Gnome mplayer error message: Failed to open 12 (Solved)

[darkcity]

Morning

Everytime I open a file with gnome mplayer I get the error-

Failed to open 12

The file open okay however. I have check the .desktop file and it appears to have the correct execute line.

Any ideas, I'm using Slacko 5.3.1

[Semme]

Are these particular file types or any type multimedia file?

I'll guess it would dump a few lines to xerrs.log, no? Perhaps one of the other session logs?

Give a look to /root/.mplayer/config. Have you written anything in it? Try to delete /root/.mplayer. Gnome-mplayer is working well in my slacko 5.3.3. In lucid I have experienced some problems which I resolved deleting the .mplayer config dir.

[Semme]

Yep! A good place for a misnamed option.

−vc ffmpeg12, / outfmt=yv12 / −vc ffmpeg12vdpau / tv-outfmt=yv12 among others..

Thanks for the help. I'm opening mp3s and mp4s.

Same behavior after deleting /root/.mplayer/config

Here what appear from the command line and sometimes in /tmp/xerrs.log

Same errors here and then some aboard 528.

I'll suggest you pay this no mind:

Code: Select all

Failed to load module: /usr/lib/gio/modules/libgsettingsgconfbackend.so

You will need to explicitly enable it through your environment with GSETTINGS_BACKEND=gconf. It is strongly recommended to not use this backend unless you really know what you’re doing.

.. and add these to MPlayers config file:

Code: Select all

[gnome-mplayer]
really-quiet="1"
msglevel=all=0

Really-quiet may not need quotes.

That it works? No worries..

[darkcity]

doesn't seem to work,

I wonder if this is a problem-

libgconf-2.so.4: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
Failed to load module: /usr/lib/gio/modules/libgsettingsgconfbackend.so

[Semme]

Check your system.. You probably have libgconf-2.so.4.

I have it *and* get the error. Do I care? >> No.

Code: Select all

ldd /usr/bin/gnome-mplayer
libgconf-2.so.4 => /usr/lib/libgconf-2.so.4 (0xb6efd000)

I take you're talking about a terminal start?

It plays fine, right? Is the error visual when clicking on those media files?

Mine plays without incident, so, I personally don't sweat it.

Hey, so long as the engine fires, a few nicks on the body doesn't keep my car from taking me where I wanna go.

I installed libgconf which got rid of the error - but not the 'Failed to open'

Its a minor thing, but if I play an album I get an error for each song. Also, I can not quickly hard forward through tracks as the error box takes the focus - it has to be closed before the gnome mplayer interface with do anything else.

Anyhows, I've decided to switch to VLC with works smoothly.

Thanks for your help

Not sure what your conf looks like, but, you should be able to supress those errors.

Code: Select all

-msglevel <all=<level>:<module>=<level>:...>
              Control verbosity directly for each module.   The  'all'  module
              changes   the  verbosity  of  all  the  modules  not  explicitly
              specified on the command line.  See '-msglevel help' for a  list
              of all modules.
              NOTE:  Some  messages  are  printed  before  the command line is
              parsed and are therefore not affected by -msglevel.  To  control
              these  messages  you have to use the MPLAYER_VERBOSE environment
              variable, see its description below for details.
              Available levels:
                 -1   complete silence
                  0   fatal messages only
                  1   error messages
                  2   warning messages
                  3   short hints
                  4   informational messages
                  5   status messages (default)
                  6   verbose messages
                  7   debug level 2
                  8   debug level 3
                  9   debug level 4

I'm using gnome-mplayer 1.0.4

~/.mplayer/config

Code: Select all

# Write your default config options here!

[gnome-mplayer]
really-quiet="1"
msglevel=all=0

libgconf installed

and reboot

and its working, yay!
