I was able to fix this behavior using tip from mplayer2 bugtracker: http://devel.mplayer2.org/ticket/146#comment:1
I changed line in /usr/share/applications/mplayer.desktop file from `Exec=mplayer %U` to `Exec=mplayer -noconsolecontrols %U`. Now it works perfectly! ** Bug watch added: devel.mplayer2.org/ #146 http://devel.mplayer2.org/ticket/146 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1027530 Title: mplayer2 uses 100% CPU during pause To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mplayer2/+bug/1027530/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
