[MPlayer-users] Black Screen on Chapter Switch

[Aaron Greenspan]

Hello,

Here is the command line output. You can see the chapter change because 
each time there is a new "VDec: vo config request." When the screen 
doesn't go black and stay black, there's still a very noticeable bright 
green frame that flickers in and out, I guess as the video stream is 
being re-initialized.

Adding the -framedrop parameter usually made the player last through one 
chapter change with a mere flicker before going black on the next one 
approximately four-five minutes later.
