Quite regularly, I have to use xkill to shutdown
lintelkku as it will lock up when trying to connect to
a stream. This doesn't seem to happen on the first
attempt after a fresh copy has been opened into memory,
rather only after one or more connection attempts have
been made on different streams.

Also, perhaps a separate issue; but 'killall lintelkku'
doesn't seem to work. Additionally, another probably
separate issue is that often mplayer itself will lock
up between different video clips on the same stream. I
can usually use 'killall mplayer' and select to connect
to the stream again.

These lockups can be frustrating because often times
they will cause me to lose my place on the stream I was
viewing.

Despite these issues, thanks for lintelkku. I hope
these bugs will be fixed.

I am running Ubuntu Breezy with MPlayer-1.0pre7try2

    I have noticed the same behaviuor. Mplayer locks up if the
    video stream format changes during the playback. Also there
    might be some bugs in the lintelkku software itself.
