Barry, thanks for your messge. You didn't say whether you tried what I did with HVR4000+liplianindvb+szap2 (-p option). Before we talk about mplayer, does it actually work for you? > Which version of `mplayer'? > > You probably know, but it bears repeating: mplayer is a > moving target, and significant features are added regularly. Yes, I know. People around here could learn a lot from the way mplayer and ffmpeg each continue to check in significant and rapid improvements to a single repository. I regularly update mplayer from SVN and recompile too. I have tried the following: MPlayer dev-SVN-r27489-4.1.2 (today!): runs but video very slow and out of sync, audio ok. MPlayer dev-SVN-r27341-4.1.2 (about 1 month old): crashes in <1s MPlayer 1.0rc2-4.2.3 (ubuntu hardy): crashes in <1s xine-lib 1.1.15, xine-ui 0.99.5 (latest): No video, but audio ok. The log I showed was from Mplayer SVN 27341, but 27489 is similar: lots and lots of "number of reference frames exceeds max" errors. > > Starting playback... > > [h264 @ 0xbc0b40]number of reference frames exceeds max > > (probably corrupt input), discarding one > > [h264 @ 0xbc0b40]number of reference frames exceeds max > > (probably corrupt input), discarding one > > [h264 @ 0xbc0b40]number of reference frames exceeds max > > (probably corrupt input), discarding one > > [h264 @ 0xbc0b40]number of reference frames exceeds max > > (probably corrupt input), discarding one And I have some sample TS files for Astra HD+ made with another card which all the mplayers play perfectly so I know h264 is working. So at this point I do not think the problem is mplayer. Hans -- Release early, release often. Psssst! Schon das coole Video vom GMX MultiMessenger gesehen?
