However, softplay wouldn't work properly with the XVid files I tried, only showing a few corrupt frames. I'm pretty sure it's an ffmpeg problem because there were similar problems with some things I've been doing myself with ffmpeg lately - I haven't got as far as displaying the frames, but it does seem to keep stalling while decoding and the Debian package version was complaining about "VOP not coded" all the time.
Which version of xvidcore are you using? The problem I have with softplay is with a mpeg2 file that plays correctly with MPlayer using libmpeg2 but only gives a black screen with corrupted audio on softplay. Start and stop works ok.
1.1.0-beta2. It's a Debian package, but I also downloaded a tarball today which is the same version.
So will there be a new softdevice and softplay compatible with the latest ffmpeg soon?
I'm using soft[device|play] and ffmpeg, all CVS of 20050905. No problem with freezing at all. Have you tried CVS of soft[device|play]?
No, I was stupid not to think of CVS softdevice. I don't think I'll get a chance to mess around with it all again until next week.
