Since the stable ffmpeg-0.10 upgrade mplayer2 (I am running media-video/mplayer2-2.0_p20111126) no longer can utilize the crystalhd decoder-hardware --> no video shown. Downgrading to ffmpeg-0.7.8 and mplayer2'S -vc switch works fine again for crystalhd --> the video is playing fine.

Noticed that ffmpeg-0.10.2 already got stable for amd64 and tried it out. But it has the same problem with crystalhd as ffmpeg-0.10.

nope, unfortunately not. this is no mplayer or mplayer2 switch. I think it relates to http://lists.mplayerhq.hu/pipermail/mplayer-users/2012-February/084227.html
'mkay, I think the issue is fixed upstream with this commit: http://git.videolan.org/?p=ffmpeg.git;a=commit;h=1318b143796d4eafe1a726e8f08186ce587f7c86 Date of the commit is 25.03. So this should be in v0.10.3 which has been released 2 days ago? I'll test this again as soon as ffmpeg gets bumped in portage.
ok, tested crystalhd playback with ffmpeg-0.10.3, but the bug is still there. Seems the commit http://git.videolan.org/?p=ffmpeg.git;a=commit;h=1318b143796d4eafe1a726e8f08186ce587f7c86 did not get into ffmpeg-0.10.3. However, next I tried media-video/ffmpeg-9999 and crystalhd playback works again! So this issue should be fixed in the next major release of ffmpeg?

So this issue should be fixed in the next major release of ffmpeg? this should be fixed by using hard masked versions of ffmpeg, please try that. closing as this will be automagically fixed when ffmpeg gets unmasked
Correct. Using hard masked 1.04 or 1.1.2 resolves this issue.
