well, i didn't know that.

bringing some light to the "do we need libvdpau?" question.
libvdpau was recently splitted from the binary nvidia graphics driver, and is now available as separate download from freedesktop.org.
However, for now the very same version is still included in the graphics driver package, but will be removed from there at some point.
The stand-alone library is vendor-independent code, which means it is not tide to nvidia cards in any way, and is everything applications need to compile VDPAU-enabled versions.
For SBo users this means that as soon as the 190.x series is declared stable I'll push my updated SlackBuilds for the nvidia-driver / -kernel scripts, which will no longer include the libvdpau library. This one will be submitted as a separate build script, together with vdpauinfo.
So, basic answer, yes you will need libvdpau, sooner or later.

Strange that the official Slackware MPlayer doesn't have it enabled then...

MPlayer enables options automatically, when the needed libraries are available in the system. Slackware doesn't ship libvdpau, so vdpau is disabled.

saw that..just rebuild the new package(-current-r29789) with vdpau enabled , its working flawlessly with smplayer.

try it "Daedra".

Daedra 10-23-2009 04:27 AM

I just tried the newest build and it failed with a specific error with vdpau, so I installed the libvdpau package and it compiled successfully. Even the old gui is working again.

Strange...i used this slackbuild. modified it myself..try it and see.

# -- PATENT ALERT! --
# MPlayer source contains an internal copy of 'libdvdcss' for reading DVD's.
# This is considered illegal software in some countries.
# Also, MPLayer can be built with MP3 (lame) and AMR audio encoders
# (needed for FLV and .3GP videos) but these libraries are 'contaminated'
# with patents from Fraunhofer and GGP.
# Also, the AAC encoder has patent issues.
# The Slackware package is built with "USE_PATENTS=NO" i.e. without using
# the lame mp3, faac, AMR and dvdcss libraries.
# This also means that this creates a version of MPlayer that is unable
# to play encrypted DVD's (which is most DVD's on the market). If it is
# allowed in your country to use libdvdcss, this is not a big problem though.
# Install a libdvdcss package and it will be picked up automatically by
# MPlayer's internal libdvdread library, so that MPlayer will again be able
# to play encrypted DVD's.
#
# If you have licenses to use the code, and/or the patents do not apply in
# your region, and you take all legal responsibility, you may wish to build
# MPlayer with the option USE_PATENTS=YES which will include potentially
# patent-encumbered code.

# MPlayer will try to use one of the TrueType fonts present on the target
# system for it's On Screen Display (OSD) font.
# Slackware 11.0 ships with the Vera and DejaVu fonts, you may want to add
# more fonts to this list. The first font found will be used by creating a
# symbolic link "/usr/share/mplayer/subfont.ttf" to it.
# The use of bitmapped fonts is considered deprecated, but you can still use
# those if you want. Read http://www.mplayerhq.hu/DOCS/HTML/en/fonts-osd.html

Nevermind, I reinstalled the nvidia driver thinking maybe I over wrote or deleted the files, the reinstall worked. All is good.

ppr:kut 10-23-2009 04:41 AM

BTW, for anyone who wants to have proper SlackBuilds for libvdpau, plus a nvidia-driver script that's modified to work with the external libvdpau, I have them at my github repo http://github.com/pprkut/slackbuilds...e/master/beta/
