This is just to motivate anybody having a spare 5 minutes into working receiving the norwegian dvb-t broadcasts ... (should also interest people from NZ) :-) I've uploaded another sample to incoming, filename hakon.alstadheim.priv.no.nrk3.ts. Attaching the standard output and error when playing below. As you can see I have patched my mplayer to force 25 fps framerate. Seems that patch no longer works as intended, but the straight (non-patched) mplayer gives similarily discouraging results when viewing. Happy hacking everybody :-) . If you want more debugging output, just tell me what and I'll try to comply. -------------------- MPlayer dev-SVN-r26171-4.1.2 (C) 2000-2008 MPlayer Team CPU: Intel(R) Pentium(R) 4 CPU 2.00GHz (Family: 15, Model: 2, Stepping: 4) CPUflags: MMX: 1 MMX2: 1 3DNow: 0 3DNow2: 0 SSE: 1 SSE2: 1 Compiled for x86 CPU with extensions: MMX MMX2 SSE SSE2 Playing hakon.alstadheim.priv.no.nrk3.ts.

MPlayer interrupted by signal 11 in module: decode_audio - MPlayer crashed by bad usage of CPU/FPU/RAM. Recompile MPlayer with --enable-debug and make a 'gdb' backtrace and disassembly. Details in DOCS/HTML/en/bugreports_what.html#bugreports_crash. - MPlayer crashed. This shouldn't happen. It can be a bug in the MPlayer code _or_ in your drivers _or_ in your gcc version. If you think it's MPlayer's fault, please read DOCS/HTML/en/bugreports.html and follow the instructions there. We can't and won't help unless you provide this information when reporting a possible bug.
