A Zoran Card, an MPlayer, and A Video Output

zgauthier · 05-29-2005, 03:24 PM

It's been an ongoing project for me for the past YEAR trying to get mplayer to play my movies out the video output on my Miro DC30 Zoran based card. I know the card is in working condition as it works fine on my G4. I'm now running Slack 10.1 with a 2.6.11.7 kernel that I built myself. I'm able to get the driver for the card to load in fine.

See...

modprobe zr36067 card=3 debug=4

Code:

BUT whenever I try to get MPlayer to use it, I get stuff like this, and no video.

mplayer -vo zr -v "Dancer In The Dark.avi"

Code:

zr: error waiting for buffers to become free
zr:error queueing buffer for playback

If anyone has a solution that works, I'll seriously send you some money in the mail or something.

Thanks,
Zack

Hate to send you elsewhere, but have you tried the mplayer-users mailing list? this is a horribly specific question for a non-specific site! the list has a load of contributors, (including me) who'll have much more of an idea how to deal with the zr stuff.
