    Re: HOWTO: Compiling mplayer with multi-core decoding support

    Thanks white hat this allowed me to watch 1080p mkv files that I could not watch before. That is very helpful.

    Though I assume you meant:

    sudo apt-get build-dep mplayer mencoder

    --output-document=/etc/apt/sources.list.d/medibuntu.list
    2. $ sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install medibuntu-keyring && sudo apt-get update
    3. $ sudo apt-get install build-essential checkinstall subversion git libgpac-dev yasm
    4. $sudo apt-get build-deb mplayer mencoder
    5. $ git clone git://repo.or.cz/mplayer && cd mplayer && git checkout origin/mt && git submodule init && git submodule update && ./configure && make && sudo make install
    That's all! Now 1080 movies can be smoothly played on my 1.3Ghz c2d without dropped frames

    $mplayer -benchmark -lavdopts threads=2 somemovie.mkv
    It could be that I missed something, your comments are wellcome
    P.S. I'm not really sure if the 1st and 2nd steps are needed, You can skip them if You want...
    I tried it all. I just got the problem with hardy, that it seems, that x264 cannot be found.

    Checking for x264 ... no (in libavcodec: no)

    So what todo to fix that ? Thanks.

    Probably your x264 is too old. You can find a recent version for hardy (and intrepid) here:

    https://launchpad.net/~rvm/+archive/libs

    (don't forget to install the -dev package too)
    Developer of SMPlayer.

    Thanks; didn´t know that existed!
    Looking forward to check the performance with the Phenom II 940. One Core is kinda disappointing.

    Hmm.. mencoder is still using only one core. So what todo now ?

    + getting now alot

    Too many audio packets in the buffer: (4097 in 1523941 bytes).
    Maybe you are playing a non-interleaved stream/file or the codec failed?
    For AVI files, try to force non-interleaved mode with the -ni option.

    What settings are you passing mencoder? Did you remember to use the "threads" option?

    any XV output?

    Hi I've compiled mplayer with initial instructions downloading leatest svn and ffmpeg-mt from git, using libswscaler from ffmpeg 0.5, also compiled leatest smplayer and installe, every seems to be ok and play better than totem-gstreamer but I cant activate xv overlay has anybody tryed that? (with -vo xover and -vo xv) it allways falls back to X11 wich causes tearing and uses more cpu eating frames, it could play better on overlay. Is it something to do with the svn of mplayer having disabled xv? has anybody tryed some version of mplayer with xv successfully?
    I'm using 8.04 (is the leatest stable with intel video driver until 9.10 I hope).
    wich output do you use?
    from command line it returns audio but no video with -vo xv and xover

    Yes, i do. But it does not seem to use all 4 cores. At best 2.

    And this "Too many audio packets in the buffer" issue. Dunno why that is no problem with the old player, but the new one.

    There is an alternate way to build using a specific mplayer source, maybe you'll have better luck there

    Are you using mencoder straight up as in mencoder blah, blah ?
