[MPlayer-users] Too many video packets in the buffer: (4096 in 8105496 bytes). And stripes

[James Scott]

Hi All,

I upgraded mplayer (from 1.0-pre2 to the CVS version) to try and cure
a problem with spurious horizontal lines with -vo xv when the
horizontal resolution is greater than 1600. Anyway I still have the
lines, and I now have another problem:

mplayer  /dev/video0

A:   9.1 V:   1.8 A-V:  7.315 ct:  0.096  27/ 27 13%  2% 820.1% 26 0
Too many video packets in the buffer: (4096 in 8105496 bytes).
Maybe you are playing a non-interleaved stream/file or the codec failed?
For AVI files, try to force non-interleaved mode with the -ni option.

Broken frame at 0x6D200

at first the video is very slow, then when 'Broken frame' happens the
audio cuts out.

If I use -cache 32768 the problem goes away, but this is really
irritating because it's TV and that makes channel hopping difficult,
and it used to work. /dev/video0 is ivtv 0.6.1.

Any ideas?
