ArcaOS hangs after mplayer has ended

[JantjieVdBerge]

I use mplayer version 1.4-9.1.0 (mplayer-1.4-9.1.0.zip from hobbes.nmsu.edu) to play videos. In my ArcaOS 5.0.3 Panorama is installed with standard parameters. Playing videos with this mplayer works fine until the video is ended or the mplayer is terminated with [ESC]. Then the operating system hangs and only pressing -- for some seconds lets me get out of this situation.

Steps To Reproduce:

using of mplayer version 1.4-9.1.0 (mplayer-1.4-9.1.0.zip

• mplayer.exe   
• wait until the end of the video     or   

• terminate mplayer with [ESC] ---> the system hangs and reboot is necessary

  • mplayer.exe   - kill the mplayer process BEFORE the video has ended ---> after some seconds the operating system is usable again and no reboot is necessary

WORKAROUND:

Changing Panorama configuration as follows:

• System Setup
  • Screen
  • unselect: "Enable Shadow Buffer"

After reboot with disabled shadow buffer now I can use mplayer without flaws

The disadvantage of this workaround: Moving of windows on the desktop becomes very slow.

Thank you for your support. Kind regards Wolfgang

Hi/2.

How about using -vo kva:dive or -vo kva:vman ?

Thank you for the quick reply. The parameter -vo kva:dive caused me to get rid of the annoying problem. So far I used only a computer with SNAP driver. There the problem did not arise.

Kind regards Wolfgang
