MPlayer 1.0-pre3
Hi,
Just to let you know: on 9 december, MPlayer 1.0-pre3 was released and
rereleased (the first version didn't even compile on any big-endian
architecture.)
It looks like the colour problems of the previous version have been
fixed (mlib is mentioned in the long changelog), but stability is
terrible compared to -pre2. Arguably, only fixing the compilation
problems is not all :)
It repeatedly crashes:
stn@cruithne:~$ /usr/src/MPlayer-1.0pre3/mplayer -ao null ./returnoftheking_nl480_dl.mov
...
MPlayer interrupted by signal 10 in module: decode_video
- MPlayer crashed. This shouldn't happen.
stn@cruithne:~$ /usr/src/MPlayer-1.0pre3/mplayer -ao null rtsp://streams.omroep.nl/tv/tros/2vandaag/bb.tyler.rm
...
MPlayer interrupted by signal 10 in module: open_stream
- MPlayer crashed. This shouldn't happen.
I hope there'll be another rerelease for Sparc. :)
As a sidenote, when KDE's sound daemon artsd is active, mplayer says:
stn@cruithne:~$ /usr/src/MPlayer-1.0pre3/mplayer ./Royksopp\ -\ Remind\ Me\ \(DK\ Yankz\).avi
...
audio_setup: Can't open audio device /dev/dsp: Device or resource busy
ao_nas: init(): Can't open nas audio server -> nosound
SDL: Samplerate: 44100Hz Channels: Stereo Format Signed 16-bit (Big-Endian)
Killed
It is killed because my kernel (Debian's 2.4.21) oopses:
Dec 11 13:24:41 cruithne kernel: Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference
Dec 11 13:24:41 cruithne kernel: tsk->{mm,active_mm}->context = 000000000000072a
Dec 11 13:24:41 cruithne kernel: tsk->{mm,active_mm}->pgd = fffff80014a84000

Dec 11 13:24:41 cruithne kernel: \__U_/
Dec 11 13:24:41 cruithne kernel: mplayer(5701): Oops
Is this normal? The audio/cs4231 modules are loaded.
(No such problem when I kill artsd beforehand; the Royksopp divx plays
fine then, a bit slow but with the correct colours! :))
Regards,
Pieter-Paul
