[MPlayer-users] Strange MPlayer behavior when playing on TV

[Marcin Zajączkowski]

Hi,


MPlayer works strange with X-server (only) started on TV. It shows the 
first frame (or some from the begin of movie) and stops. When 
paused/resumed it plays a few frames and stops again. The same when 
forwarded.

I happens on Fedora 8. I have no problem with it on Fedora 5. I use the 
same config for nvidia tv-out in Xorg and the same script to play 
mplayer. I have even tried start it from xterm started on TV - the same.
It have tried many different video drivers (standard, xv, sdl, gl, even 
caca!). All the same. It works normal on my monitor, but not on my TV.
Suspending Xorg problem I have checked Totem and VLC and they work fine.

I use mplayer 1.0-rc2 (RPM 1.0-0.90.rc2 by Dominik Mierzejewski from 
livna.org), X Window System Version 1.3.0 (xorg-x11-server 
1.3.0.0-40.fc8) and legacy nvidia binary driver (packaged by livna) - 
xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-legacy-71.86.01-4.lvn8.1 (I have GeForce 2 Ti 
graphic card).

I don't know if it's a problem with mplayer, but maybe you know what 
could be a reason (and maybe in addition how it could be fixed)?


Thanks
Marcin
