Random ffodivx crashes MPlayer r32848

[redxii]

Probably stems from this: http://gitorious.org/~astrange/ffmpeg/f ... 5d154281ff

It is random, each different video has its own problem with threads and framedrop. For instance, one video doesn't like 2 or 3 threads with frame drop, and 4 threads won't play at all. Another would work with 4 threads. These are supposed to be videos encoded by the same person. Sometimes if I am persistent, the video will play.

I tried running MPlayer from the command line and it doesn't crash with any combination of -lavdopts threads= or -framedrop. Has something to do with all the other stuff being passed to MPlayer thru SMPlayer I suppose. Not sure what yet.

New MPlayer builds have been released with the same problem. Anyone want to help?

Be sure to set in the Prefs to use the new MPlayer exe and set the threads to 2 or 4 or however many your CPU is capable of. Sometimes the file will play sometimes it won't.

The problem was with "Draw video using slices". Anyone using the latest installer/MPlayer and using multiple threads to decode and have problems with AVI/MPEG-4 should disabled that option in "General (Video)".
