SMplayer with vdpau can't play Hi10P H.264 videos, but MPlayer can.

Hi!

I have an interesting problem. To my understanding SMPlayer can play everything MPlayer (or MPlayer2 can) but I experience it otherwise. So with same settings using vdpau as video out, SMPlayer crashes when I open a video with Hi10P H.264 but MPlayer works just fine.
I've tried different SMPlayer versions from AUR, even svn ones but all have this same problem. Could there be a setting in SMPlayer which makes it unable to decode Hi10P H.264 videos? I also tried SMPlayer with MPlayer2, either can't play anything or no video, then tried SMPlayer2, too, but it has the same problem.
If I start them from terminal, I do not get any error messages... actually no output at all.

Any recommendations?

Thanks!

Ps.: VLC has a really low performance while decoding them, lags, audio-video are not always in sync, seeking takes ages, etc., and I did not find any other video player which can play almost everything like MPlayer and can remember the position where each video was stopped like SMPlayer.

What, so everyone's supposed to sleep every single night now? You realize that nighttime makes up half of all time?
