When trying to open a dvb stream, mplayer-bin gives the following error: -------------------------------- MPlayer 1.0pre7try2-3.3.5-20050130 (C) 2000-2005 MPlayer Team CPU: Advanced Micro Devices (Family: 8, Stepping: 0) Detected cache-line size is 64 bytes CPUflags: MMX: 1 MMX2: 1 3DNow: 1 3DNow2: 1 SSE: 1 SSE2: 1 Compiled with runtime CPU detection - WARNING - this is not optimal!

Update: still having the same problem with mplayer-bin. But there's more, which may help explain the problem (though I still can't explain it.) I tried installing mplayer in a 32bit chroot with exactly the same USE flags... same problem. So I set up a bootable 32bit system with exactly the same USE flags. I boot into it, recompile mplayer, and mplayer dvb runs fine. If I mount that SAME SYSTEM as a chroot (making sure /proc /dev and my home are mounted in the chroot) I get the same "can't detect tuner type" error as in mplayer-bin. Can anyone explain this?
The kernel dvb drivers are apparently not cross-bit safe. There's not a whole lot I can do about it, unfortunately. I don't even have access to any dvb hardware.
slightly old bug, please test w/newer versions and report back if same issue is still present. thanks, Ryan
