Sorry, I was not very descriptive, I didn't mean that mplayer hangs, it just stopped after less than a second (no video, just a few audio frames). So I guess it was decoding, but not able to output any video. After spending some time, and thanks to your valuable pointers, it is more or less working. I didn't even have the firmware before, I found out when running vdpauinfo. Right now it works in about 10% of the cases. For some files it doesn't work at all. The ones that work break with some video filters (for example, -vf pp=de). It this documented somewhere? I would like a list of what works and what doesn't. Unfortunately, mplayer doesn't fall back to a different video-output when vdpau doesn't work (eg: mplayer -vo vdpau,xv ...). Some people use a wrapper script to achieve this, I guess I'll do the same. But at the same time, I didn't notice a big difference in CPU usage between Xv and vdpau, so maybe I'll just stick with Xv. Overall I'm very happy with nouveau now. In fact, I just built it into my kernel to get KMS, and ditched nvidia's driver for good, after so many years of being stuck with it. Not so happy with mplayer issues though, I guess that is why there are so many forks. Thanks a lot for your invaluable help! -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
