Hi there. I just filed a bug report [0] in Debian's BTS saying that I am unable to play a video downloaded from youtube [1], whose dimensions are 2542x1080.
[0]: http://bugs.debian.org/670236 [1]: http://youtu.be/yQ5U8suTUw0 Unfortunately, I have not been able to play said video (which I got with youtube-dl) on my Intel computers (I have one AMD, but it is not accessible right now to test), and, reading the source code of mplayer2 (or mplayer, for that matter), I saw that the limitation to play videos come from the dimensions of the buffers that XV reports to the player. In particular, mplayer2 tells me that it can only play videos with a maximum resolution of 2048x2048 pixels, and the execution of mplayer2 is aborted at that point. So, my question is: is this a limitation in software or is this an intrinsic limitation of the hardware that Intel releases? For the record, I see this behavior on motherboards that have a 865 (a desktop) and a Sandy Bridge (notebook) chipset. Any help with this would be welcome.
