</div>Are these bug reports actively wanted? Any time I get a video that<br>
mplayer plays flawlessly but the internal player can't handle you want<br>
a new bug filed?<br></blockquote><div><br>Certainly. I've said the same thing about DVDs that don't play. If you open a ticket with relevant information (backtrace per the instructions on <a href="http://mythtv.org">mythtv.org</a>, a sample of the file that causes the issue, or in the case of a DVD, the title), the developers will look at it. All of this is needed so they can replicate the issue on their system and see where the problem lies. Playback improves/degrades/changes with each FFMPEG resync because that's where the core support in the internal player comes from and there is one in trunk right now which is why it's probably best to wait for 0.23 before reporting anything right now. <br>
<br>In the case of DVDs, developers have been known to rent movies via Netflix or other services just to be able to test a particular DVD against the internal player.<br><br>Kevin<br></div></div>
