I am also seeing quite a bit of core dumps from this G2 player. My X-Server shared-memory configuration was low and I was getting some SHMGET errors when launching the palyer but increasing shared-memory hasn't stopped the core dumps. As I understand it, the Player's bandwith settings dtermine whether a session is played at low or hi bitrates. In my case, I have a 256Kbit/s ADSL connection and so configured my G2 player. But in this mode, incoming sessions that are played at 150-200Kbit/s only play for a few seconds before core-dumping -- I played some 100Kbit/s sessions fine but they appeared not to be reliable and eventually the playwer would core-dump. If I reconfigure the Player for a 112 Kbit/s (ISDN) bandwith setting then sessions are played at low-bitrates say 34-40Kbit/s and the player doesn't core dump. Do we have a baseline from someone using the player natively under Linux, ie., is it exhibiting the same behaviour under Linux or is this symptomatic of linux emulation under FBSD? For a test session that exhibits the above behaviour see www.broadcast.com/video/courttv. -- Denis To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-emulation" in the body of the message
