SMplayer stopped working and crashes

It worked until it suddenly stopped. Mpv and mplayer make it very confusing for me and I don’t know where to even start troubleshooting this.

The video was choppy, I played with the settings (performance, cores, hardware acceleration, video output driver), reinstalled, SMplayer, mpv and mplayer. But nothing. Now it crashes at start up. VLC work alright.

How do I go about it?

Hi @lee_mdk,

I just tested smplayer and it work :100: so I’m presuming mplayer would as well.

I guess that first step to diagnosing it would be to launch it from the terminal and see if it provides any hint as to why it’s being naughty:

smplayer

Just open a terminal emulator window and run that. See if it provides you with any hints as to why it’s misbehaving. Feel free to p rovide the output here.

Edit:

:bangbang: Tip: :bangbang:

When posting terminal output, copy the output and paste it here, wrapped in three (3) backticks, before AND after the pasted text. Like this:

```
pasted text
```

Or three (3) tilde signs, like this:

~~~
pasted text
~~~

This will just cause it to be rendered like this:

Sed
sollicitudin dolor
eget nisl elit id
condimentum
arcu erat varius
cursus sem quis eros.

Instead of like this:

Sed sollicitudin dolor eget nisl elit id condimentum arcu erat varius cursus sem quis eros.

Alternatively, paste the text you wish to format as terminal output, select all pasted text, and click the </> button on the taskbar. This will indent the whole pasted section with one TAB, causing it to render the same way as described above.

Thereby increasing legibility thus making it easier for those trying to provide assistance.

For more information, please see:


:bangbang::bangbang: Additionally

If your language isn’t English, please prepend any and all terminal commands with LC_ALL=C. For example:

LC_ALL=C bluetoothctl

This will just cause the terminal output to be in English, making it easier to understand and debug.

Thank you for replying!

[lee@leenux ~]$ smplayer
This is SMPlayer v. 22.7.0 (revision 10091) running on Linux

Nothing out of the ordinary.

When I choose mpv as multimedia engine, it takes about 30 seconds to start up.
If I choose mplayer as multimedia engine, it opens instantly.

I tried to play a video, and got this error in SMplayer:

I'm an idiot, I didn't mean this

This :point_down:

I actually meant this :point_down:

Makes me suspect it has something to do with all the GPU codecs and stuff that’s been going on lately. I’m also, because of that, certain I can’t help, reallly.

So with that in mind, I salute you :saluting_face: and thanks for all the fish.

This might shed some light somewhere:

https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Hardware_video_acceleration

Thank you very much!

I managed to get it running (I don’t know exactly what worked, I tried tones of stuff).

However, one problem persists, SMplayer takes about 30 seconds to startup.
If I run it with sudo it starts immediately.

Any idea why?

I got this SMPlayer log that shows where the delay for the startup is. Is it related to audio? Before it started I was messing around with remove pipewire to use pulseaudio.
