Re: SMPlayer says MPlayer is too old?

Too bad they arnt too stable. It would be great though if we could have an updated mplayer in the repos itself!

Mplayer from subversion is stable. My comment about my stuff is along the lines of: x264 is in rapid development, and .so bumps are fairly frequent. FFmpeg is in rapid development, and while API changes are happening less frequently now, they do occur on a regular basis. But, if you use of the Mplayer subversion builds without these lines, it should be fine:

--disable-libavformat_a
--disable-libswscale_a
--disable-libpostproc_a

Mplayer isn't adding anything radical to this source tree. They're getting ready to release version one. If I had to guess, they're waiting on Gnome Mplayer to get finished, for FFmpeg's Real Media and AAC decoders to be completed, and FFmpeg's multi-threaded H264 decoder.

I haven't built Mplayer in a few days, but it seems that others are having this problem, as well have a solution:

Re: SMPlayer says MPlayer is too old?

i don't know, but i think it is because of these builds, but right now, my dvd images (.iso files) don't play well. they have sound but video is all messed up. also for some reason i don't have sound in a file that played well before:

Re: SMPlayer says MPlayer is too old?

Mplayer's been using FFmpeg's H264 decoder for a long time. But, as always, FFmpeg evolves quickly and regressions could have been introduced. You can try and remove theses lines:

--disable-libavutil_a \
--disable-libavcodec_a  \
--disable-libavformat_a \
--disable-libswscale_a \
--disable-libpostproc_a

to use Mplayer's internal copy of the libraries (including the backslash after "--disable-liba52 \". I haven't seen any changes on my end with anything.

With the sound on the other files, that too may be a regression in FFmpeg, or possibly an advanced feature of one of the sound libraries that I haven't come across. I disabled some of the MPEG code from both mpeg2 and mp4. This includes FAAD2 (both internal and external disabled) and the external liba52 (Mplayer is using it's own internal copy). I don't have libmad installed on my system, so that's implicitly disabled. I don't have libmpeg2 installed, but that's video only.

Re: SMPlayer says MPlayer is too old?

x264 just bumped their git tree to git.x264.org.

--EDIT--

They put it back to git.videolan.org.

Can mplayer in subversion make us of multiple processor cores?

The branch can be found at:

I haven't tried it, but I know that ffdshow is using it now.

regarding the dvd iso files, it seems fixed, i downgraded the smplayer version and it is fixed, so, not a mplayer/ffmpeg problem, but some strang bug in smplayer.
