[MPlayer-users] mplayer doesn't work properly with X version 1.19.0.0

[stan]

Just a heads up about the latest version of X.

I've been running the future Fedora 25.  They recently upgraded the
version of X that it uses to 1.19.0.0.  When they did that, mplayer
stopped working properly.  It would display the video, but play it at
about 1/8 to 1/16 speed, and after a few seconds I would get the "Your
system is too slow to play this video message".  When I tried vlc, it
exhibited the same problem.  ffplay played the video at the correct
speed, but locked towards the latter half of the video with seek errors.

I tried a recompile with the latest subversion and ffmpeg with X 1.19
installed, and it didn't fix the problem.

When I downgraded everything to X 1.18.4.6, mplayer works properly
again.  So something has changed in the ABI / API of X with the newest
version.

I'm using the radeon driver from the kernel, and I'm running a 4.8
kernel.
