Problems with Smplayer (with mplayer as multimedia engine)

Trying to open files (mkv mainly) get's me an "Oops, something went wrong".

Smplayer's log content is:

/usr/bin/mplayer -noquiet -slave -identify -nofs -lavdopts threads=4 -sub-fuzziness 1 -nodr -double -nostop-xscreensaver -nomouseinput -input nodefault-bindings:conf=/dev/null -nokeepaspect -wid 44040470 -monitorpixelaspect 1 -osdlevel 0 -subfont-osd-scale 4 -progbar-align 80 -subfont-text-scale 5 -subcp UTF-8 -slang eng,SDH [eng] -subpos 100 -volume 100 -ss 487 -vf-add pp=l5 -vf-add screenshot=/home/eldorado/Pictures/smplayer_screenshots/shot -noslices -af-add scaletempo -softvol -softvol-max 110 /home/eldorado/scratch/BravoBravissimo.mkv

Option vf-add: pp doesn't exist.
Error parsing option on the command line: -vf-add
MPlayer SVN-r38542 (C) 2000-2024 MPlayer Team
226 audio & 468 video codecs
ID_EXIT=NONE

Problem exists also with screenshots disabled.

Opening same file in mplayer - OK.
Opening same file in mpv - OK (including subtitle handling).

Any ideas?

Thanks

You're using mplayer as smplayer backend and are passing a bogus option, though https://man.archlinux.org/man/mplayer.1#l5/lowpass5 suggests otherwise?

Does switching to the mpv backend or removing the lp5 pp filter work?

Re: Problems with Smplayer (with mplayer as multimedia engine)

WIll try to remove the lp filter later.

Re: Problems with Smplayer (with mplayer as multimedia engine)

Tried running without lp5 - a loop of errors was the result.  Not interested eanough to try and search what is going on.

Thank you again.

Re: Problems with Smplayer (with mplayer as multimedia engine)

In case you change your mind

/usr/bin/mplayer -noquiet -slave -identify -nofs -lavdopts threads=4 -sub-fuzziness 1 -nodr -double -nostop-xscreensaver -nomouseinput -input nodefault-bindings:conf=/dev/null -nokeepaspect -wid 44040470 -monitorpixelaspect 1 -osdlevel 0 -subfont-osd-scale 4 -progbar-align 80 -subfont-text-scale 5 -subcp UTF-8 -slang eng,SDH [eng] -subpos 100 -volume 100 -ss 487 -vf-add pp=l5 -vf-add screenshot=/home/eldorado/Pictures/smplayer_screenshots/shot -noslices -af-add scaletempo -softvol -softvol-max 110 /home/eldorado/scratch/BravoBravissimo.mkv

pacman -Qikk mplayer

Otherwise and please always remember to mark resolved threads by editing your initial posts subject - so others will know that there's no task left, but maybe a solution to find.
Thanks.

Re: Problems with Smplayer (with mplayer as multimedia engine)

You dropped the last line (that tells us whether anything about the package is corrupted)
Have you tried playing the video w/ mplayer manually in both variations? Does either work or fail?

mplayer (through GUI) playes the videos (the problem is with all of them) with no problems (what does "both variations" mean").  As does mpv.

Re: Problems with Smplayer (with mplayer as multimedia engine)

Hey, SMPlayer's -vf-add pp thingy seems broken. Try using mpv as the video player instead. Should fix choppy MKV playback and subtitles.

Re: Problems with Smplayer (with mplayer as multimedia engine)

mplayer (through GUI) playes the videos (the problem is with all of them) with no problems (what does "both variations" mean").

what gui?
Both variations means you were suppose to play the video by entering

/usr/bin/mplayer -noquiet -slave -identify -nofs -lavdopts threads=4 -sub-fuzziness 1 -nodr -double -nostop-xscreensaver -nomouseinput -input nodefault-bindings:conf=/dev/null -nokeepaspect -wid 44040470 -monitorpixelaspect 1 -osdlevel 0 -subfont-osd-scale 4 -progbar-align 80 -subfont-text-scale 5 -subcp UTF-8 -slang eng,SDH [eng] -subpos 100 -volume 100 -ss 487 -vf-add pp=l5 -vf-add screenshot=/home/eldorado/Pictures/smplayer_screenshots/shot -noslices -af-add scaletempo -softvol -softvol-max 110 /home/eldorado/scratch/BravoBravissimo.mkv

and

/usr/bin/mplayer -noquiet -slave -identify -nofs -lavdopts threads=4 -sub-fuzziness 1 -nodr -double -nostop-xscreensaver -nomouseinput -input nodefault-bindings:conf=/dev/null -nokeepaspect -wid 44040470 -monitorpixelaspect 1 -osdlevel 0 -subfont-osd-scale 4 -progbar-align 80 -subfont-text-scale 5 -subcp UTF-8 -slang eng,SDH [eng] -subpos 100 -volume 100 -ss 487 -vf-add screenshot=/home/eldorado/Pictures/smplayer_screenshots/shot -noslices -af-add scaletempo -softvol -softvol-max 110 /home/eldorado/scratch/BravoBravissimo.mkv

it the command smplayer uses and the command w/o vf-add pp=l5
Looking at it, "-slang eng,SDH [eng]" looks fishy - are you using zsh?

Tried running without lp5 - a loop of errors was the result.

mplayer package is ok, what do those errors look like?

mplayer package is ok, what do those errors look like?

"This might still need to be escaped/quoted"  - it's been that way for many a year.

"mplayer package is ok, what do those errors look like?" - what errors other than what I've already stated/provided?
