mplayer doesn't work

[quellen]

hello folks,
i installed mplayer.tcz  (Testing) 1.1.1, i tried to open some .avi .mp3 .mp4 ecc... but doesn't work:

Code: [Select]

$ mplayer pippo.mp3
MPlayer 1.1-4.7.2 (C) 2000-2012 MPlayer Team

Playing pippo.mp3.
libavformat version 54.6.100 (internal)


MPlayer interrupted by signal 4 in module: demux_open
- MPlayer crashed by an 'Illegal Instruction'.
  It usually happens when you run it on a CPU different than the one it was
  compiled/optimized for.
  Verify this!
- MPlayer crashed by bad usage of CPU/FPU/RAM.
  Recompile MPlayer with --enable-debug and make a 'gdb' backtrace and
  disassembly. Details in DOCS/HTML/en/bugreports_what.html#bugreports_crash.
- MPlayer crashed. This shouldn't happen.
  It can be a bug in the MPlayer code _or_ in your drivers _or_ in your
  gcc version. If you think it's MPlayer's fault, please read
  DOCS/HTML/en/bugreports.html and follow the instructions there. We can't and
  won't help unless you provide this information when reporting a possible bug.
why?
my notebook has Pentium III 1GHz - RAM: 128MB

Thanks.

Hi quellen
I think that your cpu is too old for how was compiled mplayer on core, I think if u use mplayer on dCore u don't have this problem as I have a cpu old like your and mplayer works on dCore wheezy

[Rich]

Hi quellen
If you run:

Code: [Select]

mplayerI think it will spit out information on its requirements, post that.

thanks,
but what is dCore?

"mplayer -v" is more useful, but it's pretty certain it would need a rebuild.

[Juanito]

yeah - I'd guess this has been compiled for i686, rather than for the tinycore standard of i486.

Perhaps you could pm the maintainer and request a recompile?

i see here there are other versions of mplayer. how can i install it? in my "Application Browser" there is only "mplayer.tcz" :-(

vo: x11 uninit called but X11 not initialized..

yeah - I'd guess this has been compiled for i686, rather than for the tinycore standard of i486.

Actually, this mplayer extension fails to run even on my 2Ghz P4, illegal instruction.  I was intending to rebuild it myself as I PM'd the maintainer and waited a while, just haven't had the time.

[Juanito]

the link is to the tc-2.x repository, whereas the app browser is looking at the tc-5.x repo

you could try downloading the extension using http://repo.tinycorelinux.net/2.x/tcz/Mplayer-nodeps.tcz

..but it is not sure that it will work.

[gerald_clark]

Mplayer-nodeps is not in the 5.x repo because it actually depends on libpng12.

[bmarkus]

Mplayer-nodeps is not in the 5.x repo because it actually depends on libpng12.

You can try with libpng12.tcz from 6.x repo

[quellen]

i installed mplayer-nodeps.tcz (i taked libpng from DSL). it works with all movies/mp3, but there is a problem:
is mute
:-( :-( :-(

why?
the sound works on XChat.

[AO PCM] Info: To write WAVE files use -ao pcm:waveheader (default).
AO: [pcm] 44100Hz 2ch s16le (2 bytes per sample)

i must install a driver? what is the most lighter?

EDIT:
i installed OSS.tcz (and OSS-modules3.8.13). now tha audio works but it's horrible :-(
in "osstest" the audio is good.

[gerald_clark]

Do not use modules from DSL.  Use the libpng12 from 6.0 as instructed.
Try running alsa instead of oss.
It works for me using the above.
