Just "worked out" your problem... at least I know the cure, not the problem.
Delete your ~/.divxPlayer/DivXPlayer.dbf file (in your home directory). I'm not sure why it does this, but it plays once great, but yes, when you start it up the second time, it segfaults just like you said. Annoying I know, but I don't know the solution either :-) Nice looking player though ... You will have to delete this file each time you start up the player :-/ Greetings Ralph On Mon, 20 May 2002, Ralph Slooten wrote: > Hi there, > > On Mon, 20 May 2002, Brian Koppe wrote: > > > Hey everyone, I just installed the DivX codec and player in ML 8.2.
