[MPlayer-users] Problem: Mplayer1rc1 - vo ivtv ao ivtv ac hwmpa stops after 4 seconds

[Maik 'MaDMaik' Danstedt]

Good morning,

I've got a problem using mplayer with output via a PVR-350 TV-Card.
My System is an Intel Celeron 850 MHz, 512 MB RAM, on board GPU (VIA 
VT8623 [Apollo CLE266]) and Sound (VIA VT8623 [Apollo CLE266]). 
TV-Card is Hauppauge PVR-350.
OS is ctvdr5 (Debian sarge based) with kernel 2.6.18.1, ivtv0.8.0, 
mplayer 1rc1.

The PC is used as a multimedia center with vdr (1.4.3) and 
vdr-plugin-mplayer. I've got a couple of .avi videos I'd like to play 
on the TV-Screen. The command used that should play audio and video 
is:
/usr/bin/mplayer -vo ivtv -ao ivtv -ac hwmpa -vop 
lavc=5000:30,expand=640:480:-1:-1:1,scale=640:469 -framedrop -cache 
4096 -lircconf /etc/lircrc -subpos 80 -sub-bg-color 
0 -sub-bg-alpha -v -osdlevel 0 /u01/video/myvideo.avi

The behaviour is that video output starts, sound is not heard and 
after 4 seconds of playing mplayer freezes - reproducible not 
depending on the video file.

Video alone works fine, using -ao alsa gets me sound but using that 
solution needs to set the -delay option which seems to depend on full 
moon for the right setting.

I need some help on this please.


regards,
	Maik
