Hi,
For some reason when I play video files using the mplayer plugin the vdr
processes go wild and hog a lot of cpu (even 98%). If I use -vo mga to
show the video on the big screen the video plays fine (mplayer cpu usage
is low anyway), but if I use -vo dxr3 the video goes jerky.
Vdr cpu usage before starting playback thru mplayer plugin is less than 5%
and it goes back to same usage after I stop mplayer. Any clues?
Usually I use more plugins, but I also tested with just dxr3-0.2.0 (with
patches from author to get ac3 working) and mp3-0.8.0.
I have the same problem with my dxr3 setup. The CPU-% reported by top is
about 50% - 50% when mplayer plugin plays video. The effect is the same
with and without recently posted dxr3 plugin patches.
