If I start attempting to show a video nothing shows up on the X0msgs but I get
about 1 frame every 2 seconds. I also haveto use -ao null or I get complains
about:
[AO OSS] Can't set auduo device /dev/dsp ro s16le output
OK I have it now ... not sure why it defaults to OSS while my kernel has alsa
so this got just the audio part working on the headphones:
mplayer -ao alsa -vo null <whatever video>
Aha another thing got much better framerate:
mplayer -ao alsa -vo fbdev <whatever video>
this produces no window around the video output, a horrible info box on the
bottom and leaves s mess after video is finished but has acceptable framerate !
Maybe I can set some better defaults in ~/.mplayer/config and not haveto
remember this stuff every time :-)
This is even better as framerate is ok but it leaves no mess and no info box:
mplayer -ao alsa -vo x11 <whatever video>
Xine does no better on video playback as it crashes shortly after starting:
root@slackware:~# xine
This is xine (X11 gui) - a free video player v0.99.5.
(c) 2000-2007 The xine Team.
X Error of failed request: BadMatch (invalid parameter attributes)
Major opcode of failed request: 62 (X_CopyArea)
Serial number of failed request: 4558
Current serial number in output stream: 4563
root@slackware:~#
Not sure if this is because I'm missing some requisite .... but the output is
not much help in debugging.
I'll stick to mplayer -ao alsa -vo x11 <whatever video> for the moment :-D
