Mplayer + Oz 3.5.4.1 On Spitz?, Couldn't get it to work Options

[Stilgar]

I've encoded a movie to a 320x240 , mp3 encoding. I've tried playing it with mplayer on a C3000 machine. However, it uses libsdl which is not functioning too well on this machine.
The -vo fbdev option makes mplayer play this movie in a smaller scale. I found a thread (http://www.oesf.org/forums/index.php?showtopic=20473) explaining how to fix it up for fbdev playing on a C860. However, the problem is that I cannot control mplayer - no stopping, skipping forward or backward. Makes it not really usable even if I manage to view it correctly full screen.

The error spit out from SDL (inside mplayer) is something in the lines of:
Can't detect machine defaulting to SL5000D detected machine is 'Sharp SL-5000D'

Any suggestions? How to make SDL work correctly with this? Or on a different direction - how to encode movies for playing with the built in opie player?

I'm not sure if this will help but if you are using the script from that thread try changing:

CODE

fbset -n -xres 200 -yres 320;

to

CODE

fbset -n -xres 320 -yres 240;

and

CODE

mplayer -flip -vf mirror -ac mad -ao oss -framedrop -really-quiet $@;

to

CODE

mplayer -flip -vf mirror,expand=320:240,crop=320:240 -framedrop -really-quiet $@;

When I use fbdev I can't control mplayer too, I use the default vo (I guess its SDL).

YoG.

I've narrowed down the problem - I am trying to use the built-in OpiePlayer2. However, I am unable to encode movies for it - movies which play with mplayer would not play with opieplayer - I would get the sound only.
Futher description of the problem can be found at openzaurus-users mailing list (Mail title: Encoding movies for opie-mediaplayer2 running on a spitz").
I would just like to know if someone managed to encode & watch movies with opieplayer2.
