Best you heed Jool's last post...Joggler Obi Wan extraordinaire
Indeed. All hail Jools, he who puts things I'm not entirely clear on in to Ubuntu builds and makes our Jogglers useful.
My problems with kodi are 1] It has pretty much no command line options. 2] No apparent way to make it start up, play video, exit when video ends, 3] It takes so, very, long to actually play a video. I just timed it launching to play a 1280x720 video and it took 11 seconds from my hitting Enter to the video actually starting to play. mplayer took 1.5 seconds. mplayer, yes mplayer, for I have a working mplayer binary that uses vaapi.
I decided to try rebuilding Jool's mplayer-vaapi package for 14.04. It was quite an adventure because I've never built a deb package before. Also I decided to do the build on the Joggler. Partly because it seemed easier than creating another Xubuntu build in a VM to use, and partly just to see how long it would take. As I mentioned, there was insufficient space in / to install all the requried build depdendencies. There was plenty of empty space on the flash drive I'm using though, so I deleted the / partition with fdisk and recreated it bigger, then resized the filesystem. Then I installed all the build dependencies. Then I throttled the CPU out of fear that running it at 1.3Ghz for long enough to compile something, combined with the not entirely adequate CPU cooling capabilities of the Joggler, may melt it. In a sudo shell:
Code: Select all
$ echo powersave |tee /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu*/cpufreq/scaling_governor
And here's what I did to try and build the .deb. I say try, because I failed twice then gave up. But maybe someone else wants to try and this will save them a bit of time.
I figured out I needed to download mplayer-vaapi_1.0~rc5.git20111027.orig.tar.gz mplayer-vaapi_1.0~rc5.git20111027-1ubuntu1~lucid~ppa2.dsc mplayer-vaapi_1.0~rc5.git20111027-1ubuntu1~lucid~ppa2.debian.tar.gz from
https://launchpad.net/~jools/+archive/u ... /+packages I stuck them all in a directory by themselves, then
Code: Select all
$ dpkg-source -x mplayer-vaapi_1.0~rc5.git20111027-1ubuntu1~lucid~ppa2.dsc
$ cd mplayer-vaapi-1.0~rc5.git20111027/
$ time dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot -b
After about 11 minutes the build process bombed. With an error relating to liblivemedia. (
http://mplayerhq.hu/pipermail/mplayer-u ... 86407.html) I don't care about RTSP streaming so rather than try the patch mentioned in that email thread I editted the control file to remove the reference to liblivemedia. The next build attempt ran for 51 minutes before exiting with an error about mencoder. I couldn't figure out what was wrong, but I did figure out I do not care about mencoder, so I edited the rules file to add --disable-mencoder to the list of configure options. The next build attempt failed in the same way though, so evidently more is required that I did to disable mencoder in the build.
At this point I decided I didn't really care about having a .deb package. So I decided to just try building mplayer.
Code: Select all
$ time ./configure --prefix=/home/joggler/mplayer-vaapi --confdir=/home/joggler/etc/mplayer --enable-xvmc --enable-vaapi --disable-arts --disable-mencoder
It took 42 minutes.
I now have an mplayer binary that will play
http://download.blender.org/peach/bigbu ... p_h264.mov fullscreen using no more than 15% CPU. Which is something glorious to behold.
Code: Select all
joggler@joggler:~$ mplayer-vaapi/bin/mplayer -fs -vo vaapi big_buck_bunny_1080p_h264.mov
If I specify -nosound it uses less than 10% CPU. I know it's not the latest and greatest version of mplayer, but it seems to work more than adequately for my purposes and I'm really rather pleased with it.

Great news MDC!

Please check MTRR settings at /proc/mtrr (see DOCS/HTML/en/video.html#mtrr)
Check config.log if you wonder why an autodetection failed (make sure
development headers/packages are installed).
NOTE: The --enable-* parameters unconditionally force options on, completely
skipping autodetection. This behavior is unlike what you may be used to from
autoconf-based configure scripts that can decide to override you. This greater
level of control comes at a price. You may have to provide the correct compiler
and linker flags yourself.
If you used one of these options (except --enable-menu and similar ones that
turn on internal features) and experience a compilation or linking failure,
make sure you have passed the necessary compiler/linker flags to configure.
If you suspect a bug, please read DOCS/HTML/en/bugreports.html.

