SMPlayer Support Forum

This is exactly what I met, even the graphics card is the same...

@ rvm & redxii

Have you considered including the above proposed patch in upstream vanilla source code?

You may find it ready to download here:

i have same problem, when i play a video(some 1080p) using command:
mplayer -vo vdpau -vc ffodivxvdpau,ffh264vdpau,ffmpeg12vdpau,ffwmv3vdpau ,ffvc1vdpau moviename
it runs smoothly and everything seems fine, but when i open the same movie in smplayer (it is using vdpau also) the video lags alot, after few secs it stop updating its screen..
i see that the smplayer tries to run mplayer like this:

/usr/bin/mplayer -noquiet -v -nofs -nomouseinput -vc ffh264vdpau,ffmpeg12vdpau,ffwmv3vdpau,ffvc1vdpau, -sub-fuzziness 1 -identify -slave -vo vdpau -ao pulse -nokeepaspect -framedrop -nodr -nodouble -input nodefault-bindings:conf=/dev/null -stop-xscreensaver -wid 190841193 -monitorpixelaspect 1 -ass -embeddedfonts -ass-line-spacing 0 -ass-font-scale 1 -ass-styles /home/mizlre/.config/smplayer/styles.ass -fontconfig -font Arial -subfont-autoscale 0 -subfont-osd-scale 20 -subfont-text-scale 20 -subcp enca:pl:UTF-16 -subpos 100 -volume 100 -nocache -osdlevel 0 -noslices -channels 2 -af volnorm=1,scaletempo,equalizer=0:0:0:0:0:0:0:0:0:0 -softvol -softvol-max 110 moviename

the smplayer's way is missing one vdpau codec -> ffodivxvdpau

theres must be smth done to solve it for good so it will work for anyone...

Here is the proposed patch, just revised (different line numbers) for svn 3599.

And here is the exact same patch, but with relevant GUI elements added as well.

Tested it, and it works fine.

And a screenshot of the new GUI element.

The final solution is call DecoderQueryCapabilities in libvdpau, it will tell you the capabilities of the nvidia cards.

bool queryDecoderCapsDivx(VDPDeviceImpl *device)
{
VdpStatus rv;
VdpBool is_supported = false;
uint32_t max_level, max_macroblocks, max_width, max_height;

rv = device->DecoderQueryCapabilities(device->device, VDP_DECODER_PROFILE_MPEG4_PART2_SP,
&is_supported, &max_level, &max_macroblocks, &max_width, &max_height);

return(is_supported)
}
