In MPlayer from 2008-07-18 should be PAFF implemented. I think it is supported at least for a half of year.
Now I'd like to ask you for help with my problem. On my work computer I can't run MPlayer. The CLI version MPlayer.exe always instantly exits without any output. I tried different versions and builds. I have a suspicion that a firewall or other "service" is blocking MPlayer. I tried to rename the .exe but it didn't help. Do you have any idea how to check if my suspicion is correct? And more importantly do you have any idea how I could fool the service? |

I don't see how a firewall could prevent MPlayer from starting up
I recommend you try to run MPlayer.exe from gdb and see what it reports. Maybe you get some useful output... You can get latest gdb version here: http://sourceforge.net/project/showf...ease_id=594520 Try like this: "C:\MinGW\Bin\gdb.exe" "C:\Program Files\MPlayer for Windows\MPlayer.exe" Then type "run" to start execution and see what will happen...

I have no idea what software or problems there could be with Your PC, my current setup is Vista x64 Intel Q9550 (this thing rocks!!!) 4gb ram, and mplayer and mencoder work perfectly!
On that note... Mulder, one thing that anoys me about your Installer is no Mencoder!!!! Could you do 2 packages.... one with mencoder and one without! |

Is it of any help? I'm afraid not. I think I might need a debug version of MPlayer. |

But you don't get any output at all. That really bizarre. Sure your MPlayer.exe file is okay ??? You should get something like this: Code:

So there is absolutely no difference if you download the MEncoder.exe alone. See the link provided by DarkZell666.

LoRd_MuldeR> The same MPlayer.exe works on other computers without any problems. But it doesn't work on any computer at work. I also tried other builds with the same result. So my conclusion is that there must be something in our network which kills MPlayer as soon as it is started.
But I'm wondering how the "service" could recognize that the process is MPlayer. Do you have any idea? |

Or even a whitelist with authorised programs in which mplayer isn't listed ? What if you rename to somethingelse.exe ?

The network cannot cause the problem, because the MPlayer process won't open any network connections before writing the copyright notice and stuff to stdout.
Unless you try to open a web stream, it won't open any network connection at all... I guess it's some "conflicting" software, which is installed on all the computers at work. Maybe some tool that prevents workers from stating up "entertainment" software or buggy A/V software ?!?!?

DarkZell666> As I already wrote renaming the EXE doesn't help. Also almost all other programs (in portable versions) work without any problems.
LoRd_MuldeR> Yes, this is also what I think. Maybe antivirus (which I can't stop) is causing it. But I'm wondering how it can identify that the process is MPlayer. |

Hash? Signature? Heuristics? ...

Well, antiviruses identify viruses directly by detecting "bytecode patterns", or so to say. It would be very farfetched to think they actually built a signature to forbid mplayer, but technically it's possible imho. As MuldeR says, some companies use hidden processes to actually do just that sort of thing. They can even detect forbidden processes remotely (how cool is that ? ... lol). How exactly they detect mplayer depends on the product. Right-click on mplayer.exe and check the "version" tab. Some of them maybe use the info from in there, dunno ... There's tons of meta-information to be used to identify a program, and the "version" tab is only part of it

Thank you for your wonderful job. Two question: *if I put the mplayer window in some position on the screen there is an option to retain this position when the next title from my playlist is played? *when i make some changes on brightness/contrast there is an option to retain these settings when the next title from my play list is played? when the next title is played MPlayer redraw some default values... MPLayer is wonderful to play music too... sorry but i use one old 10/2007 version. All the newest mplayer versions have 40-50% more CPU using... i do not know why this happen, but anyway... great player... the best literally. Last edited by panzerino; 22nd August 2008 at 21:32. |

As i previously stated in this thread, then the MPlayer build that's included in the latest official MPUI package(dev-SVN-r26251-3.4.2 from the 15th of march '08 which is compiled with CPU runtime-detection), uses less CPU cycles and RAM while also being 1.8mb smaller than the P4 optimized "Sherpya" build(Sherpya-SVN-r27323-4.2.4) that's included in MuldeR's latest installer...
Direct-link to a zip archive with the lighter/smaller MPlayer-SVN-r26251: http://garr.dl.sourceforge.net/sourc...SVN-r26251.zip |
