Comment 1 Chris White (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2004-10-23 22:49:01 UTC 
I need to know what version of MPlayer you are running first...
Comment 2 Ulf Dreyer 2004-10-25 08:10:45 UTC 
Bug happens with both mplayer 1.0_pre4-r7 and _pre5-r4

BUT

Some more info after even more testing:
-mpeg is not really a fix for the problem:

I can more or less reliably fix the bug (at least for some time)
by changing output-plugins on mplayer.

It SEEMS that oss-output ist more prone to this bug than
arts or alsa plugins. However it happens too with arts.
I've not found out, what exactly triggers the reappearing
of this bug.

Sorry that I can give you so few infos :(
Comment 3 Chris White (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2004-11-08 21:59:09 UTC 
Can you please paste the output of:

emerge -pv mplayer ?

I'd like to see if there are any strange processor specific flags that are setting
this off.  Can you also try with -O2 instead of -O3?
Comment 4 Chris White (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2004-11-21 22:37:46 UTC 
Please re-open once you've given the information requested.
Comment 5 Maximilian Judtmann 2004-12-22 15:30:01 UTC 
I've got a similar problem with mplayer-1.0_pre5-r5.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.emerge mplayer
2.gmplayer some.vid
3.crash

Note:
"mplayer some.vid" works without any problems.

Comment 6 Maximilian Judtmann 2004-12-22 16:04:44 UTC 
Using CFLAGS="-march=pentium4 -O2" solves the problem for me.
