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. It can be a bug in the MPlayer code _or_ in your drivers _or_ in your gcc version. If you think it's MPlayer's fault, please read DOCS/HTML/en/bugreports.html and follow the instructions there. We can't and won't help unless you provide this information when reporting a possible bug. I tried it on .mp4 files and on a .mov file. Compiling it with ffmpeg-3.4 instead of ffmpeg-4 solves the problem. Now I was told that anyway I had better switch to mpv. So I see two possible courses of action: - Keep mplayer and compile it with ffmpeg-3.4, which requires us to keep also this older ffmpeg package around. - Drop mplayer, and replace it by mpv (there is a field in the package definition to indicate this). What do you think? Andreas
