I built mplayer from svn: MPlayer SVN-r30385-4.3.3 and it crashes consistently with -vo null. Other outputs are fine. Is anyone else seeing this? The full command is: mplayer dvdnav://1 -dvd-device /dev/myth/dvd -ss 700 -frames 30 -vf cropdetect -ao null -vo null It works fine with -vo x11 and others. -- If you have eight hours to chop down a tree spend six sharpening your axe. --Abraham Lincoln
