    weird mplayer issue

    I use mplayer to play output from my tv tuner card on /dev/video0. When I launch mplayer the first time, it works great. If I exit and launch it again, I get this error. It doesnt start working again until I reboot or log out.

    Code:
    MPlayer 1.0rc2-4.1.3 (C) 2000-2007 MPlayer Team
CPU: AMD Athlon(tm) 64 X2 Dual Core Processor 4400+ (Family: 15, Model: 35, Stepping: 2)
CPUflags: MMX: 1 MMX2: 1 3DNow: 1 3DNow2: 1 SSE: 1 SSE2: 1
Compiled with runtime CPU detection.
mplayer: could not connect to socket
mplayer: No such file or directory

Exiting... (End of file)
    Any idea how to fix this?

    Thanks!!!

    Re: weird mplayer issue

    Do those DLLs exist?
    Also, does this happen with other players, like VLC or Kaffeine? (MPlayer's kind of old...)

      yeah, download avisynth and grab the appropriate dll & put it in /usr/lib/win32 and/or /usr/local/lib/win32.

      strange, i have mplayer 1.0~rc2-0ubuntu2 and i don't get that error. even stranger, i don't even have that dll in /usr/lib/win32 either. maybe it has to do with your tuner card or some tuner operation?...

        Re: weird mplayer issue

        What options do you use ? I'm using:
        Code:
        mplayer -bpp 32 tv:// -tv driver=v4l2:input=1:width=720:height=576 -vf crop=720:540:0:18,pp=fd,dsize=16/10 -vo xv
        -bpp <depth>
        Override the autodetected color depth. Only supported by the
        fbdev, dga, svga, vesa video output drivers.

        -tv <option1ption2:...> (TV/PVR only)
        This option tunes various properties of the TV capture module.
        For watching TV with MPlayer, use ’tv://’ or ’tv://<channel_num‐
        ber>’ or even ’tv://<channel_name> (see option channels for
        channel_name below) as a movie URL. You can also use
        ’tv:///<input_id>’ to start watching a movie from a composite or
        S-Video input (see option input for details).

        -vf <filter1[=parameter1arameter2:...],filter2,...>
        Setup a chain of video filters.

        VIDEO OUTPUT DRIVERS (MPLAYER ONLY)
        Video output drivers are interfaces to different video output facili‐
        ties. The syntax is:

        -vo <driver1[:suboption1[=value]:...],driver2,...[,]>
        Specify a priority list of video output drivers to be used.
        Before you edit, BACKUP !

          What is even stranger, is it works the first time but not subsequent launches...

          I will try to get the files and put them in the appropriate locations and see how it works.

          Thanks for the reply s!!!!

            Well, I tried your method and still get the error...

            Also, I went to download the avisynth driver and it appears to be a Windows .exe file. Is there somewhere I can get a .tar.gz or some other Linux file for this?

            Thanks!!!

              Actually, take a look at this... The second reply is especially of interest.
