TV output:
~~~~~~~~~~
! If you have a Matrox G400 Dual-Head card, you can watch movies on TV,
! using TV-out feature of the second head. You must have matroxfb support
! enabled in your kernel (2.4.x kernels). You don't need X11 for this!
! Tested only with PAL TV!
!
! cd TVout
! ./modules
! ./cloning or ./independ
! ./TV-704x528 (or another TV* script)
! Sending bugreports:
! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
First please read all the docs in this package, most of the problems are
! described somewhere. At least read the Troubleshooting section!
! We don't like answering questions which are already answered in this
! readme or other docs.
! You should try the latest development version (from CVS) too, maybe your bug
! is already fixed, but the new version hasn't been released.
! If you couldn't solve the problem, then send a quality bugreport
! via E-Mail to the MPlayer-users list : mplayer-users at lists.sourceforge.net
!
! *NEVER* send attached AVIs, MPEGs, or any big files to this list or private!!!
! Upload them to ftp://thot.banki.hu/MPlayer/incoming , and inform the list
! about your upload.
!
! Please include these:
! - your kernel version number ('uname -a')
! - linux distribution and glibc version (example: Slackware 7.1 + glibc 2.1.3)
! - gcc and binutils version ('gcc -v' and 'as --version')
! - your X11 version (example: X 4.0.2 + DRI snapshot2001jan12)
! - video card vendor/model (example: Matrox G400 DH MAX AGP)
! - sound card model+driver (example: Creative SBLive! with OSS (kernel) )
! - CPU vendor and type (example: Intel Celeron2-566 at 850MHz)
!
! Also include the required logs (as attachment, may be compressed zip/gz/bz2)
! depending the problem type (see bellow at Troubleshooting section).
! Do not send level-0 logs, always use the mplayer option '-v' when making log:
!
! ./configure &>configure.log
! make &>make.log
! mplayer -v test.avi &>play.log
!
! If we ask you for the file, then you have two choices:
! - upload the file to ftp://thot.banki.hu/MPlayer/incoming (at least a few
! megabytes)
! - send the exact URL of the file, and we'll download it soon.
!
! Please do not ask for features already listed in the TODO!
!
! Troubleshooting:
! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
! 1. Please read the docs first...
!
! 2. If you have compiling problems:
! - if you are an experienced programmer, please try to fix it, and send
! us the patch
! - if gcc reports problems around inttypes.h, try to copy DOCS/inttypes.h
! to the directory where the error occured. (or upgrade glibc to 2.1/newer)
! - if gcc reports problems around video_out_gl.c, try disabling OpenGL
! support: ./configure --disable-gl (you have broken OpenGL headers/libs)
! - if you are a user, send us a bugreport (see above), including these:
! - output of ./configure
! - output of make
! - config.h and all of config.mak files
! Note: many users reported that SSE was not detected while running on P3.
! Current stable 2.2.x kernels does NOT support SSE, so you can't use it
! without patches or using the 2.4.x series. (or try latest 2.2.19 or newer)
!
! 3. If you have a problem with the player, please run it with -v option, and
! send the output of it, with a detailed description of the problem.
! - can't play AVI files: check that codec .DLL and .ACM files are installed to
! /usr/lib/win32/ and are all lowercase (divxc32.dll instead of DivXc32.DLL)
!
! 4. If you have a file-specific problem (can't play a special file,
! crashes with it or similar) then please run with -v -v -v (debug level 3).
! Send us the output and the problem description via email bugreport.
! We may ask you to upload the file.
! - if it segfaults with an AVI file with MP3 audio, try with -afm 1 or -afm 4
! - if it's still bad, try with -nosound
!
! 5. If you have problem with display driver, please first check the list above,
! many of them isn't yet capable to AVI playing, and some of them are
! untested and/or unfinished.
!
! 6. If you have speed problems (too slow playing), then please first check that:
! - you don't use OpenGL driver while have software-only opengl (Utah-GLX
! disabled, or not yet installed, conflicting libs installed, or your
! hardware not supported etc...)
! - you have set up MTRR registers properly (many new cards are really
! slow without setting up MTRR registers. it's NOT done by X 3.3.x! Also,
! there are older K6-2's, which lack MTRR support /stepping=0/).
! Check DOCS/MTRR !
! - you have a fast machine (don't report that your 386 can't play DivX)
! - try with Null output (-vo null) and check CPU usage (first % value)
!
! 7. sound-related problems:
! - maybe your card doesn't support 48kHz playback and the movie requires it.
! - try MPlayer with the -noalsa option
! - compile MPlayer with --disable-select
! - delayed audio with some AVI files: try with -bps or -nobps option!
! - if you experienced delayed audio, try to compensate with -delay or -abs.
! you can specify audio card's buffer size in bytes with -abs option, or
! specify audio delay in seconds (positive/negative float) with -delay
! for example: mplayer -alsa -delay -0.75 test.avi
! mplayer -abs 65536 -delay 0.3 test.mpg
! - to play AVI files with VBR MP3 audio use the -mc 0 option!
! - no sound at all: check that you have working OSS driver (/dev/dsp),
! and it isn't used by another program (for example esd, xmms etc.)
! - use OSS. If the problem persists, use ALSA ;)
! 8. unsupported codecs (AVI files):
! Check DOCS/CODECS
