I just now read this thread. (Man it's getting hard to keep up with all of the messages posted to the forum

). This is a great app and I will be happy to test it so I will download the dotpup and give some feedback

.

Hi Mark,

works - but not faster than gxine..
Using xorg... i810 grafic

Any advice?

Thanks! Peter

#35 Post by MU » Mon 24 Oct 2005, 18:56

Peter, set the "video" in the options to "xv" (you get the options with a rightclick).

What for a processor do you have?

You also might install the DRI-Module for your Driver:
http://noforum.de/dotpups/X11R6addons/

In my xorg.conf I have to set up some options:

Code: Select all

# This loads the DRI module
    Load       "dri"

In the Device-Section, I can set more options, but this might be chip-specific (I have a SIS 650)

Code: Select all

Section "Device"
    Identifier  "** SiS1 (generic)                      [sis]"
    Driver      "sis"   

    VideoRam    65536
# Option "no_accel"
 Option "fifo_moderate"
# Option "fifo_conserv"
# Option "fifo_aggressive"
 Option "no_BitBlt"
# Option "fast_vram"
 Option "pci_burst_on"
 Option "xaa_benchmark"
# Option "ext_eng_queue"

Important for me is, that Option "no_accel" is not active. This deactivates Hardware-accelleration.

finally mplayer working

I was using MoviX2 http://movix.sf.net when I chose to checkout puppy for all the "extras" now I'm hooked and I use linux for more than just a setop box!! mplayer is working great agian just 1 cavet I can not resize the video

#37 Post by MU » Mon 24 Oct 2005, 19:35

willhunt, resizing the video works fine with the X.org-Xserver, if you choose "xv" in the options as video-device (at least for me).

For Puppys XVesa-Xserver try GuestToos suggestion:

vesa does not rescale using the video card ... it must be done by the cpu in software ... to enable video rescaling when using a vesa driver, add the -zoom option (or zoom=1 to /root/.mplayer/config)

Mark, your compiled-for-Puppy package should be better than my package, which just downloads and installs the precompiled-binaries from a D.S.Linux package ... if i had compiled my own package, it would have been too big to upload (1 meg limit)

#39 Post by MU » Tue 25 Oct 2005, 00:51

GuestToo, if you need to upload packages, I can host them at noforum.de

You could add a Link to the Wiki (replace your own one?), if we don't get negative feedback.

Greets, Mark

MU-
I just got around to this thread, downloaded, and tested mplayer. It works quite well on my laptop. Video does seem to have a smoother look to it than gxine.

Anyway, good work and thank you very much.

OK, this works for me . . . sort of. With the mozilla plug-in mentioned in another thread, I am able to view BBC embedded video in Puppy. I did, however, have to install the MediaConnectivityPlayer extension for Firefox in order to get it working. (Perhaps because I was running Pizzapup 1.0.5, which has firefox instead of Mozilla?)

However, other embedded video does still have problems. For instance, the video at www.ap.org plays fine, but the audio plays at twice normal speed. This problem existed before, as well, but it does work fine in Kanotix and Zenwalk. Video at Reuters doesn't play back at all. (Again, this does work in Kanotix and Zenwalk.)

Is there any setting I can tweak or change which might help this situation. Would installing Puppy to hard drive make any difference, at least with the sound issue? (Yes, I'm grasping at straws, but I'm at a loss as to what to do.)

Thanks for all of the hard work on this.

#42 Post by MU » Wed 26 Oct 2005, 19:35

Reuters works in Mozilla for me:

www.ap.org uses Flash-Videos.
I have the same problem as you with the too fast sound.
I also have this problem with "wavplay", I could fix that with this dotpup:
http://www.murga.org/%7Epuppy/viewtopic.php?t=2939

But I don't know how to fix it with the Shockwave flash-Plugin

Walt H · #43 Post by **Walt H** » Wed 26 Oct 2005, 21:21

Looking at your screen shot, I see it looks different from what I get. I don't actually get the video embedded; it launches in a separate mplayer window. Could that be due to the fact that Pizzapup uses Firefox rather than Mozilla.

As far as AP goes, anyone know what would cause the sound issues? I would have thought getting the video would have been the harder part since it uses Flash. Is it possible to reinstall a Flash plugin and resolve that problem? I know in Kanotix and Zenwalk, I had to install the Flash plugin for Firefox in order to get the site to work properly.

#44 Post by MU » Wed 26 Oct 2005, 21:39

yes, I think the mplayer-plugin was designed for mozilla, not for firefox.

I think the Flash- Soundproblem is on a lower level, thats to say something wrong with the oss-soundcarddriver for our Chipsets.
On my mandrake maybe another soundcarddriver is used, so it works.

I have no idea how to fix that, I have no knowledge about these things.

Your mplayer-plugin does work in firefox. My little 400mhz computer doesn't play video flash, but newer machine I've seen, works great with video flash in puppy. 2700+ and a 3000+ mhz computers.

#46 Post by MU » Wed 02 Nov 2005, 03:38

I compiled another version using the X.org -libraries.

The "normal" version did not have the acellerated "xv" videodriver, I just recognized this today.

This version will not run on the "normal" Puppy.

Please tell me, if it works for you or not.

Mark

GuestToo · #47 Post by **GuestToo** » Wed 02 Nov 2005, 04:02

--enable-xv did not enable xv? maybe it required xv really to be installed to enable it

#48 Post by MU » Wed 02 Nov 2005, 04:08

I used this:

Code: Select all

# ./configure --enable-gui --enable-vesa --enable-xv --enable-x11 --enable-mmx --enable-mmx2 --enable-3dnow --enable-3dnowex --enable-sse --enable-sse2 --disable-sdl --enable-shm --enable-runtime-cpudetection --target=i386-linux

I also renamed the "HIDE"-files in /usr/X11R6/lib in "normal" Puppy (libXV) and tried to compile it.
But it seems they are not used, and I cannot choose XV when I run the binary in X.org-Puppy then.
Maybe there are missing some Header-files in "normal"Puppy, but I was too lazy to check that out, so I compiled it in X.org-Puppy.

Greets, Mark

GuestToo · #49 Post by **GuestToo** » Wed 02 Nov 2005, 05:04

the xorg mplayer binary seems to work ok in normal Puppy if the missing libraries are installed (i did not test the package, i extracted the binary and put it in my mplayer dir in my-applications/mplayer/)

the missing library files are about 66k

# ldd -d mplayer | grep not
libXxf86dga.so.1 => not found
libXv.so.1 => not found
libXxf86vm.so.1 => not found

(my normal Puppy is Puppy 1.0.5 with usr_devx.sfs, using xvesa, not xorg)

#50 Post by MU » Wed 02 Nov 2005, 05:15

Ok, I made a dotpup with these libs, if for any reason someone wants to run the X.org-mplayer on a "normal" Puppy.
I think it would be no good idea to add them to mplayer itself.
I want to avoid to overwrite files, in case there will be a new release of X.org somewhen.

The X.org-mplayer now resides in this subfolder to avoid confusion:
