Hello, In both Mozilla and Firefox whenever I open certain media sources, the video and audio play 3 times, with about a second's offset between each. The videos appear next to each other, although only one is completely visible. Using "gl" display mode, 3 separate windows open for the video. This happens consistently with video from the following sites: http://news.bbc.co.uk (uses Real Video) http://www.detelegraaf.nl (some kind of asf) Something like this happened with earlier versions of mplayerplug-in, but my impression is that the problem is worse, in that it appears consistently. I read on the mplayerplug-in site that there used to be a problem like this with Mozilla 1.0, but I have 1.7.12. This is a Suse 10.0 system. My Myplayer and mplayerplug-in come from the Packman repository. Relevant package versions: mplayerplug-in-3.17-0.pm.0 MPlayer-1.0pre7-pm.3 mozilla-1.7.12-6 MozillaFirefox-1.5-0.1 ~/.mplayer/mplayerplug-in.conf --------------------------------- vo=xv ao=alsa cachesize=122 cache-percent=1 dload-dir=/home/brand showtime=1 enable-wmp=1 enable-qt=1 enable-rm=1 enable-gmp=1 enable-mpeg=1 enable-mp3=1 enable-ogg=1 enable-smil=1 enable-helix=1 nomediacache=0 rtsp-use-tcp=0 I wonder if the problem is due to my configuration, Mozilla and Firefox, or in the plug-in.

In 3.16 I fixed it for one way, and this shows the other way.

I usually run with 1024K cache and 25% cache percent..

I made a minor change to CVS this morning that might fix this problem. I tested it with the BBC site and it appears to work better. There is only one playback window now, but the controls and status are missing, but you can still use the right click menu to control it.=20 To implement this type of real player emulation, I would have to redesign a lot of the plugin. Something I am not ready to do at this point. Kevin --=20 Get my public GnuPG key from http://keyserver.veridis.com:11371/export?id=3D7574690260641978351 |

When the minimum cache size is smaller than some value between 122 and 236 the behavior appears. I haven't narrowed it down any more than that. This parameter, however, does not seem to have any effect on the similiar problem with Real video from sources like the BBC. This supports Kevin DeKorte's view that these are two different problems with similiar symptoms. Mark |

Unfortunately I don't see this problem using a similar configuration to you except that I have a much newer version of mplayer. So I would recommend trying that.
