OK - I've built a number of versions of mplayer 1.0rc1 (the version after 1.0pre8) for Windows. It's possible that the 1.0rc1 release has fixed the processor issues so that is why I have included a reference version. They all work on Pentium 4 on REal, AACPlus, WMA and MP3 streams.
The problem mplayer has with the VIA processor when using runtime processor detect could be either: 1. Wrong instruction set for processor detected 2. Use of wrong extended instruction set (e.g. SSE, MMX, 2DNow!) So I have built 3 versions of the 1.0rc1. 1. "Reference" version built using Neil's config options with runtime detection of processor (http://homepage.eircom.net/~altondsl/slim/mplayerrc1exe.ZIP ) . This should be very similar to the build on the mplayerhq site 2. Runtime processor detection but with use of extended instruction (MMX, MMX2, 3DNow, 3DNow2, SSE,SSE2) disabled (http://homepage.eircom.net/~altondsl/slim/mplayerautocpuexe.ZIP ) 3. Compiled for i486 processor. Runtime processor detection disabled and use of extended instructions disabled (http://homepage.eircom.net/~altondsl/slim/mplayer486exe.ZIP ) It would be great if all version could be tested and report back which if any worked. To install * download and then unzip the zip file * save the old mplayer.exe from the slimserver Bin/MSWIN32.. directory * rename and move the unzipped file as mplayer.exe in the slimserver Bin/MSWIN32.. directory. * check new Mplayer banner - for message similar to "MMX disabled" or "Runtime processor detection to verify what version has been installed. -- bpa ------------------------------------------------------------------------ bpa's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1806 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=32572 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
