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.

Cheers,
Magnus
