As I told you all earlier, I've made a script to create .po files from the help files. By doing this I discovered some flaws in the translation files. This is the diff. I'm also attaching the new version of my tiny script.

[PATCH] README
by Diego Biurrun 17 Oct '03

17 Oct '03

Hello everybody! Hoping to bring the linewrap saga to a good end, here is my latest patch for the README. Lines are wrapped on column 80, meaning there are at most 79 characters of text on one line. The changes: - Added Step0: Getting MPlayer Download instructions are consolidated in one place instead of repeated at 3 different places throughout the text. Plus I included instructions for accessing CVS. - I mention the ~/.mplayer/Skin/ and ~/.mplayer/font/ installation locations for normal users. - A bunch of wording updates.

mga_vid memory detection error
by Eric Lammerts 02 Mar '03

Hi, I've got a 16Mb Matrox G400 card that is misdetected as a 32Mb model. The result is a green screen. With mga_ram_size=16, everything works fine. (I'm using the current CVS). Since "lspci -v" reports "16Mb", wouldn't it be a good idea to use the subsystem vendor/device id for the memory detection?

[BUG] nice little bug somewhere (config/playtree)
by Gabucino 25 Jan '03

25 Jan '03

This bug happens to only one of my files, B10.AVI from Thief Gold CD. All the other files on that CD works ok, so I think it's some memcorruption, or other MPlayer-specific bug. mplayer 1/1/B10.AVI WORKS mplayer -ao pcm 1/1/B10.AVI WORKS mplayer -vo null 1/1/B10.AVI WORKS mplayer -vo null -ao pcm 1/1/B10.AVI HANGS AT END, 100% CPU (attach: log1) mplayer -vo null -vc null 1/1/B10.AVI WORKS mplayer -vo null -vc null -ao pcm 1/1/B10.AVI SIG11 AT END (attach: log2) After mencoding it into MPEG4+MP3, all of the options above work bugfree.

[PATCH] some bugs in the osd menu
by Christian Ohm 08 Jan '03

08 Jan '03

hi. i've found some bugs in the osd menu. and some i was even able to fix :). the attached patch contains those i'm pretty sure about. but there are some more, like open_dir sometimes being called with a NULL as args, and the file list getting corrupted on its way to menu_list_draw, so m->txt in line 49 of menu_list.c points to some random garbage. both result in a segfault. i haven't found the cause of that yet, i'll see if i can hunt them down if i have some time. bye, christian ohm ps: i've attached a simplified version of my aspect correction plugin. -- If the human brain were so simple that we could understand it, we would be so simple we couldn't.
