[MPlayer-users] Problems playing with vdr streams.

[Josef Wolf]

Hello!

I have problems playing streams from vdr.  After about two minutes, the
cache fill rate (the last number on the status line) goes down to zero
and video starts humbling.  Some time after that mplayer exits completely.

I have tried to increase cache, but with little success.  I have also
tried to use the -autosync option (with values up to 300).

When I try TS instead of PS withhin the URL, mplayer don't play at all.
OTOH, xine plays the TS without problems (but with poor deinterlace :()

Any ideas?

Here is mplayer's output:

jw at raven:$ mplayer -vfm ffmpeg -autosync 30 -cache 512 -fstype none -vf pp=md http://vdr1:3000/PS/36

Maybe you are playing a non-interleaved stream/file or the codec failed?
For AVI files, try to force non-interleaved mode with the -ni option.
