[SOLVED] mplayer and VLC failed to play video after some time

I found some problems for playing video file recently. My primarily video player is SM Player. When I play any video file it produces some errors as following,

- MPlayer crashed by bad usage of CPU/FPU/RAM.
  Recompile MPlayer with --enable-debug and make a 'gdb' backtrace and
  disassembly. Details in DOCS/HTML/en/bugreports_what.html#bugreports_crash.
- MPlayer crashed. This shouldn't happen.
  It can be a bug in the MPlayer code _or_ in your drivers _or_ in your
  gcc version. If you think it's MPlayer's fault, please read
  DOCS/HTML/en/bugreports.html and follow the instructions there. We can't and
  won't help unless you provide this information when reporting a possible bug.

Then I tried to use VLC to play, this is the error shown in cosole,

[00007f07f8001268] xcb_xv vout display error: shared memory allocation error: No space left on device

I have no problem previously, only found this recently. And after I restart, then I can play the video again. And after hours of work, playing the video failed again. I don't know what is the condition that the video will fail to be played.

Any way to solve?

I had very similar error messages recently and found a workaround - it was caused by openjdk7.
Could be the same thing: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=200184

Thanks for the reply. I just checked again without restart, but close almost every program, and then the video can be played. I will try to check whether it is caused by Java and closing Java application can fix it or not.

Thank you @MightyPork. I just tested and downgrade to openjdk7 2.5.5. Then the problem solved.

Glad to help. I've submitted it to the arch bugtracker, maybe they'll do something (remove the bad version from repos?)
