Pause --- Resume Fails on Xubuntu 11.10

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Play a movie .mkv, avi
2. Pause playback with spacebar
3. Wait 5 minutes and press spacebar to resume

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

Playback resumes for what seems to be a fraction of a second and stops. To 
resume I need to press the left arrow key. This moves the slider representing 
the time elapsed to the 00:00 (start) but playback carries on from just before 
the original pause position and the slider then updates to the correct resume 
position.

Problem is with pause -- resume 

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
xubuntu 11.10
gnome-mplayer 1.0.4
MPlayer SVN-r33713-4.6.1
3.0.0-13-generic #22-Ubuntu SMP
ATI flgrx closed source driver with ATI 5750
Pulseaudio with M-Audio 2496

Please provide any additional information below.

Set to Alsa audio output and GL2 Video output.

Not a major problem but a bug non the less.

Can you try either 1.0.5b1 or the SVN code, as alot of the code was reworked. 
But there may be some seeking issues still.

Build instructions are here:

The seeking issue has been fixed in SVN (gmtk)

BTW, yes still some seeking issues. If you click on the seek bar to move to a 
position the bar control sometimes does not fix under the mouse cursor but ends 
up somewhere else, left or right of the click.

Yes, and that is the problem I fixed this morning.

Now running 1.0.5b2 and pause resume still not working. If you pause with 
space, wait some minutes and press space again, it does not resume.

Can you run gnome-mplayer -v from a terminal and see if there is any error 
message. You can paste it in here and I will examine if needed. I normally do 
this type of activity. I'll watch a video, have to pause to take a call and 
resume, so I don't believe I have experienced this issue.

Here is the terminal output on an mkv movie. The pause --resume fail output is 
the media state change warning(s) at the end of this output.

BTW, seeking with mouse now works in 1.0.5b2, Thankyou. :)

I previously used the mplayer-gui on fedora with no issues but it seems to have 
been dropped in 11.10 ubuntu distros so switched to your front end. I don't 
care for vlc for some reason.

I tested it a couple of times, waiting about 10 mins between presses of space 
bar and could not duplicate your issue. 

You might try changing the ao to the specific device or to pulse if pulseaudio 
is running.

aplay -l 

will give you a list of devices, and that list should be similar to the drop 
down.

I'm using 

MPlayer SVN-r34400-4.6.2 

Your version is not that old, but you might try upgrading if possible.

Run OS support for SSE check only for runtime CPU detection.

It is pointless to run it otherwise and it causes issues
on OSes where we have not implemented a way to check.

I switched to mplayer2 but that still has the same problem. I'll keep trying 
various things. BTW which do you think is the better, the original mplayer or 
mplayer2 which claims to have better code and fixes ?

Original comment by david.dm...@gmail.com on 10 Dec 2011 at 12:18

[GoogleCodeExporter]

I think mplayer and mplayer2 are pretty similar, there are some features in 
mplayer2 (around pause) that appear to be more consistent and gnome-mplayer 
should take advantage of them. But for day to day use I have not noticed a huge 
difference and I have both on my machine.

Original comment by kdeko...@gmail.com on 10 Dec 2011 at 3:23

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Does mplayer by itself have this issue? Can you post a log of mplayer -v 
playing a video, pausing it, letting it sit for a few minutes and then resuming 
it?

Also this error concerns me a little

ERROR: mplayer: Symbol `ff_codec_bmp_tags' has different size in shared object,

Original comment by kdeko...@gmail.com on 11 Dec 2011 at 4:18

[GoogleCodeExporter]

OK, looks like the same faults occurs at command line with mplayer2. See 
attached file. The resume fail happened on the last pause at the end before I 
quit but no extra output compared to a successful pause-resume. So I guess this 
bug is elsewhere.
