Some kind of mov files can make mplayer crash, especialy those that change the codec "on the fly", one of these is at www.theanimatrix.com, the patch was submited on the mplayer-users list but i've seen it only in that list, so i send it to you with a patch and an ebuild. hope it's ok it's my first one. greetings. xabier Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. download animatrix mov file from www.theanimatrix.com 2. play it with mplayer 0.90 rc4 or old 3. crashes Actual Results: it crashes when the scan for parts detects "on the fly" codec change Expected Results: play it normaly BTW, with this mov it always get some delay because it contains two audio track wich mplayer plays simulaneously, i don't know how to fix it sorry, but it plays it at least. Let me say it's NO my patch it's A'rpi's one, but it has only been publishe on the mplayer-users list

Its not an official or even a patch that will hit cvs, as its a hack that Arpi did himself. I did mail to mplayer-dev about this, and up until now have not gotten a responce. I will this not be adding this, as it was not tested for regression or anything. Until there is an official non hacked solution, users will have to patch local. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 15180 ***
