Welcome,
mpv is a much smaller , "do one thing well" video and audio player that is the successor to mplayer. You might try installing that. Hopefully others will chime in.

Can we check your hardware and drivers?

lspci -knn | grep -iA2 vga
glxinfo | grep render

sure thing

rchmyn@ghost:~$ lspci -knn | grep -iA2 vga

update: i just discovered that playback skips seconds like as if was fastforwarding

thanks will look into that but it seems that the problem is not the player because audacious and youtube behave likewise skiping seconds of playback

a. I'd go with some newer kernel (backports). There were several threads explaining how to do that irc (search).
edit: here is one https://forums.bunsenlabs.org/viewtopic.php?id=1257

b. build latest mpv

Oh dear, my condolences — support for that card is notoriously poor under GNU/Linux.

The ArchWiki page has some suggestions:

https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/In … erformance

The Liquorix-patched kernel may help but can only be used directly if no custom kernel modules (eg, virtualbox) are needed:

https://liquorix.net/

MX15 have backported versions of the Liquorix kernel that can be safely installed in BunsenLabs and will work with any dkms packages:

http://main.mepis-deb.org/MX15packages.html

To try out the modesetting driver, install the xserver-xorg-video-modesetting package and configure it as per https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/In … itor_Setup

If it doesn't improve matters, simple delete /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-gpudriver.conf to revert back to the gma500 drivers.

A lot of jessie dkms packages won't work with the newer Liquorix kernels--we're trying to keep patched versions in at least the MX test repository, but I can't get the i386 fglrx driver to build--64 bit will, though.

I also have a separate OBS repo for Liquourix kernels (it also has codelite in it)

https://software.opensuse.org/download. … e=codelite

Currently, it has 4.8 and 4.9 kernels in there.

When I have time I should add the updated driver dkms packages to that repo, too.

The commands to add the key need to be run as root also, not with sudo.

I also have current versions of mpv in another multimedia backports OBS repo--it has the current stable (3.2.4) system ffmpeg in there too for mpv to build against, instead of building an internal version of ffmpeg like the first method suggested.

Here you can see what's all in that multimedia repository--lately I have added kodi-17.0 before it makes its way into jessie-backports--also just added kodi-peripheral-joystick that helped a Debian user get his xbox controller working with the new Kodi: https://build.opensuse.org/project/show … evepassert
