[MPlayer-users] Re: Mplayer setup advice needed ... [crashing ?]

[Adam Bogacki]

I have been getting this 'mplayer crashing' message a few times.

I have installed all the codecs from mplayer into
~/.mplayer/codecs, /usr/local/lib/codecs, and into /usr/lib/codecs ...
... by elimination I thought I might get it to work.

I find mp3 audio is playing well, and on some sites I get video without 
audio.
Others crash, as below.

I've just changed my '/etc/apt/sources.list' from unstable to testing.
Should I go back to unstable in case
