Hello,

I hope, someone can help me...

I installed nvidia 96.43.16 driver with sgfxi script for an old GeForce Ti4200 card,
after this mplayer doesn't start.

mplayer: error while loading shared libraries: libvdpau.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

This issue didn't occure before, with antiX 8.2

TIA, benji

Hello benji, I'm not actively using MPlayer to answer you directly even though I have an NVIDIA driver too. But generally speaking, you have GNOME MPlayer and Gxine in antiX as well to play videos. Also you may use MPlayer from the command line or you can try to launch it from the terminal to see the exact error messages.
If I have some extra help I'll post.
Look here too:

I think the problem there, if I read well, was with mplayer package from debian-multimedia.org. Then you maybe would have to apt-get purge mplayer, comment the debian-multimedia line in /etc/apt/sources.list and install mplayer (it will then pull Debian's default version). But please check it for yourself because I didin't read it thoroughly.

Regards.

Thanks,

this was the error message:
mplayer: error while loading shared libraries: libvdpau.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

I reinstalled the default mplayer, now it says:
mplayer: relocation error: mplayer: symbol codec_wav_tags, version LIBAVFORMAT_52 not defined in file libavformat.so.52 with link time reference

Gxine and gnome-mplayer works, but I like mplayer more, will try to compile it from source...

benji, look again

(second post)
You may have to uninstall other stuff that were installed from debian-multimedia.org. In that thread the guy uninstalled ffmpeg and when reinstalled it downgraded al those packages (libavformat included). Maybe you should uninstall them all and reinstall the Debian's versions.

That would mean commenting out (temporarily) the multimedia repo.

Managed to fix it.

If someone need it, here is my solution (in n00b language, because I'm that too __{{emoticon}}__ ):

apt-get purge mplayer

, unpack and install (cd into the directory | ./configure | make | make install)
apt-get install xorg-dev

without these the --enable-gui prefix won't work

Glad you got it to work.

A mystery is why it suddenly stopped working when you installed nvidia drivers. On my box, it runs ok.

Sorry guys, I haven't seen your feedbacks, that downgrading seems simplier and more elegant.
Maybe at next reinstall... I see the future in wich I will screw my system anyway. __{{emoticon}}__

You got the latest one and it looked simple from your post, cool.
