I am always getting this message when trying to play a file with smplayer. End result is that it doesnt play the files at all.
If i disable the option in smplayer preferences i am getting this one instead:
Unknown option on the command line: -noass
Using with ffmpeg and mplayer both from svn and with ssa/ass support enabled.
Is this a package bug?

have you tried ass=0 in your ~/.mplayer/config?
edit, ive never used smplayer so not sure if it uses mplayers config.

lol this thread is so funny

But if they tell you that I've lost my mind, maybe it's not gone just a little hard to find...

I came here just to post the same thing. I giggled like a little girl at the "have you tried ass=0?" part
Nothing useful to add. Move along!

Maybe you need to rebuild smplayer against the versions of mplayer/ffmpeg that you are using to get this working.

smplayer from svn provides a new option in Preferences->Subtitles: Freetype support. If you disable it then smplayer won't use -ass or -noass.

Actually this bug is related to mplayer compiling error:

I have this problem, with latest mplayer with testing. Any way to fix this?
Edit: Actually no files play at all, smplayer cannot recognize the version of mplayer

The latest update of MPlayer uses the SVN version. http://www.archlinux.org/packages/extra/x86_64/mplayer/
Maybe you can try that and see if it works. I am running mplayer-nogui-svn and smplayer-svn and have the same issue. I am not at my Arch machine so unable to test at the moment.

My system is up to date, so that is not the problem. I run mplayer and smplayer 'vanilla' from Arch, with testing enabled.

When I tried playing something with smplayer, it broke but a dialog came up asking what version of mplayer I was using. Tell it "greater than 1.0rc2" and everything went fine for me after that.

Allan: I removed my ~/.config/smplayer folder and started smplayer again and told it mplayer greater than 1.0rc2, still same error...

I think it might just be x86-64 where that fails. Hopefully will be fixed soon anyway

In order to make mplayer work properly with smplayer, you must rebuild it with ass and freetype support.
Using ABS, copy mplayer directory in any directory you have write access on.
Then modify PKGBUILD and add 'freetype2' in depends.
Then in the configure line, add "--enable-freetype --enable-ass".
One makepkg -s and a pacman -U later, you have a working mplayer.

i don't know, but if it is a problem in mplayer i don't have it, and i play videos on smplayer with the option enabled.

Is your system all updated ? 'cause it is the last mplayer update that broke it ( svn version ) Mine works great until I decide to do a full update yesterday and I finally fix it doing that.

extra/mplayer 28347-2

i don't have the problem, but i'm on 32 bits system. my friend has 64 bits and was anoying me that is smplayer broke, so i think it is plataform specific. Glad it is now fixed, just wanted to say that
