[Freevo-users] Freevo seriously degrads mplayer playback

[Justin T Wetherell]

My current setup is 800mhz with 128ram, voutput is Voodoo3 using fbdev for the driver, aoutput is SB live using alsa9 for the driver, running Slackware 9.1 and 1.4rc1 for Freevo. I have come across a strange problem. When I go to playback a avi I recorded with Freevo the output is very shaky and very distorted when I fast forward. But when I goto play the same file using the same command line found in /var/log/internal-runapp it works fine with no distortion even when fast forwording 5 minutes into the program.   Example... Here is the line that freevo uses when the distortion happens...  ./runtime/runapp --prio=-20 /usr/local/bin/mplayer -ac mad, -autosync 100 -nolirc -autoq 100 -ni -dr -double -nobps -hardframedrop -slave -ao alsa9 -cache 1000 -v -vo fbdev /mnt/freevo/tv/Days of Our Lives--2003-10-29-1200.avi -vf scale=800:600   Here is what I put on the command line and it plays fine. /usr/local/bin/mplayer -ac mad, -autosync 100 -nolirc -autoq 100 -ni -dr -double -nobps -hardframedrop -slave -ao alsa9 -cache 1000 -v -vo fbdev /mnt/freevo/tv/Days of Our Lives--2003-10-29-1200.avi -vf scale=800:600   I don't understand why this would happen is Freevo doesnt use all that much cpu time but I was wondering if anyone else might have a clue.   P.S. It also does the same for DVD's
