Well, after several bits of good listening I ran into the problem again. I tried closing some programs to get back to the situation that worked, but it still weny badly.
I know about ps and top in general, but don't know the exact syntax. What I would like - is it possible? - is a way of listing only the mplayer processes and of listing the maximum CPU used rather than having to watch the lines to see what is happening. Using the Mac's Activity Monitor (which I think is just a GUI to top) and watching it closely I think I noticed a brief flash of mplayer using 60% or more of the CPU. But I don't know if this was one of the copies that should not have been there. I'm up now to eighteen copies of mplayer alive (though not necessarily doing anything) as a result of the stream stopping and restarting. I'll gladly test this for you, but I need to know how to test. If a modified mplayer.sh is needed, perhaps you can supply it for me, together with instructions about what to log. I don't think I've ever seen an mplayer.sh process listed in Activity Monitor. Perhaps it just comes in under a different name (as one of the threads in perl or something similar, perhaps). -- danco _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/plugins
