Bug 254823 – mplayer-1.0_rc2_p28058-r1 returns successfully after failure

• Status: RESOLVED UPSTREAM
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Jaak Ristioja 2009-01-13 13:14:27 UTC]

This is what I get after SIGTERMing the mplayer process (mplayer 'videostream or some large video file' -dumpstream -dumpfile tmpfile ; echo "Terminated with status $?"):

MPlayer interrupted by signal 2 in module: dumpstream
Core dumped ;)

Exiting... (End of file)
Terminated with status 0

Sometimes I also get these lines before the "core dumped" success message:

read error:: Interrupted system call
pre-header read failed

Created attachment 178358 [details, diff]
mplayer-async-quit.diff

A patch to fix this. Appears to work.

I also filed this upstream: http://bugzilla.mplayerhq.hu/show_bug.cgi?id=1383

I have also noticed mplayer returning successfully after printing the erronous "read error:: Resource temporarily unavailable" message to the standard error output before. However, I'm not quite sure yet whether this happens immediately before exiting, but I'm looking into it.

I was wrong about this, everything was *kind of OK* with this actually, nevermind these two comments please.

I'm not exactly sure this is an error.  I'll leave Reimar decide anyway.
