After upgrading to mplayer-1.0.20060217 I started to get all kinds of strange errors. Most of them are related to H.264. This one is not related to anything. After mplayer reaches the end of a file (avi, mpeg, mkv, it doesn't matter) it crashes. Here is a typical mplayer session: griever@cloud ~ $ mplayer /fat32/chin2.avi MPlayer dev-CVS-060217-12:46-3.4.4 (C) 2000-2006 MPlayer Team CPU: Advanced Micro Devices Sempron/Athlon MP/XP Thoroughbred; Duron Applebred (Family: 6, Stepping: 1) CPUflags: MMX: 1 MMX2: 1 3DNow: 1 3DNow2: 1 SSE: 1 SSE2: 0 Compiled for x86 CPU with extensions: MMX MMX2 3DNow 3DNowEx SSE Warning unknown option aamaxwidth at line 11 Warning unknown option aamaxheight at line 12 Warning unknown option aadimmul at line 13 Warning unknown option aaboldmul at line 14 91 audio & 206 video codecs Playing /fat32/chin2.avi.

It can be a bug in the MPlayer code _or_ in your drivers _or_ in your gcc version. If you think it's MPlayer's fault, please read DOCS/HTML/en/bugreports.html and follow the instructions there. We can't and won't help unless you provide this information when reporting a possible bug. The error is _very_ consistent! It always happens ;) Calculating dependencies ...done!

Nuke your configuration file and please provide a sample to test if it isn't fixing it. You may try a newer snapshot.
Deleting the configuration file seemed to fix it, so I tried to discover the option from my old configuration file that produced the error. After a little while I figured it was "-freetype" Running mplayer with "-freetype" produces the error I mentioned at the end of the file. For completeness, the command line options I tried were: mplayer -vo xv -ao alsa -double -fontconfig some.file.avi mplayer -fontconfig some.file.avi Providing a sample seems redundant since, as I said, it happens on all the files I have. If you really, really want a sample I will try to find a small file but as I said it is not related to any particular file. I am also compiling mplayer-1.0.20060302 right now. I'll tell you if it has the same problem.
I forgot to post this: griever@cloud ~ $ eix ^freetype$ * media-libs/freetype Available versions: 1.3.1-r4 ~1.3.1-r5 2.1.9-r1 ~2.1.10 Installed: 1.3.1-r4 2.1.9-r1 Homepage: http://www.freetype.org/ Description: A high-quality and portable font engine
It seems that mplayer-1.0.20060302 doesn't compile here (see bug 128498), so right now I can't test if -freetype works correctly there.
First of all, I have used -freetype in my previous comments. I really meant -fontconfig... There's no -freetype option for mplayer. Second, I have emerged mplayer-1.0.20060302 and it still has the same problem.
I had same problem with the latest snapshot in portage: mplayer-1.0.20060302. But today I took mplayer from cvs and it does not have such problem. So either problem is fixed cvs and next bump solve the issue or it sits in the way gentoo cook mplayer. :)
I'll try to update the snapshot soon then. MPlayer is served as fresh as possible with no alteration at all =)
I have just emerged mplayer-1.0.20060408 and the bug seems to be fixed in that snapshot. This bug report can be closed now. Many thanks ;)
Perfect
