[MPlayer-users] MPlayer crash.

[Damian G]

i've found a site that contains -probably crappy encoding- movies
that make  MPlayer crash. Tested against pre9 running Mandrake 8.2, 
compiled with gcc 2.95.3. 

here's the error message: 

----
MPlayer interrupted by signal 11 in module: decode_video

i will upload a file called "ot171.avi"  to MPlayer's ftp.

Note: MPlayer sometimes crashes instantly after start playing, 
sometimes it starts OK but crashes if i try to switch to fullscreen 
mode.... some rare times doesn't crash at all. so please try several
times and play a little with it. using -ao null doesn't help. Neither does
changing vo. Sometimes i can woraround it by starting with -fs instead
of switching during playback.
