I've had problems with mplayer2 before, not with video playback but with subtitles. I'm not familiar with tvtime so I can't provide any comments about it. As for mplayer try using a different video out driver, use 'mplayer -vo driver video_file' You can get a list of drivers with 'mplayer -vo help'. Some that may be worth trying are: xv (most probably the one mplayer auto selects), x11, sdl, gl, gl2, gl_nosw. Some of these might not have any form of acceleration so they may be slow or cpu intensive but will do for testing as you may be hitting some bug in the drivers. Also try with vlc and check if the same happens, I think vlc will also try to use xv and if the problem is the same it might help to determine what the problem is. -- Mauro Santos
