One movie fails to play properly when using TT full featured card, VDR (1.3.22), MPlayer plugin (0.9.11), mplayer (1.0 pre 6 with codes from Feb 2005) and mplayer.sh (0.8.6). Audio stutters constantly.
However, using following command the audio does not stutter: mplayer -vf expand=720:576 -vo mpegpes -ao mpegpes <avi-file>
Please set DEBUG=true (see the end of mplayer.sh.conf) and provide the log entries when playing this file via mplayer.sh.
OK. Here's the log of first attempt which always fails to play any video clip:

Do mean to say that this happens on every first attempt to play a specific file? If so, this is highly unusual. Where are those video files located (e.g. on an NFS or SMb share? How is it mounted? On boot or per automounter)? Please try to run
'mplayer -identify vo null -ao null -frames 0 /your/video.avi'
and post the error message.

Tried again the same command and result was exactly the same so luckily the problem seems to be repeatable.
Sorry my fault - I forgot a dash (-) in the aboce command. Please retry with 'mplayer -identify -vo null -ao null -frames 0 /your/video.avi'
Possibly. Try to set USE_SPEED="false" and see if that helps. If so, please report back.
Unfortunately it did not solve the problem (the speed parameter was not used anymore). I tried it earlier too. Here's the command line:
Apr 13 21:22:01 backup logger: *** DEBUG: Variable CMDLINE has value "/usr/local/bin/mplayer -vo mpegpes -ao mpegpes -vop lavc=5000:25,expand=688:576:-1:-1:1,scale=688:563 -cache 8192 -slave -nolirc -subpos 80 -sub-bg-color 0 -sub-bg-alpha 255 -quiet "
Hmm, perhaps your CPU isn't fast enough. What kind of CPU do you use and at what frequency does it run?
Cheers, Juri
