Public bug reported:
Release: KUbuntu 11.10
smplayer version: 0.6.9-4
Smplayer is basically unusable in the new ubuntu release. When I try to
play anything with it, it hangs and its GUI does not respond to any
events (mouse click/move, keyboard commands). It can be only killed.
However, it seems that mplayer itself is working, i.e. it plays the
movie, but this process is out of any control, I can only wait until the
end of the movie. Mplayer also works normally when starting it
independently from the command line. When the movie is ended, mplayer
stops playing, but smplayer continues to hang until killed.
In the system monitor I see that smplayer process uses 100% CPU and its
memory usage grows linearly in time.
I tried to look into the smplayer and mplayer logs, but it was not very
easy: when smplayer starts to play something it logs a lot of info and
hangs immediatly after that. I see only the last pieces of the logs,
apparently nothing unusual. I cannot even copy it in full because these
log windows do not respond too.
The logs are ended by the lines:
(smplayer) BaseGui:: resizeWindow:: done: mplayerwindow->size: 400,400
(mplayer) VO: [xv] 400x400 => 400x400 Planar YV12
I tried to change the video driver and to turn on/off KWin compositing,
but this makes no difference.
