On my site it is possible to download an MPlayer experimental version..

it is created only to test if some modifies are correct. So:

1) There is a new CGX driver that is called CGX_VMEM_SCALE

WATCH OUT! IT IS SLOW WITH SOME VIDEO FILES!
IT SCALE CORRECTLY THE IMAGE AT FULLSCREEN
IT MUST BE ENABLED FROM SHELL BECAUSE NO Daniel GUI support exsist

Quote:

run >nil: mplayer -vo cgx_vmem_scale::ALWAYSBORDER -ao sdl nomefile.avi

2) Now it is possible to listen DVD with DTS.

WATCH OUT! THE DVD WITH DTS ARE SLOWER THAN OTHER!!! (LOL)
WHEN EXIT FROM DVD PLAYING A RECOVERABLE ALERT APPEAR (must check)

3)SDL doesn't work because i have activated the Overlay, so.. no overlay, no SDL.. :)

4)The original CGX video mode should be faster. Please test it.

Thank you
Andrea

I'll give it a test or two & let you know how I get on.

FuZion.

@afxgroup

On the subject of the "recoverable alert": I get this sometimes and with it I get
"ELF Library - Out of memory". Is that the message you are getting?

In the command line you issued:
run >nil: mplayer -vo cgx_vmem_scale::ALWAYSBORDER -ao sdl [filename]

I tried the other border options. Everything OK.
I tried -vo cgx_vmem with the different border options. Everything OK.

The program "CPU_Watcher" showed over 90% usage playing DVD with -framedrop added to
the end of the command line you supplied. (on my system)

More testing tomorrow, but it would be easier without the error on quit.

@thread

Repeating for those who missed it last time:
To play DVD from the shell (using afxgroup's command line):

run >nil: mplayer -vo cgx_vmem_scale::ALWAYSBORDER -ao sdl dvd[colon]//1 -framedrop
Substitute a colon for [colon] & eliminate -framedrop if you don't need it.

Please let me know of any typing errors in my command lines. One wrong letter or
wrong case, or bad spacing is critical here. Thanks.

Best Wishes,
#6

@number6

no, i have no out of memory error. I have only a recoverable alert. Nothing else. and only with DVD, not with simply avi files.

Don't worry. The message I described in post #3 occurred only with an attempt
to abort playing a DVD. I did NOT see such a message with mpg, avi, etc.
At the time I was pressing "ESC" several times to try and exit the DVD playback.
Workbench memory in title bar showed NO drop in memory at the time this "out of
memory" message appeared.

Additional note:Audio was severely affected by playback with the new "cgx_vmem_scale"
mode in use. I experienced the same "stuttering" and failures with audio that we
had seen in DP#3. Since you have mentioned a "slowdown" currently with this mode,
I attribute the problem to that unless you mention otherwise.

Still testing latest experimental version...

yes its slow, but scaling ist a must have ! It seems to work here (short test) but searching a video with up and down keys gives a grim and crashes mplayer.

@Beeblebrox

yes sorry.. i was forgot to reactivate a function..

Slight off-topic: I noticed that the dynamic information at the bottom of the
verbose shell output from DP#5 are missing in the experimental version.

Here are some samples from playing Angels.avi in DP#5:
A:149.5 V:149.6 A-V:-0.014 ct:0.149 2992/2992 1% 14% 0.4% 0 0

With a stopwatch timed to hundredths of a second, my time to play this video
varied from 230.57 to 231.16, a difference I attribute to manually starting and
stopping the stopwatch.
I suspected that "2992/2992" was frames played vs existing frames? The file says
"20 fps", which should make the play time about 150 seconds.

Edit(corrected):Error on my part due to seeing MPlayer in terms of "seconds" and
not dividing by 60. Doh! 150 seconds is, of course, 2 &1/2 minutes which DOES
match my stopwatch time of 2:30.57.

I would still like to know what the other numbers shown in the DP#5 playback
refer to. Thanks.

A new beta GUI is now available here: Deniil's temp page

Try out and tell me how it works.

Btw, MPlayer work great with the scale option And switching to fullscreen is now immediate due to no irritating 2 seconds monitor resync, THANKYOU!!!

Nice one! Using it now and it scales perfectly in fullscreen, except the part that its quite slow on bigger clips! But perhaps that will change one day when you least expect it ;)

but while we wait...have a mojito...or two!

also, thanks for the new beta gui denii!

I tested the experimental version on a .avi movie and i got a crash
before the sound appeared. First i see some frames and griiiiim

@Kicko

Hi again. Thanks so much for testing.
I realize the GUI is now available, but it might be helpful to try the file you
reported by using the Shell command line as listed by afxgroup.
I would be curious to know what codecs it was using.
That could possibly eliminate the experimental MPlayer as the cause of the crash.
Also, afxgroup does have an upload section for troublesome files to be checked.
Perhaps he would like to see the file that caused this crash.

@afxgroup

We love -you- too. (Heh! I'm taking liberty in speaking for Daniel).

@Deniil715

GUI seems to work fine. But the only two modes I have tested are cgx_vmem and
cgx_vmem_scale as mentioned by Andrea.

@afxgroup

Edited my post #8. Everything makes sense now. Remind me not to post late at night.

@thread

Since I must test for the most part through shell only (in order to get verbose
text output info concerning the files) I have not tested the new GUI much.
If anyone could look over Daniel's new GUI more thoroughly and report back to
this thread, it would be much appreciated. Thanks.

don't spand your time with this version.. this is only a version i've made to know if you like the full screen in this way.
I'm working on it evey day when the other compiler crunch other things..

OK. Everything seems quite normal with this version.
Everything seems to be behaving well, as in DP#5.

@Kicko
have you tried without subtitles? and with another vo driver?

My version number for the "experimental" MPLayer is showing through the shell
verbose output and through the program "VersionWB" and OS4 Version command as
1.0pre8.006. Are you getting a different version # because of Altivec?

Your version # 1.0pre7.005 (August 4, 2005) matches my version # from DP#5.
