Mplayer - mmx(2), sse(2) supported but disabled

[Misalf]

Mplayer is quite slow on my netbook when used with  -fs -zoom .
(VLC performs better in fullscreen but has more deps)
Not sure if it's much of a significance but it displays these messages on each launch:

Code: [Select]

MPlayer 1.1-4.9.1 (C) 2000-2012 MPlayer Team
MMX supported but disabled
MMX2 supported but disabled
SSE supported but disabled
SSE2 supported but disabled
Also I'd like to try using  mplayer -vo xv some-file.avi .

I'm trying to compile Mplayer svn, TC 6.1rc2, x86:

Code: [Select]

export CFLAGS="-march=i486 -mtune=i686 -O2 -pipe"
export CXXFLAGS="-march=i486 -mtune=i686 -O2 -pipe"
export LDFLAGS="-Wl,-O1"


Code: [Select]

./configure --prefix=/usr/local   --enable-sse --enable-sse2 --enable-mmx --enable-mmxext  --enable-xmms --disable-vidix  --enable-xv --enable-alsa --enable-fbdev  --disable-x264 --disable-x264-lavc && make && make DESTDIR=/tmp/mplayer install-strip

The usual compile tools are loaded as well as lots of -dev stuff including yasm, Xorg, x264 ...

make fails with:

Any help greatly appreciated.

Hi Misalf
Try adding  --disable-asm  to  ./configure

[Misalf]

Thanks.
Hmm, this could decrease run-time performance, right?
--disable-asm  is not available but I could do  --yasm='' .
Trying now with  --yasm=nasm .

EDIT:
Same error.
Trying  --yasm=''

[Misalf]

Still ...

Hi Misalf
I think that error is due to running out of registers, maybe try adding   -fomit-frame-pointer

[Misalf]

Thanks Rich.
That error disappears after adding  -fomit-frame-pointer  to CFLAGS and CXXFLAGS .

It still doesn't finish though:

[Juanito]

Maybe this might be useful:

http://www.tinycorelinux.net/6.x/x86/tcz/src/mplayer/compile_mplayer

[Misalf]

Thanks Juanito.

I don't know how to use that file.
I guess it can be given as input file to a certain program?

Anyway, I executed this line, from above file, in mplayer source dir:

Code: [Select]

find . -name Makefile -type f -exec sed -i 's/-O2//g' {} \;

I added  --disable-big-endian  to  ./configure

and edited  HAVE_...  variables in  config.mak

Code: [Select]

HAVE_FAST_CMOV = no
HAVE_I686 = yes
HAVE_FAST_CLZ = no

and  /* CPU stuff */  in  config.h .

Code: [Select]

#undef WORDS_BIGENDIAN
...
#define HAVE_FAST_CMOV 0
#define HAVE_I686 1
#define HAVE_FAST_CLZ 0

"make" still fails with the same error as shown in my last post (By configuring with  --disable-xvid).

--

Is  HAVE_I686  the same as  HAVE_CMOV ? There is no  HAVE_CMOV  in the  config.*  files but  HAVE_I686  is at that position.
Should I do this?

Code: [Select]

HAVE_I686 = no


Code: [Select]

#define __CPU__ 486
...
#define HAVE_I686 0

I'm preferring speed over size or CPU compatibility. At least for now.

[Rich]

Hi Misalf
686 doesn't have SSE2, try  --disable-sse2. Are building this to submit to the repository or for yourself?

[Misalf]

Thanks Rich.
I'll try that next.

I'm compiling this for myself to see if I can get better performance / less choppy playback.
For submitting it should be 468?

[Rich]

Hi Misalf
Yes, submitted extensions should be compiled with  -march=i486 -mtune=i686  so they are 486 compatible.
For a personal extension, try  -march=native -mtune=native

[Misalf]

I do compile with  -march=i486 -mtune=i686

The generated  config.h  file contains  #define __CPU__ 686
(also with  -march=native -mtune=native)
Should this be changed to  #define __CPU__ 486  if more compatibility is desired?
(I wouldn't like to be limited to just this box to use this build on; would be ok for now though)

Or should this be changed to the architecture I'm apparently compiling on (i386)?

Mplayer has some specific points:
- like all development the SVN/trunk is occasionally broken, try starting from a known working source tarball from the 5.x tcz/src
- mplayer explicitly warns against setting *FLAGS, and for good reason, the assembly files need different flags etc. If you enable the dynamic cpu detection, it will be submittable.

[Misalf]

Thanks, curaga.
I did that and it finished compiling.

Got the source from  http://tinycorelinux.net/6.x/x86/tcz/src/mplayer/  though.

I have cleared *FLAGS but added respective parameters to ./configure, as its output strongly recommends (doh!).

Also using  -fomit-frame-pointer  as suggested by Rich (because it sounds quite useful even if making debugging impossible, while the compiled files will get stripped anyway, right?), and maybe some tweaks from  .../tcz/src/mplayer/compile_mplayer  as suggested by Juanito (I'd actually rather not mess with these settings though).

Performance has increased drastically! Also with x11 and framebuffer. (:


Now I have a quite bloated MPlayer which I need to rebuild to be smaller and have less deps (and add dynamic cpu detection).
Also will do more testing of different file types. If it works out well, I'll first contact the current mplayer extension maintainer before making any attempts to submit. Maybe s/he want's to continue maintenance.

Cheers.

[Misalf]

So, I'm actually trying to create a submittable build of MPlayer.

Code: [Select]

./configure --enable-runtime-cpudetection --extra-cflags="-march=i486 -mtune=i686 -O2 -pipe -fomit-frame-pointer" --extra-ldflags="-Wl,-O1" ...
I hope that's OK so far? Like the  -O2  flag.

I'll do one version with OSD menu.
If needed, I can also do another version without OSD menu but with GUI support (GMPlayer).

Now I need you guys to tell me if a certain feature is important to be included, and what features are more or less useless or redundant.

For example, should I compile with  libbluray  or will it play blu-ray disks just fine without that dependency?
I'd say  aalib.tcz  (ASCII Art) is pretty much useless?

Also, OpenGL and VDPAU?
Building with GIF failed. If needed, I look into it.
MNG and libschroedinger-lavc failed as well.


This is a list of what the MPlayer developers think MUST be included.
Not sure about  tdfxfb . Everything else seems OK but I'll have yet to take a closer look.
