I already wrote about issues with last mplayer http://lists.mplayerhq.hu/pipermail/mplayer-users/2010-January/078801.html and here's list of people who care: (end of list) This time it refuses to play vob files (log below). It worked before, so obviously last version is screwed up. Damn, mplayer used to be "play-it-all" player, and now it's just silly :( D:/Program Files/SMPlayer/mplayer/mplayer.exe -noquiet -nofs -nomouseinput -sub-fuzziness 1 -identify -slave -vo directx -ao dsound -nokeepaspect -priority abovenormal -framedrop -nodr -double -wid 7864964 -colorkey 0x020202 -monitorpixelaspect 1 -ass -embeddedfonts -ass-line-spacing 0 -ass-font-scale 1 -ass-styles D:/Documents and Settings/Administrator/.smplayer/styles.ass -fontconfig -font Arial -subfont-autoscale 0 -subfont-osd-scale 20 -subfont-text-scale 20 -subcp ISO-8859-1 -subpos 100 -volume 50 -cache 2000 -osdlevel -vf-add screenshot -slices -channels 2 -af scaletempo,equalizer=0:0:0:0:0:0:0:0:0:0 -softvol -softvol-max 110 D:/MOVIES/DVD Star Wars I - VI/VTS_04_1.VOB MPlayer Sherpya-SVN-r29355-4.5.0 (C) 2000-2009 MPlayer Team Setting process priority: abovenormal Playing D:/MOVIES/DVD Star Wars I - VI/VTS_04_1.VOB.

Recompile MPlayer with --enable-debug and make a 'gdb' backtrace and disassembly. Details in DOCS/HTML/en/bugreports_what.html#bugreports_crash. - MPlayer crashed. This shouldn't happen. It can be a bug in the MPlayer code _or_ in your drivers _or_ in your gcc version. If you think it's MPlayer's fault, please read DOCS/HTML/en/bugreports.html and follow the instructions there. We can't and won't help unless you provide this information when reporting a possible bug. P.s. do you really expect users to recompile? No thanks.
