(g)mplayer crashes/freezes and reboots ...

Why you think you should crossbuild If you only want to have gcc45 + new instructions I presume?

You can grab fresh mplayer (port) here also:

http://www.rrr.de/~riggs/mplayer/ *

It's private repo of current mplayer's port maintainer.

TGTARCH etc. is environment variable.

eg. TGTARCH=x86_64 TGTABI=freebsd8

because that is what was suggested in this thread... look at the patch that was posted. Is this a FreeBSD port? The reason I want to build from svn is the version in ports is way behind the current linux build. At least when I run smplayer it yells at me saying its a depricated version and to update or things won't work right... they do for the most part but there are some problems.
 
If you would take time to read article I have posted, you'd know that crossbuilding was needed because there was no fresh binutils in ports tree. Patch has nothing to do with crossbuilding per se, it's generic amd64 (If I reckon correctly derived from patch in ports tree) quirk. Also, mplayer ports I have posted are quite fresh and have all needed patches.

Wondering if anyone else has witnessed this: when playing video with mplayer or gmplayer, skipping forward or backward, either by using the arrow keys (mplayer, gmplayer) or by clicking in the progress slider (gmplayer), will eventually lead to a lock-up of my laptop, and a reboot 10-15 seconds later.

Sorry to revive an old thread, but yes, I do experience the very same problem
on my 9-stable with mplayer and OSS. Though I updated both from ports yesterday
(make from sources)

I'd love to use snd_hda instead of OSS, but snd_hda refuses to give any sound on the internal speaker, so I'm restricted to OSS which crashes randomly when I skip (seek) in a video, and the whole system reboots.

So, DutchDaemon, did you find an explanation for this?
 
How old is your 9-STABLE? I would update it and try to configure snd_hda properly (quirks).

In fact, I use snd_hda on (now) 9-STABLE since it was 8-CURRENT and I never had such problem with seeking.
 
Thanks for the reply, morbit.

In fact, my 9-stable is not that old (9.1 pre-relase) and just to be sure,
I also updated the files in /usr/src/sys/dev/sound/pci/hda/ with those
in the svn repo as of today, and rebuilt the snd_hda module, but I still can't get the sound to come out of the internal speaker.

But that's another problem which I'm describing here: http://forums.freebsd.org/showthread.php?t=35383

The seeking and then crashing problem occurs only with mplayer + OSS and this is why I kind of revived this thread, but I'd by far prefer the snd_hda solution if it could output to the internal speaker

Thanks again! :)
