Product: mplayer
Component: mplayer
Summary: Mplayer Dies During WMA Stream Play
Version: 0.90-0.rc4.4mdk
Platform: PC
OS/Version: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: P2
AssignedTo: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Mplayer seems able to connect with a WMA stream and play for a short time, but fails
after about 5 or less minutes of playback. Latest winblows codecs have been
downloaded from the mplayer.hu site and installed in /usr/lib/win32.
It seems to be related to disk activity. If you switch between desktops in the middle
of playback, mplayer croaks (evidently because there is swapping). If there is any
kind of disk activity during playback, mplayer croaks. XFS filesystem is being used
for all partitions on this system.
Was this version of Mplayer compiled with the idea of using the windows codecs in
/usr/lib/win32? Or is it using the avifile libraries? The former is probably the
better solution. I'm not even sure that mplayer is using the codecs that I installed
in /usr/lib/win32; certainly an "mplayer -ac help" does not show much of anything
resembling win codec support. Perhaps mplayer has to be compiled with a loaded
/usr/lib/win32 directory in place in order to take advantage of win32 codecs. (?)
System is known good under LM82 and has 9.1 RC1 installed, synced with mirrors as of
Feb 21 at 6:00PM EST.
I would post the output of mplayer here but middle-click copying from terminals to
windows is not working in RC1 under Enlightenment.
The only codec that seemed to be mentioned by mplayer output was ffmpeg.
System is known good under LM82 and has 9.1 RC1 loaded which is current with cooker
mirrors as of Feb 21 at 6:00PM EST
