[Automatic answer: RTFM (read DOCS, FAQ), also read DOCS/bugreports.html] Hi,
When I play a mpeg Video, mplayer often crashes with signal 11 in decode_video. This happens with 1.0pre1, pre2, pre3 and current cvs from today. 0.92 however works fine. Also this only seems to happen when the system load is a bit higher. (for example when switching to another workspace or starting another program) Does anybody know something about this? Maybe it's a bug?
Are you saying this happens with all mpeg videos, or with only one specific file? If it's one file, then upload the video (as much as is necessary to reproduce the problem) to ftp://ftp.mplayerhq.hu/MPlayer/incoming If it happens regardless of source, or not in any specific place, I would suspect you have a hardware problem. For some reason mplayer and mencoder seem to be the first programs to crash when hardware isn't working properly. Perhaps you've overclocked a tiny bit too much, or need to make your CPU a little cooler. -Corey
