Hi All Since a few weeks some .wmv files cannot be played properly by both mplayer and xine, movies that could be played fine without these green colors some time ago, at least as far as I can recall it. When played back now, these movies look like shown on the pictures on this page:
http://forum.videolan.org/viewtopic.php?f=12&t=66006 This mess happens both on a rather fresh unstable Debian on a TiBookIV, and on a not-so-fresh unstable Debian on a Powerbook5,8. On the Powerbook5,8 Xorg packages are relatively new from unstable (not so new is a relatively big chunk of the rest of the packages, which might be more than half a year old, from unstable) and mplayer is upgraded to very new versions: mplayer self-rolled 1 or 2 weeks ago from sources as found on the mplayer sites and installed on the Powerbook5,8. Contrary to the TiBookIV where a new mplayer-g4 (mencoder-g4) is installed from debian.netcologne.de. New xine packages are used on both machines as shipped with Debian unstable ... On both machines this behavior can be seen with the same self-compiled non-Debian kernel 2.6.30 running. Additionally, the TiBookIV, when booted with some 2.6.26.rc5 kernel (from git sources then, IIRC), shows the same behavior regarding these greenish edges ... Google seems to relatively silent on the mess - that's why I'm here. So before going into more details: Does anyone know the reason for this change of behavior of these movie players? Thanks for your time in anticipation. Best Regards Wolfgang -- http://heelsbroke.wordpress.com -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-powerpc-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
