Created attachment 247164 [details] Patch for the mplayer port to use ffmpeg6 Following a mail thread with Mikhail, let's revisit bug #270569 and see if mplayer can move to using ffmpeg6. Initial tests on both Mikhail's and my machines indicate the initial issues are overcome. It would be helpful if few additional folks could test the patch.
George, Daniel, could you give the attached patch a go?
The patch applies and the package builds; however, the resulting binary crashes immediately upon trying to play a movie: MPlayer interrupted by signal 11 in module: demux_open - MPlayer crashed by bad usage of CPU/FPU/RAM. Recompile MPlayer with --enable-debug and make a 'gdb' backtrace and disassembly. Details in DOCS/HTML/en/bugreports_what.html#bugreports_crash. - MPlayer crashed. This shouldn't happen. It can be a bug in the MPlayer code _or_ in your drivers _or_ in your gcc version. If you think it's MPlayer's fault, please read DOCS/HTML/en/bugreports.html and follow the instructions there. We can't and won't help unless you provide this information when reporting a possible bug. I suppose I could get a backtrace, but probably not until late tomorrow.
Seems to work with various formats on my dev box however I've only tested headless output (14.0, amd64). mplayer -benchmark -nosound -vo null filename.foo Best regards, Daniel
