Thanks for the response. Yes, top tells me that I'm only using 60% of the CPU for mplayer and 10% for python (freevo) when running mplayer both inside and outside of freevo. I don't think I have a cpu performance problem. > > Another silly thing worth checking is are you running them both as the > same user?

I get the same behavior outside of freevo when using either the user which freevo runs (root) or an non-root user. When outside of freevo, the videos play just fine. The choice of videos is sensitive too. US broadcasts recorded from CBS, ABC, NBC work fine. I have trouble with videos from FOX and ION. I'm going to try and hack up mplayer.py to launch mplayer using "system" instead of the ChildApp class and see what happens there. I just need a fews hours to concentrate on it.

What freevo was doing was a poll of internal modules every 0.01 seconds ( or every 10 milliseconds if you prefer :-) ). This was to check for events, changes to the cache etc etc. I've now moved all of this to the kaa framework which doesn't wake up every 10 millisecond all the time. I'm running this on my main box at the moment to check for issues, and as its my main box any problems will get fixed asap or there'll be hell to pay :-) Cheers Adam -- The ultimate all-in-one performance toolkit: Intel(R) Parallel Studio XE: Pinpoint memory and threading errors before they happen.
