Mplayer problem
 
I am now running Debian 3.1 on an IBM Thinkpad and I just installed mplayer via source tarballs from the website. Everything installed fine and I included the "All codecs" package (I like having a massive video-playing program like that), but whenever I try to play a video, it won't play the video. It doesn't matter the format of the video, it just plays the audio. Here's what it does:

Code:
motw@ADANIEL:~/backup$ mplayer ericprydz_callonme_300k.wmv

MPlayer 1.0pre6-3.3.5 (C) 2000-2004 MPlayer Team

CPU: Intel Celeron 2/Pentium III Tualatin (Family: 6, Stepping: 1)

Detected cache-line size is 32 bytes

Linux RTC init error in ioctl (rtc_irqp_set 1024): Invalid argument

Try adding "echo 1024 > /proc/sys/dev/rtc/max-user-freq" to your system startup scripts.

Presumably it plays the audio? Try running mplayer with the command mplayer <filename> -vo xv. If that doesn't work try substituting in "x11" where you see "xv" above.

Additionally, you're running an old version of mplayer. You said you installed from source but you seem to have downloaded the wrong tarball. The current release version is 1.0pre7... Or use the CVS version.

One other point is that you don't need the "all codecs" package. That package includes all codecs even ones that have linux (unix) native equivalents. This may cause some problems by having too many options for codecs to use. The "essential" package is better since it only contains codecs which don't have native equivalents. Not to mention it's smaller.

Try doing what the error message says:

Code:
echo 1024 > /proc/sys/dev/rtc/max-user-freq
I did it and it runs.
