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 http://thegreyblog.blogspot.com/2009/06/mplayer-error-openinginitializing.html and 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 error opening 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 autoprobing...

Amazing experience! I wish I could use it on Solaris as well. Posted by Enrico Maria Crisostomo at 6/16/2009 06:54:00 PM Reactions: Email ThisBlogThis!Share to TwitterShare to FacebookShare to Pint
