Recently, after some updates of emerge world, my mplayer started to crash when playing WMV files. Tried to re-emerge, to no avail Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Use mplayer to play WMV files Actual Results: I get this error: Playing Desktop/myst.wmv. Cache fill: 0,00% (0 bytes) ASF file format detected. VIDEO: [WMV2] 480x320 24bpp ========================================================================== Opening audio decoder: [ffmpeg] FFmpeg/libavcodec audio decoders MPlayer interrupted by signal 11 in module: init_audio_codec - MPlayer crashed by bad usage of CPU/FPU/RAM. Recompile MPlayer with --enable-debug and make a 'gdb' backtrace and disassembly. Details in DOCS/HTML/en/bugreports_what.html#bugreports_crash. - MPlayer crashed. This shouldn't happen. 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.

It may be win32codecs. I'd emerge sync and make sure the latest win32codecs ( 20040916-r1 I believe ) are installed. Once that's done I'd re-emerge MPlayer for good measure. Let me know if there's still issues.
Played a .wmv file just now just fine. Assuming the problem is fixed so I'm closing the bug.
(In reply to comment #1) > It may be win32codecs. With mplayer-1.0_pre8-r1 using win32codecs-20060611 (all compiled with win32codecs USE-flag of course) I got a signal 11 as well, also only when playing *.wmv files, other video formats worked fine (strange enough since wmv seems to be a container, not a format of its own). Eventually I found that the 'cpudetection' USE-flag was causing this error (doublechecked, I'm sure). Compiling mplayer with cpudetection off solved this problem which maybe a CPU-dependant error: 1Ghz Athlon T-bird.
