Real Player a memory hog?
Hello everybody, I was trying to play some live radio streams through Shoutcast. The default player is Real Player, but after launching it, the system slows down and hardly works. I checked the processes, and I could see that after a few seconds, realplayer.bin was using (?) 280 MB of memory.
Can somebody help me understand what's going on with RP? I am running SLED 10. Thanks a lot, Alex |
Real Player for Linux is pretty lightweight. It shouldn't jump to 280 MB. Perhaps a memory leak? Try upgrading Real.
In the meanwhile, you could try using another player, unless the shoutcast stream is a real media file, which seems highly unlikely considering most shoutcast streams are mp3. I'd try vlc. |
