Hi.
I've been using VLC for a long time but got tired of it's jittery playback when move quickly through a video. I was using Celluloid for a while - it ran fine but a simple option like making it auto close after a video or playlist ends is not to be found.
I'm considering jumping to SMPlayer but am unsure as to which backend to use. How would mplayer compare to mpv - better, or no real difference?
Thanks.
Does anyone know how to macro buttons for the Mplayer on 351elec pineapple? I know that if I use the keyboard "V" turns sub titles off, and "shift + 3" changes language. I have almost a perfect RG351MP, this is the final thing, and it becomes OMEGA!
Hi i am figuring out how to run Mplayer CE on the gamecube
What do i have installed now:
- PAL gamecube with the Digital Out.
- GCvideo HDMI adapter.
- Modchip XENO (fully functional) wired install. boots all games instant .
- I do have a pack of 48 mini DVD-r , i used 1 for Swiss 0.6 (downloaded today)
- Gameboy Player attached
-SD2SP2 with 128 GB Samsung select card. recognised.
- SDGecko (well the ali express cheap alternative) working and recognized by swiss.
Now the problem:
I did everything but the MPlayer CE is not getting found i get a text saying:
SD/USB access failed
Please check that you have installed MPlayer CE in the right folder
Valid folders:
sd://app/mplayer-ce
sd:/mplayer
usb:/apps/mplayer-ce
usb:/mplayer
now the problem is that i already tried placing it in all of these folders, but nothing happens. I do have the SDgecko inside of it is a SDHC samsung 64GB card formatted in exfat. Maybe that is something that is not ok?
Who know how to fix this?
I have created a tiny script that randomly picks a Dead show in my collection and starts playing it. When I run the script from a terminal I have it print on the screen the directory name -- so I know the date of the show.
But... when I use a keyboard shortcut, I don't know the name of the show even though mplayer sure is playing it.
Anyone know a way I can inspect the running mplayer process in real-time?
I know I can add to the script and have it output something upon launch, but I want to see inside the live running process! Any help will be much obliged. :)
I sometimes watch videos that have much more subtitles than standard movies. I would like to be able to display the subtitles in a separate window or in the console. is that possible?
So basically I have jailbroke this Wii years ago using letterbomb. It has various things installed but DVDX or MPlayer is not anything that I'm seeing among them. At the moment none of my other DVD players are working so I thought I would try to make this work as one of it wasn't gonna be a big pain hah.
I'm trying to play a music file at a certain time with cronjob, but using mplayer doesn't seem to work even though I can manually run this command and it works fine. I've read about other people having similar issues, but no one had a solution. Is anyone playing audio files with cron? If so what are you using?
This is the command I used to try to run it at 2:37 PM, a couple minutes before making this post.
37 14 * * * root mplayer ~/Music/the_song.mp3
i use arch with dwm as my os,and i enabled utf8=true , unicode=true in ~/.mplayer/conf ,and btw i install all the arabic font packages ,and localiez by uncomment ar_MA.UTF-8,what i need to do to fix it
it only shoe _______ in sub
I am probably not the first to discover this but just in case, I have been messing around with Mpxplay on a 2008 Acer Aspire One ZG5 and cannot get audio working. However, MPLAYER for DOS will play video (MP4, FLV, etc.) with audio working on the same computer. I do have to use FFmpeg (on GNU/Linux) to drop the frame rate down to 5FPS so that the audio does not go out of sync if I want to watch video in pure FreeDOS, but that is besides the point. If I try to use MPLAYER for DOS to play audio only, it does not work, though I could have sworn it did before. So out of curiosity, I converted an MP3 file to an MP4 using FFmpeg with a small width and height since it will be blank/non-existant anyway and it played the audio just fine, only adding a few hundred extra kilobytes. I just though someone out there having trouble getting hold of older hardware might want to know about this.
