Bug 87949 – mplayer crashes after it is unpaused if xscreensaver runs

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED NEEDINFO

[Description Sumit Khanna 2005-04-04 12:31:25 UTC]

I have the following options in my /etc/mplayer.conf:

vo=sdl  
ao=alsa
fs=yes
vm=yes 
stop-xscreensaver=yes

Most important is the stop-xscreensaver. I am using these versions:

mplayer-1.0_pre6-r1
xscreensaver-4.20

I am using Gnome 2.10 (although I had the same problem with Gnome 2.8) and I have my xscreensaver to blank after 10 min, cycle after 10 min, lock my screen after 15 min, power standby after 10min, suspend after 15 min and off after 20 min.

If I run mplayer, pause it, let the screensaver run, come back and unlock my screen, and then unpause mplayer, it crashes like so:

A:2153.3 V:2153.3 A-V:  0.017 ct: -0.213 51602/51599 12% 15%  1.4% 23 0 49%

X11 error: BadWindow (invalid Window parameter)


MPlayer interrupted by signal 6 in module: stop_xscreensaver
- 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.

This happens when I play AVIs, DVDs, Mpegs, whatever. I didn't use to happen before. I'm not exactly sure which mplayer release this started with. 

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Play a movie with mplayer
2. Pause movie
3. Wait for xscreensaver to lock screen
4. Unlock Screen 
5. Unpause mplayer

Actual Results:  
Mplayer would crash. I'm not sure if it still crashes if I don't wait long
enough for the screen to lock. I need to test that. It's imporant also to note
that mplayer is in a window at this point when I pause it. I'm not sure if this
happens if I keep it full screened.

Expected Results:  
Played normally

[Comment 1 Luca Barbato 2005-08-04 11:02:18 UTC]

is the issue still present in the pre7?

[Comment 2 Chris Connett 2005-09-26 16:38:42 UTC]

I too experience the same bug.  Here is the error at the end of mplayer's
console output:

Is this bug still present in recent versions?
