Can Anyone Porting "tcpmp"?, tcpmp Options

[Jon_J]

Same problem as before, plays in ½ screen, rotated sideways.
I have to restart Qtopia after closing movie for same reasons in my last post.

Possible reasons, problems, workarounds:
- Most common: broken/buggy _audio_ driver
 - Try -ao sdl or use the OSS emulation of ALSA.
 - Experiment with different values for -autosync, 30 is a good start.
- Slow video output
 - Try a different -vo driver (-vo help for a list) or try -framedrop!
- Slow CPU
 - Don't try to play a big DVD/DivX on a slow CPU! Try -hardframedrop.
- Broken file
 - Try various combinations of -nobps -ni -forceidx -mc 0.
- Slow media (NFS/SMB mounts, DVD, VCD etc)
 - Try -cache 8192.
- Are you using -cache to play a non-interleaved AVI file?
 - Try -nocache.

I'm going to try to play this movie on my Palm Zire 72, using TCPMP 0.70
EDIT:
It plays better on my Palm, and it only has this for memory.
Storage heap 11020KB
Dynamic heap 1988KB

My question is, why can my measly Palm play this and the robust Zaurus has problems??
On the Palm Zire 72 box:
32MB (24 storage capacity)
320x320 TFT display
312MHz ARM Intel processor
OS PalmOS 5.2

OK, let's do the last try. Please try adding '-nosound' option (for benchmarking video only) and also specify some small video fragment to watch using '-ss' or '-endpos' options (don't know if -endpos is supported in older versions of mplayer such as yours) so that mplayer plays it and terminates on its own without you interrupting it (and so that it will be able to display some statistics in the end).

So please run:
# mplayer -benchmark -nosound -ss <length_of_your_video_in_seconds-100> yourfile.avi

And wait until it finishes. Using this -ss option, it will play only the last 100 seconds of the videofile, so you will not have to wait long.

older version of mplayer? where is the latest version?
I'll try your suggestion, brb

[Jon_J]

Does the '#' mean I need to be root?
It plays sound, but still in ½ screen rotated sideways, and sound is so far out of sync, that I'm not sure where it's supposed to be coming from.
EDIT:
Looking at package manager, I have mplayer-bvdd-iwmmxt 1.1.5-1
I got this from Maslovsky's cacko feed

It's because your MPlayer seems to be broken (or misconfigured for your OS). At least your logs show that the video output is not working right. We could check if your zaurus also has any problems with decoding this video if you provided benchmark report, but seems like it is not that important for you (as it will not magically fix video playback).

The latest version is 1.0rc1, the sources are available at http://www.mplayerhq.hu/

Anyway, I have created a new thread here, hopefully some zaurus developers can join and MPlayer still may have a hope

I did use the -benchmark switch and I'm not sure what to look for.
Look at post #16

The last time when you asked me to use
mplayer -benchmark -nosound -ss <length_of_your_video_in_seconds-100> yourfile.avi

I did exactly as you said and the results were as I mentioned in post #20
