Experimental Mplayer build from SVN (Announce)

posted by Zyzzle, 04.09.2010, 06:31

Many thanks for providing this new build. Testing so far has been mixed. Getting rid of the obsolete Allegro is most welcome, however I tested on an old system with the AC97 integrated audio VT8237 chipset without success. MPLAYER detected the AC97 as present, but froze. Thinking this was an IRQ or DMA problem, I fiddled awhile with BIOS settings and pulled all the PCI cards from the system, and still couldn't get audio working...

EDITED to add that testing with your new build I'm getting a fatal VESA error on my old 1GB netbook with Intel 82945GM integrated graphics which is VBE 3.0 compatible. Something about a page-flip error. Any way around this? Strangely, this identical setup works on Mik's 2008 build.

IDH or HDA audio support with some patches will be even more wonderful...

I wonder if there is a way around the 2GB file-size limit? I think I posted about this topic a couple of years ago (around the time of mik's DJGPP ports of Mplayer), and the consensus then seemed to be a patch to unsigned DWORD integers was possible. At least unsigned 32-bit integers would make the limit 4GB which would play MOST single-layered DVDs and/or .VOBs all the way though!
