mplayer xv playback problem
 

Suddenly the films aren't showing, just a blue screen. This is the output

Not working or not working anymore? etc.
 

Hello rejser,

A Blue Screen?? Are you running Windows? :D

More seriously, is it a "blue screen" because you're running mplayer -fs (full-screen or after pressing F when the window has shown up) or is it a "blue window" it is to say that the window that is supposed to show the film is just showing a "blue" image?

Please be more specific.
Has it worked already? +More details if needed.

=> If it is the mplayer window supposed to show the film that has a "blue image" on instead of playing the film, then check if there is not another mplayer process running and preventing the other one to have access to the video ressources.

Hope this puts you on the track.

On my config, mplayer works just fine (with XV), and XINE as well. :cool:
Sylvain.

it worked before, it is blue where the film is suppose to be.
Only thing I have changed was the permissions för /dev/agpgart
tried installing xine, same thing.
If I run x11 it works, but not with xv

What are the original permissions for /dev/agpgart ?
Should have looked before I changed it maybe ?:

On my config...
 

Hi again rejser,

I assume it is the cause of the problem! :p
On my config, I've got the following permissions for /dev/agpart:
% ls -lis /dev/agpgart
2056 0 crw-rw---- 1 root video 10, 175 2004-01-24 23:52 /dev/agpgart

Anyone else can tell what he/she has on his/her config? Please, so that we can compare...

Hope this helps...

rejser, if this shouldn't work for you either, what is your config, hardware, etc?...
Other track: you could check there is not a zombie process mplayer running? (ps -ef | grep mplayer)

Cheers,
Sylvain.

Thanks, that did it :)
Have to stop or start thinking when I'm tired :)
