 Posted: Wed Apr 01, 2009 10:04 pm Post subject: Mplayer pauses video all the time. (Solved) |
 |
|
Hi guys,
Mplayer used to work like a charm but now when I try to watch a film (mpeg4 or everything else), during playback it will pause for about 7-8 seconds and then it will continue playback. After a while it will repeat it and so on and so on and it won't say a single error log.
I tried with both the stable mplayer, the masked one and from third party repositories with no resolve. I tried ffmpeg 0.4.9, 0.5 and svn and I also, tried with alsa, oss, esd etc and three different versions of nvidia-drivers and even updated xorg-x11 to 7.4 with no solution.
I am desperate. I can not watch a movie because even Xine can not sychronize video and audio after a while and totem (the only player which works perfectly can not load subtitles even with the powertotem plugin on).
I have an nvidia 8400gs and totem plays even 1920HD Elephants Dream perfectly with smooth motion and fast seeking so is not a hardware problem.
What could be the problem?

| I had the same problem awhile back. Getting rid of ~/.mplayer and ~/.config/smplayer fixed it for me. |

I have similar problem. But my KMPlayer stops after 11-12 sec for good... I really don't know where is the problem. It changed suddenly. I think I wasn't merging anything... maybe bittorrent only. This is strange. Of course SMPlayer solves the problem, but KMPlayer is still broken. The fact is that now it stops during every movie. I tried to install testing version but without any result.
Can you help? |

| Maybe if you remove as well kmplayer's config files to work... |

With KDE 3.X you should have ~/.kde/share/config/kmplayerrc and ~/.kde/share/apps/kmplayer. Try | Code: | | find ~ -iname "*mplayer*" |

I'm using KDE4 so I removed | Code: | ~/.kde4/share/config/kmplayerrc
~/.kde4/share/apps/kmplayer |
and now everything is working perfectly.
Thanks a lot! |
