Need help from OSX/AlienBBC users to test if mplayer for OSX has a bug where it only plays one stereo channel out of both channels. The test involves running a test file (30sec clip of Beatles "Benefit of Mr. Kite") with mplayer in a Terminal window. The vocals in this clip are only on channel.
THE TEST. 1. Download and save in a known directory the file kitesample.ra from here: http://homepage.eircom.net/~altondsl/slim/kitesample.ra If you have Realplayer installed - test that you can play the file OK. 2. Open Terminal window and run mplayer as follows. This command assume kitesample.ra is in the current directory. MPLAYER KITESAMPLE.RA 3. If you do not hear John Lennon singing - report failure with processor type, OSX version and mplayer version. 4. If you hear John Lennon singing try the following commands MPLAYER -AF CHANNELS=2:2:0:0:0:1 KITESAMPLE.RA MPLAYER -AF CHANNELS=2:2:1:1:1:0 KITESAMPLE.RA Report with which command did you hear the John Lennon vocal as well as processor OSX version and mplayer version Thanks. BACKGROUND In this thread http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=43016 - Whitman noticed the problem and after running through the possibilities, mplayer on his system only plays one channel. Mplayer is standard build from mplayerhq. Whitman's system is an Intel OSX 10.4.11, user Braidy added that he has the same problem on a PPC OSX 10.4.11 system. -- bpa ------------------------------------------------------------------------ bpa's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1806 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=43214 _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/plugins
