:-) Puff that's a relief

o-:?? Couldn't you read the attachment? I hoped that a compressed text log file would
be safest way and that's why I attached the log.gz file :-( Sorry for that

The thing is that all these setups work with rc1 flawlessly and started exhibiting problems
(i.e. too slow, freeze, etc.) with rc2. That's when I went to the SVN and I'm trying to post
the problems I encounter. In the past, XV has been the fastest driver for me too... but now
it is freezing with the MPEG-TS streams (additional info: it is clearly the MPEG-TS streams
with video, because I can't watch dvb-t TV but can listen to dvb-t Radio)

I'm using the debian infrastructure and I always do:

fakeroot debian/rules clean
svn update
fakeroot debian/rules configure
fakeroot debian/rules binary
sudo dpkg -i ../mplayer_1.0svn_i386.deb

to refresh the mplayer executable and start with the test.

OK, then I'll forget about the gl drivers and concentrate on x11 to prove that
everything continues to work with it and then I'll check what happens with
the XV driver, which seems to be the faulty driver in my case

Maybe, you will agree with me that there were a lot of unknowns for me at
the beginning and that now everything seems clearer. And I promise I have
had several days where I had problems with the APID and VPID in MPEG-TS
files besides the freeze when using the XV driver I so much want to work.
