interesting gmplayer behavior
like a lot of other people here on the forums (yup, I did my research) I am getting the error of
Code:
"Linux RTC init error in ioctl (rtc_irqp_set 1024): Permission denied Code:
mplayer: could not connect to socket If I launch gmplayer as Code:
gmplayer& If I launch it as Code:
gmplayer Does anyone know what the heck is going on here? What difference does the & make? For me, it means being able to continue in the command line with other things, but what could it possibly mean to gmplayer? And does the 1024 error have something to do with it? Thanks, |
If you use gmplayer in command line you must not give '&' symbol.
As you might have seen when (g)mplayer is running it provides status line so do not put '&' in command line. 1. you can ignore the rtc error. It is not an error. Just that real time clock is not accessible. if you dont want that message add the following to the command line: -nortc From mplayer man page: Turns off usage of the Linux RTC (realtime clock - /dev/rtc) as timing mechanism. 2. The next message (as error) can also be ignored. |
hey, thanks a lot! All this time I thought my mplayer was broken til I accidentally didn't use a &.... hehe...
Thank you! |
