[MPlayer-users] missing file (pci_names.[c,h] in MPlayer-0.90rc5 source code?

[Horst Severini]

Hi Martin,

sorry it took me so long to get back to you, but I had too much other
stuff to do.

The only two errors I found in the configure.log were

The latter isn't surprising, since this is a RedHat 7.2 machine, 
so it only has 2.0.3.

But the funny thing is that if I type gmake again after that error
that it can't find libdha/pci_names.c, and I think once more, since
there was another error which I don't remember now, it does build,
and I can install it and it does play specific files, both AVI (DIVX) 
and DVD (.vob), with "play file", but it can't just open and play a CD or DVD, 
since I get the following error when I try that:

---------
DVD:

Playing /dev/cdrom
track 01:  adr=1  ctrl=4  format=2  00:02:00  mode: 1
ioctl dif1: Invalid argument
Cache fill:  0.00% (0 bytes)    


AVI(DIVX):

Playing /dev/cdrom
track 01:  adr=1  ctrl=4  format=2  00:02:00  mode: 1
ioctl dif1: Invalid argument
Cache fill: 16.18% (1357216 bytes)    
---------

What does that mean?

I also get that error when I run the rpm version which I installed 
on a RedHat 7.3 machine, which does have freetype-2.0.9, and all the 
other required libs, since as far as I can tell, the rpm was built
on a 7.3 machine, right? So that shouldn't be related to either of
the errors above, since I assume the rpm built without errors.


Oh, but the sound of the DVD file quits after a while with the error

Too many video packets in the buffer: (4096 in 8283631 bytes).

What buffer is that, and is there a way to get around that?

It also complains in general that this system is too slow, which can't
really be, since it's a dual 1GHz P-III with 1 GB of RAM,
and it seems to play everything nicely, no glitches or stops or anything.

I tried all sorts of the suggestions, but none helped any, and the sound
still cuts out after a short time.

Thanks a lot,
