Howto install mencoder-1.0rc1 for Adult Video Script on CentOs
Hi,
UPDATE: this howto is outdated, i will write a new one today (mencoder is not compatible with h264 from RPMforge)!
Follow my previous howto to install the RPMForge release for CentOs 5.x. Once installed run the following command:
yum install libjpeg-devel libpng-devel libungif-devel pkgconfig libdv-devel speex-devel libmad-devel lame-devel xvidcore-devel x264-devel libmpcdec-devel faac-devel
Once the process is finished download the following archives:
wget -c http://www.mplayerhq.hu/MPlayer/releases/MPlayer-1.0rc1.tar.bz2 wget -c http://www.mplayerhq.hu/MPlayer/releases/codecs/all-20071007.tar.bz2
Install the codecs:
tar xjf all-20071007.tar.bz2 mkdir -p /usr/local/lib/codecs cp -a all-20071007/* /usr/local/lib/codecs/ cd ..
Install mencoder and mplayer:
tar xjf MPlayer-1.0rc1.tar.bz2 cd MPlayer-1.0rc1 TMPDIR=/root ./configure --prefix=/usr/local make make install
Once finished mencoder will be installed in /usr/local/bin/mencoder, and mplayer in /usr/local/bin/mplayer. Mencoder is compatible with the latest Adult Video Script conversion line.
Thats it 🙂
Adult Script Mods 
cannot find way to install mencoder and mplayer from the guide gettings this error after I hit the command “make” errors below:
x264.c: In function ‘X264_init’:
x264.c:162: error: ‘x264_param_t’ has no member named ‘b_bframe_adaptive’
x264.c:225: error: ‘struct ‘ has no member named ‘b_bframe_rdo’
x264.c:250: error: ‘struct ‘ has no member named ‘psz_rc_eq’
make[1]: *** [x264.o] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/MPlayer-1.0rc1/libavcodec’
make: *** [libavcodec/libavcodec.a] Error 2
RPMforge is already done, help.
thanks.
Hi,
This happens because the x264 rpm has been upgraded and there is a incompatibility between mencoder-1.0rc1 and x264. I recommend you install a newer version of mencoder (SVN, although its not perfectly compatible with AVS) or disable h264 support in mencoder.
thanks.
I started all over and followed your guide, what i have done is:
1. rpm -Uhv http://apt.sw.be/redhat/el5/en/x86_64/rpmforge/RPMS//rpmforge-release-0.3.6-1.el5.rf.x86_64.rpm
2. yum install libjpeg-devel libpng-devel libungif-devel pkgconfig libdv-devel speex-devel libmad-devel lame-devel xvidcore-devel x264-devel libmpcdec-devel faac-devel
3. download the following archives from above (all-20071007.tar.bz2 and MPlayer-1.0rc1.tar.bz2) in /usr/src/
4. Install the codecs from guide
5. Install mencoder and mplayer: here im stock on “make” command error :
make[1]: *** [x264.o] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/MPlayer-1.0rc1/libavcodec’
make: *** [libavcodec/libavcodec.a] Error 2
pls correct me if m doing wrong,thanks
Hi,
Your not doing anything wrong, i did something wrong, i forgot to check before publishing (something that i’ve used for more than 2 years). Basically the rpmforge
repository has a updated version of x264 which is not compatible with mencoder-1.0rc1. The solution would be to install mencoder from SVN or just install mencoder
from rpmforge via yum.
its working now!!!
but problem with error Video maximum size cannot be bigger then the php values for ‘post_max_size’ or ‘upload_max_filesize’.
Edited php.ini and set to 1000M (htaccess doesnt have the line prior to that)
config.local chmod 777 done, restart apache ,reboot server no luck
and
Siteadmin System Check shows Safe Mode = 0 ,where it suppose to be “passed”
the rest are fine
Hi,
You can also disable h264 in mencoder (–disable-x264), but this means that there will be no support for h264 encoded files 😦
i c, can you give me the right command line to disable that?
and do you have any idea about this post_max_size’ and ‘upload_max_filesize’error from my last post
thanks
Hi,
TMPDIR=/root/sources ./configure –prefix=/usr/local –disable-x264
You need to edit php.ini and modify post_max_size and upload_max_filesize (you also need to restart apache for the modifications to have effect).
thanks.
tried edit php.ini set it to 1000M saved and restarted everything No Luck.
still getting error.
siteadmin system check still detects 2M (max_upload_filesize) 8M (max_post_size)
ps. htaccess do not have lines post and upload filesize
Well, i’ve followed all of these tutorials, but i’m still seeing an issue.
even when i use the -disable-x264 option, i still get errors during make:
x264.o x264.c
x264.c: In function ‘X264_init’:
x264.c:162: error: ‘x264_param_t’ has no member named ‘b_bframe_adaptive’
x264.c:164: error: ‘x264_param_t’ has no member named ‘b_bframe_pyramid’
x264.c:225: error: ‘struct ‘ has no member named ‘b_bframe_rdo’
x264.c:250: error: ‘struct ‘ has no member named ‘psz_rc_eq’
make[1]: *** [x264.o] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/root/MPlayer-1.0rc1/libavcodec’
make: *** [libavcodec/libavcodec.a] Error 2
also seeing error if i try to install it via yum:
mplayer-1.0-0.41.svn20090711.el5.rf.i386 from rpmforge has depsolving problems
–> Missing Dependency: libdirectfb-1.2.so.0 is needed by package mplayer-1.0-0.41.svn20090711.el5.rf.i386 (rpmforge)

You could try using –skip-broken to work around the problem
You could try running: package-cleanup –problems
package-cleanup –dupes
rpm -Va –nofiles –nodigest
if i run package-cleanup –dupes, or package-cleanup –problems no problems are found.
Also seeing another issue here… permissions maybe?
This could be to dodgy permissions in place due to the fact i’m installing on a centos 5.4 based server with plesk panel hosting. The issue is this:
PHP CLI
missing (/usr/bin/php)
MEncoder
missing (/usr/bin/mencoder)
MPlayer
missing (/usr/local/bin/mplayer)
FFMpeg
missing (/usr/bin/ffmpeg)
FLVTool2
missing (/usr/bin/flvtool2)
Formats Error (mplayer or mencoder not installed)!
