 This works perfectly well.

 This works for about five to ten seconds, the video freezes and the device
 shuts its light off, the last frame sticks. There is btw. a latency of
 about four seconds from executing the command to seeing the first frame
 (the device introduced some latency of about a second, the rest seems to
 be ffplay).

 Is there any way to give more information that might help you? Is it for
 example possible to see the filling-percentage of internal video buffers?
