[MPlayer-users] Re: high cpu load when trying to play mss stream

Tue Jan 21 17:34:05 CET 2003

Here's some more info on the bug:

The bug also occurs on RedHat 8.0 with gcc 3.2.
Here's the output of running mplayer with valgrand with debug info. It 
basically says that the problem shows up at asf_mmst_streaming.c:93, 
asf_mmst_streaming.c:463 and asf_mmst_streaming.c:478.

When I play the file now, the stream is sometimes played. When the stream is 
not available (too many listeners), the program freezes. This should not lead 
to 100% CPU usage, but it does. Maybe this is unrelated to the memory 
problems valgrind reports.

Also when running with valgrind and after filling the cache the program 
freezes and uses GB's of memory. This might be a valgrind problem though.
