tried 586 and 386 without success - sorry to dissapoint.
Maybe others are having more luck?

#17 Post by MU » Mon 24 Oct 2005, 00:56

strange...

I just renamed my old pup001, created a new one, booted Puppy with it, and mounted the drive with the i586-Dotpup.

Installed, clicked on "run-mplayer" - works.

I have no idea, what else I could do to get it working on other machines...

Thanks anyway dear Test-Rabbit

your mplayer binary works ok on my machine
gui mode works ok too

it has Compiled with runtime CPU detection enabled
and mmx, sse, 3dnow etc etc

i did not install it using your dotpup.
i unzipped it and replaced my binary in my-applications with your binary.
the binary runs ok anyway

Ok, maybe lobster just had messed up his installation with an additional lib or whatever.
There should be some hints if he tries to run gmplayer from the commandline.
Good to know it works now for you, after the first versions did not.

So we are stepping in the right direction

I try and follow the instructs - I do I do

we need another tester - this is the message I got again

# gmplayer
gmplayer: error while loading shared libraries: libsmbclient.so.0: cannot open s hared object file: No such file or directory
#

GuestToo · #21 Post by **GuestToo** » Mon 24 Oct 2005, 06:59

i have a file called /usr/lib/libsmbclient.so.0
probably it is in usr_devx.sfs

the DSL mplayer package does not need this file

probably mplayer would be better if it was compiled with the --disable-smb option (otherwise it is autodetected)

maybe --enable-live would be good for streaming Realplayer

there are a lot of options ... i am not sure which options should be enabled, and which should be disabled

Lobster, could you type
ldd -d `which mplayer` | grep not
it should tell you what libraries mplayer needs that are not installed on your machine

using the 586 version on a AMD chip works great. The playback is so much smoother than default xine. The extra libs for xine also worked for mplayer. those odd windows formats.

Code: Select all

# dd -d 'which mplayer' | grep not
BusyBox v0.60.5 (2005.09.04-04:44+0000) multi-call binary

Usage: dd [if=FILE] [of=FILE] [bs=N] [count=N] [skip=N]
          [seek=N] [conv=notrunc|noerror|sync]

Copy a file, converting and formatting according to options

        if=FILE         read from FILE instead of stdin
        of=FILE         write to FILE instead of stdout
        bs=N            read and write N bytes at a time
        count=N         copy only N input blocks
        skip=N          skip N input blocks
        seek=N          skip N output blocks
        conv=notrunc    don't truncate output file
        conv=noerror    continue after read errors
        conv=sync       pad blocks with zeros

ldd not dd (el - dee - dee)

Lobster · #25 Post by **Lobster** » Mon 24 Oct 2005, 08:46

Code: Select all

# ldd -d 'which mplayer'|grep not
ldd: ./which mplayer: $No such file or directory
#

I expect I have to be in the right directory too? . . . eh . . . where is it this time?

I have a half eaten halibut that may be of more use as a tester but . . . wot no testers?

GuestToo · #26 Post by **GuestToo** » Mon 24 Oct 2005, 10:48

it is not
'which mplayer'
but
`which mplayer`

there is a difference
' is a quote mark, next to the <enter> key
` is a back-quote, above <tab> ... the command inside is executed

as in:
ldd -d `which mplayer` | grep not

ldd -d lists all the library files

which mplayer is where mplayer is ... on my machine mplayer is in my-applications, because i like it that way ... Mark's mplayer is in /usr somewhere, where it belongs

grep not prints only the library files it needs that were not found

it's easiest just to copy the line (mark it with the mouse) and paste it in an rxvt console window (middle-click to paste)

it's very helpful when people help by testing a package

i could have tested it before, by booting without extra library files (though it's sometimes hard to be sure you don't have any extra library files installed somewhere) and without usr_devx.sfs ... but i was downloading and seeding Pizzapup

PeterSieg · #27 Post by **PeterSieg** » Mon 24 Oct 2005, 11:43

Hi,

there is so much going on in this thread...
I am not sure if everything has settled, so I (anybody) can now doadload
just one single mplayer*.pup that contains all that is needed to run
mplayer in plain puppy 1.0.5...

So whenever you are done, just please change the headline/do a post
saying so...

PS

Lobster · #28 Post by **Lobster** » Mon 24 Oct 2005, 11:54

I knew getting that 3 button mouse would come in good for something (well you told me to get one and I did - never knew what it was really for until now . . .)

Code: Select all

# ldd -d `which mplayer` | grep not 
        libsmbclient.so.0 => not found
        libXxf86dga.so.1 => not found
        libXv.so.1 => not found
        libXxf86vm.so.1 => not found
#

Many thanks G2 - I am trying (in more ways than seven)

#29 Post by MU » Mon 24 Oct 2005, 14:58

Ohohoh... I absolutely did not think of testing it without usr_devx.sfs.

Without it I get the message Lobster mentioned.

libsmbclient.so.0

I will check out how much space it needs and if there is missing more. If it is too much, I'll try to compile without them.

Thanks, now I know how to proceed

**edit** it needs 1.3 MB.
Though nothing more is required, I will recompile it.

Mark

#30 Post by MU » Mon 24 Oct 2005, 16:00

Ok, now it works without usr_devx.sfs.

I cleaned up the Download-page.

You just will find mplayer, mencoder and the mozilla-plugin.

I included some skins in this final (?) version of mplayer.

Thanks to all for the help!

Mark

Lobster · #31 Post by **Lobster** » Mon 24 Oct 2005, 16:52

works for me - follow the instructions in the first post on page 1

Hooray - tried the BBC - working - if low res (I have broadband but not very broad)

#32 Post by MU » Mon 24 Oct 2005, 16:53

fine

thanks Lobster

I just now read this thread. (Man it's getting hard to keep up with all of the messages posted to the forum

). This is a great app and I will be happy to test it so I will download the dotpup and give some feedback

.

PeterSieg · #34 Post by **PeterSieg** » Mon 24 Oct 2005, 18:45

Hi Mark,

works - but not faster than gxine..
Using xorg... i810 grafic

Any advice?

Thanks! Peter

#35 Post by MU » Mon 24 Oct 2005, 18:56

Peter, set the "video" in the options to "xv" (you get the options with a rightclick).

What for a processor do you have?

You also might install the DRI-Module for your Driver:
http://noforum.de/dotpups/X11R6addons/

In my xorg.conf I have to set up some options:

Code: Select all

# This loads the DRI module
    Load       "dri"

In the Device-Section, I can set more options, but this might be chip-specific (I have a SIS 650)

Code: Select all

Section "Device"
    Identifier  "** SiS1 (generic)                      [sis]"
    Driver      "sis"   

    VideoRam    65536
# Option "no_accel"
 Option "fifo_moderate"
# Option "fifo_conserv"
# Option "fifo_aggressive"
 Option "no_BitBlt"
# Option "fast_vram"
 Option "pci_burst_on"
 Option "xaa_benchmark"
# Option "ext_eng_queue"

Important for me is, that Option "no_accel" is not active. This deactivates Hardware-accelleration.
