Hello,
I had the problem, that about 50% of my videos suddenly stopped working and
became choppy at playback (for several months now, but I had no time to check
it earlier). However I didn't know whether that was caused by an update of
mplayer, freevo or any other component.
Afer some hours of debugging I found the cuplrit:
video/plugins/mplayer.py, line 257:
if self.version >= 1 and item['deinterlace']:
additional_args += [ '-vf', 'pp=de/fd' ]
elif item['deinterlace']:
additional_args += [ '-vop', 'pp=fd' ]
elif self.version >= 1:
additional_args += [ '-vf', 'pp=de' ]
The last elif adds the video-filter to all mplayer video playbacks. Commenting
this out solved the problem and now all of my videos work again, with a
maximum of 60% CPU (before all of the choppy ones played back at 100% CPU).
So everything stopped working after I did a debian update of mplayer from 0.9
to 1.0x some months ago.
Probably this only applies to my setup (Epia M9000, Debian Sid with Xfree, VIA
binary drivers, SPDIF-Out with resampling, Kernel 2.6.8.1-epia1) and only for
some types of video. However I doubt that, and I dont't think that it is a
good idea to apply video filters without being configured to do so in the
local_conf.
Cheers,
Magnus
