mplayer in Console again
Dear all:
when I use mplayer in console, I use mplayer -vo vesa filename. The sould works, however, I can not see the video. in the same time, it generated a lot of the snapshots of the screen, in *.png file format in the same folder as the video file. the error is: error opening/initializing the selcted video_out (-vo) device. this happens when I login as normal user. when I login in as root, no problem. I seem the problem is due to the permission of the video out drivers or configuration files. anyone can help? |
ok you just selected a wrong video output just run mplayer with another command try :
mplayer -vo x11 filename for a list of avaible output drivers: mplayer -vo help |
well it's an issue on the framebuffer device entry or something, I always get that, so normally just run it as root. you should be able to use fbdev or sdl outputs ok though. you might also have luck with directfb2
|
mplayer -vo fbdev filename
it does not work. Error message: fbdev: Can't open /dev/fb0: No such device Error opening/initializing the selected video_out (-vo) device. :-( |
have you tried my typ? that means all the other opportunities??/
|
yes. I tried all the mode from mplayer -vo help.
all of them do not work sigh septanla |
ok maybe your mplayer is messed up try to use vlc its equivalent
|
well it says that /dev/fb0 does not exist.... are you even running a framebuffer at all...
just to straighten things out you are trying to run this WITHOUT Xwindows running yes? as in a REAL console... in which case x11 output is certainly useless... |
Yes, I run in a real console mode. Ctrl-Alt F1 to console. However I can run mplayer with root. that is why I doubt the error is due to file permission settings.
