytz Updating the main post too. |
Re: Mplayer 1.0 rc2 - Testing build.
Almost forgot - use this as /etc/mplayer/menu.conf - more updated and with good mappings. Has a console too for those with a keyboard :) Unlucky me... :)

Re: Mplayer 1.0 rc2 - Testing build.
Thanks! Trying it out now. :)

Okay, here's the SVN source and the patch:

Re: Mplayer 1.0 rc2 - Testing build.
What's with that mediafire thing? I can't reach it with microb... Been trying all day.
|
Re: Mplayer 1.0 rc2 - Testing build.
Works for me in microb.
|
Re: Mplayer 1.0 rc2 - Testing build.
Strange, should be working. Requires javascript though (maybe flash too, didn't check).
|
Re: Mplayer 1.0 rc2 - Testing build.
Ok, got it... I had to use a anonymizing proxy, paying the prize for living in a totalitarian society. The new right-wing government of Sweden is at war with filesharing, all kinds... I'm moving to China... ;-)

Sarcastic - you tell me... The only way to reach mediafire.com from my ip-range (swedens biggest ISP, telia) was via a proxy (newbackdoor.com). Why would mediafire.com block swedish users? (maybe they're ashamed of the M$ XP theme they're using on the site)

Re: Mplayer 1.0 rc2 - Testing build.
Hi, it is great that you are testing new bleeding edge upstream mplayer sources. Have you tested if this flv seeking issue is fixed in the official mplayer 1.0 rc2 release? Or the latest SVN (pre-rc3 stuff) is needed for it?
BTW, there is one more reason to upgrade: https://garage.maemo.org/forum/forum...7&forum_id=170 |
Re: Mplayer 1.0 rc2 - Testing build.
No, i directly tried with the latest SVN, since RC2 came out before almost half an year. In this build flv plays fine, seeks, but one-two times i had audio sync problems right after the seek.
DVB-H is a great feature too, but i'm more interested in this option: Quote:

But of course, you proved that the upgrade is clearly justified now as we need to solve the flv seek issue anyway :) When I checked mplayer changelogs earlier, I apparently missed the information about flv related improvements. Quote:

Re: Mplayer 1.0 rc2 - Testing build.
Sorry for the ignorance, and maybe for a little off-topic... How can I install MPlayer RC2 via executable? Should be of some help for other ppl too.
Thanks! |
Re: Mplayer 1.0 rc2 - Testing build.
The executable goes to /usr/bin/
|
Re: Mplayer 1.0 rc2 - Testing build.
Anyone else have a link to the file. Mediafire does not want to let me download the file. I keep getting a time out error on their site after clicking on the download.
|
Re: Mplayer 1.0 rc2 - Testing build.
Thanks Bundyo!
I'm doing the following: Uninstall Mplayer RC1 .26 I move mplayer to /usr/bin/ config to /home/user/.mplayer/ menu.conf to /etc/mplayer/ Have to do something more? |
Re: Mplayer 1.0 rc2 - Testing build.
Your steps are fine but keep .26 installed first.

Re: Mplayer 1.0 rc2 - Testing build.
Hi JackED
To tell you the truth, I still have not figured how to make RC2 work, and also I don’t know where to move mencoder. regards, SMC |
Re: Mplayer 1.0 rc2 - Testing build.
You don't need mencoder for playing.
|
Re: Mplayer 1.0 rc2 - Testing build.
umm nice idea! deb file is available????
|
Re: Mplayer 1.0 rc2 - Testing build.
Can't seem to get the binary tar.gz file from this MediaFire service, from several different computers. I really want it; is there another service you can host it on?
EDIT: I finally got it after just giving up and then trying again later in the afternoon. But man, that is one flaky service. |
Re: Mplayer 1.0 rc2 - Testing build.
Hey, just for fun, try this command (using your rc2 mplayer, which I have named mplayer2):
Code:
mplayer2 -cache 128 -tv driver=v4l2 -vo xv tv:// |
