[MPlayer-users] 100% cpu load when trying to play mss stream

[Jos van den Oever]

Hello MPlayer developers,

When trying to play http://www.omroep.nl/radio3/live64.asx, mplayer uses 100% 
CPU and does not play anyting.

The same happens when I access mms://media2.omroep.nl:1755/radio3live-64 
directly.

My system:
SuSE 8.0 (gcc version 2.95.3 20010315 (SuSE))
mplayer: v0.90rc4
compile options: none
CPU: Intel Pentium 4 Xeon Foster (Family: 8, Stepping: 2)
when using valgrind, this is reported as
CPU: Intel Pentium P54C (Family: 5, Stepping: 11)

Here's the console output when running MPlayer with valgrind:
