Another quick post regarding a possible regression.

Back at version 25 we can see at the release notes that "Decoding at half resolution is now usable".

I haven't really tried "-lavdopts lowres" options before. So, a few minutes ago, i edited my configuration file to add it, but it didn't work. Mplayer doesn't open videos now.

I used all the lowres variables that can be found at mplayer's documentation with no success. Moreover, i tried a lot of different video files, but in the end nothing played at all.

Finally, i removed the lavdopts option and mplayer behavior went back to normal.

Can someone please confirm the above? Is it a regression or am i simply using wrong syntax?
