Mplayer hangs after video select and cannot be exited in Kde.
Kernel 2.6.13.4-1.
Must reboot to eliminate mplayer from kde display.
Kmplayer does not play video either but can be deselected.
Videos OK in kaboodle and noatun displays.
Error message during shutdown..... for mplayer says....error in a02 init....

Did you get a "connection reset by peer" message? If that's the problem, remove /tmp/pacman.lck and try again.
Offline
No....
Want mplayer anyhow!!!!

Uhh, lessee... what sound output are you using for MPlayer? How about for KDE?
Offline
Do you have another media player open along side mplayer like kaffeine? It's given me problems like that until I closed the other app.

Kde sound is usb-audio ...pcm... and works fine in ksCD, atun, kaboodle, and Kde sounds. Kde mixer has both cmipci and usb options. I desire usb option.
I have no other media player open when I try kmplayer or mplayer.
All other media pkgs play correctly and can be closed They play video with sound and the sound is via usb.

Tried ...pacman -Syf kaffeine...Loaded OK.
Problem still persists. Mplayer hangs as before and cannot close...have to reboot.
kmplayer loads the selected file but does not play. It closes when x'ed out.

Just get rid of mplayer and use Kaffeine, then. Xine and MPlayer are about equal as of now.
Offline
Everything plays except kmplayer when mplayer is deleted. Kaffeine plays, atun plays, and kaboodle plays.
I want mplayer to play in either mplayer or kmplayer as it always has in the past!!!

As I understand the situation, runtime detection is built in to the mplayer pkg to permit all types of processors to respond to the options that are available for mplayer.
It seems that my system can no longer perform under those runtime arrangements.
Perhaps a later version? mplayer-1.0pre7-1.pkg.tar.gz is the version downloaded from arch via pacman.

try to start mplayer (in console)
User@kde-konsole # mplayer -vo none -ao none
in this case it should not hang if it you should try to compile mplayer yourself with the gcc 4 patches from lfs http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/do … c4-1.patch
then
User@kde-konsole # mplayer -vo none -ao oss YOURVIDEO.avi
if this fails its the audio driver (try arts,alsa or what else)
then try
User@kde-konsole # mplayer -vo x11 -ao oss YOURVIDEO.avi
if this fails try something else for x11 (like sdl,gl,gl2,xv or what ever)
hope this help to solve your problems

Thanks for reply...
Googling sez that GCC has changed and that mplayer no longer will play due to dropping of divx4linux and using runtime cpu detection.
Anyhow, I tried the exercises you described and found that the following gave a full screen video display (with artifacts) but no audio. It also did not shutdown normally.
mplayer -vo vesa -ao oss (selected video)...
I have tried several audio options to no avail.
The action obtained is in no way correct for mplayer.
Perhaps an upgrade at a later time will be the solution.