Looking back at my post I realise that I show the configure command and then say it took 42 minutes. Which is nonsense. The 42 minutes it how long it took to do the actual build. i.e. this
Code: Select all
$ ./configure --prefix=/home/joggler/mplayer-vaapi --confdir=/home/joggler/etc/mplayer --enable-xvmc --enable-vaapi --disable-arts --disable-mencoder
$ time make -j 2
If you don't throttle the CPU to 800Mhz you'll probably find it takes less than 42 minutes.

OK went downstairs to being in front of the Joggler.
testing this line:
joggler@joggler:~$ mplayer-vaapi/bin/mplayer -fs -vo vaapi big_buck_bunny_1080p_h264.mov
Ahh...
Where is the directory mplayer-vaapi/bin at? I cannot find it under the mplayer-vaapi* directory.
I see now where I messed up. Did everything in root and it should have been done using Joggler.
Not an issue, will do it again.

Did you run "make install"? I know I didn't mentioned the need to do that. I've been posting sort of half arsed instructions without bothering to think about what I'm doing or whether people will be able to fill in the missing bits.
There's three steps to building something, configure, building it, then installing it to wherever you specified

Well building stuff from source can be a painful cycle of "try to build, oh something needs to be installed, try to build, oh something needs to be installed, repeat N times". It's my experience that sometimes the configure script will display clear error messages until such time as you run it will all the dependencies required to get a working build are installed. I like those experiences. It's much nicer when configure tells you there's something wrong than waiting for make to. It's also my experience that sometimes the configure script will not display any warnings, so I invoke make then look back at it later and find it's quit with an error because there's a missing dependency.
Here's a way to get all the required dependencies for Jool's mplayer-vappi installed in one go
Code: Select all
$ cd /path/to/directory/with/the/control/file/in/
$ sudo apt-get install $(sed -n '/Build-Depends/ ,/^$/p' control | grep -v "Build-Depends" | tr ',' ' ' | tr ' ' '\n' | grep ^[a-z] | grep -v livemedia |tr '\n' ' ' )
It's a ridiculous command that relies on there being an empty line after the list of packages. There's surely a better way. I know there is a better way if you have installed the source for a .deb from an src-deb repo, but Jool's mlayer-vappi is for an older version of Xubuntu so doesn't who up in the repos for 14.04.

I will not give up until it is working.
That said today has been a "princess" day from the early morning. None stop. Just fixed one little issue with her auto mobile; which really wasn't much of a big deal until I spent the time to look. None of this stuff though relates to computers and it will consume my day.

I think it is running SqueezePlayer only. That said you can install it if you wanted to. The default Squeezeplayer OS does include this option.

Seems unlikely, given that -fo is not a valid option and /home/joggler/test.mov is not a valid argument for -vo

That wouldn't have used hardware decoding though.

Next steps......how to I default to this version of mplayer?
Just copy all of the files to the root?
You copy the mplayer binary to a directory which is in $PATH
Code: Select all
joggler@joggler:~$ echo $PATH
/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games:/usr/local/games
joggler@joggler:~$
Usual convention is to put your own stuff in to /usr/local/bin. If you look in /usr/local/bin you'll see that there's only two things in there. They're there because Jools put them there.

If you only ever want to use mplayer as the joggler user, you could put it in the joggler user's ~/bin directory which will be included in $PATH if it exists.
Code: Select all
joggler@joggler:~$ echo $PATH
/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games:/usr/local/games
joggler@joggler:~$ ls bin
ls: cannot access bin: No such file or directory
joggler@joggler:~$ mkdir bin
joggler@joggler:~$ exit
logout

Thank you MDC.
Seems unlikely, given that -fo is not a valid option and /home/joggler/test.mov is not a valid argument for -vo
Yeah what I was doing was typing on the Joggler and just copying what I typed on another computer logged in to the forum.
Testing on the Joggler now and while in a firefox session. I was reading with my left eye and typing here with my right eye such that I fat fingered what I posted.

You copy the mplayer binary to a directory which is in $PATH
Thank-you.
Here looking to call mplayer from a mono touchscreen interface. I can define scripts to run in Linux via the push buttons.
I am also streaming live television using MythTV. Works a bit better than KODI right now.
Curious what you are using mplayer for?

Is there any chance on getting the ubuntu netbook remix interface on the joggler
if so how.

Andrew , I think its called the Unity desktop now , I have tried but failed to get it working before .
There was an ancient version of netbook remix on a stand alone website but that will be too old now I think .

It would be best if we could get this working on Buzz's build here
