mplayer-svn disables features?

mrbug · 2010-02-12 09:43:09

I just installed mplayer-svn through the AUR. For some reason, opengl is on the list of disabled video outputs.

I have a pretty nice nVidia 8800GT, which definitely supports opengl. Am I just mistaken and mplayer-svn is still "allowed" to use opengl2 through gl2, or is it completely ignoring opengl in all of its variations?

It's also possible that I'm asking a dumb question =-)

watch this line at pkgbuild

./configure --prefix=/usr --confdir=/etc/mplayer --disable-gl --language=all || return 1

Delete --disable-gl and recompile again

You'd better use VDPAU instead of gl2 though. It's way better.

Ah, didn't notice the --disable line! Thanks.

I tried the vdpau one first, but it died at some point while compiling -- I believe it was at the libavcodec(?) part. I'll try again and post what happens.

Use mplayer-vdpau-svn. But mplayer from extra has VDPAU support as well.

Yep, ever since the extra/mplayer got vdpau, I've never compiled another mplayer. And it's updated quite frequently.

Okay, I've switched back to the precompiled mplayer... I don't need to be fully bleeding edge; Arch-stock is enough for me in this case.

Thanks for the heads-up!

If you we're looking for the latest (since you tried subversion) I would suggest mplayer-mt-git. It's the way to go, I feel. I've never had it fail when compiling and have always got it to use the configurations I wanted. Just a suggestion so you don't feel like you have to 'settle' for a stock build.

Ah, I was only trying a newer mplayer because I thought that it would help with my YouTube mp4 to vob conversion problem. I've since figured out that ffmpeg is the culprit, but I have no idea how to fix it...

milomouse · 2010-02-13 03:52:00

What commands are you using to convert it?

Both any2dvd and tovid have been trying to do something like this:
(this one is from any2dvd, which seems to be a little nicer)

transcode -H0 -i "1.avi" -x mplayer="-mc 0",mplayer -f 29.970 -g 1280x720 -n 0x1 -e 44100,16,2 -y ffmpeg -F mpeg2 -Z 720x480 --export_asr 3   -D0 -N 0x2000 -E 48000,16,2 -b 384 -m "tmp_any2dvd/1.ac3" -o "tmp_any2dvd/1.m2v" -w 5000

I tried to rename the file to .avi in case that was the problem, but it didn't help. The filetype is actually mp4 (and trying it with that extension didn't go anywhere).
