@mikeb

Could you repackage that in new sfs? tried to use it in Q7-April64 and the sfs was too old.

Does april not have the sfs converter ... oh well..

Anyway for such bleeding edge you might prefer the gmplayer built from the same sources as the one in lucid instead.

Of course dependency wise nothing is certain :D

nope and instead of adding it back BK is just going to remove that warning reference to the menu item ( as per April64 thread )

You are quite correct - I have set video to x11. If I set xv I get the following popup:

Error opening/initializing the selected video_out (vo) device.

Yes it is simply a matter of click and go. The videos play OK.

@rufwoof,

In /root/.mplayer/config add

zoom=1

Works. Thank you.

you definitely do not have a proper video driver... will take much more cpu to do the job...recommended to sort out.

I looked up on the nvidia site and downloaded the appropriate driver.

When I started to install a popup told me I needed ldconfig and glibc.

Checked what was required for ldconfig - to cut a long story short I decided not to bother.

The CPU seems to be able to do the job ...

Ok if you go to nvidia it builds the driver from you...but then you need kernel sources and devx etc....

Its usually much easier to get one already built for your puppy.... just one that matches the version you downloaded.

Apart from video acceleration you have full screen acceleration for flash and 3d game ability.

But only if you want such things.

Exactly why I didn't bother.

Well in an ideal world it would be just a pet but these seems to be a little hard to find I have noticed.

Chasing too many new kernels at a guess.

no worries
