Actually, I mis-remembered this. Looking more closely, 'mpv' defaults to "gpu", resulting in: $ mpv xfrm_blast.mpeg [ffmpeg/demuxer] mpeg: Packet corrupt (stream = 1, dts = 1444422). (+) Video --vid=1 (mpeg1video 352x240 29.970fps) (+) Audio --aid=1 (mp2 2ch 44100Hz) [ao/netbsd] Opening device /dev/audio AO: [netbsd] 48000Hz stereo 2ch s32 VO: [gpu] 352x240 => 352x262 yuv420p Memory fault (core dumped) A window is opened but nothing is ever drawn in it (shows snapshot of screen contents below the window). No audio is ever output. I'll need to install the "xdebug" set to get a full backtrace of the crash. Forcing "--vo=xv" opens a window but nothing is ever drawn in it (shows snapshot of screen contents below the window) but audio is played. This also elicits nag messages about "xv" being a legacy video output mode with poor performance. It doesn't segfault. 'mplayer' defaults to "xv" but displays a black window. I should have noted before that this is on an up-to-date netbsd-9 (_STABLE) amd64. -- |/"\ John D.
