I just did some tests. Your patch didn't help, but I found a way to
reliably lock it up.
It seems to be an issue of the amount of output of mplayer. If I play a
Quicktime movie, there seems to be more output then with other file
formats. Without '-quiet' and with debugging output of my script, mplayer
reliably locks up. If I use '-quiet -really-quiet' and disable debugging,
it works.
wc counts:
to much output:
# /video/plugins/mplayer.sh /videos/diverses/Nemesis_Teaser_big.mov 2>&1|wc
191 4066 21972
working:
# /video/plugins/mplayer.sh /videos/diverses/Nemesis_Teaser_big.mov 2>&1|wc
89 476 3479
Here we have less then 4k of characters. Does this ring a bell?
Thanks,
Juri
