SMPlayer Support Forum

Hey guys,
Hopefully I'm not asking a repeat question. I did search for it but found which honestly wasn't helpful to me, as I got to and didn't know what to do.

Anyways, I've got SMPlayer because VLC wasn't working well for me at all to play the anime I have. During parts with very little action (nothing but lips moving) it played smoothly, but when bright flashes happened or when people moved quickly, the video would be discolored and/or covered in large splotchy pixels. When I switched to SMPlayer, this went away, but I still have choppy, skippy video that sometimes sticks on frames. I've set my video caches to 5,000 each (except for DVD, I don't even have a dvd drive on my eeepc.) and it still does it. Does anyone have any suggestions of what I should do?

Holy crap! Sorry for the bother, I fixed my problem by disabling frame drop, it had some synch issues, so I enabled synchronization at a factor of one hundred and it works perfectly. Thanks anyways guys!

Well, mostly perfectly. It still has a couple framestick issues. Any advice would still be appreciated heavily ^^

Okay, please help. I've had that sticking issue ever since. I fixed a few of my own problems, but this one persists. Please, advice.

Could you copy the mplayer log?

With H.264 videos is useful to disable the "loop filter", although I see you already did that.

Maybe it could be useful to scale down a little bit the image, for instance with the filter scale=1024:-2

I see you're trying to use 5 threads for decoding. Using multiple threads can increase a lot the performance, but you need to use a mplayer with multi-thread support, and I think the one you're using doesn't have it. And of course your processor have to have multiple cores.

In that case install this package and select a mplayer build for multi core processors:
