Error Opening Initializing Selected Video_out Vo
Sublime2k Member Registered: 2014-03-17 Posts: 43 [Solved] Problem with playback in mpv I just finished a fresh install of Arch on Lenovo N500.When I try to run a .mkv file with mpv, I get this error:Playing: /path/to/video.mkv [stream] Video (+) --vid=1 (h264) [stream] Audio (+) --aid=1 --alang=eng (*) (mp3) [stream] Subs (+) --sid=1 'video.srt' (subrip) (external) [vo/opengl/x11] X11 error: GLXBadFBConfig [vo/opengl] Could not create GL3 context. Retrying with legacy context.Same thing happens when I try to run a .flv file. I haven't tested with other file types.I'm using Intel open source drivers and I have these packages installed:xf86-video-intel mesa-dri lib32-mesa-libgl libva-intel-driver libvaI have no idea what's the problem. Mpv works fine on my main PC (using AMD GPU).Searching didn't come up with anything useful.Thanks in advance for help.

I've installed the essentials codecs too (before I did the make install). Any ideas? Xine is just as bad, I get cryptic "your disk is encrytped" message from that. The disk is clean and in good taste (Annie Hall). Any tips on either would be great. Gotta be able to play DVDs on Linux.?! caulfie
opening/initializing the selected video_out (-vo) deviceNow, I had not chose one. I even deleted my ~/.mplayer folder but nothing, it got stucked there. It's http://thegreyblog.blogspot.com/2009/06/mplayer-error-openinginitializing.html strange, because mplayer should have chosen automatically a video_out device on startup and I swear I never had this problem before on my Debian/testing.In fact, I had just reinstalled http://newbie.mandrivalinux.com.narkive.com/bXKQqO2j/error-opening-initializing-the-selected-video-out-vo-device a Debian/testing distribution on Sun xVM VirtualBox on a Solaris Express Community Edition host, because I'm using it as a platform for video transcoding. I'd like to do that error opening on Solaris but I haven't found the time to recompile at least ffmpeg, if not mplayer and all of its dependencies. Blastwave's ffmpeg, indeed, is way too old and I found some bugs that prevented it doing its job. Until then, and thanks to VirtualBox, I'll use Debian/testing instead.Now, the solution's pretty easy but I'd like to rely on error opening initializing autoprobing...
