Hi, it's me again, the new mister i3-user ;-)


I managed to configure everything the way I want it, am really happy with i3.
But there's one little thing that disturbs me and I can't figure out, what's
the problem.

I have a tv card and I have to use mplayer to watch tv, because it's the only
app which can handle my tv card. So I have a script for watching tv, which
looks like this


#!/bin/bash
mplayer tv:// -tv
driver=v4l2:norm=PAL:fps=25:width=768:height=576:device=/dev/video0:chanlist=europe-west:alsa=yes:adevice=plughw.1,0:audiorate=32000:forceaudio:immediatemode=0:channels=\

(I still have to find a good chanel order ;-) )

It works, when I run it from urxvt, but when I start it with dmenu, i3
completely crashes. But it cannot be a dmenu issue, because it worked in musca
(which uses dmenu as well). All I can do is go to tty and hit ^C. Here's an
output, which tells me something like "mplayer crashed. that should not happen"
(in case it's really relevant, I can provide the complete output).


Anyone with an idea?
