Celluloid poor video and wrong language, VLC Ok #619

Open noloader opened 3 years ago

noloader commented 3 years ago

Hi Everyone,

I have a fresh install of Linux Mint 20 (Ulyana) on x86_64, fully patched. The machine has been through apt-get upgrade and apt-get dist-upgrade. The machine is an Acer Aspire 5. The Acer has AMD Ryzen 3 3200U with 2 cores/4 threads. The Acer has Radeon Vega 3 with 3 GPU cores.

I tested the movie The Natural for travel. The language is English, and region is Region 1. I used the command dd if=/dev/sr0 of=THE_NATURAL_1.mov.

Celluloid is having trouble with both playback and language. The playback problem may be related to Linux Mint Issue 287.

celluloid

VLC is not having trouble:

vlc

Here's another movie called The Patriot. This does not appear to be a one-off problem.

Celluloid:

celluloid-patriot

VLC:

vlc-patriot

This was also reported to the Linux Mint folks at Linux Mint Issue 287.

Regarding Issue 287... I looked at the man page for celluloid(1). I do not see an .ini or .rc file to add hwdec=auto to for Celluloid startup. I also searched for one. 

# find /etc -name 'celluloid*'

Here is the Celluloid package info from Mint Linux.

This looks like it might be an mpv bug. Can you try playing the file with mpv and see if mpv also has trouble with the file?

Regarding Issue 287... I looked at the man page for celluloid(1). I do not see an .ini or .rc file to add hwdec=auto to for Celluloid startup. I also searched for one.

You can name the config file anything and put it anywhere you like, but the location has to be set in the Preferences dialog under the Config Files tab.
