Ah, Well the title says it all really.
I have tried playing the QNX.mpg file (and others) supplied on the
RTP CD and it immediately exits reporting reporting “plugin terminated unexpectedly”. Any ideas?
cheers,
Russ.
How much RAM do you have in your system?
If your systems RAM is close to full and you try to
play /usr/share/video/QNX.mpg with the MediaPlayer
this will most often be
the end result: “plugin terminated unexpectedly”
The QNX.mpg is a very large file and does require more
RAM to run then smaller videos that are in lower resolution.
“pidin in” will let you see how much free ram you have.
“pidin mem” will show what is using how much memory
Also if your audio driver is not functioning correctly you could
have the problem you mentioned. Ie.if you have a 16 bit isa Sound
blaster card. Can you play audio files using the MediaPlayer?
Hope this Helps

Start phplay at the command line and post the debug printf info that
comes out on the console. Have you tried to play a video
only mpeg vice the audio/video one. If you can’t play video
then it is likely a video card issue. What video card do you
have and with how much video ram.

greetings,
firstly I have 40MB free out of 64. I have a Matrox Millenium video
card (by the way, the driver has a bug in it. selecting 1600x1200
results in a garbled display). I have tried running mediaplayer in lower resolutions using both the matrox and vesa drivers with the same result.
running mediaplayer from pterm shows:
Loaded DLL 0x0808ad38 ‘mpegsystem.so’
MvInit() succeeded
Create channel failed :No such device or address trying DirectContext
Found a 1024x768 Screen
Found a 8 bit screen (1 bpp)
I have a creative vibrator 128 sound card (PCI -v: Ensoniq
ES1371 AudioPCI)
wave samples are played quite happily.
There might be something odd about my motherboard/bios. pci -v detects
all my hardhare correctly, crttrap identifys my video card & nettrap identifys my network card. However after booting, no hardware is configured - io-net not started, only vesa video driver is initialised, deva-audiopci not started, spooler not started (bjc610 connected to /par and on.) and my mouse is almost unusable until I beef up its priority 2 levels.
Any ideas??
Cheers
Russ.

The media player problem should be fixed with an updated graphics driver
in a patch soon. I have not been able to reproduce the 1600x1200 problem,
but will try again on some other cards.
