mplayer crashes when trying to play large (>4GB) file

[axos88@…]

Windows XP, SP2.
A try to play a large (4 958 157 312 B) file, but mplayer freezes at this point:
(Have a batch job so that i don't have to enter mplayer's path every time from cmd)

C:\DOCUME~1\Akos>call "c:\program files\mplayer\mplayer.exe"
d:\Images\Video01.avi

MPlayer interrupted by signal 2 in module: demux_open
AVI: Missing video stream!? Contact the author, it may be a bug :(

Opening it with Windows Media Player works OK. But i don't like it. Wanna use
MPlayer :)

known bug, mingw mplayer does not have large file support.

workaround: use a cygwin built mplayer to read >4 gb files.

Try -idx, -noidx, -forceidx. One of those might work for AVI files (though it
is still uncertain how much of the file it will play).

i think building mplayer with this patch for mingw will fix at least some of the
problem.

​http://oss.netfarm.it/mplayer/misc/file64_mingw.diff
but the mplayer i built was unable to seek, so i'm not sure...

that mingw patch works for me now, so closing this bug.

also marking as invalid as this is a mingw problem and they really need to fix it.
