8 years ago Try adding
export GDK_NATIVE_WINDOWS=1
to the environment and see if it helps. Also you might try enabling compositing.Original comment by kdeko...@gmail.com on 15 Mar 2010 at 3:41

8 years ago similar problem here.
http://http.ruv.straumar.is/static.ruv.is/vefur/innklipp_eldgos.wmv doesn't work
properly. in my case video starts without problems but after ~ 17 sec it gets
black,
while sound works. there is no possibility to get video back nor restarting
playback.
so i don't need fullscreen to get this bug. but i think it could be the same
problem.
(export GDK_NATIVE_WINDOWS=1 didn't help)

8 years ago because of original debia mplayer i have to use x11 / xv. so it does not work
properly no matter what video output i use. first ~25 sec everything works fine
but
then video turns black and doesn't return whatever i do.
i already use vlc to see if video is corrupted but everything seems to be ok.
do you a similar behavior with the same link on your machine?Original comment by sebastia...@googlemail.com on 22 Mar 2010 at 11:52

8 years ago I have this problem as well with an Nvidia 9500GT and the 195.36.15 driver,
compositing disabled in xorg.conf.
I think this is related to the way the frame is being drawn (for lack of better
terms), and not the fault of mplayer or nvidia. If you noticed, when going to
fullscreen it goes black, then back to a window it's still black; but then if
you go
into the preferences and choose xv, the video comes back. In other words
mplayer,
firefox, the driver, etc, have not crashed in anyway. smplayer and cli mplayer
also
have no problem with fullscreen and back again.
Is there any way to enable some debug logs for gnome-mplayer? Any other
environment
variables I could try?
As an aside, is there any way we can go back to good old cli mplayer like it
was
with the mplayerplug-in package? Why does gnome-mplayer have to be embedded
into
the browser, it just adds a layer of complexity such as being reported in this
bug
report. I was happy for a long time with the mplayer window popping up.Original comment by cpt_mo...@yahoo.com on 16 May 2010 at 11:16

8 years ago I understand your frustration, but the fact that it works with x11, xv and gl
video
outputs points to a problem in the vdpau driver/vdpau support in mplayer. You
might
want to ensure that you have a current mplayer. I don't have nvidia hardware to
test
with and everything works fine with my radeon hardware. When the video goes to
fullscreen. The video is moved from the browser window to a new window and then
that
window goes fullscreen. This is common X window manipulation, and the driver
should
be able to handle it.
Logs can be enabled with Edit->Preferences [Interface] and check the Verbose
Debug
Enabled. The output will go to the console or to .xsession-errors
mplayerplug-in still exists, if you prefer it, use it. But I don't do any active
development in it anymore. But if you would like to submit patches, I'll take
them.
gecko-mediaplayer and gnome-mplayer work great for most people. I actually
suspect in
a couple of years that gecko-mediaplayer will no longer be needed due to HTML5
and
the video tag.Original comment by kdeko...@gmail.com on 17 May 2010 at 1:08

8 years ago I use mplayer from SVN, and also tired with mplayer_git; no difference. I also
tried
numerous times to compile the CVS of mplayerplug-in but cannot do it.
Thanks for the info about .xsession-errors. I found out something interesting.
I
started a video in youtube (I'm using the greasemonkey script "youtube without
flash
auto"), then I changed the rendering to vdpau and copied out the mplayer
command line
from .xsession-errors. I stopped the playback in Firefox but left the window
open
and ran the command in a terminal which continues playing the video in Firefox,
and I
was able to double-click to go fullscreen and back and forth from Firefox! So
basically everything works properly as long as the mplayer command was run in a
terminal. This is above my head, but hopefully this rings a bell for someone.
Here
was the mplayer command for this particular video and session:
mplayer -profile gnome-mplayer -vc ffh264vdpau -quiet -slave -identify -volume
79
-noconsolecontrols -noidle -osdlevel 0 -nomouseinput -nocache -wid 0x5800046
-ss 79
-cookies -subfont-text-scale 5 -subfont Sans -channels 2 -lavdopts threads=4
-dvd-device /dev/dvd -af-add export=/tmp/mplayer-af_exportlqhjvu:512
/home/mocha/.cache/gnome-mplayer/plugin/gecko-mediaplayerudssit
I also catch an error like this in .xsession-errors:
VO: [vdpau] 1920x1080 => Window manager warning: Invalid WM_TRANSIENT_FOR window
0x5e00020 specified for 0x5e00320 (GNOME MPla).
As a final note, I noticed you are using -wid in the command, if I remove it
then
mplayer opens in its own window (like mplayerplug-in) and again everything is
working
properly. Is it feasible to patch the source to eliminate the passing of -wid?
I
will try it if you can give me some pointers. Thanks.Original comment by cpt_mo...@yahoo.com on 18 May 2010 at 5:24

