I made some research and found that mplayer crash only if I have "menu=1" in config or if I run it with -menu.

Without that key it works perfectly.

The version in Cauldron is newer if you want to try it.
Comment 7 marco 2014-03-27 12:30:10 CET
hi , I've try but there are a lot of dependence needed to install from cauldron and I can't play too much with my work pc.

I can made a vm , but if U have a working cauldron install U can simply try running mplayer -menu <somefile> and see if it core dump.

I don't have any x86_64 to test it on (it works fine on i586).  Your best bet would be to rebuild the Cauldron package on Mageia 4, rather than trying to install the binary RPM directly.
Comment 9 marco 2014-03-28 11:14:54 CET
I've try to rebuild it , but it need ffmpeg 2.2 to build.

No, it certainly doesn't need 2.2, as 2.2 didn't even exist when it was updated to its current version.  I haven't even tested that it fully works with 2.2 yet.

It may need at least 2.1 though.  Since it has the ffmpeg source with it, you can build it with the bundled ffmpeg rather than the system ffmpeg.  You can either change the %build_system_ffmpeg value to 0 in the SPEC or use the "--without system_ffmpeg" argument to the build.

Like I said, I haven't tested it with 2.2 yet, so if it fails to build, you can change it in the SPEC to 2.1.3 and download that and build with it, I know that works.
Comment 11 David Walser 2014-04-01 00:41:05 CEST
Just FYI I updated mplayer in Cauldron yesterday, so I can verify that it does build and work with the bundled ffmpeg 2.2.
Comment 12 marco 2014-04-01 12:10:25 CEST
ok , I will try to build it , the problem is that the system that I use to build is also the one I use to work , so I can't play too much with it.
Comment 13 Samuel Verschelde 2015-09-21 13:21:22 CEST
Mageia 4 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2015-09-19. It is is no longer 
maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug 
fix updates.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to 
fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later 
Mageia version.

Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we weren't 
able to fix it before Mageia 4's end of life. If you are able to reproduce it 
against a later version of Mageia, you are encouraged to click on "Version" and 
change it against that version of Mageia. If it's valid in several versions, 
select the highest and add MGAxTOO in whiteboard for each other valid release.
Example: it's valid in cauldron and Mageia 5, set to cauldron and add MGA5TOO.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, 
sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Mageia 
release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete.

If you would like to help fixing bugs in the future, don't hesitate to join the
packager team via our mentoring program [1] or join the teams that fit you 
most [2].
