UPDATE: I can use multiple instances of mplayer to play just audio files
(mp3s) using jack - that's fine, works great. it's the mpgs that I'm
supposed to play that have trouble
hi all
I'm sitting here with mplayer trying to get it to play nice with jack -
but
it's not - I'm playing an mpg
what's happening is I'm getting the error message "too many video packets
in
the buffer" when I'm running jack
if I'm using gmplayer, what will happen is the audio will play with black
video for a few seconds, then that error message will pop up, the video
will
come in, and the audio will drop
if i'm using mplayer from the command line, it's a little different, it
plays black and gives the error message in the xterm window and then the
video really struggles and hangs
i've been reading mplayer-user archives (not actually on the list) and I
see
this described exactly the same way in reference to
playing dvds a lot,
but
none of the solutions I've found suggested does
anything
my other option is to get multiple instances of mplayer outputting to the
different channels (and different monitors on a multiple vga card system)
without using jack...i haven't had much luck yet with that because I
don't
quite understand how you'd do that...
uhm... vitals:
gentoo 2.4.26.gentoo-r9
jack .99.0.r1
alsa 1.08.rc1
mplayer 1.0-pre5-r5
333mhz pc
512m ram
delta 1010 audio card
onboard audio disabled
thanks for any input!
