amp_test times nine???

[frankvw]

Hi, everyone,

I've got a DVD movie sitting in a directory on the NMT's local harddisk. I play it in the regular fashion (i.e. by pressing "OK" "play" on the IR remote control) and all is well. Except that a 'ps | grep amp_test' shows no less than nine instances of amp_tests running:

Code:

1328 root       0:02 amp_test /opt/sybhttpd/localhost.drives/HARD_DISK/Video/Movies/Hero/ --dfb:quiet -osd32 -bgnd:/bin/logo.jpg
1329 root       0:00 amp_test /opt/sybhttpd/localhost.drives/HARD_DISK/Video/Movies/Hero/ --dfb:quiet -osd32 -bgnd:/bin/logo.jpg
1330 root       0:00 amp_test /opt/sybhttpd/localhost.drives/HARD_DISK/Video/Movies/Hero/ --dfb:quiet -osd32 -bgnd:/bin/logo.jpg
1331 root       0:00 amp_test /opt/sybhttpd/localhost.drives/HARD_DISK/Video/Movies/Hero/ --dfb:quiet -osd32 -bgnd:/bin/logo.jpg
1334 root       0:03 amp_test /opt/sybhttpd/localhost.drives/HARD_DISK/Video/Movies/Hero/ --dfb:quiet -osd32 -bgnd:/bin/logo.jpg
1335 root       0:00 amp_test /opt/sybhttpd/localhost.drives/HARD_DISK/Video/Movies/Hero/ --dfb:quiet -osd32 -bgnd:/bin/logo.jpg
1345 root       0:01 amp_test /opt/sybhttpd/localhost.drives/HARD_DISK/Video/Movies/Hero/ --dfb:quiet -osd32 -bgnd:/bin/logo.jpg
1346 root       0:00 amp_test /opt/sybhttpd/localhost.drives/HARD_DISK/Video/Movies/Hero/ --dfb:quiet -osd32 -bgnd:/bin/logo.jpg
1347 root       0:00 amp_test /opt/sybhttpd/localhost.drives/HARD_DISK/Video/Movies/Hero/ --dfb:quiet -osd32 -bgnd:/bin/logo.jpg

This happens all the time - it's not dependent on the selected movie. Not a problem, of course, since it works properly, but what is going on here?? I'm curious.

Yes - 22 VOB files in total:

Hmmm... I think see what you mean... So for every Video Title Set there's an instance of the amp_test process? Interesting. How do these different instances relate? I mean, which one is active at what time and what controls that and how?

Or rather... how should I start manual playback (i.e. running amp_test from the command line) in this case?
