Hello, I had the problem, that about 50% of my videos suddenly stopped working and became choppy at playback (for several months now, but I had no time to check it earlier). However I didn't know whether that was caused by an update of mplayer, freevo or any other component.
Afer some hours of debugging I found the cuplrit: video/plugins/mplayer.py, line 257: if self.version >= 1 and item['deinterlace']: additional_args += [ '-vf', 'pp=de/fd' ] elif item['deinterlace']: additional_args += [ '-vop', 'pp=fd' ] elif self.version >= 1: additional_args += [ '-vf', 'pp=de' ] The last elif adds the video-filter to all mplayer video playbacks. Commenting this out solved the problem and now all of my videos work again, with a maximum of 60% CPU (before all of the choppy ones played back at 100% CPU). So everything stopped working after I did a debian update of mplayer from 0.9 to 1.0x some months ago. Probably this only applies to my setup (Epia M9000, Debian Sid with Xfree, VIA binary drivers, SPDIF-Out with resampling, Kernel 2.6.8.1-epia1) and only for some types of video. However I doubt that, and I dont't think that it is a good idea to apply video filters without being configured to do so in the local_conf.
