## mplayer segmentation fault

Wed May 08, 2013 4:50 pm

I installed beta11 to hard drive, and I noticed that gnome-mplayer won't play videos. If I started mplayer from terminal, I get a seg fault and a message saying that it can't find libvdpau.so.1 (even thought the file exists). I don't recall what happened if I started gnome-mplayer in terminal - I think it just failed without giving any information, but now that I've fixed the problem, I can't reproduce it.
Installing libvdpau-dev fixed the problem. Removing libvdpau-dev and running 'apt-get autoremove' to get rid of the extra stuff that came with it does not reproduce the problem.
The problem might be related to the fact that I'm using the proprietary nvidia driver, but I'm not sure about that. It seems to be working correctly now, but I wanted to know if anyone else is having trouble with it.

Slightly tired and confused, but i think that i installed the latest Beta of refracta to the box i want to give to a friend, and that i downloaded the song i once mentioned in the nonsense section (coconut) and plaid it in gnome-mplayer, as i couldn't play youtube videos.
All is a bit of a mess here, as several machines arrived, some with Windows, but i am rather sure.
(thinking a bit more about it i think it is Windows which confuses me).
I ain't got Nvidia, but usually intel (i think one box is not intel, but the other famous graphics card, ati?).
In short: no.

I haven't been on Refracta much lately. In the middle of a HUGE video editing project on Squeeze (where multimedia still works) that will take several more months. Maybe if I need a break I'll take a day to play with wheezy but unlikely. Hopefully, by the time I get the project finished wheezy will have settled in and all the kinks worked out. Installing on my 'working' machine is slated to be a project for this fall. Sorry I'm not available to play with y'all at this time . . .

I have a large usb stick which boots unmodified beta11 "live". It contains numerous films.. m2t, xvid, x264.
My lenovo (intel graphics) plays them all in gnome-mplayer. Not tried yet the tower which has nvidia using kms

Not really the right place but here's an update on progress of this project . . . about 2/3 of the way through. That's 17 of 25 episodes. Once they are done then a final run through to determine where tweaks are needed. At one a day it will take nearly a month. So should be all done by two months at the latest (that will nearly coincide with my 71st BD!). Hope that's not too optimistic . . . I've made that mistake before . . . I'll get back to wheezy after that's all done.
