Hi, Just to let you know: on 9 december, MPlayer 1.0-pre3 was released and rereleased (the first version didn't even compile on any big-endian architecture.)
It looks like the colour problems of the previous version have been fixed (mlib is mentioned in the long changelog), but stability is terrible compared to -pre2. Arguably, only fixing the compilation problems is not all :) It repeatedly crashes: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ /usr/src/MPlayer-1.0pre3/mplayer -ao null ./returnoftheking_nl480_dl.mov ... MPlayer interrupted by signal 10 in module: decode_video - MPlayer crashed. This shouldn't happen. [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ /usr/src/MPlayer-1.0pre3/mplayer -ao null rtsp://streams.omroep.nl/tv/tros/2vandaag/bb.tyler.rm ... MPlayer interrupted by signal 10 in module: open_stream - MPlayer crashed. This shouldn't happen. I hope there'll be another rerelease for Sparc. :) As a sidenote, when KDE's sound daemon artsd is active, mplayer says: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ /usr/src/MPlayer-1.0pre3/mplayer ./Royksopp\ -\ Remind\ Me\ \(DK\ Yankz\).avi ... audio_setup: Can't open audio device /dev/dsp: Device or resource busy ao_nas: init(): Can't open nas audio server -> nosound SDL: Samplerate: 44100Hz Channels: Stereo Format Signed 16-bit (Big-Endian) Killed It is killed because my kernel (Debian's 2.4.21) oopses: Dec 11 13:24:41 cruithne kernel: Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference Dec 11 13:24:41 cruithne kernel: tsk->{mm,active_mm}->context = 000000000000072a Dec 11 13:24:41 cruithne kernel: tsk->{mm,active_mm}->pgd = fffff80014a84000 Dec 11 13:24:41 cruithne kernel: \|/ ____ \|/ Dec 11 13:24:41 cruithne kernel: "@'/ .. \`@" Dec 11 13:24:41 cruithne kernel: /_| \__/ |_\ Dec 11 13:24:41 cruithne kernel: \__U_/ Dec 11 13:24:41 cruithne kernel: mplayer(5701): Oops Is this normal?
