I'm having trouble with mplayer with HD stations too (in particular Nine and Ten in Melbourne Australia). It'll quit very shortly after starting with:
size restrictions for [EMAIL PROTECTED] or MPEG1 exceeded! (1440x1088)
If I run dvb:/// and tune to that program, it will keep playing but the
video breaks up badly every few seconds. If I capture some data to disk and play it back the video seems quite slow, and still gives the above
messages. The captured file plays ok in Xine though.
I've got a Duron 1.2 GHz; playing back the HD file takes about 55% of the CPU, according to top. About 35% in xine.
*g*
Mplayer doesn't like HDTV streams as they are, try to rescale the movie before playing it:
mplayer -vf scale=720:400 hdtv.ts
playback should be smoother, but it will keep on complaining about the resolution :(
I don't know what else to do about it at the moment, try to browse the mplayer-users ML archive.
is this known, has this been reported to the mplayer developers?
