Public bug reported:
1. Start video : plays fine.
2. Spacebar to <pause> video : works fine
4. Spacebar to <restart> video : works fine
If however:
5. ">" to <fwd> video : goes okay
6. Spacebar to <pause> video : works fine
7. Spacebar to <restart> video : video stutters
I created an error log (attached) in which I started a video and then:
1. paused and restarted it with the spacebar three times
2. fowarded
3. paused and restarted it with the spacebar three times
Some obvious problems:
# it seems to be looking for options in the directory where the video its
playing is located
# it can't find an input.conf file in the user's home directory
# it keeps "trying to enable screensaver" (20 times in this brief test)
# it keeps "trying to disable screensaver" (14 times in this brief test)
# it keeps looking for a video called "filename" in the user directory where it
was launched
This is a severe problem for work that requires rapid navigation of
video using keyboard shortcuts.
The thing that makes mplayer the greatest media player are its keyboard
shortcuts and the faultless control it gives over playback position and
speed.
FYI, Nothing like this has occurred in years of operation. It was
working fine last week, before a distribution upgrade and fresh install
of gnome-mplayer. (Last was about a year ago - I couldn't tell you what
version it was, but it was installed from Ubuntu Software Center at the
time.).
