Hello.
Smpeg library not works good on Voodoo3. Sound strange? But it’s true!
Looks like smpeg uses something from XFree86 which is buggy in tdfx
driver.
Do you know what is used in smpeg normal playback which is not used in
smpeg double playback (gtv double button, or plaympeg --double argument) ?
Maybe it’s Xvideo fault? How to turn it off completly?
It’s not smpeg versions fault or SDL fault - I tried many. Also I tried
few XFree86 CVS versions… Of course it works good on XFree86-3.3.6.
Mpeg-1 playback on player which not uses smpeg works good, too.
And how it looks like? When I start gtv, load mpeg, and play it - I see
black window, with few pixels in left up corner. After few seconds there
is segmentation fault. But, if I load mpeg, then push “double” button,
and play it - everything is OK.
Kernel: 2.2.17 (tested on 2.2.16), SDL-1.1.6 (tested on 5, and on 4…),
SMPEG - latest CVS (tested on 0.4.1, and 0.4.0), XFree86 - many CVS,
with tdfx driver
PS. is there any smpeg mailing list?–

I have the same problem since I tried SDL 1.1.5, so I must stay
with SDL 1.1.4. It seems like something changed that makes smpeg
incompatible with XFree86-4 and the voodoo driver.
Is there any core SDL developer that uses a Voodoo? I guess not…
The SDL and Loki software suite is very important for multimedia
under in Linux, and many Linux users have voodoo cards.

are you sure you mean 1.1.4? current SDL is 1.1.6, and I tried at least
3 versions…

I think it’s XFree86 fault, not SDL, but some developer should tell us
what is used here, so we can tell it to XFree86 developers :)On Sat, Nov 11, 2000 at 10:46:41AM -0500, Marc Lavall?e wrote:

I’m using the libraries that comes with the latest Linux Mandrake (7.2).
Although the SDL package version is 1.1.4, the actual shared library
is named “/usr/lib/libSDL-1.1.so.0.3.1”, so I’m not sure. But I
remembered I compiled my own SDL 1.1.4, and smpeg was working.

Yes, it might be a problem with the XFree86-4 Voodoo driver.
Any opinions from the specialists? (Sam?)
If that doesn’t work, try unexporting the environment variable to
prevent hardware acceleration.
I tried SDL_VIDEO_X11_NODIRECTCOLOR=1, then =0 (default there is no such
variable) - nothing changes
Make sure that you are using the correct version of SDL for the correct
version of SMPEG. SMPEG 0.4.1 needs SDL 1.1.5 or newer to work properly.
I will try to install SDL-1.1.4, then 1.1.3 then…On Sat, Nov 11, 2000 at 01:36:08PM -0800, Sam Lantinga wrote:

you are right - I just compiled SDL-1.1.4 and smpeg-0.4.0 - works OK
so problems started in SDL-1.1.5On Sat, Nov 11, 2000 at 04:44:23PM -0500, Marc Lavall?e wrote:
