 Posted: Fri Feb 20, 2004 5:43 am Post subject: MPlayer not playing Matroska [Solved] |
 |
|
For some reason, I cannot play files encoded in Matroska. If I try to, I get
| Code: | LMLM4 Stream Format not found
TiVo file format detected.
MPEG: No audio stream found -> no sound.
MPEG: FATAL: EOF while searching for sequence header.
Video: Cannot read properties.
No stream found. |
When I configured MPlayer, I added the --enable-matroska flag, yet it doesn't play. Can someone please help me?

Do you have media-libs/libmatroska and media-libs/libebml installed (newest versions aren't in portage yet...)?
Are you using the mplayer ebuild in portage or compile by hand (I'm not sure, from the way you said you added the --enable-matroska flag)?
Anyway, it could just be an unsupported codec problem. When I play matroska files I get this in the console output:
| Code: | [mkv] Track ID 1: video (V_MS/VFW/FOURCC), -vid 0
[mkv] Track ID 2: audio (A_VORBIS), -aid 0, -alang eng
[mkv] Track ID 3: audio (A_VORBIS), -aid 1, -alang jpn
[mkv] Track ID 4: sutitles (S_TEXT/UTF8), -sid 0, -slang eng
[mkv] Track ID 5: sutitles (S_TEXT/UTF8), -sid 1, -slang eng
[mkv] Will play video track 1
[mkv] Will play audio track 3
[mkv] Will display subtitle track 4
Matroska file format detected.

Maybe try posting more mplayer debug output and we can narrow down the problem. |

I compiled mplayer by hand. How exactly would I check if install media-libs/libmatroska and media-libs/libebml were installed? If they're not, how would I install them?
I edited my original post and added more of the output. Is that enough, and what can I do to get more debug output? |

Do a:
| Code: | # emerge libebml libmatroska -pv
|
You can also emerge the mplayer ebuild in portage with the matroska USE flag enabled:
| Code: | # USE="matroska" emerge mplayer -pv
|
From your extended mplayer debug output, I also think you might have a codec problem. Your best bet would be to "emerge -pv mplayer" (as shown above + look over any USE flags you want to add) and see what dependencies it wants to emerge. |

I emerged libebml, libmatroska, and mplayer. After that, I tried playing a file encoded in Matroska, but the video was just colored pixels. I also got
| Code: | | Cannot find codec for audio format 0x56444152. |

Same here, I have a lots of colorized pixel, all possibles colors with big square pixel, it's a great screensaver but it doesn't play well Matroska video file 
I have :
media-libs/libmatroska-0.6.2
dev-libs/libebml-0.6.3
media-video/mplayer-0.92
But then, I read on this thread : https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic.php?t=119790&highlight=matroska that mplayer-0.92 doesn't support matroska, so I runned this command :
| Code: | | ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="~x86" USE="matroska" emerge mplayer |
And I have now media-video/mplayer-1.0_pre3 install and MKV video file is working flawlessly, though I just lost my xvidix support, I'll have to tweak it but at least it's working.
P.S. also on the thread it is saying that mplayer-1.0_pre3 only works with libmatroska-0.6. |
