    Or navigate to Options > View Log > mplayer to see what it has logged.

    SMPlayer is just a shell for mplayer. If you want to examine the issue from the command line run

    Code:
    mplayer /path/to/video/file
    You can use "mplayer -v" for more details, though you'll probably be overwhelmed.
    If you ask for help, do not abandon your request. Please have the courtesy to check for responses and thank the people who helped you.

    Re: SMPlayer play videos freezing

    In Options > Preferences > Video try using the "gl fast" driver for ATI in the drop-down box. It may give you better performance than the default xv driver.

    Re: SMPlayer play videos freezing

    Had exactly the same problem in any distro is use smplayer. Solved it by disabling the audio equalizer in options/prefernces/audio. Hope it helps.
