[MPlayer-users] mplayer bug? reading AVI files (fwd)

Wed Jan 9 21:18:02 CET 2002

(it was not clear from the auto reply concerning "two point nine
 six" if the mail got through so I risk trying again...)

Dear Mplayer developers-

Enclosed some bug info about a problem I encountered trying to
play AVI files- feel free to ignore--

I don't think the problem is not specific to the file- I get the
same stuff using the plugger testpages on this machine and xanim
can play the avi file with no problem.

I initially compiled using two.nine.six but have now installed
and tested using gcc 3.0.3 and get the exact same problem.  My
compilers are installed side by side and gcc 3.0.3 is in
/usr/local/bin and was selected using configure --cc
/usr/local/bin/gcc.

----I wouldn't rule out some form of dodgy installation
somewhere on this machine----

THE PROBLEM-

When trying to play an AVI file mplayer thinks for a while and
then gives up- It will play other formats alright though.

Here is the output and system info- contact me if you want more
information etc etc.

Anyway thanks for the player- very nice in other respects- if
you are interested I would like to suggest the following
features-
controls to change the frame rate (when playing and to save to
another file)
controls to loop sections or sequences out of a larger film

Thanks matt
