MPV (mplayer fork) on Sailfish: no success :(
After some days dealing with this issue, lots of headaches, tricks, patches and the like, I have came to a dead end.
MPV compiles with success. But when it's time to open a video file, there's nothing. I have joined MPV official IRC channel and this is what they have told me: Code:
mced What do you think? Keep trying to run "Mplayer" (actually MPV) is useless on Sailfish? Because I'm tired of things like unsupported XviD. Repeating the steps I've followed: 1. Download MPV 0.1.7 source code, do ./configure --disable-x11 --disable-sdl --enable-wayland --disable-libass. It seems to detect Wayland... Code:

Enabled optional drivers: Code:

Re: MPV (mplayer fork) on Sailfish: no success :(
well, already the summary tells no video out, it seems only some digital tv and dvd codecs got compiled.
So, You will need to figure out how to adress the correct video framework available on Jolla and if you are missing some optional codecs. Seems from the IRC that those guys believe gles is not supported. |
Re: MPV (mplayer fork) on Sailfish: no success :(
But there is something weird: at first,both Wayland and Pulseaudio were undetected (no dev packages). And so it was written in summary: "pulse" and "wayland" where listed in "Disabled optional drivers".
Installed pulseaudio-devel, then 'configure script' detected it and was written in summary "enabled" section, as you can see. Installed a bunch of weird things in order to let 'configure script' detect Wayland. It succeeded. But summary doesn't show it at all, "enabled" nor "disabled". Disappeared. I don't understand it. Also, I can't let OpenGL be detected, as somebody suggested on IRC. These are the times when I miss my Debian and its great collection of devel packages. |
Re: MPV (mplayer fork) on Sailfish: no success :(
Check video/out folder and compare to newest version, no vo_wayland.* in the wayland 1.1 (0.1.7) version you're trying to make, only gl_wayland (the latest version has wayland listed in output if you modify configure to look for 1.1, but of course won't build, this is scary, our bleeding edge is already 6 months old for this project, hopefully jolla plan to move to wayland 1.2 soon)

Re: MPV (mplayer fork) on Sailfish: no success :(
Oh, that makes sense. Thank you very much. Time to wait until 1.2 is released.

Re: MPV (mplayer fork) on Sailfish: no success :(
@mced have you tried with the latest MPV version (0.4.2)...jolla wayland version is now 1.1.0+git2-1.2.1.....I really hope Jolla would upgrade to 1.4

Thanks, my Jolla was stolen five months ago and I'm sort of away, waiting for Jolla 2 on... 2015?

Re: MPV (mplayer fork) on Sailfish: no success :(
I have been able to compile the most recent version of mpv with SDL2 + GLES2 backend. I used this configuration because mpvs wayland backend requires version 1.6 of wayland and SailfishOS currently ships with wayland 1.3.
but video playback does not work. these are the current issues: sometimes when i start a video this happens: https://bpaste.net/show/9609926e10ae but sometimes it starts fine.. but the progress is not changing, the screen is black and there is no audio if i press left/right or pause(space) and unpause(space again) it starts progressing automatically but there is neither video nor audio output i have tried different file formats and file sizes but i had no success in starting a video yet. the SDL2 errors i mentioned above happen independent of the file size at random. |
Re: MPV (mplayer fork) on Sailfish: no success :(
It's been almost 8 months. Any update on this?
