 Posted: Sat Mar 19, 2005 7:33 am Post subject: gmplayer not playing sound (sometimes) |
 |
|
I love the watching Red vs Blue (http://www.redvsblue.com/home.php) but sound is not working on 3 of the last 4 episodes. After sending the question to the Red vs Blue guys I got a responst from Gus stating I should "upgrade" to the latest version of Quicktime. At this point I checked the episodes on a mac and pc and found that the problem was on my end, gmplayer. I also tried the .divx files with no luck (getting a "no stream found" error)
What codec do i need to install to get this working? where do i get it and how do i install it??
currently running: mplayer-1.0_pre5-r5
I ran across the divx4linux codec binaries but they are 2 years old. Am i supposed to install those?

Hmm... I'm not finding an ebuild in Portage for the 'essentials codecs pack'(odd, since last time I emerged mplayer I remember a codec pack being a dependency), but you can get it from: http://www.mplayerhq.hu/homepage/design7/dload.html
That should get you working with later quicktime files. |

I think gentoo changed the name to media-libs/win32codecs.
The latest version is 20050216 which is strikingly similar to essential-20050216.tar.bz2 on the page that you suggested. (http://www4.mplayerhq.hu/MPlayer/releases/codecs/essential-20050216.tar.bz2)
it's marked ~ so I added it to package.keywords and emerged it. no change :-/ still no sound on some newer quicktime .mov files and no .divx at all.
I also checked http://www.apple.com/trailers/ and found that sound is not working on most of the newer trailers either.

Try re-emerging mplayer. Mplayerplug-in had no troubles playing the trailers on Apple's site with sound on my system. Have you tried the non-gui mplayer from the command line, to see if you get any errors?
'.divx'? Odd extension, you try renaming it .avi. |

I'm no video guru so I am not sure what is what.
I tried to reemerge mplayer to see what then...

*** Please downgrade/upgrade C compiler to version gcc-2.95.x or gcc-3.x! ***
You are not using a supported compiler. We do not have the time to make sure
everything works with compilers other than the ones we use. Use either the
same compiler as we do, or use --disable-gcc-checking but DO *NOT* REPORT BUGS
unless you can reproduce them after recompiling with a 2.95.x or 3.x version!
Note for gcc 2.96 users: Some versions of this compiler are known to miscompile
mplayer and lame (which is used for mencoder). If you get compile errors,
first upgrade to the latest 2.96 release (minimum 2.96-85) and try again.
If the problem still exists, try with gcc 3.x (or 2.95.x) *BEFORE* reporting
bugs!
GCC 2.96 IS NOT AND WILL NOT BE SUPPORTED BY US !

Funny thing is it works fine on some files and not at all on others...

| Looks like your make.conf is miss-configured, you shouldn't be compiling with SSE2, as Athlon XP lacks that. Odd error about the GCC version, try posting in the Portage forum about that. |
