Description Xabier Guitian 2003-02-25 20:19:06 UTC
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.

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.
