[phonon-mplayer] mplayer hang will also hang VideoPlayer

[Ben Lau]

Hi,

  I have a video player that use phonon-mplayer on windows. When I
play a video file with partly recognized audio codec , mplayer will
not work correctly and finally hang. It is normal , however, if
mplayer hang , it will also hang my video player... The video player
will become "Not responded" application.  The same configuration is
fine in Linux , the mplayer also hang , but it won't hang the video
player. It may kill mplayer and let's the application to restart
mplayer

  I am not familiar with windows programming , I guess the mplayer has
locked the drawing window for video(Hold the event loop?) And
Phonon::VideoPlayer is also locked on the window (acquire an event?) .
Is there any way to ask Phonon::VideoPlayer to provide a window for
mplayer that will not acquire lock or don't read any event ?

Thanks for any advise.
