The recent upgrade from 1.5.0.20220924 to 1.5.0.20230321 has introduced a
number of spurious error messages.  The most common is:

Too many video packets in the buffer: (3618 in 33559926 bytes).
Maybe badly- or non-interleaved stream/file or the codec failed?
Fix the file or try the -ni option (can cause high memory usage).

Also, mplayer cannot play the audio portion of the file.  Trying the "-ni"
option causes it to get stuck for about a minute at the very beginning after
saying "Opening audio decoder: [ffmpeg] FFmpeg/libavcodec audio decoders".

Also occasionally "Timing looks severely broken, resetting".  Before the
upgrade, these files played without error.  Also, vlc plays the files
correctly.