8 years ago It is very easy to patch the source. Search for "-wid" in thread.c . However, no
patch that works like that will ever be accepted into gnome-mplayer.Original comment by kdeko...@gmail.com on 18 May 2010 at 10:42

8 years ago Thanks. It works. I'm not sure why you simply don't add this as a feature.
Something like "Play in browser" or "Play in standalone window". It's nice to
be
able to move the mplayer window to another screen for example, in my case a
television where I can go fullscreen there and still use the browser. Anyway,
it's
your call..Original comment by cpt_mo...@yahoo.com on 19 May 2010 at 5:34

commented
8 years ago Because it makes the controls appear in the browser window and the video appear
somewhere else. Also makes gnome-mplayer work weird so that is why I don't like
it. I
still consider this a bug in the nvidia drivers.Original comment by kdeko...@gmail.com on 19 May 2010 at 12:43

8 years ago I just wanted to report that i consider this issue resolved fixed :
after sometime using mplayer's CLI, and several NVidia binary drivers updates,
I decided to give gnome-mplayer a new try... And it worked. Currently i use
NVidia driver v260.19.29, gnome-mplayer 1.0.0, and mplayer SVN-r32717.

8 years ago sadly v260.19.29 is not in debian experimental. last time i made no good
experiences in installing nvidia-driver by hand. afterwards it was nearly
impossible to remove it and get a proper working dmakms with nvidia-driver
again.
but i will give it a try and report the results.

8 years ago [deleted comment]I am experiencing this when using vdpau with version 1.0.4, Nvidia driver
280.13. Video is only restored by switching vo to Xv and restarting
gnome-mplayer. This occurs with my Quadro NVS 3100m and Geforce 8400GS under
Ubuntu 11.04, running either Unity or Compiz. I believe it may also happen
under Metacity, will make an extended test later.Original comment by tom.gelinas@gmail.com on 3 Aug 2011 at 9:08

If a VDPAU accelerated instance of gnome-mplayer outputs only black, and
another VDPAU accelerated media player is tried, that other media player
functions properly. Even after having successfully played a VDPAU accelerated
video with another player, gnome-mplayer still does not properly function.
I have not seen this problem with gmplayer and mplayer. I wonder if it only
occurs after launching several instances of ANY VDPAU accelerated media player.
If someone wants narrow the scope of this bug, they should probably use
gmplayer with vo=VDPAU as their default media player for a while. If gmplayer
displays only black output, then the problem is probably with VDPAU. Otherwise,
there is a valid issue with gnome-mplayer.Original comment by tom.gelinas@gmail.com on 6 Aug 2011 at 4:04

8 years ago There is a fix in the current SVN code that may fix this. I was advised to not
set the background color for the vdpau output as it may cause issues. So I have
made that change. I have a ATI card that can use VDPAU under gallium and I am
unable to duplicate the problem with that setup.Original comment by kdeko...@gmail.com on 9 Aug 2011 at 3:31

8 years ago We are experiencing same issues here.
Our gnome-mplayer version is 1.0.4b2, mplayer 2:1.0~rc4, from natty repos, and
we are using an iON based custom device (VDPAU acceleration is fundamental for
us)
Since we only need the gecko-mediaplayer -> mplayer connection, and I must
suppose the problem is in someway related to the GTK+ VDPAU combination, is
there anyway to get rid of the gtk interface in gnome-mplayer and only exploit
its dbus interconection with gecko-mediaplayer? Or maybe mplayerplug-in is
better for us? Original comment by jacopo.m...@gmail.com on 24 Aug 2011 at 9:25

commented
8 years ago Well since mplayer does not have a dbus interface, you still need gnome-mplayer
to bridge that connection. The current SVN code might fix your problem, but I
still feel that the problem is with the nvidia drivers. As I have vdpau
available on my machine and it works correctly, and others have it working on
their machines. Recommend trying a newer version of mplayer as well.Original comment by kdeko...@gmail.com on 24 Aug 2011 at 3:04

8 years ago Right, I'm trying to control mplayer through a fifo to avoid dbus at all..
I can only confirm that gnome-mplayer works fine on an older ubuntu 10.04, but
I cannot provide more information about nvidia driver version (gnome-mplayer
version is the same)Original comment by jacopo.m...@gmail.com on 25 Aug 2011 at 11:03
