Bug Description

Binary package hint: vuze

Hello,

PROBLEM:

When I try to play a movie (no matter the quality it has) with Mplayer and Vuze open, Vuze forces Mplayer to Frame drop some frames in the movie in a specific range of time...

SOLUTION:

Make them work together as Vuze does with VLC...

WORKAROUND:

There's none

STEPS TO REPRODUCE:

1 - Open a video with any Mplayer Frontend (I tested the issue with Kmplayer, Gnome-Mplayer and SMplayer)
2 - Open Vuze and start a download with it
3 - Play the video in Mplayer and wait until the problem happens (it happens in a specified range of time)

POSSIBLE CAUSE OF THE PROBLEM:

1 - HDD access of Vuze making the read of a movie file (that generally is a big file, more than 700 MB) happens in a low speed or latency
2 - High use of Processor or RAM Memory making these resources low enough to Mplayer do Frame drops

PS: I tested the issue with GNOME-MPLAYER; SMPLAYER; KMLAYER with a 1080p video (H264 - MKV) and a 720p video (H264 - MKV) and a 480p video (XVID - AVI)...

Thanks for your help,

André M.
