Please remember to only report problems for ffplay if they are not reproducible with ffmpeg (and that means that whenever a ticket for ffplay is reported, some implicit or explicit reason is needed why the ticket is not reported for ffmpeg). The two reasons are that bugs are much more difficult to reproduce with ffplay and that ffplay depends on an external library that is known to contain bugs.
