Hi Can you please verify this as a problem with mplayerplug-in: Go to: http://www.classicfm.co.uk/Article.asp?id=421143 anc click the "listen now" button and then the "click here to access the audio". While it sits at "Connecting to server mediasrv-the.musicradio.com..." for a while firefox takes 100% cpu. Is that to be expected? It then plays fine. Thanks Roderick Johnstone |

This problem does not happen with gecko-mediaplayer since mplayer is out of process in that situation.

Is gecko-mediaplayer now at a point where it is to be preferred over mplayerplug-in?? Roderick |

On the classicfm link that I put earlier in this thread, it works fine, but I get a big black window which is empty, arpart from the controls at the bottom. This is a radio station with no video. Maybe its possible to detect "no video" and shrink the window to show just the controls? Thanks Roderick |

It is up to the website to say how big that drawing area is.
