Error Opening Initializing The Selected Video Out Ubuntu
of Arch on Lenovo N500.When I try to run a error opening initializing the selected video_out vo device .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.

For those who do not know, aalib is the library for rendering videos in ASCII. Before upgrading to 14.04 it worked perfectly (I don't remember setting-up something, it had been working "out of the box"). Here is what it does: $ mplayer -vo aa * MPlayer2 2.0-701-gd4c5b7f-2ubuntu2 (C) 2000-2012 MPlayer Team Cannot open file '/home/crysman/.mplayer/input.conf': No such file or directory Failed to open /home/crysman/.mplayer/input.conf.

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 strange, because mplayer should have chosen automatically a video_out device on startup and http://thegreyblog.blogspot.com/2009/06/mplayer-error-openinginitializing.html I swear I never had this problem before on my Debian/testing.In fact, I had just reinstalled 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 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 error opening 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 autoprobing...

It will be remembered the next time you launch mplayer.In my case I'm using VirtualBox 3D Acceleration so I chose gl:mplayer -vo gl [my-movie]By the way: KDE 4.2 just got its way into Debian/testing, but I'll tell you another day. Amazing experience! I wish I could use it on Solaris as well.
