Thanks for the response. bpa Wrote: > 1. Spec of your systems h/w, s/w & OS - - pre8 is a lot bigger and I > think processor hungry in some instances. Via Epia M1000 board with 1Ghz C3 processor (Mplayer detects this correctly). 512MB RAM. Software is Linux - Fedora FC5, with no Xwindows, and no software or services that are not directly required for SS/Alien. When using Alien/mplayer to stream "listen again" stuff my CPU usage hovers at around 9-13%

Sorry - not sure what you mean by this. I posted the log output above (it always fails with the message above "mplayer: could not connect to socket","mplayer: No such file or directory"). Should I be looking for extra output somewhere else? Are there some suitable debug switches, or a way I can get extra debug info out of mplayer? > 4.

I can reproduce the crash, but it doesn't crash at the same point each time. I've tried playing the latest PM from the beginning three times this morning. They crashed at 17:48, 24:16 and 22:11. > The Mplayer pre7 tar ball is available from MplayerHQ site > (http://www.mplayerhq.hu/MPlayer/releases/MPlayer-1.0pre7.tar.bz2 ) so > you can build your version of Mplayer.
