 Posted: Sun May 28, 2006 7:09 pm Post subject: mplayer-bin and opengl |
 |
|
I have having difficulty using mplayer-bin for playing an .avi with the vo set to gl. When i do that, my cpu shoots up to 100%, and the process using that much is not mplayer-bin, but X! I have opengl set up for my ati x800. glxgears works, and glxinfo displays the ati information. However, if i choose x11 as my vo, i get hardly any, if no, cpu usage. Comments, answers?
P.S. Could anyone explain the difference between the vo being opengl and x11?
[edit] gmplayer-bin is also acting the same way. [/edit] |

| Quote: | 8.2.1. Xv
Under XFree86 4.0.2 or newer, you can use your card's hardware YUV routines using the XVideo extension. This is what the option '-vo xv' uses. |
| Quote: | 8.2.8. OpenGL output
MPlayer supports displaying movies using OpenGL, but if your platform/driver supports xv as should be the case on a PC with Linux, use xv instead, OpenGL performance is considerably worse. If you have an X11 implementation without xv support, OpenGL is a viable alternative. |
| Quote: | 8.2.12. X11
Avoid if possible. Outputs to X11 (uses shared memory extension), with no hardware acceleration at all. Supports (MMX/3DNow/SSE accelerated, but still slow) software scaling, use the options -fs -zoom. Most cards have hardware scaling support, use the -vo xv output for them, or -vo xmga for Matrox cards. |

Do you have problems running any other opengl aplication? Just like 3ddesktop or simply glxgears.
I'm having the same problem with mplayer-bin with the options -vo gl or -vo gl2 and any other aplication based on opengl.
I hope this info helps us.

Well I had the same problems with ati card few days ago, please post output of these commands:
| Code: |
LIBGL_DEBUG=verbose mplayer-bin
|
and
| Code: |
cat /etc/env.d/09ati
|
In my case problem was in the improperly set LIBGL_DRIVERS_PATH environment variable, when I changed them in env.d/ati to:
| Code: |
LIBGL_DRIVERS_PATH="/usr/lib32/xorg/modules/dri:/usr/lib64/xorg/modules/dri"
|
And everything (after reboot) started working again 
I use gl all the time since xv doesn't work on tv-out. |
