SM player crashes when playback of some avi files.

I believe it has o do with the ac3/audio codecs??

HELP - Thanks

I think mplayer crashes when using some audio filters and "AC3/DTS pass-through S/PDIF". So disable them (scaletempo and equalizer).

Seems that the mplayer is quite old.

If the spdif pass-through and the filter disable does not resolve the crash and still have ac3 errors... I do not remember from which version the ac3 issues did appear but the latest sherpya builds do have the ac3 "crc error" issue fixed: http://oss.netfarm.it/mplayer-win32.php
