<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Hi All,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I recently did a much neede apt-get upgrade on my
myth box. However, having done this, mplayer simply refuses to work. If I try to
watch a movie through myth, the movie starts to play (I know because I hear the
sound), but I never see anything other than the myth movie description on the
screen.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Originally, I thought it was a focus/z-order
problem and that I could simply alt-tab to the playing movie, but I
couldnt!....</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>So then I tried playing a movie from the command
line using mplayer and doing this causes the entire X session to freeze up. I
have to kill X to recover the box?!?!?!?!....</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Has anyone got any ideas or suggestions as to ways
I could look to diagnose the issue here?...</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Thanks,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Mark</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>PS - I also tried to install XINE, but apt-get
reports:</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Some packages could not be installed. This may mean
that you have<BR>requested an impossible situation or if you are using the
unstable<BR>distribution that some required packages have not yet been
created<BR>or been moved out of Incoming.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Since you only requested a single operation it is
extremely likely that<BR>the package is simply not installable and a bug report
against<BR>that package should be filed.<BR>The following information may help
to resolve the situation:</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>The following packages have unmet
dependencies:<BR> xine: Depends: libcurl.so.3 but it is not
installable<BR> Depends: libidn.so.11
but it is not installable<BR>E: Broken packages<BR></FONT></DIV></BODY></HTML>
