why mplayer will not use decent video output ?
 

Compiling mplayer-1.0pre4 on Mandrake 9.2 with TNT2 pro m64. All codecs & Nvidia latest driver installed.

- At the end of mplayer compilation (which runs fines), i do not see any of the recommanded video output : sdl & xv.

Do you have those video output ?

I have only those :
Any advice for this ?

Thanks,
kozaki

Please anyone has a clue about this problem ?

i gave it a second try, even if i did not change my configuration (except fax & ghoscript stuff)
Well, now the sdl & xv video output are OK ;)

compilation went fine, thanks to trustonme.net howto (that's in Fr).

Everything's fine, even if i have no idea why it worked only on second try :confused:

In the future, DON'T compile your own thing. Instead, go to the Mandrake Control Center and add software applications from there using the Mandrake CD's. Or, use URPMI.

You do as u want Micro420.
urpmi is something i will use for some apps or libs,
but i will always compile big applications with tons of options or security issues such as multimedia player, webserver, etc.

no matter how many issues I'll have to cope with this choice ; urpmi or apt-get is *not* the ultimate solution for everybody's needs.
