[MPlayer-users] gmplayer - playing VCD's -> Signal 11, sound errors.

[Hermann Himmelbauer]

Hi,
I have troubles playing VCD's with the graphical MPlayer (gmplayer).

With mplayer I can play VCD's with "mplayer vcd://1" without any problems, 
although there is a kind of error message:

Playing vcd://1
Unable to open URL: vcd://1
                       ^^^^^^^^^^^^^
What does this mean?

track 01:  adr=1  ctrl=6  format=2  00:02:00  mode: 1
track 02:  adr=1  ctrl=6  format=2  00:15:53  mode: 1

When trying it with gmplayer, like "gmplayer vcd://1" the following error 
message occurs: "MPlayer interrupted by signal 11 in module: open_stream".
Then MPlayer crashes.

This happens with any VCD I have.

I compiled MPlayer from CVS, "MPlayer dev-CVS-030818-10:22-3.3" - the crash 
did not occur some time ago, my latest CVS build was ~ 3 Month old.

Another (not very important) problem that also happens only with gmplayer is 
the following error message (~ 10 messages/second):
alsa-control: unable to find simple control 'PCM',0 0%  0%  0,0% 0 0 0%

This seems to have no negative effect, the sound is audible. My alsa version 
is 0.9.6, with an older alsa version there was no such problem.

Sorry that I did not send a proper bug report but the problem seems quite 
common as there are already some similar reports on google groups (but sadly 
no posted solution). Anyway I will send a report if it is really needed to 
solve the problem.

		Best Regards,
		Hermann
