Package: vlc Version: 0.8.6.c-6 Severity: normal Running VLC on my system (with a bunch of low quality FLVs downloaded from YouTube) usually uses less than 10% CPU (in 'top' listing). But when I run VLC with in Daemon mode with Remote Control interface enabled, the CPU usage is over 90%.
Here is my command-line: /usr/bin/vlc -L -I rc --rc-fake-tty --rc-show-pos --no-video-deco \ --video-x 0 --video-y 0 --width 1024 --height 768 -v3 \ -d --file-logging --logfile /tmp/vlc.log \ --volume 450 --aout alsa /home/david/NO_BACKUP/downloads/youtube/ If I remove either the daemon mode "-d" or the remote control "rc --rc-fake-tty --rc-show-pos" options then the CPU usage is low. It's only when both sets of options are used that the CPU usage is hight. I am running KDE 5:48 (4:3.5.5) under X.Org 1:7.2-5 on Debian Testing. The problem also occurs with IceWM on Debian Etch systems.
