[MPlayer-users] MPlayer-1.0pre3 crashes when trying .wmv files

[Anders Misfeldt]

Hey

I just installed MPlayer-1.0pre3 on my Fedora Core 1 box. I've been using MPlayer for a long time now on older Red Hat versions without having this problem.

When ever I try playing a .wmv movie MPlayer crashes with the message:

$ mplayer test.wmv

MPlayer interrupted by signal 11 in module: init_video_codec
- MPlayer crashed by bad usage of CPU/FPU/RAM.
  Recompile MPlayer with --enable-debug and make a 'gdb' backtrace and
  disassembly. Details in DOCS/HTML/en/bugreports_what.html#bugreports_crash.
- MPlayer crashed. This shouldn't happen.
  It can be a bug in the MPlayer code _or_ in your drivers _or_ in your
  gcc version. If you think it's MPlayer's fault, please read
  DOCS/HTML/en/bugreports.html and follow the instructions there. We can't and
  won't help unless you provide this information when reporting a possible bug.

I've tried enabling the debug and doing a backtrace. That only printet out the same as above! 

I've compiled MPlayer with gcc-3.3.2-1. My machine is a Athlon XP 1800+ with a NVidia G-Force 2MX videocard (which never gave me any problems before). I've installed the newest NVidia drivers prior to installing MPlayer (I also tried before with same result). 

MPlayer works fine with .mpg, .avi, .mov and .fli (the ones I've tested). I compiled MPlayer the following way:

./configure --enable-gui --with-xanimlibdir=/usr/local/lib/codecs --with-reallibdir=/usr/local/lib/codecs --disable-runtime-cpudetection
make 
make install

I've also tried using the --enable-debug and --enable-runtime-cpudetection. Nothing helped.

Anyone with a solution?

With kind regards
