Attached is a patch for mplayer plugin which closes file descriptors (except 0, 1, 2) when forking mplayer script.

I have tried the patch with several attempts now and everything worked fine. The timer was triggered & started recording while the mplayer playback was uninterrupted. No crashes, no problems as far as I can tell.

I'd like to express great thanks that you've taken the time to fix this bug as it's been a huge problem for a long time!

Nice to hear that :)

I hadn't previously investigated this further, as I have a multiple-card system, so I had only experienced minor problems because of this.
