Mplayer too slow

Hi

I installed mplayer from slackware official current mirror and when i play any playlist with song it takes 5 seconds for going to next song.

For example
When i play song A and i press ">" to go to the next song and it takes 4-5 seconds and in the end it plays song B

In archlinux there is not this problem

Also when i press space for pausing it is ok but when i hit CTRL+C it plays song 1-2 seconds after exiting

What's the problem with mplayer? Maybe any setting or recompilation with disabled any options?

Thanks.

No such problems here on slackware64-current and MPlayer.

Eric

No such problem either here in slackware-current.
probably a slow disk? or is the file located in Windows partition maybe?

mplayer runs fine here - Slackware64-13.37 multilib. Although I am not crazy about the default GUI so I use gnome-mplayer instead.

Could be a problem with your default -vo or -ao device. Have you selected either by commandline or $HOME/.mplayer/config? Either of the following would give a guide to what can be used on your system:

Code:

mplayer -vo help

mplayer -ao help

I am using slackware current and mplayer is slow with commands for incresing/decresing song speed, next/prev song etc....

This is my ~/.mplayer/config

Code:

# Write your default config options here!





nolirc=yes

i don't know what is problem.... In archlinux mplayer works fine and fast but in slackware it's not.... I am playing songs from ext3 partittion and it's not windows partittion

Could you post output from mplayer -v, perhaps when you enter the keystrokes?

Also, is .mplayer/config in Arch the same?

cheers,

i solved problem

i created file /etc/mplayer/input.conf and put in it this

Thanks :)

Perhaps the icing on the cake might be the following addition to ~/.mplayer/config:

Code:

[extension.mp3]

profile-desc="profile for .mp3 files"

ac=mpg123

Soon enough the built-in mp3lib will be removed and this will be the default, certainly works better on my system.
