sellis Posted June 2, 2005 Report Share Posted June 2, 2005 Under Firefox, when I'm listening to the shows I missed via BBC Radio 4's Listen Again link (for example, go to http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio/, click on "Launch BBC Radio Player" and then on "Armando Iannucci's Charm Offensive"), RealPlayer has an annoying side effect. Every browser.................. operation (e.g. scrolling) tends to.................... freeze for 10-15...................... seconds then work ................... again for another 5-10 seconds then........................ You get the idea. This does not seem to affect any other running applications but does affect a second Firefox invocation too. At frst, I thought it might be competition for runtime between the browser and the player - by default, both RealPlayer and Firefox run at level 16. I've tried renice to lower the player's priority level a bit, but that didn't seem to have any visible effect. Any ideas? Anyone else even seen this problem?

ianw1974 Posted June 3, 2005 Report Share Posted June 3, 2005 It's probably because your listening to Radio 4 :P Seriously though, I just downloaded RealPlayer 10.2 Gold for Linux (rpm), and installed to see if I could replicate the problem. Unfortunately, I've not managed to. What version are you running? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
