ffplay (part of ffmpeg) doesn't work with MX23

#1 Post by thomasl »

I've installed ffmpeg via MXPI. ffmpeg and ffprobe work as expected but ffplay has a problem:

Could not initialize SDL - No available video device
(Did you set the DISPLAY variable?)

So at first I played around with $DISPLAY but no joy. Then I've googled and tried a couple of remedies, no success either. One of the things I tried was setting SDL_VIDEODRIVER to x11... this produced

Could not initialize SDL - X11 not available
Another proggy that I've installed (scrcpy) terminates with the same error message. OTOH QMPlay2, mpv and shotcut all work so this is not a massive problem but something seems amiss.

Possible the way the video was encoded? I'm able play mkv files.

This is my Fluxbox . There are many others like it, but this one is mine. My Fluxbox is my best friend. It is my life.
I must master it as I must master my life. Without me, my Fluxbox is useless. Without my Fluxbox, I am useless.

I think it's got nothing to do with the .mkv format as .mp4 or .webm videos produce the same error message. It seems that SDL just has no access to video device.

I finally found the problem... I had two copies of the libSDL2* libraries installed and ffplay loaded the wrong one (ie not the MX23 version). If I rename the offending files, it works. The problem is of course that the other app now can't find its version :p which may or may not be a problem (so far it's fine). Perhaps I will have to resort to using LD_LIBRARY_PATH.

Anyway, solved.

EDIT: Had the same problem with scrcpy... this now also works./EDIT
