mplayer just breaks
Hi,
Mplayer used to work fine. Then a yum update broke the Xv mode. No biggie, I used gl2 instead. Now another yum update, and i get this error when i start mplayer: Code:
tom@delphinius-ii tom$ mplayer |
What have you been updating? I found very very few reasons to update anything besides security applications... Well, the above problem is complaining against nvidia, so if I was you, I'd either reinstall nvidia drivers, and if that does not work, reinstall mplayer ;)
|
The point is, I run FC2, a radeon 9600xt and ati's proprietary drivers.
I appear to have 'acquired' the NVidia drivers through yum. And I just used yum update :) |
This thread seems a good place to ask whether it's bad etiquette here at LQ to bump threads?
|
ghehe, nah, we all do that sometimes :D. However, there're some rules that tells you to wait at least 24 hours before use a "bump" :).
How did you install mplayer? apt-get? rpm? source?. I'd recommend you removing mplayer and installing it again with apt-get, so _maybe_, mplayer will use the correct drivers. It worked on Redhat 9.0 so hopefully it will work on Fedora :). |
Nope, uninstall then reinstall didn't work. I've heard talk of troubles with Xvideo overlay and the ATI drivers. Could that be part of the problem?
|
Ok, my problem with the program not running was simply that I hadn't installed mplayer-skins rpm, and so gmplayer had broken.
As for the Xvideo breakage: http://freedesktop.org/pipermail/xor...ay/000449.html That's the kitten. Closing my web browser, and XMMS, seems to solve the problem for now. |
