[MPlayer-users] Mplayer SEGFAULTS on decoding Win-PVR-250 MPEG

[Robert Bradbury]

It looks like this may be a recent problem.  mplayer-1.0_rc2_26300-r1 from
gentoo will properly read video0 and play the mpeg stream.

MPlayer dev-SVN-r26361-4.2.3 gets a SEGFAULT when opening/playing video0
(WinPVR-250) on the same machine with the same instantiation of Linux.
