[Solved] SMplayer / MPlayer crash, exit code: 127

ssri · 2011-11-12 19:24:48

Everything worked just prior to the pacman update this morning (first in two weeks), then this happened:

/usr/bin/mplayer: error while loading shared libraries: libx264.so.118: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

x264, mplayer (build date: 10/15/11) and smplayer (build date: 11/11/10) installed from extra and community repos accordingly from a pretty up-to-date mirror (mirror @ rit.edu). VLC, unsurprisingly, appears to be fine.

The x264 package has just been updated http://www.archlinux.org/packages/?name=x264 - mirrors may need some more time to sync (if in doubt, check the version).
It's a similar issue to https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=130192
You can download the package directly from the mirror by clicking the 'Download From Mirror' link on the top right http://www.archlinux.org/packages/extra/i686/x264/ (for32-bit)

Hi Karol,

You are right, apparently mplayer [testing] is moving into [extra] (build date: 10/31/11) today. I installed testing/mplayer from the repo I use right before I saw your message and everything appears to be fine. Thanks for the help!

You should check 'Last Updated' and not 'Build Date'. Many packages go through [testing] and they may be deceivingly "old", but they have been moved to the non-testing repos only recently, like in this case: Last Updated: 2011-11-12

I had to make a link from libx264.so.119 to libx264.so.118 to get things working today. Updating and grabbing the package both didn't work.

Where did you find libx264.so.118? I couldn't locate it anymore on my system.
Found it out: in the previous version of x264 in var/cache/pacman/pkg.

Anyone get this to work yet?
I was getting the same error as the original poster after updating mplayer. I then updated x264 from the repos and now I get this error:

MPlayer interrupted by signal 6 in module: preinit_libvo

Any ideas?

Working here with the [testing] version of mplayer and x264
