Hey,
I'm wondering if the streaming capabilities are functioning. I'm trying to get mplayer to play radio streams & it just dies.
LMLM4 Stream Format not found
Any ideas?

Even with -vo null MPlayer will decode thw video, you will have to use -vc dummy or -vc null as well!

I have a laptop with a P IV 2,4 Ghz and all players was getting wrong with Divx/DVD ... the sound is getting crazy, going from the normal speed to slowler to quicklier, so Cameron Diaz was speaking like donald Duck to Barry white, to herself and then back to Donald ... the oscillation is something like 2 minutes.
Everybody told me that it's due of my processor that is more that 2 Ghz. I have tested at last MPlayer just to test and .... IT WORKS PERFECTLY !!!
Tested under dev ed 2.1 and PhOS b5 so i should works everywhere is think.
This player definitly needs a GUI :)

Buck, you may be interested in the OBOS media kit mailing list:
http://www.freelists.org/archives/openbeosmediakit
s_d:
The reason I don't think it is SDL:
-Playing MP3 files (which use the SDL audio driver), use very little CPU.
-Playing a movie with "-vo null" sets the video out driver to null, thus no SDL windows are created. To me, this should give about the same CPU usage as playing a standard MP3, but in fact it uses around 50% of my Athlon XP 2400+. I realise playing the sound from an avi file requires extra work extracting the audio and stuff, but from 2% to 50% seems a little excessive.

I don't think that there is anything wrong with MPlayer itself.
But AFAIL it uses SDL, which is far from perfectness under BeOS. It is old, non-polished port of SDL core.
See, those games which run under DOS decently on 40-60 MHz machine in its BeOS SDL version barely run on 400-600 MHz

Deja vu...
I remember Sakoman in 2000 telling BeNews that the beta version of the media kit was nearly ready and everyone got really excited and stuff. And everyone hoped for improved SB128 driver... And it all turned out to be closed beta and never got released officially. Now, let's hope OpenBeOS will at last bang that alpha Media Kit together. All the best to them. And hopefully it will put an end to the duplication of efforts in the media players area.

I think there is a bug in the port, or something very-unBeOS-like in the design of the program to cause it to run so slowly.
VLC can play DivXs barely idling on this comp (around 10% CPU usage). But the same file with mplayer uses approximately 60-70% CPU. Interestingly, even with "-vo null", processor usage is still around the 50% mark. Yet playing mp3s uses no noticeable CPU.
Incidentally, MediaPlayer with the 3ivx codecs uses even less CPU than VLC (around 5%), you may want to try that. However, there are audio sync issues - there should be an alpha of the OBOS media kit soon which I hope will fix that though.

Hey there! I wonder if any of the developers know whether the version of compiler is actually responsible for speed improvement/less processor usage or whether the overlays are mostly responsible.
I'm asking this because there's that Dual PPro 200 machine that runs BeOS and FreeBSD 5.1, and while I could finally manage VLC on BeOS to use overlays, the playback of divx movies is still not smooth. However, in FreeBSD on the same machine mplayer does the same PERFECTLY! I think it even barely uses half of processing power available (while vlc on BeOS uses all 2 processors to the max). I remember it only happened after I compiled mplayer on FreeBSD with "optimized flags" (can't remember exactly). So I wonder if it turned on gcc3 compiler, or not, or what this could be at all. Because I cannot find a reason why BeOS would be slower then than FreeBSD. No, it just shouldn't be!!

Thanks for the update - keys work now. It seems to play the sound in movies better than vlc (even though it uses much more CPU).

The OpenBeOS media kit will (obviously) use an open API. From looking at the recent list archives, a beta doesn't seem too far away. So hopefully this year we can use a media kit that works (none of the syncing issues in Media Player) with some nice modern codecs.

(surely this is not the best place to post this, but... oh well :-)
Couldn't we "reverse" at least the most simple BeOS encoder ("raw.encoder") to get a bare-bones implementation of a Media Encoder? I'm sure it is quite possible to do, because even _I_ (with my nearly non-existent C/C++ coder skills, not to mention that I just learned to use objdump) was able to get some clues from that one.
It would be wonderful if someone with a little more experience than I decides to reimplement the raw.encoder (after that, I'm sure that adapting the Encode() and alike methods, could be made easily).

@ both
One of the advantages of using mplayer instead of vlc is the subtitle. I know that vlc supports subtitle in general but when people need to load subtitles with non-alphabet letters not in unicode there comes a problem. Mplayer can handle such subtitles very well. So like asians without enough English (or ones the movie is in) have to use mplayer to load subtitles in their langages instead of vlc.
@ BePage
The truth : the lack of overlay feature is not the state of mplayer but the state of BeOS port of mplayer. But I think it will be resolved soon :)

Please don't get me wrong, I am very grateful for all you people working on BeOS. I just thought it would be better if developers not spend time in developing the same sort application over and over again. I thought if you make an application with an encoder build-in, why not just work the encoder part. I might be all wrong but that is my question.
eg I have personalStudio ( pS) which didn't recognize some movie, but VLC did. Now, thanks to 3ivx, pS ( and MediaPlayer as well ) recognize this format too and I am able to edit and save it in different formats.
BTW I did see there is an mencoder too, but as I understand things ( again I might be all wrong ) codecs
( COdersDECoderS??) can be used both to decode and code a movie.
I will try MPlayer soon and I thank you for your work and I hope you will continue to work on the BeoS.

If you don't need it, what the hell are you doing here. Go spend your time somewhere else
Choice is good, don't narrow the choice down, just because you don't need it.
mictlantecuhtli thank you for your effort, all we need now is a spiffy GUI to control this. And some more work to make it more stable on BeOS :)

If someone had a good documentation available on how to write media codecs for BeOS, then sure. Right now there are at least three different Media Kits and I haven't seen any help for developing things to them. Codecs that are available here for download are closed-source too.
I thought you folks would have been pleased to see more software for BeOS, or is it forbidden to have more than one application for one task? In case you didn't notice, MPlayer also has mencoder, something that other players don't have. If you have a better encoding tool available for BeOS then post it to BeBits. That was the main reason I ported this.
About this one-year-old version: I've never seen or tested it. Even now when I searched for it from the web, I didn't find anything useful. If you have it or information about it, then post it instead of complaining.

go and ask the patches from the one-year-old-already-ported mplayer instead of doing that again. I think it even had overlay support. IIRC it's someone from BlueEyedOS who did that port.

I also couldn't get to windowed mode or toggle the resolutions succesfully. Also, none of the keys for controlling playback seemed to work. I had to kill it from ctrl-alt-delete, and indeed CPU usage is much higher than with vlc.
However even now, it doesn't do the same annoying pitch-shifting vlc does, and I have a fast computer - so it is better for watching a movie from start to end than vlc.
Thanks for the port! If only the playback-controlling keys worked, it would make a nice alternative to vlc.

If MPlayer will move to a usabe state as-good-as-vlc I might consider even using it. But in its current state its unusable. Especially w/o overlay picture quality is bad IMHO.

I tried pressing the 'f' key to get to window mode but nothing worked.. it's stuck on fullscreen mode.
also using 'c' to toggling the resolutions on it also didn't work either as stated in the window's title that i read from the deskbar.

Better go porting mplayer G2 directly, it's supposed to be much cleaner...
