[mythtv-users] Occasional problem starting mplayer from MythVideo

I should probably post this over on an mplayer list, but since it is 
happening under Myth, I thought maybe someone here has seen this.

mplayer (1.0pre6-3.3.5) usually works when MythVideo starts an mpeg2, 
but when it doesn't, it tries to display an untitled window. Once the 
window is placed it immediately dissapears, so I do not know what it 
says. If I place it with clicking the mouse, the window dissapears, and 
I can try and select the video again. If I add "RandomPlacement" to my 
.twmrc so I don't have to get up and hit the mouse, I am not asked to 
place the untitled window, but Myth appears to be hung without some of 
the video selection screen redrawn.

When it is working, the "Trying to re-lock decoder" message is printed 
thousands of times, so when mplayer does not work the error would seem 
to be "X11 error: BadDrawable (invalid Pixmap or Window parameter)". 
Nothing odd appears in my Xorg.0.log.

I would say calling mplayer works about 9 times out of 10. My player 
settings for mplayer are "mplayer -fs -zoom -quiet -vo xvmc:deint-bob 
-vc ffmpeg212mc %s"

If someone knows how to get mplayer to fail without either requiring 
the untitled window be places, or locking up Myth, I'd be happy with 
that. If there is a way to get mplayer to not fail, that would be 
ideal. Any tips on getting the thousands of "re-lock decoder" errors 
from appearing in the logs would be appreciated as well. XvMC is 
otherwise working.

If this doesn't look familiar to anyone, I'll try the Unichrome or 
mplayer lists.

Thanks

MPlayer interrupted by signal 6 in module: vo_check_events
- 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.
