Hi, I've had mplayer installed on my kindle for a few days. It's great, thanks, but there does seem to be a problem.
After it's been running for a while it stops playing and nothing short of a kindle restart can get it going again. I try stop (^MS) then start (^MA) and various other combinations. Nothing. At first i thought it might coincide witht he kindle going to sleep/screensaver mode but it doesn't, it happens 5-10 minutes after this. My friend who installed this on her kindle on the same day has exactly the same problem. We both have version 3.3 of the firmware. Anyone know what's happening and how to fix it? I also have a feature request. It's good to have random mode (the main reason i installed it) but it would be to be able to turn it off again. I often put my whole playlist on random but suddenly a particular song pops up ad i decide i want to play the rest of the album that song is on ie. go from random to continuous mode. I'm fairly sure you can do this with mplayer and if i was a bit less useless i could possibly implement this myself... Anyway, thanks again |

Mplayer is great, thank you. Apart from manually creating a playlist and using that, is there a way I can pick the exact song, (or even album folder) I want to play please?

is 3G just a non starter? it'd be so cool to be able to stream net radio away from wifi hot spots, eg, the beach.

I am trying to cross compile a newer mplayer and it is successful, but I can't figure out why it uses so much cpu (which drains the battery).
I am using these compile instructions: http://gitorious.org/kindlebrew/mpla...aster/build.sh export CFLAGS="-O4 -I$ALSAPREFIX/include/ -march=armv6j -mtune=arm1136jf-s -U_FORTIFY_SOURCE" mplayer -v ... Configuration: --enable-cross-compile --enable-armv6 --target=arm-linux --host-cc=gcc --cc=arm-none-linux-gnueabi-gcc --as=arm-none-linux-gnueabi-as --nm=arm-none-linux-gnueabi-nm --ranlib=arm-none-linux-gnueabi-ranlib --disable-mencoder --disable-libdvdcss-internal --disable-dvdread-internal --disable-tv --disable-tga --disable-dvb --disable-v4l2 --disable-yuv4mpeg --disable-directfb --disable-fbdev --disable-ossaudio --disable-vcd But this one made by fbdev: https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sho...d.php?t=147854 mplayer -v ... Configuration: --prefix=/tmp/mp --disable-mencoder --disable-directfb --disable-fbdev --disable-ossaudio uses 10% cpu, much less. I suppose it isn't cross compiled. How can I properly cross compile it to do the same? I've tried different -O values in the CFLAGS but that only makes the cpu use worse. Is it alsa? Something else? I'm using k3 keyboard.

What libasound did you use?
The one on the Kindle ? What you describe is a difference in the source code, not build differences. Did you try the mplayer kindle binary from this site ? Does it run as desired ? Can you rebuild it and have it run the same as the binary ? (tests your entire setup and direction following ability.) Once past those steps - then try to change things (like a different source). When you write: "following these directions . . ." and post a link to a script file - Do you mean you are running the script file ? Or do you mean you are reading it as a list of directions ?

Which binary from this site? This one? MPlayer 1.0rc4-4.4.5 (C) 2000-2010 MPlayer Team https://www.mobileread.com/forums/att...7&d=1297101459 On page 7 of this thread other people also describe the higher CPU usage of this binary compared to the fbdev one. I would like to know how I can compile it like fbdev, he did not mention any source changes. His binary: MPlayer 1.0rc4-4.2.1 (C) 2000-2010 MPlayer Team https://www.mobileread.com/forums/att...4&d=1318198574 Using -O2 instead of -O4 uses 40% cpu instead of 30% cpu. I just watch it in top for a minute. fbdev's uses 10%. I use MPlayer-1.0rc4 source, same as other two until I can figure out the magic of the low cpu use. MPlayer 1.0rc4-4.2.1 (C) 2000-2010 MPlayer Team My binary ends up with the same CPU use as the binary in this thread. But that is 3x as high as the fbdev one. All use the libasound on the kindle as far as I know. Mine was compiled against 1.0.13 just like the build.sh suggests. I read it as a list of instructions.

Also, as baf illustrates, use readelf on the fbdev build to find other options that may have been used. |

I wasn't able to compile with --enable-thumb (some register error), but adding --enable-armvfp was fine. My readelf tag output now exactly matches the fbdev binary and cpu use is the same lower number with Mplayer v1.1.1. The build.sh script could be updated to use softfp: export CFLAGS="-O4 -I$ALSAPREFIX/include/ -march=armv6j -mtune=arm1136jf-s -mfloat-abi=softfp -mcpu=arm1136j-s -U_FORTIFY_SOURCE" Last edited by kaito; 05-11-2013 at 02:57 PM.
