[MPlayer-users] [BUG] MPlayer freezes when playing a playlist

[Matthias Dilger]

Hi,

today I checked out the latest CVS and found that MPlayer freezes when playing 
multiple files (aka a 'playlist'). I did this:

mad at obelix:~$ mplayer share/videos/245.mpeg share/videos/6thsense.avi

Playing /home/mad/share/videos/6thsense.avi 
^-- Here MPlayer freezes, the picture in the window is the last frame of the 
old file. I have to kill it with -9.

I investigated a bit further and found out that when I swap the 2 files 
(play .avi first, then .mpeg) the freeze does NOT occur. Playing only .mpeg 
files therefore reproduces the crash, playing only .avi files doesn't.
I tried -vo x11 and -vo xv, both with the same result. I use the closed source 
nvidia driver.

Regards, Matthias
