MPV is an mplayer2 fork (which was [until development stalled] a fork of/drop-in replacement for mplayer), and seems to be pretty well supported on FreeBSD. It's pretty featureful (10-bit video and whatnot), and has a relatively fast development cycle (particularly compared to the crawl mplayer operates at), though it's at the expense of losing mencoder. Some of the command-line flags have been changed as well, which may require tweaking in your work-related tools (if they can be tweaked). Barring that, I'd recompile with debug flags and run in gdb/lldb. Wait till it locks, C-c, 'bt'. It's almost certainly some manner of deadlock if you're stuck in urdlck, which may be a bug in mplayer's threading or in pthreads. Either way, it'd help to know where the problem lock is. --- Elliot Robinson PGP Key: 9FEDE59A On Sat, Aug 23, 2014 at 8:17 AM, Da Rock < freebsd-questions@herveybayaustralia.com.au> wrote: > Yet another problem in the new install saga - thankfully I have a mostly > useable machine now. > > This issue hasn't been a high priority on the list - until now.
