[Mplayerplug-in-devel] browser hangs

[Gabriel L. G. <gl...@tl...>]

Hello,

  I've written a simple extension that allows me to issue shell comands
  (with popen()) from javascript. The main objective is to be able to
  adjust the volume, but it will have other uses.

  The main method is shown below. After a few calls (2 or 3) the browser
  hangs, until the music ends. But my component works well on its own.

  Is this an issue with mplayerplug-in, or am I overlooking something in =
my=20
  code?

Thanks,
