Play a track, stay in the now playing window, execute top: the mediaplayer uses 7-10% of the cpu (the stock media player is at 2-3%).
Leaving the player on the list window drops the % usage of the cpu to 3-4%

I don't know if this is the cause (I didn't make any test):

Code:

connect(positionTimer, SIGNAL(timeout()), mafwrenderer, SLOT(getPosition()));

Tha player is asking for the current time every second. It would be probably better to just add one second to the current position on the timer timeout and ask the renderer for the current position only when the state changes (play/pause/stop).

For the music window performance: I think that using a ListView/TableView and QAbstractListModel/QAbstractTableModel would be a lot faster than a QListWidget.

Just my two cents.

Other than that, many thanks for all the work and efforts in developing this player.

I wanted to finish up a few things before posting this, but that report of unresponsiveness keeps me wondering if it still occurs. Here goes the simplified changelog (full is always here):

• Indicator in the bottom right hides when the playlist is empty (but from time to time it appears when it shouldn't, overlapping the searchbox).
• Instant opening of Now Playing window after the first time.
• Song time counter goes higher than 59:59.
• Fixed Now Playing window sometimes not displaying metadata in the list.
• It seems rock stable. If you can crash it, make sure you let me know.

Thanks anyway for this great media player!
