 Posted: Thu Oct 05, 2006 4:18 pm Post subject: mplayer full screen problem |
 |
|
Since my latest emerge -vuDN world and upgrade to xorg 7.0 mplayer preservers the same aspect as the original movie when i try to use full screen.
My /etc/mplayer.conf hasn't changed. I think the problem resides in this error message: | Code: | | Movie-Aspect is undefined - no prescaling applied. |
I tried to re-emerge mplayer but it didn't helped. Here is the output of
| Code: | mplayer myfilm.avi -zoom -ao alsa

Should i try to recompile with other use flags? I have Intel graphic card.
This is my relevant part from xorg.conf

The part of extensions and Option "VideoOverlay" "on" i added now, without restarting x.
Any suggestions what is wrong?
I found now that the same thing happens with vlc too. |

Did you tried xv as vo? (xv should also be the default videooutput, too)
Video Overlay is only for a second Monitor as far as I know.
If that doesn't work, what does glxinfo says?

I tried all formats. xv, x11,gl,gl2. Now i found with other movie that shows movie aspect and when i try full screen it preservers the aspect too. I also tried -nokeepaspect flag (which solved the problem for someone who has a Mac and mplayer) and it didn't help as well. For films that didn't show the aspect, it announced the aspect and prescaling but on full screen, i got the same effect. so aspect probably is not the problem.

try to disable the -zoom option, because this is only needed for software scalling.
By emerging xorg7, did you specifiy the video card in the make.conf as the upgrade guide suggest it? (I think without it, it will just install all)
| Quote: | There are generally two kind of video cards. One kind (the newer cards) has hardware scaling and YUV acceleration support, the other cards don't.
2.2.1. YUV cards
They can display and scale (zoom) the picture to any size that fits in their memory, with small CPU usage (even when zooming), thus fullscreen is nice and very fast.
*
Matrox G200/G400/G450/G550 cards: although a Vidix driver is provided, it is recommended to use the mga_vid module instead, for it works much better. Please see the mga_vid section about its installation and usage. It is important to do these steps before compiling MPlayer, otherwise no mga_vid support will be built. Also check out the Matrox TV-out section. If you don't use Linux, your only possibility is the VIDIX driver: read the VIDIX section.
*
3Dfx Voodoo3/Banshee cards: please see tdfxfb section in order to gain big speedup. It is important to do these steps before compiling MPlayer, otherwise no 3Dfx support will be built. If you use X, use at least 4.2.0, as 3dfx Xv driver was broken in 4.1.0, and earlier releases.
*
ATI cards: VIDIX driver is provided for the following cards: Radeon, Rage128, Mach64 (Rage XL/Mobility, Xpert98). Also see the ATI cards section of the TV-out documentation, to know if you card's TV-out is supported under Linux/MPlayer.
*
S3 cards: the Savage and Virge/DX chips have hardware acceleration. Use as new XFree86 version as possible, older drivers are buggy. Savage chips have problems with YV12 display, see S3 Xv section for details. Older, Trio cards have no, or slow hardware support.
*
nVidia cards: may or may not be good choice for video playing. If you do not have a GeForce2 (or newer) card, it's not likely to work without bugs. the built-in nVidia driver in XFree86 does not support hardware YUV acceleration on all nVidia cards. You have to download nVidia's closed-source drivers from nVidia.com. See the nVidia Xv driver section for details. Please also check the nVidia TV-out section if you wish to use a TV.
*
3DLabs GLINT R3 and Permedia3: a VIDIX driver is provided (pm3_vid). Please see the VIDIX section for details.
*
Other cards: none of the above?
o Try if the XFree86 driver (and your card) supports hardware acceleration. See the Xv section for details.
o If it doesn't, then your card's video features aren't supported under your operating system  If hardware scaling works under Windows, it doesn't mean it will work under Linux or other operating system, it depends on the drivers. Most manufacturers neither make Linux drivers nor release specifications of their chips - so you are unlucky if using their cards. See Non-YUV cards.
2.2.2. Non-YUV cards
Fullscreen playing can be achieved by either enabling software scaling (use the -zoom or -vf option, but I warn you: this is slow), or switching to a smaller video mode, for example 352x288. If you don't have YUV acceleration, this latter method is recommended. Video mode switching can be enabled by using the -vm option and it works with the following drivers:
* using XFree86: see details in DGA driver and X11 driver sections. DGA is recommended! Also try DGA via SDL, sometimes it's better.
* not using XFree86: try the drivers in the following order: vesa, fbdev, svgalib, aalib. |

Tried as you mentioned. -zoom doesn't help. Before upgrading to xorg 7.0 it used to work perfect. I tried also | Code: | | mplayer -vm -vo xv mymovie.avi |
and i get full screen but with the blue margin of mplayer. if i type f after that i get the black screen with the movie in the middle (without the blue margin) and the movie is with the same aspect. If i try the same code with other vo i don't get the blue margin but other anomalities of the film. Like small part in the middle of black screen, top part ONLY of the screen.
My card is Intel.

Most manufacturers neither make Linux drivers nor release specifications of their chips - so you are unlucky if using their cards. See Non-YUV cards.
2.2.2. Non-YUV cards
Fullscreen playing can be achieved by either enabling software scaling (use the -zoom or -vf option, but I warn you: this is slow), or switching to a smaller video mode, for example 352x288. If you don't have YUV acceleration, this latter method is recommended. Video mode switching can be enabled by using the -vm option and it works with the following drivers:
* using XFree86: see details in DGA driver and X11 driver sections. DGA is recommended! Also try DGA via SDL, sometimes it's better.
* not using XFree86: try the drivers in the following order: vesa, fbdev, svgalib, aalib. |

Since commenting zoom=yes didn't help, i changed it as it was before. I found that certain aspects of movies when i do full screen, indeed showed full screen. These aspects were 1.33:1 and 1.37:1. But when i used full screen of other aspects like 1.8:1 or higher, i got either almost full screen (1 cm black on top and bottom) or remained the same aspect as original (for aspects like 2.33:1).
This wasn't before upgrading to xorg-x11 7.0. So, I am sure it has to do with xorg settings. I can post the full xorg.conf here if it's needed.
last night the screen became black and i couldn't do anything. I had to switch off the laptop from the button. |
