mplayer can't handle password protected .rar and hangs, while unrar waits for a password (which it never gets). Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. get a password protected .rar file containing an .avi with the same basename (test.rar containing test.avi) 2. mplayer test.avi Actual Results: mplayer hangs Expected Results: mplayer should either ask for a password or skip the file stating that it can't handle password protected files strace mplayer test.avi: [...] access("/usr/bin/unrar", R_OK|X_OK) = 0 access("./test.rar", R_OK) = 0 pipe([3, 5]) = 0 clone(child_stack=0, flags=CLONE_CHILD_CLEARTID|CLONE_CHILD_SETTID|SIGCHLD, child_tidptr=0x7f0164d10830) = 6575 close(5) = 0 fcntl(3, F_GETFL) = 0 (flags O_RDONLY) fstat(3, {st_mode=S_IFIFO|0600, st_size=0, ...}) = 0 mmap(NULL, 4096, PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE, MAP_PRIVATE|MAP_ANONYMOUS, -1, 0) = 0x7f0164d42000 lseek(3, 0, SEEK_CUR) = -1 ESPIPE (Illegal seek) read(3, "\nUNRAR 3.80 freeware Copyrig"..., 4096) = 67 read(3, [ebuild R ] media-video/mplayer-1.0_rc2_p20090530 USE="3dnow 3dnowext X a52 aac aalib alsa amrnb amrwb ass cddb cdio cdparanoia dirac dts dv dvd dvdnav enca encode faac faad fbcon gif iconv jack jpeg ladspa live lzo mad mmx mmxext mng mp2 mp3 nemesi network opengl osdmenu png pnm rar rtc samba schroedinger shm speex sse sse2 tga theora tremor truetype unicode vorbis x264 xanim xinerama xscreensaver xv xvid xvmc (-altivec) -bidi -bindist -bl -cpudetection -custom-cflags -custom-cpuopts -debug -dga -directfb -doc -dvb -dxr3 -esd -ftp -ggi -gmplayer -ipv6 -joystick -libcaca -lirc -md5sum -musepack -nas -nut -openal -oss -pulseaudio -pvr -quicktime -radio (-real) -sdl -ssse3 (-svga) -teletext -v4l -v4l2 -vdpau (-vidix) (-win32codecs) -zoran" VIDEO_CARDS="-mga -nvidia -s3virge -tdfx -vesa" 8,015 kB
Not much we can do, you're best handling this upstream as it's a feature request, not a build / runtime problem.
