How about the fast seek? I tried several times to use it, but without success. I press the right button on the direction pad several times or keep it pressed, but I only got the seek bar displayed without changing the present position in the film. Maybe I am not doing it the proper way?!

Try playing the problematic video from a terminal with the "-idx" or "-forceidx" options. If it works, then the file is the problem.

Thanks ace. I tried with both options, but mplayer crashed. I can paste here the console reports, but maybe they are too long and spoil the thread. What shall I do?

I am able to install 1.0rc1-maemo.27.n770 in either 2006Os or 2007He. I am only interested in 2007He for the time being, as VideoCenter, kmplayer works only in 2007He. On runnning dl copies, like discovery channel, it is stunning! There is no noticebly lipsync problem, both audio and video are smooth and excellent rendering. I have to reset the audio delay from 200ms to 0s. There are also video clips that does not render well. This is under GUI, using mplayer directly from desktop, clicking the icon.

Under xterm, I ran mplayer with the 99TV4IT8a.m3u. It worked, both audio and video, but stuttered so much it is not watchable. However, when added option -nosound, OMG, the thing plays so smooth that I have never seen in my life on this 770! And I am also able to change channels etc.......unfortunately, there is no audio. I am going to try to get the tearsync kernal and see how it goes.

Kmplayer does not work with .27 yet. It streams and "buffering...." but no audio/video. It keeps on going to the next mms:// site.


Thanks, Serge.


Edit: I read the mplayer log, tearsync is disabled on my kernal. I guess I would have to reflash to a newer kernal, then upgrade to 2007He then I can see whether I can run the 99TV4IT,

I'm running .27 on 2008HE with tearsync patched kernel. IMO it's the best mplayer version so far in terms of speed and quality.

Mind to tell us more about the system and how you did it? Thanks.

I would like to stick with 2007He as there are quite a few apps that I do not want to give up. Did anybody try 2007He with a 'new' kernel see whether mplayer .27 is working? TIA,

I also am with 2008HE and tearsync, works great, only downside is the stereo sound through the one speaker, which drops the volume too low (only for speaker).

Tearsync kernel should be working with 2007HE, look at fanoush's page.

And for mplayer install on 2008HE read Bundyo's post in an old thread.

There is something I still confused about. I had 2007He and worked well and was able to enable tearsync=1. But I see NO improvement. Was the tearsync in the old kernel (package 2006) are different than the tearsync today? I flashed to 2008He last night and cannot get any video media going. They all installed fine, but no video, this included videocenter, media player, kmplayer. I am struggling with mplayer .27. I like to get the kmplayer/video center working on 2008He, but Skype, maemo mapper are more important to me. I will roll back to 2007He and stays with mplayer .27.

Tearsync kernel was introduced by fanoush less than a month ago. There was no tearsync kernel before that and that option effectively doesn't work. Mplayer .27 builds on top of that by detecting such kernel and switching that option on automatically. So in fact you didn't see any improvment, because there wasn't any - you don't have tearsync, unless flashing that kernel.

Skype works in 2008HE, Maemo mapper didn't try.
Mplayer works perfectly. I never saw such good playback even on my N800.
