Mplayer with Multi-core support (09/2009) + gnome frontend

[alex12]

I tried to use this but the video will stay the same size and create a white border instead in full screen. I had the same issue with MPlayer on ubuntu on a different computer. Any ideas? Also, the space bar only pauses the video temporarily and occasionally the gui will freeze.

*bump* Anyone? The issue is rather annoying as I would like to use mplayer.

alex,
try
mplayer-mt -vo xv test.avi

With "-vo" you can activate different drivers.
I think these should work, depending on the chipset:

x11
xv
gl
gl2
vdpau

x11 is unaccellerated (not scaling), the other use different methods of accelleration and scale the picture.

Using the gnome-mplayer frontend, you also can select them in the options.

I've installed this on Puppy 4.3.1. The gnome frontend works fine although the full screen is dogdy. So I tried opening a video from the console but I get only audio it can't open the video stream. It says the video_output (vo) can't be opened.
