Yeah, I noticed the newer version of mplayer did not accept at first as well but I didn't remove the default mplayer package on my system. I just temporarily disabled the mplayer and mencoder binaries in /usr/bin by making symbolic links to the updated versions. Its a kludge but provides a retreat in case the new compiles did not work properly. Since they are working nicely I think I will remove the default knoppmyth mplayer packages.

Had to remove the fonts first but it worked fine after that... updating the guide to reflect your suggestion, cesman.

I followed the directions earlier in this thread but the output from
Code: mplayer -version results in exactly what graysky reported a couple of notes back. When I use this Code: /usr/local/bin/mplayer -version I get: Code: MPlayer 1.0pre7try2-3.3.5 (C) 2000-2005 MPlayer Team
CPU: Advanced Micro Devices Athlon 4 /Athlon MP/XP Palomino (Family: 6, Stepping: 2)
Detected cache-line size is 64 bytes
CPUflags: MMX: 1 MMX2: 1 3DNow: 1 3DNow2: 1 SSE: 1 SSE2: 0
Compiled for x86 CPU with extensions: MMX MMX2 3DNow 3DNowEx SSE
The comand: "which mplayer" shows that it is coming from /usr/bin/mplayer Since I'm a bit new to the wonders of the way command line instructions interact, am I correct is assuming that: Code: dpkg-r mplayer will remove the mplayer software from /usr/bin/mplayer? If so, do I need to modify a parameter in MythTV to tell it where to start player from? Now for my problem, since following the original instructions, I can play all my mpg2 and divx files on the mythtv box (very cool) but as soon as they start, the video lags behind the audio in ever increasing amounts. After a few moments, the audio is 7-12 seconds ahead of the video. I should mention that I have a pvr350 card and the videos being played were originally captured on a windows box with the same card. Will this solution fix that or is there some other tweak I need to perform. Thanks so much for the wealth of information provided in the forum, I would never be able to do this on my own. cesman wrote: Code: /usr/local/bin/mplayer -version Code: dpkg-r mplayer Then install per your directions.

Yes, if you change the location of MPlayer you have to tell MythTV the location. Or you can create a symlink. I'd suggest reading the MPlayer docs to see what it states about a/v sync. I don't think simply upgrading MPlayer will fix sync issues.

May I suggest that you add the following as the last step:
Change the path in Utilities/Setup, Setup, Media Settings, Video Settings, Player Settings from:
usr/bin.... to
usr/local/bin
...Otherwise nothing will play
Having upgraded Mplayer I now have a/v sync problems which only occurs when seeking. The upgrade might have also messed up my remote control configuration.

Using Code: ./configure --prefix=/usr rectified this issue for me without making any changes in myth. parkinpants wrote: The upgrade might have also messed up my remote control configuration.
Broke mine as well. It seems mplayer isn't compling with lirc support. I recieve this error when making; Code: _SOURCE -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 -I. -I.. -o lirc.o lirc.c
lirc.c:6:30: lirc/lirc_client.h: No such file or directory
make[1]: *** [lirc.o] Error 1
mplayer_build/lirc/ in fact doesn't exist.
Anyone have any ideas?

Even root can't execute something if it's not marked executable...

First make sure it's supposed to be an executable script. You really don't want to be executing a data file! That could get UGLY. If it really is a bash script you can either explicitly invoke bash with the name of the script like this:
Code: bash MY_SCRIPT_NAME Or you can mark it executableand run it like this: Code: chmod +x MY_SCRIPT_NAME
MY_SCRIPT_NAME These days it is STRONGLY recommended that you use the mnemonic logical categories (ugo) and permissions (rwx) with chmod rather than the raw numerics. This makes it easier to get the permissions you really want and avoids the urge to do something stupid like setting ALL the permissions bits because you can't be bothered to remember what the octal codes stand for. For more information on a command like chmod you can always refer to the online manual pages. Code: man chmod

When installing mplayer, instead of
Code: make install you could do Code: checkinstall Which will make a .deb file and install with dpkg. The advantage is that you can just as easily remove the package with Code: dpkg -r mplayer-1.0pre7try2

I've just read through this 'tutorial' a few times and was a bit confused by the diff paths to knoppmyth's current ones that are used and follow up posts with new info. I have colated WHAT I've interpreted from all the posts and set the paths & configure lines in a way so it should maintain the current knoppmyth config. I did wonder if there would be any issues doing all the steps as root, though noticed prev version of mplayer/fonts etc were set as root so figured it must be OK? - Anyway it all installed OK and appears to work fine.
first I download the following files to /usr/src/ (current as of today)
Code: # cd /usr/src
# wget http://ftp5.mplayerhq.hu/mplayer/releases/MPlayer-1.0pre7try2.tar.bz2
# wget http://ftp5.mplayerhq.hu/mplayer/releases/codecs/essential-20050412.tar.bz2
# wget http://ftp5.mplayerhq.hu/mplayer/releases/fonts/font-arial-iso-8859-1.tar.bz2
# wget http://downloads.xvid.org/downloads/xvidcore-1.1.0.tar.bz2
tar them Code: # cd /usr/src
# tar -xjf MPlayer-1.0pre7try2.tar.bz2
# tar -xjf essential-20050412.tar.bz2
# tar -xjf font-arial-iso-8859-1.tar.bz2
# tar -xjf xvidcore-1.1.0.tar.bz2 remove current mplayer Code: # dpkg -r mplayer-fonts
# dpkg -r mplayer copy fonts & codecs in Code: # mkdir /usr/lib/codecs
# cp -r /usr/src/essential-20050412/* /usr/lib/codecs/
# cp -r /usr/src/font-arial-iso-8859-1/* /usr/share/mplayer/font/ install latest xvid Code: # cd /usr/src/xvidcore-1.1.0/build/generic
# ./configure --prefix=/usr
# make
# make install install latest mplayer Code: # cd /usr/src/MPlayer-1.0pre7try2
# ./configure --prefix=/usr
# make
# make install check new version installed ok (MPlayer 1.0pre7try2-3.3.5) Code: # mplayer -version check if codecs installed properly Code: mplayer -vc help DONE... I also tried (checkinstall), created a package but it wouldnt install so was abandoned Code: # cd /usr/src/xvidcore-1.1.0/build/generic
# ./configure --prefix=/usr
# make
# checkinstall

anyone knowhow to fix this? I used the directions in the first post but they would not install correctly. So I then used the post right above mine, now I am where I am now. Any suggestions?
SOLVED::
you have to specify the -vo -x11 in myth to play the files correctly with x11 drivers. Default I believe is xv driver support.
Thanks
