[MPlayer-users] Some mpeg4/xvid videos dont work with threads=2 (or more)

Hi, after rebuilding mplayer several times and backtracking to earlier versions of ffmpeg, the (ffmpeg) commit that causes problems playing these files is:

commit no 'c10d498bfd246a40cc7830838b74e18a79418839'
commit title 'Add thread-safe wrapper for get_format().'
commit date Mon, 15 Apr 2013

Rebuilding mplayer with the previous ffmpeg commit 'Fix compilation on ARM with android gcc 4.7', and the files play fine. Hope this info helps. Regards.
