[MPlayer-users] Bug: Suddenly can't play a movie with MPLAYER OSX video out (macosx:shared_buffer)

[David Ponzone]

Hi,

Today, I tried to play a movie with the regular MPLAYER OSX video out module
(which is on my iMac the only one which avoids the menu bar in full screen
on my LCD flat screen, but if I play on my second monitor, Core Video or
Quartz are ok).

This used to work perfectly (some days ago was the last time I used it), but
today I got this:

***END****

If I use Quartz or CoreVideo, it works, but with the menu bar in full screen...

I applied the last auto-updates, so I run 10.4.4, on iMac G4 17" LCD.
Also, I installed iLife'06 this week.

Not sure it can help.
