I've been noticing a problem with -idx in the latest revisions. I've just compiled SVN r29979 and the problem is still present. I try to play a file which doesn't have an index, so I use -idx mplayer video.avi -idx The problem is that when I press the right cursor to seek 10 seconds, it seems it seeks to the end of the file and then mplayer closes. If I press the left cursor instead it seeks to 10 seconds before the end of the file. If I press the down cursor if goes to 1 minute before the end the file. (At this point the cursor keys work ok, pressing left goes 10 seconds backwards, right goes 10 seconds forward). If I play the file and press the up cursor mplayer closes again, I suppose it tries to go to the end of file + 1 minute. So the problem seems that when seeking for first time, the starting point is the end of the file instead of the beginning. By the way, -forceidx has the same behaviour. -- RVM
