[SOLVED] DVD problems with Mplayer

harryhaller · 06-18-2011, 09:36 AM

Before moving onto SL13.37 I want to solve this problem.

I am using SL13.1. I realise that the distribution version of Mplayer has restrictions, so I installed alienbobs build of Mplayer and libdvdcss.

First I compiled them myself - no good. Then I installed the binaries - no good.

I am reading the VIDEO_TS from disk, but the error also occurs with a mounted iso file. The error that Mplayer brings is the following:

MPlayer interrupted by signal 11 in module: decode_video
ID_SIGNAL=11
- MPlayer crashed by bad usage of CPU/FPU/RAM.
Recompile MPlayer with --enable-debug and make a 'gdb' backtrace and
disassembly. Details in DOCS/HTML/en/bugreports_what.html#bugreports_crash.
- MPlayer crashed. This shouldn't happen.
It can be a bug in the MPlayer code _or_ in your drivers _or_ in your
gcc version. If you think it's MPlayer's fault, please read
DOCS/HTML/en/bugreports.html and follow the instructions there. We can't and
won't help unless you provide this information when reporting a possible bug.

Please note: this plays on SL12.1 perfectly fine.

I have a full install, except for KDE and gxine, plus MPlayer-20100926-i486-1alien and libdvdcss-1.2.10-i486-2alien.

I can post a list of the other packages installed, but as far as I can see, they are not related to DVDs.

Try
ldd /path/tp/mplayer
to see if any libs are missing.xvid is default but your video driver also matters. Try other videos - I went through a bit once with mplayer running slow to discover it eas the test video simulating mplayer running slow. Also, don't zoom it and see if it plays. you can run
mplayer -vo help to see what it supports. I founjd sdl worked best for me on one box.

What is your video setup?

Thanks, business_kid. I've played around and I found that using "-lavdopts lowres=1:fast" was the problem!

I've always used that, but now it doesn't work. So, if I don't use that parameter, mplayer now works fine

. I just assumed since I had installed a new version of the program, that the problem was to be found there....Thanks for the pointer to go back to the basics, and not assume that the program/libs are at fault
