[SOLVED]Issue with mplayer

Hello, I want to watch a anime with mplayer I have 2 issues and I dont get smarter from the output that mplayer gives me.
First I can play the first episode but when I reach nearly the end it stops with the following output:

The other episodes even dont want to start with this output:

MPlayer SVN-r37051 (C) 2000-2014 MPlayer Team
207 audio & 440 video codecs
mplayer: could not connect to socket
mplayer: No such file or directory

My mplayer config

# Write your default config options here!
ao=alsa
vo=xv
unicode=yes
utf8=yes
cache=8192

I got a Nvidia graphics card with the nouveau driver.
What I thought about is that I need a specific codec, wrong configured graphic card or the files are corrupted (unlikely).

Thanks in advance & sorry for my imperfect english!

Re: [SOLVED]Issue with mplayer

are you sure it's an issue with mplayer, and not the (maybe corrupt) files?

Re: [SOLVED]Issue with mplayer

What version of ffmpeg do you have?
If 2.2.2-1, update it to 2.2.2-2, otherwise downgrade it to 2.2.1 and x265 to 0.9 and see if problem persists. There seems to be some problems with ffmpeg and gcc version used for 2.2.2-1

Updated ffmpeg to 2.2.2-2 now everything works fine.
Thank you

Re: [SOLVED]Issue with mplayer

what does ffmpeg say about the files?

ffmpeg -i your/file/here

edit: guess it's sorted

Re: [SOLVED]Issue with mplayer

...may or may not relate, but today I noticed VLC repeatedly crashing a couple minutes after starting .avi file playback.   Checked pacman.log, noticed yesterday's ffmpeg patch, rolled it back, and now VLC is solid.

yup. it's a dependency:

[me]$ pacman -Si vlc|sed -n '/Depends\ On/,/:/p'|sed '$d'|cut -d: -f2
 a52dec  libdvbpsi  libxpm  libdca  qt4  libproxy  sdl_image  libdvdnav  libtiger  lua  libmatroska  zvbi  taglib  libmpcdec  ffmpeg  faad2  libupnp  libshout  libmad  libmpeg2  xcb-util-keysyms  libtar  libxinerama

UPDATE:  Oops!  vlc just crashed again...drat!

On the latest ffmpeg bits (prolly irrelevant):

May 08 20:50:22 kernel: vlc[6167]: segfault at 7f2c4f8f3000 ip 00007f2c66a7b0e7 sp 00007f2c844bb7d8 error 4 in libavcodec.so.55.52.102[7f2c664bd000+809000]

BTW: i just built this Arch system two days ago after my office workstation lost a drive so everything's pretty current on this little Dell quad-core Precision 1600...pretty generic h/w.
