Remove misleading error messages from XBMC error/debug log (MPlayer)
#1
Pike requested that I post this as a FR.

Remove misleading error messages. Such as removing the instruction to set command line switches when it is impossible to do so.

Example follows...

23:23:25 M: 28487680 DEBUG: msg:

************************************************
**** Your system is too SLOW to play this! ****
************************************************

Possible reasons, problems, workarounds:
- Most common: broken/buggy _audio_ driver
- Try -ao sdl or use the OSS emulation of ALSA.
- Experiment with different values for -autosync, 30 is a good start.
- Slow video output
- Try a different -vo driver (-vo help for a list) or try -framedrop!
- Slow CPU
- Don't try to play a big DVD/DivX on a slow CPU! Try -hardframedrop.
- Broken file
- Try various combinations of -nobps -ni -forceidx -mc 0.
- Slow media (NFS/SMB mounts, DVD, VCD etc)
- Try -cache 8192.
- Are you using -cache to play a non-interleaved AVI file?
- Try -nocache.
Read DOCS/HTML/en/video.html for tuning/speedup tips.
If none of this helps you, read DOCS/HTML/en/bugreports.html.

hmm, maybe editing it/them would be better than removing the comments completly?

Possible reasons, problems, and workarounds:
- Slow CPU; don't try to play high-resolution video files on a slow CPU!
- Low MEMORY; try disable unused services (WebServer, Python, FTP),
or if video not playing in 1080i try 720p, if not playing in 720p try 480p.
- Broken file; try repairing it with VirtualDub (read the online-manual)
- Slow media (Network or CD/DVD); try increase the cache settings.

Advanced workarounds (editing /XBMC/system/players/mplayer.conf):
- Try various combinations of -nobps -ni -forceidx -mc 0.
- Are you trying to play a non-interleaved AVI file? try -nocache.
- Experiment with different values for -autosync, 30 is a good start.

If none of this helps you, read the online-manual on bug-reporting.