By the way, I am still working on PsychDOS, a desktop environment of sorts with lots of included software for those that already have DOS installed or using DOSBox. You can use the following URL for more information, but there isn't much there just yet (hopefully soon): https://psychoslinux.gitlab.io/DOS/INDEX.HTM. And in case you are wondering, if you have JavaScript enabled, keyboard navigation should work.
When I switched over to ps5 to wanted to play 2k20 again then I got on and my main build and it was a 60 overall. Can someone help me i tried downloading my file back and it’s still a 69 overall
I'm writing script that uses mplayer to edit file selected by user. How can I find out if mplayer can handle format of selected file?
I've been using MPlayer on my rg351v, it works well except that it doesn't remember playback location.
Is there a setting that can be changed somewhere to make that work?
Mplayer is reading the config file just fine, but not input.conf. My syntax is as follows:
RIGHT seek +5
SHIFT+RIGHT seek +10
LEFT seek -5
SHIFT+LEFT seek -10
i get_file_name
p get_time_pos
Dear all:
I don't know why my mpv/vlc/mplayer is always freezing when playing videos on my hard drive. Freezing from my observation happens randomly, like when the video played for a while, it will just stop at one scene, both the video and audio, and after a few seconds, it will resume. The error shown by vlc during freezing is:
[00007fb51000b050] main input error: ES_OUT_SET_(GROUP_)PCR is called too late (pts_delay increased to 2000 ms)
I was thinking that whether this is an encoding problem from ffmpeg, since the whole errors vlc replied is:
VLC media player 3.0.11.1 Vetinari (revision 3.0.11.1-0-g52483f3ca2)

Thank you!
I am a long time user of VLC from 2006 IIRC. it is one of the software I install after fresh installation(which I do a lot) of OS on all my machines. Recently I have been trying to write an extension for VLC that just lets me bookmark video lectures(with one or two word desciption for context and write them a text csv file for later use), so that I can come to those points without interrupting the flow. But VLC is not letting to use a shortcut for the same via lua at least.
I heard some good things about mpv few years, but never tried it because of my love VLC. I am familiar with python and found python-mpv. it looks quite nice.
Has anyone tried both? Is writing extension easier for mpv. Should I invest time in tweaking VLC ?I am planning to extend this extension to support full courses like from coursera and youtube playlist. Should I stick with VLC or switch to mpv?
I have a directory of videos that I would like to play as a screensaver of sorts - if the computer is idle for x minutes, I would like to have it play a random file from a directory.
I have done a bit of research and have found that I can pull a filename at random easily enough:
random= shuf -n1 -e ~/screensavers/*
when I echo $random it produces a random filename from the /screensavers directory:
/home/Calimar/screensavers/morning_glory.mp4
but when I try to use $random in my line to run vlc it either plays the first video in the directory or errors out (based on how I try to use it).
cvlc --fullscreen --play-and-exit $random - produces an error about the playlist being empty
cvlc --fullscreen --play-and-exit "$random" - plays the first video in the /screensavers directory
I am a little befuddled by this - I would think that using a variable would be pretty stock stuff but I have found very little about doing it with VLC. Any ideas what I am doing wrong?
My environment is Pop-OS but I am planning on taking these lessons and setting it up on a Raspberry Pi for a family event.
I am working on a project where I want to have a live stream from a camera (currently have it working using mplayer tv:// /Dev/camera0) display on a tkinter screen, that would be displayed when called. I wanted originally to have mplayer be launched on start, and be hidden in the background, and then once called, be brought to the screen, then once complete, it would go back to being hidden. I haven’t found many instructions on if this is possible, or if I need to embed the live camera feed on another screen of tkinter, and toggle screens back and forth. Any instructions would be helpful.
Check it out!

Probably a stupid question, but I figure I'd check, does Mplayer support audio visualizations? Like Windows Media Player, VLC and those sort. I tried online searches but the only results that came up were a decade old so I don't know if anything has changed since then.
Let's assume I have tons of processing power.
Is there any way to stabilise a video in real-time during playback?
