Works fine here nvidia/331.20 @ x86_64

@Gerardo : Are you using vaapi acceleration in smplayer (I had no idea NVIDIA hardware supported vaapi)?
Comment by Gerardo Exequiel Pozzi (djgera) - Tuesday, 24 December 2013, 13:05 GMT
sorry, ignore me. (confused with vdpau)

Have you tried starting mplayer manually?
Comment by Mark E. Lee (bluerider) - Wednesday, 25 December 2013, 13:02 GMT
@Bartlomiej : It works in gnome-mplayer so I think it's specific to smplayer.

Status with 14.3.0-2?

Still not working.

It's probably not an issue with smplayer but mplayer-vaapi.

Please try 'mplayer -vo vaapi <video-file>' to see if you get the same result.

I can use gnome-mplayer with vaapi so I believe it's particular to smplayer.

You can also run this simple command that Bartłomiej and I have requested twice so far.
Comment by Mark E. Lee (bluerider) - Monday, 28 July 2014, 17:49 GMT
command works fine.

Not sure what else to suggest; smplayer + mlpayer-vaapi has always worked fine for me using AMD GPUs (maybe you're using Intel and libva-intel-driver?).

I guess you can review the logs for smplayer and mplayer under "Options" -> "View logs" for possible clues. (Feel free to attach them here too.)

I am using intel drivers; are you using catalyst for AMD GPUS?
Comment by Evangelos Foutras (foutrelis) - Tuesday, 29 July 2014, 05:40 GMT
Yes, catalyst drivers and the xvba-video vaapi backend.

It might be a long shot, but you can also try unchecking "Enable screenshots" in Preferences -> General tab.
