MPlayer and Fluxbox are like oil and water
I've recently switched from kde to fluxbox but mplayer is acting up in fluxbox. I get audio but the video is just a garbled green screen. I installed the mplayer browser plugin so that I could watch quicktime movies. It seems to randomly work in fluxbox and it ALWAYS works in kde. I captured the ouput of mplayer, from the same quicktime movie, in both kde and fluxbox. I then ran the 'diff' command to see if there where any big differences between the files. Here is the output:
(PROMPT)$ diff -i kde.txt flux.txt 16,19c16,18 < Reading config file /home/kde/.mplayer/config < Reading /home/kde/.mplayer/codecs.conf: Reading /etc/mplayer/codecs.conf: 50 audio & 136 video codecs < font: can't open file: /home/kde/.mplayer/font/font.desc < font: can't open file: /usr/share/mplayer/font/font.desc --- > Reading config file /home/flux/.mplayer/config > Reading /home/flux/.mplayer/codecs.conf: Reading /etc/mplayer/codecs.conf: 50 audio & 136 video codecs > Font /home/flux/.mplayer/font/font.desc loaded successfully!

Could the fonts have something to do with this? |
you have a different user for each wm? that's bizarre... :confused:
what is garbled? what does it acutally look like? what kind of files? paste the full output from mplayer, maybe it's arts messing you around as it presumably won't be there outside of icky kde. the diff you have there will only compare the stdout stream, not stderr, which is probably more informative. |
Okay here is the fluxbox output:

that's still only stdout isn't it?
mplayer blah.mov > output 2>&1 |

Anyway, thats what I did. Its the browser plugin: mozilla > kde.txt 2>&1 What you see is the output from the plugin running in the browser. Would it make a difference if I played a .mov file on my hard drive? I don't think so. |
