Package: smplayer Version: 16.4.0~ds0-1 Opening a directory (Open -> Directory... -> Choose) to play all files in it takes a very long time (depending on the number and the size of the files of files in it, but a CD rip just took several minutes), during which smplayer is unresponsive and appears to be hung. During that time it starts several mplayer processes whose commandline I was able to catch:
,---- | $ cat /proc/31680/cmdline | /usr/bin/mplayer-noquiet-slave-identify-frames1-vonull-aonull/home/sven/music/A_Real_Live_One/04-Wasting_Love.ogg | $ cat /proc/31720/cmdline | /usr/bin/mplayer-noquiet-slave-identify-frames1-vonull-aonull/home/sven/music/A_Real_Live_One/07-Afraid_To_Shoot_Strangers.ogg | $ cat /proc/31751/cmdline | /usr/bin/mplayer-noquiet-slave-identify-frames1-vonull-aonull/home/sven/music/A_Real_Live_One/09-Heaven_Can_Wait.ogg `---- Only when the 11th and last song in the directory was processed this way, the first actually played. It seems to me the problem is that smplayer passes "-frames 1" to mplayer which does not work as intended for audio files. Perhaps it should use "-frames 0" instead? -- System Information: Debian Release: stretch/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (101, 'experimental') Architecture: i386 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 4.6.0-nouveau (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=de_DE.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=de_DE.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) Versions of packages smplayer depends on: ii libc6 2.22-9 ii libgcc1 1:6.1.1-4 ii libgl1-mesa-glx [libgl1] 11.2.2-1 ii libqt5core5a 5.5.1+dfsg-17 ii libqt5dbus5 5.5.1+dfsg-17 ii libqt5gui5 5.5.1+dfsg-17 ii libqt5network5 5.5.1+dfsg-17 ii libqt5script5 5.5.1+dfsg-2 ii libqt5widgets5 5.5.1+dfsg-17 ii libqt5xml5 5.5.1+dfsg-17 ii libstdc++6 6.1.1-4 ii mplayer 2:1.3.0-1 ii zlib1g 1:1.2.8.dfsg-2+b1 Versions of packages smplayer recommends: ii smplayer-l10n 16.4.0~ds0-1 ii smplayer-themes 1:15.12.0-1 smplayer suggests no packages. -- no debconf information
