Re: What do I have to do to get VDPAU-enabled mplayer installed ?

Congrats!! I'll try it!

and replace that function at the start with an empty one

Do you mean compile_check() ?

No the patch from AUR on tmp_run(), although it's probably not necessary.

Re: What do I have to do to get VDPAU-enabled mplayer installed ?

I just recompiled with yaourt -Sb mplayer to modify some config options
I noticed "--enable-fontconfig" will lead to failure like this:
.....
ass_fontconfig.csad.text+0x941): undefined reference to `FcPatternGetInteger'
ass_fontconfig.csad.text+0x971): undefined reference to `FcPatternGetInteger'
ass_fontconfig.csad.text+0x9a1): undefined reference to `FcPatternGetBool'
....
removed --enable-fontconfig from options it all built fine.
Coming to this, I guess maybe building from svn could just be done with that patch in AUR and ' add "-fomit-frame-pointer" to CFLAGS= in /etc/makepkg.conf ' (look at my post at #17, you can see the second time I tried it failed with this same ass_fontconfig.csad.text error, which now we know how to solve.)

Procyon, the sub complex path problem sounds really weird... will be fixed soon I believe.

Edit:
Turns out the .ssa sub I was trying to load was encoded in UTF-16, converting the encoding solved the problem.
Edit again::
But shouldn't libass do the encoding detection/converting since it depends on enca...

Remove all your --enables from the ./configure line except --enable-largefiles and --enable-menu. The rest will be autodetected if it is installed and will be configured accordingly, if it's not present no harm done. By using --enable you force the option without the proper detection of the necessary library paths.

Yep, and also except --enable-ass, if you don't build as root

Re: What do I have to do to get VDPAU-enabled mplayer installed ?

OK so i went through this mess a few weeks back trying to follow the aur dependency tree to get vdau support working.  i gave up.  so today i tried this method.  i use ABS and build mplayer fine just as Nepherte recommends above.  after building the package i see this

> mplayer -vo help
MPlayer UNKNOWN-4.4.0 (C) 2000-2009 MPlayer Team
Available video output drivers:
        vdpau   VDPAU with X11

but when i try to use it...

@brisbin33: Do you have anything in .mplayer/config that can cause trouble like I did?

Re: What do I have to do to get VDPAU-enabled mplayer installed ?

.mplayer/config is fully commented except for framedrop=yes and ao=oss.  maybe i need to specify the vdpau vc for the vdpau vo to work?

whoa just tried vc=ffh264vdpau,ffmpeg12vdpau,ffwmv3vdpau, and that blew up in my face.

...
[h264_vdpau @ 0xaf5200]B picture before any references, skipping
[h264_vdpau @ 0xaf5200]decode_slice_header error
[h264_vdpau @ 0xaf5200]no frame!
Error while decoding frame!

FATAL: Could not initialize video filters (-vf) or video output (-vo).


Exiting... (End of file)

if i pass any of those three vc's on the commandline though i just get the same error and No Video as w/o them.  weird that i only get the crazy errors if the option comes from the the config in stead.

Re: What do I have to do to get VDPAU-enabled mplayer installed ?

You definitely have to specify the correct vc option and use the nonfree nvidia drivers. The mplayer build from extra has vdpau support out of the box for a couple of weeks now.

Here are some files know to work.

Though others might fail, as there are, when i got it right, certain encoding features, that might be used, that are incompatible with vdpau.

same error with those known-to-work clips, maybe my card just doesn't support it.  sigh.

Re: What do I have to do to get VDPAU-enabled mplayer installed ?

What graphics card is nvidia e-7150? Never heard of it. nForce 630i is a motherboard. You need a GeForce 8xxx or better for VDPAU, except GeForce 8800 GTX and GeForce 8800 GTS 320/640MB.

yeah it's integrated graphics on that motherboad, but it's got hdmi outs and 7.1 surround i was hoping that meant high-end enough to bring vdpau support as well.  i guess being integrated kinda supports the theory there's no vdpau huh?  (google's not being helpful on this query btw)

Re: What do I have to do to get VDPAU-enabled mplayer installed ?

If it's integrated, nope. No VDPAU support ;\ It needs PureVideo supported in hardware, which I really doubt this integrated card has. I know nVidia ION supports VDPAU, but that's based on 9400GT.
