[MPlayer-users] [BUGREPORT] DVD audio aid/alang problem... NO-SPAM

Sun May 1 06:37:00 CEST 2005

I've got a strange problem here.

The DVD is "Gettysburg".  MPlayer has no problem playing the main title
(track 1), but with any of the other tracks, it can't play audio,
reporting "Too many video packets in the buffer: (4096 in 8254326
bytes)."

With MPlayer-1.0pre6, if I put "-novideo" on the command-line, it will
play both audio and video (strange--bug?) without any problems. 
However, that trick doesn't work with pre7 or latest CVS...  

I've narrowed down the problem to the "-alang en" option in my config
file.  According to mplayer's output, the title has only two audio
tracks, 128=en 129=fr.  Selecting either of them with -alang or -aid
will result in the "too many packets" error.  However, if I remove the
alang option from my mplayer.conf, it will play the audio with no
errors.  A "-noalang" option would be very helpful...

I've uploaded a 16MB example to incoming/ named "nosound06.mpg".  Play
it with no "-aid" option and sound will work.  Play it with "-aid 128"
and you'll get only errors.  Play it with 1.0pre6 with "-aid 128" and
"-novideo" and it will also work, for whatever weird reason.

Of course, the question is, is this just a very badly mastered DVD,
and/or can a fix to mplayer make it work properly.  Here's my mplayer
output:

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.
