Bug Description
Binary package hint: smplayer
Smplayer sometimes fails to show video output with xv driver (removal of smplayer and/or mplayer configuration files doesn't help). Mplayer shows video correctly.
Restarting Ubuntu helped me last time (but the problem seems to reoccur after some time...).
Once it happens, smplayer logs are full of this line:
"[00:35:16] MplayerProcess:
mplayer log is then full of this one:

Hmm... The same problem occurs when I use VLC (I have to check if the problem persist after a reboot). However, Totem works fine.
VLC output (maybe this is another error, I don't know...):
