GeeXboX

GeexBox installed on HDD, dual booting with Xubuntu 8.10

BBC iPlayer 720p mp4 file downloaded using get_iplayer, let's call it dott.mp4

Xubuntu will play back this file with audio delay by running in a terminal:



If I pass the following options to mplayer playback is just fine, so I know the PC is up to playing the file.



GeexBox on the other hand will just play the audio and show the BBC logo in the corner of the screen, no video. If I fast forward a bit I will get a frame/still on screen with audio.

How can I pass the options above in GeexBox?

I tried creating a profile for mp4 files, but this prevented GeexBox from loading up properly.



Thanks

afaik, in profiles you should use = sign in options

What happens when you try mplayer commands from telnet prompt?
1st, get rid of running mplayer:

Now you can start mplayer, having txt output in telnet console

Thanks DualIP (I should have known this!)

After a bit of too-ing and fro-ing



Note, apart from the "=" signs, that fast needed to equal 1 in the lavdopts chain.

And it works, very slight stuttering but watchable. I'll keep tweaking!
