smplayer / mplayer problem

ssl6 · 2009-01-28 20:18:32

so i upgraded to kdemod 4.2, had to remove it completely, and then reinstall a few apps. and now smplayer isnt working, i run it against the mplayer-nogui-svn package from aur, and it seems to be broken now.

here's what i get

/usr/bin/mplayer -noquiet -nofs -sub-fuzziness 1 -identify -slave -vo xv -ao alsa -zoom -nokeepaspect -framedrop -nodr -double -input conf=/usr/share/smplayer/input.conf -stop-xscreensaver -wid 69206030 -monitorpixelaspect 1 -ass -embeddedfonts -ass-line-spacing 0 -ass-font-scale 1 -ass-styles /home/urmom/.config/smplayer/styles.ass -fontconfig -font Arial -subcp ISO-8859-1 -subpos 100 -volume 40 -cache 2000 -osdlevel 0 -nocorrect-pts -vf-add screenshot -slices -channels 2 -af scaletempo,equalizer=0:0:0:0:0:0:0:0:0:0 /home/urmom/movies/Downloaded/A Bugs Life (1998)/A Bugs Life (1998).avi

/usr/bin/mplayer: error while loading shared libraries: libaudio.so.2: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

what package does libaudio come from? i tried to find it in shaman, maybe im searching for it the wrong way?

A quick web search turned up nas as the source of that file. It's in community.

--EDIT--

I'm guessing what happened is that you had libxaw installed as a dependency of another package. Mplayer found the library when auto-configuring itself and compiled against it. You removed whatever, and now Mplayer is broken. I would simply rebuild Mplayer instead of installing an unneeded package.

Search your system - is there any file at all with 'libaudio.so' in the name?

Try updating your system via the official Arch mirror. If it then works, it's because a new version of a package has a new symlink version for the library (.2) and the app (mplayer) is expecting the old version. If that doesn't work, try installing mplayer through ABS (make sure to sync ABS first).

i did end up using locate to find the file, it was there. i just recompiled it, now im getting another problem

here's what i get now

/usr/bin/mplayer -noquiet -nofs -sub-fuzziness 1 -identify -slave -vo xv -ao alsa -zoom -nokeepaspect -framedrop -nodr -double -input conf=/usr/share/smplayer/input.conf -stop-xscreensaver -wid 23068686 -monitorpixelaspect 1 -ass -embeddedfonts -ass-line-spacing 0 -ass-font-scale 1 -ass-styles /home/urmom/.config/smplayer/styles.ass -fontconfig -font Arial -subcp ISO-8859-1 -subpos 100 -volume 40 -cache 2000 -osdlevel 0 -nocorrect-pts -vf-add screenshot -slices -channels 2 -af scaletempo,equalizer=0:0:0:0:0:0:0:0:0:0 /home/urmom/movies/Downloaded/A Bugs Life (1998)/A Bugs Life (1998).avi

Build mplayer --asroot .
It's a known bug in fakeroot .

ssl6 · 2009-01-28 20:52:29

ok, ill try, but its always worked fine without doing that

ssl6 · 2009-01-28 20:58:58

ok, so it worked. honestly never had to do it that way. thanks for letting me know so fast. i dont think i've ever received help this fast here, im impressed guys

You really should not have had to rebuild mplayer. Version 28347-2 fixes that issue. Just make sure your system was up to date.

Ranguvar · 2009-01-29 02:44:42

Arch has both a speedy OS and a speedy forum
The only rule in both cases is that you must first help yourself

ssl6 · 2009-01-29 02:53:26

i try to help myself, i really do. i think my problem is im too familiar with the microsoft way, having been MS certified, and worked supporting MS products for long. i even have a hard time using google to search things some times, im so used to working in VKB using MS' ocsure search style keywords where you have to search "the" to find "or"

that and maybe i jumped into arch a little too soon? but i guess its the only way to learn

and to allan, my system was up to date, thats how these problems started. either way, mplayer needed to be recompiled for the libaudio thing, but its working. until i find more problems, which im sure i might

Allan · 2009-01-29 03:29:47

Please file a bug report about the libaudio issue. I thought that had been fixed...

ssl6 · 2009-01-29 04:01:13

anything specific i should put in the log file?
