kilimanjaro Posted October 19, 2003 Report Share Posted October 19, 2003 I havung a problem with mplayer. When I try to play a dvd it freezes for a minute and the says that there are too many video packets in the buffer. I had to reinstall it. I tried installing mencoder and had problems. it worked fine before and now it doesn't work for dvd, mpeg seems fine. This is why I am afraid to install 9.2. When I xkill mplayer after it has frozen it only stops the gui. I have to use system monitor to actually shut it down and when I do it says mplayer interupted by signal 15 in module: demux_open whatever this means.

bvc Posted October 19, 2003 Report Share Posted October 19, 2003 I have a couple of dvd's it does that it does the same thing with. Stinks that I have to have 4 dvd players to play all my dvd's :roll: . I only need one on Win2k :lol: :roll: When mplayer does that, xine usually succeeds :P. Totem's sound is sometimes screwy, and ogle?....well ogle is downright ugly, and featureless, but sometimes needed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kilimanjaro Posted October 19, 2003 Author Report Share Posted October 19, 2003 The thing is that I played all of these dvds on it thursday and friday. Then I wanted to copy them and someone suggested mencoder and that is where all of my problems started. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Xamusk Posted October 23, 2003 Report Share Posted October 23, 2003 well... I use mplayer 0.90 (and mdk9.1) from plf and the DVD works without errors. Have you installed libdvdcss2? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cannonfodder Posted October 23, 2003 Report Share Posted October 23, 2003 Do an uninstall of mplayer and memcoder. Then make sure there is no mplayer installed still by doing a rpm -qa | grep mplayer and even searching for any mplayer files still on the hard drive. Remove any folders created by mplayer in your personal folder. Then do a urpmi mplayer to get it installed again.. Can't recal lif this is a plf urpmi source or just a standard mandrake..

Indigesto Posted December 21, 2003 Report Share Posted December 21, 2003 I'm having the same problem in the topic's title. When I play a dvd (first time I try) with mplayer I see the movie picture corrupted in many small squares and the audio playing stepwise. After about 10 sec the following error appears: "demux: File doesn't contain the selected audio or video stream" Tried to change the codecs and demuxer setting in the config panel without result. At least I didn't try all the possible codec families (dont know which is the DVD one). Totem doesn't work as well. It suggest someting like css coding (evidently non included in totem).

bvc Posted December 21, 2003 Report Share Posted December 21, 2003 (edited) install all the audio codec's and lib's you can find including win32-codecs and win-dom or something. I found/use rpm's but I'm cooker. You can find them on mplayer's website. Edited December 21, 2003 by bvc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
