mplayer (installed with kanotix script) shows white screen.
anyone have a solution?
Did you try linking the libs?
Code:
sudo ln -s /usr/lib/libva-x11-0.31.1.1.so.1.0.3 /usr/lib/libva-x11-0.31.0.6.so.1
sudo ln -s /usr/lib/libva-glx-0.31.1.1.so.1.0.3 /usr/lib/libva-glx-0.31.0.6.so.1
sudo ln -s /usr/lib/libva-0.31.1.1.so.1.0.3 /usr/lib/libva-0.31.0.6.so.1
Otherwise uninstall everything mplayer, mplayer-gui, mplayer-nogui, mplayer-skins related, vlc, vlc-nox vlc-data, vlc-plugin-*.
Then do a:
Code:
sudo ppa-purge ppa:nvidia-vdpau/cutting-edge-multimedia
Then re-add the repo, update, upgrade and install vlc and mplayer.
You might also need to set vlc's output to x11 (although this isn't related the the mp4v error).
Totem won't ever work afaik unless XV is fixed or someone rigs gstreamer-vaapi support. It will just stop complaining about missing codecs, and display black instead.
