Description Franklin Moody 2005-09-11 20:27:21 UTC

Mplayer added support for playing tivo streams several releases back.  1.0pre7
apparently broke the demuxer in some way that caused mplayer to choose an
incorrect audio codec (pcm instead of mp3) and crash.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Play a tivo stream file with mplayer.  'mplayer test.ty+'

Actual Results:  
Opening audio decoder: [pcm] Uncompressed PCM audio decoder

Mplayer interrupted by signal 11 in module: init_audio_codec

Expected Results:  
Opening audio decoder: [mp3lib] MPEG layer-2, layer-3
<And normal mplayer behavior afterward>


Mplayer CVS already has the fix and I'll be attaching the patch which I've
already tried out successfully.

Is this limited to tivo files? 
After compiling said version of mplayer I get the same symptoms as described here, but when playing an Xvid.

Comment 3 Franklin Moody 2006-01-31 19:03:08 UTC

The patch that fixes the issue only affects the tivo stream demuxer, IIRC, so I would expect that it wouldn't affect the xvid files as well.  The identifying symptom with this bug is the misidentification of the audio stream and the sig 11 is just fallout from that.

Cleaning out old bugs, please reopen if this is still an issue with newer versions of mplayer (>=pre8)

Thanks Franklin, Danny
