MPlayer crashes with MPEG-1/2 video + OpenGL

[Midzuki]

Happens with both the one-year old build that I've just deleted and the latest r37926. Other types of video (Xvid, HEVC, H.264, VC-1, etc) do not make MPlayer crash when I choose -vo gl or -vo gl_nosw.

:confused:

MPlayer interrupted by signal 11 in module: filter video
- MPlayer crashed by bad usage of CPU/FPU/RAM.
Recompile MPlayer with --enable-debug and make a 'gdb' backtrace and
disassembly. Details in DOCS/HTML/en/bugreports_what.html#bugreports_crash.


- MPlayer crashed. This shouldn't happen.

:rolleyes:

You could try adding "-vc mpeg12" to the command-line.

Been there, seen that it doesn't work.
The latest builds by Redxii don't even include mpeg12 anymore :scared:
Anyway, I don't expect the problem to be fixed anytime soon (if ever).
I just would like to understand how-&-why OpenGL on Windows fails with only one video decoder 0_o
With -vo directx or -vo direct3d, it's not possible to adjust the brightness, contrast, saturation, etc. of the image.

[Midzuki]

Not an actual solution, but I have just switched to mpv :devil:

(finally — OR until MPlayer gets fixed).

Maybe the problem occurs only with a specific color format and/or a specific resolution?

You could try with and without "direct rendering" enabled (-dr switch). Also, the "gl" renderer has various sub-options that you could try, such as the "yuv" modes.

(Could also be a driver issue. Way back, when I still was using an ATI card, the ATI drivers were notorious for breaking the gl renderer)
