Using
Installing X and going
mpv
trying to stream youtube and m3u8 playlists. I'm not sure how it's supposed to work exactly, but last time I tried it in opensuse it worked nicely right out of the box (sorry for the Linux reference). No X installed, just ran it with --vo=drm
. That won't cut it in freebsd, though, and I don't know why. Here's the output:
Code:
[vo/drm] VT_GETMODE failed: Inappropriate ioctl for device
[vo/drm] Failed to set up VT switcher. Terminal switching will be unavailable.
[vo/drm] Listing DRM devices with drmGetDevices failed! (No such file or directory)
[vo/drm] Failed to find a usable DRM primary node!
[vo/drm] Failed to create KMS.
Error opening/initializing the selected video_out (--vo) device.
Installing X and going
startx
works but I really wish it was feasible outside X as I'm a little short on ram and I really like the idea of playing stuff directly from the console. I know it should be possible to pull it off but I don't know where and what to look for. I'm also ignorant as to whether it's GPU/driver related. If there are better ways of achieving the same thing, let me know, please.
