I downloaded the SUNWmlib 2.2 packages, and installed the sparcv8plus+vis
library and headers in the proper places (and done a symbolic link from
libmlib.so to libmlib.so.2).
I can't compile mplayer with mlib support, I tried with both
mplayer-1.0pre1 and pre2. Sometimes mplayer crashes, sometimes I can't
even start it (when I try to execute it or simply when I try a 'ldd
mplayer', I get: "Inconsistency detected by ld.so: dynamic-link.h: 62:
elf_get_dynamic_info: Assertion `! "bad dynamic tag"' failed!"). When this
happens, the linker told me just before that libmlib.so depends on
libc.so.1 and libm.so.1, which don't exist on my system. I tried making
symbolic links to libc.so.6 and libm.so.6, with no luck.
I use CFLAGS="-O4 -mcpu=v9 -mtune=ultrasparc -ffast-math
-fomit-frame-pointer -pipe", and without mlib, I can get a decent speed
(I still must drop frames, though).
Antonello, I also have weird colors on my Creator3D card when playing DIVX
movies. Here's what I do to solve this:
- if you run gmplayer, run it with an additional: "-vf rgb2bgr=swap"
- if you run mplayer, run it with the same line as above, but also
decrease the contrast manually (key 1, not the one from the keypad); I
can't change it by a command line
That works for me, and drops a little more frames.
I use the x11 video output driver, not sdl (which is slower for me).
