afaik ffmpeg and mplayer use libx264 only for encoding, so that's really weird they cannot read em if you upgrade. Do you have a sample mplayer output when failing ? and perhaps a (small) sample file ? Here I can read h264 files fine. The output looks the same as if it was playing normally. I've narrowed the problem down to being strange condition that occurs between media-libs/x264-svn-20070924 and x11-drivers/nvidia-drivers-100.14.19. If I have these installed, start X, and play videos (of any encoding) it works fine. However, if I use OpenGL for any length of time (I use an OpenGL screensaver), from that point on any videos I play show up as a static (it's like a still picture) bunch of green rectangles with some red rectangles mixed in. If I downgrade to x11-drivers/nvidia-drivers-100.14.11 (leaving media-libs/x264-svn-20070924 installed) or downgrade to media-libs/x264-svn-20070325 (leaving x11-drivers/nvidia-drivers-100.14.19 installed), this problem goes does not happen. So, for some reason those two packages (media-libs/x264-svn-20070924 and x11-drivers/nvidia-drivers-100.14.19) won't play nice after using OpenGL. I've only tested this out in KDE, so I'm not sure if this is true for other desktop environments.

I really dont understand whats going on... any help is more than welcome Any issues with the NVIDIA binary drivers are outside of the scope of anything we can support. Your best method is to contact NVIDIA direct via nvidia-bug-report.sh or via the NVIDIA Linux forums, http://www.nvnews.net/vbulletin/forumdisplay.php?s=&forumid=14 (In reply to comment #4) > Any issues with the NVIDIA binary drivers are outside of the scope of anything > we can support.

No news on that bug, has the problem disappeared ? > I'm tempted to close it as worksforme... 1 month later... Sorry I didn't follow up, the problem went away when I upgraded to kernel 2.6.23. I imagine that they had some code for 2.6.23 in them that wasn't compatible with 2.6.22 as it was compile for my machine... |
