[MPlayer-users] Bug report / suggestion for -idx and -forceidx

[Jonathan Viney]

Hi,

I have noticed that mplayer does not continue reconstructing the movie 
file if it comes across a corrupt frame. Eg: I have partial avi file 
which has a corrupt frame part way through and when the reindexing 
process gets to this frame it stops and starts playing the file.

The windows equivalent (DivFix) notes the corrupted frame and keeps 
reconstructing the index.

So the end result is that I can't watch the avi file past the corrupt 
frame with -idx or -forceidx.

The command lines I used were:

mplayer -forceidx test.avi
mplayer -idx test.avi

Both have the same result.

Is this feature going to be added?

Cheers
