I recently downloaded MPlayer and usually it works fine, but recently its started to crash on me. What happens is i play a video file, then make it full screen, then minimize the GUI and it gives me an error.......
MPlayer interrupted by signal 11 in module: decode_video
and then it closes MPlayer. Has anyone else had this problem? It only crashes with certain files, usually files i downloaded from lime wire, could this be the problem?
Dude - It sounds like your source file is incomplete. Try this: forget about full screening, etc. Just open Mplayer and start playing the file. If the same file crashes in the same place each time, then it's corrupt. Given that you're pulling files from Limewire, and those file are of uncertain origin, it probably would not be surprising if some of them were incomplete and/or corrupt, and just wouldn't be playable on Mplayer. If so, the problem is with the file, not Mplayer. Personally, my experience is that Mplayer is super solid. -- J.W.
I thought it might be the file thats corrupt but it rarely crashes at the same point, in fact it usually plays all the way through unless i make it full screen and then minimize it which is strange. It plays the files i downloaded from iMesh fine but gets tempromental with lime wire files.
its gotta be somethin to do with lime wire i reckon
