Description Andrej Lazo 2006-08-29 22:39:29 UTC
Version:           0.9.3-pre2 (using KDE KDE 3.5.3)
Installed from:    SuSE RPMs
OS:                Linux

I've tried to run kmplayer with mplayer backend without success.
I'am able to run it with xine also mplayer's own gui works fine (also with win32 codecs) but when I try to play something with kmplayer and mplayer backend it just shows (Player mplayer Not Running) in status bar.
I've checked the README and tried to create ~/.mplayer/config  vith ao and vo but it didn't help.
Can you create the README more precise or HOW CAN I MAKE IT WORKING?

I'am using SuSE x64 10.2alpha2 MPlayer 1.0pre8-4.1.2 KMPlayer: 0.9.3-pre2 installed from rpms

Comment 2 Robert Marmorstein 2007-05-03 11:31:35 UTC
I had this problem, using Gentoo's latest release (0.9.4a).  Turned out the problem was hard-coded -vop flags in the kmplayer source.  Recent versions of mplayer removed support for -vop (-vf should be used instead).  I created a patch that fixed it for me.  A workaround is to simply install an older version of mplayer that still allows the -vop flags.  You can see bugs.gentoo.org <A HREF="http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=176893">bug #176893</A> to download my patch.  It's nothing special -- just a quick sed to replace the vop's with vf's.
Comment 3 Bram Schoenmakers 2007-05-06 22:27:34 UTC
Reopening because kmplayer is broken with newer versions of mplayer (at least on Gentoo).
Comment 4 Koos Vriezen 2007-05-06 22:58:19 UTC
Btw, you can workaround this issue by disabling the 'Postprocessing' option in the configure dialog.

Patch that fixes mplayer flags.

At Bram's request, here is the patch I used to replace the instances of "vop"
with "vf".  It is probably just as easy to do a

sed -i -e 's/\-vop/\-vf/g' * 

instead.
Comment 6 Marcos Vital da Silva 2008-04-16 20:57:05 UTC
O mpleyer não esta funcionando por que não tem como especificar as configurações adequadas: U sei todas as configurações posiveis mas mesmo assim não funciona: presizo saber qual as configurações corretas para o mplayer.

Marcos: please use English here. Do you mind to repeat that in English please?
Comment 8 PC LX 2010-04-09 16:04:07 UTC
Comment #6 translated from portuguese to english:

The mplayer is not working because it does not have a way to specify the adequate configurations: I used all possible configurations but even so it did not work: I need to know what are the right configurations for mplayer

I tried to translate it as close as possible.
