When I just run listen and change the song to other the cpu load increases to 100% (music is still playing)

[melomane (domenico-guerra)]

same problem here

[CoskiBukowski (julian87)]

Same here. More data: *i think* the CPU goes to 100% when listen tries to fetch the wikipedia and/or lyrics data. In my case, both the wikipedia and lyrics "tabs" doesnt show anything. I tried the MOZILLA_FIVE_HOME method in the FAQ, but with no luck.
Im running Ubuntu Karmic, and Listen 0.6.3 from the PPA, i have both firefox and xulrunner installed, but i couldnt get listen to work pointing to neither of those.

Sorry about my english,
hoping for a solution,

Regards!

[Fa11en_Angel (konstantin-filtschew)]

Same Problem. Only playing music is enough to rise CPU Load to 100%

System: Karmic standard installation
Listen: listen 0.6.2

Firefox and depending xulrunner ist installed. How can I help to solve this issue?

Thank you for help!

[Bruno (andreas-bruno)]

Same here, Listen is unusable at the moment...
is there a way to turn amazon cover search and wikipedia off?

[CoskiBukowski (julian87)]

The only way i could avoid the 100% cpu, is un-marking the "auto update" checkbox in both wikipedia and lyrics tabs *every time* i run the player.
The "offline mode" in the menu didnt work.

[Filip Dąbek (filedil)]

I have the same problem. Following CoskiBukowski's advice I found out that un-marking auto-update on wikipedia tab is enough to prevent the cpu from going to 100%. Also I noticed that listen opens the wikipedia page in firefox tab, not in itself.
For now the workaround is to find file "/usr/lib/listen/source/wikipedia.py" (or wherever it is installed) and change line:
self.auto_update.set_property("active",True) to self.auto_update.set_property("active",False). That will disable autoupdate on wikipedia tab.

[jose (jose-cybergalvez)]

I was having the same issue until I added
export LISTEN_BROWSER=mozilla
to my .profile file, now its working again as it should, low CPU and both wikipedia and lyrics work

[Bruno (andreas-bruno)]

This is what fixed it for me:
sudo gedit /usr/bin/listen
add theses lines:
export LISTEN_BROWSER=mozilla
MOZILLA_FIVE_HOME=/usr/lib/firefox LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/lib/firefox /usr/lib/listen/listen.py "$@"
CPU load is way down, lyrics and wikipedia are working again, though I still can't retrieve the covers via amazon.
I had the latter issue fixed somehow when trying to fix the main problems, I keep you updated when I remember how....

[Mauro Hernán Romero (mkhr-90)]

This happens to me too, CPU is pretty much always at 80%-100% when playing. And those last two workarounds did not work for me; still high CPU consumption and no Lyrics nor Wiki working. I have also noticed RAM usage increasing for no apparent reason.

[Knysliux001 (knysliux001)]

I can confirm this bug in Karmic

[philippe leconte (leconte-philippe)]

About Bruno and Jose solution:
For me , add these lines in /usr/bin/listen solve the CPU load issue BUT no more lyrics and no more wikipedia... And indeed, listen complains of not being able to load the 2 plugins ; I have the following import error message:
    ImportError: LISTEN_BROWSER support only "webkit" or "mozilla"
And with "webkit", the application freeze (I checked, python-webkit is well installed on my system)

So still no good workaround for me.

[philippe leconte (leconte-philippe)]

Finally the workaround seems to work after the installation of python-gtkmozembed

[philippe leconte (leconte-philippe)]

I confirm that all is working well now. This bug seems then well linked to the transition to webkit and the suppression of the dependance to python-gtkmozembed in the ubuntu package.

[ZioGR (ziogiallorosso)]

I've also fixed in this way

[Natim (site-remy)]

I have python-gtkmozembed installed and still the same problem.

export LISTEN_BROWSER=mozilla

Worked for me :)

[zweetvoetje (roelanddilz)]

editing /usr/bin/listen worked, BUT I had to put the two extra lines at the BEGINNING of the file. Not at the and. Don't know why, but it seems to matter...

[cement_head (andorjkiss)]

Yep, also have this bug and this workaround worked, but can't download covers

[OrelEagle (oreleagle)]

Hello,

Same problem here after an upgrade to Ubuntu 9.10. I fixed it by editing /usr/bin/listen and adding only this line:

export LISTEN_BROWSER=mozilla

[l33tmmx (l33tmmx-gmail)]

I don't think this issue has anything to do with gtkmozembed/webkit, after all. On Gentoo, you can build Listen-0.6.3 with either gtkmozembed or webit support, and with both options Listen uses 100% on one core, unless I change on the file /usr/lib64/listen/source/wikipedia.py the line self.auto_update.set_property("active",True) to False, as suggested by Filip Dąbek. There's something else badly wrong in Listen-0.6.x, I'm afraid... :(

[David On Laptop (davidonlaptop)]

Hey thanks guys!

I can confirm this works out pretty well for me : listen is now down to 4% cpu use on karmic 9.10. Wikipedia auto-update working too.

My /usr/bin/listen now looks as follows :

export LISTEN_LIBRARY_PATH="/usr/lib/listen"
export LISTEN_DATA_PATH="/usr/share/listen"
export LISTEN_VERSION="0.6.3"

export LISTEN_BROWSER=mozilla
cd $LISTEN_LIBRARY_PATH && MOZILLA_FIVE_HOME=/usr/lib/firefox LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/lib/firefox exec python listen "$@"

[Knysliux001 (knysliux001)]

Finally, that works!
Thank you, David =]

[ishai levy (ishai-levy-gmail)]

Confirmed,
adding export LISTEN_BROWSER=mozilla
fixes the bug, nothing else worked.
Works great with lots of plugins enabled as well!

[ArathoN (turionavanon-deactivatedaccount)]

i resolved this problem disabling the plugin lastfm information....now fron about 30-50% of cpu usage it takes only 4-8% of cpu...i hope that you solve it that way...ah i didn't modify the file listen, adding export LISTEN_BROWSER=mozilla...
