Hi, I am using VDR-1.4.1-1 with mplayer-plugin 0.9.15pre10. The primary card is a FF card (Hauppauge Rev 1.3). The CPU is an Athlon 2000+, with 512Mb of RAM. I can read most video files, but some don't work.The screen stays black during a few seconds, then the live TV program is displayed again. I have enabled the DEBUG option of the plugin, and here is the log : Aug 22 09:03:17 vdr logger: *** Starting mplayer.sh Version 0.8.6 Aug 22 09:03:17 vdr logger: *** DEBUG: Variable CFGFIL has value "/etc/vdr/plugins/mplayer/mplayer.sh.conf" Aug 22 09:03:17 vdr logger: *** DEBUG: Variable USEAC3 has value "false" Aug 22 09:03:17 vdr logger: *** DEBUG: Variable AC3AOUT has value "-ao alsa9 -ac hwac3" Aug 22 09:03:17 vdr logger: *** DEBUG: Variable TV_ASPECT has value "16/9" Aug 22 09:03:17 vdr logger: *** DEBUG: Variable PAL has value "true" Aug 22 09:03:17 vdr logger: *** DEBUG: Variable NTSC has value "true" Aug 22 09:03:17 vdr logger: *** DEBUG: Variable USE_SPEED has value "true" Aug 22 09:03:17 vdr logger: *** DEBUG: Variable DETC_FILTER has value "detc=dr=2:am=1" Aug 22 09:03:17 vdr logger: *** DEBUG: Variable MPLAYER has value "/usr/bin/mplayer" Aug 22 09:03:17 vdr logger: *** DEBUG: Variable VOP has value "lavc=5000" Aug 22 09:03:17 vdr logger: *** DEBUG: Variable VO has value "mpegpes" Aug 22 09:03:17 vdr logger: *** DEBUG: Variable AO has value "mpegpes" Aug 22 09:03:17 vdr logger: *** DEBUG: Variable CACHE has value "4096" Aug 22 09:03:17 vdr logger: *** DEBUG: Variable CACHESTR has value "-cache 4096" Aug 22 09:03:17 vdr logger: *** DEBUG: Variable FRAMEDROP has value "true" Aug 22 09:03:17 vdr logger: *** DEBUG: Variable FDSTR has value "-framedrop" Aug 22 09:03:17 vdr logger: *** DEBUG: Variable LIRCRC has value "/etc/lircd.conf" Aug 22 09:03:17 vdr logger: *** DEBUG: Variable LIRCSTR has value "-lircconf /etc/lircd.conf" Aug 22 09:03:17 vdr logger: *** DEBUG: Variable SUBTITLE has value " -subpos 80 -sub-bg-color 0 -sub-bg-alpha 30" Aug 22 09:03:17 vdr logger: *** DEBUG: Variable REMOTE has value "-slave -nolirc" Aug 22 09:03:17 vdr logger: *** DEBUG: Variable AUDIO has value "" Aug 22 09:03:17 vdr logger: *** Use Option USERDEF at your own risk!
