Description:
mplayer2 crashes, when I attempt to switch channels during DVB playback.

Additional info:
since the last update of mplayer2 (20121128-1) the program crashes, whenever I try to switch channels (pressing h/k).

It exits with this error:

mplayer: mplayer.c:4573: main: Assertion `!mpctx->osd->ass_renderer' failed.

I tried both the default video driver and ffmpeg12vdpau. Adding --no-ass didn’t help either.

Steps to reproduce:
mplayer dvb://<channel name> (this works),
and try to switch to a different channel by pressing h or k.
This task depends upon

I really would like to help you with your issue, but I don't have any DVB device.
Do you mind reporting the problem to upstream? There is #mplayer2 channel on Freenode and official bugtracker on theirs website.

commenting line 4573 in mplayer.c solves the issue, I’m not sure though if that creates other problems or removes functionality.

I reported the bug here: http://devel.mplayer2.org/ticket/218

I'll apply patch if it'll be ever submitted to git repo. Closing.
