[Gambas-user] process.kill

[Matthias Laur]

Hi,
 I"ve still a problem with process.kill. I see live video with the mplayer
 from /dev/video32. The mplayer has the parameter -wid and belong to a
 drawing area of a gambas form. So long it works fine. For termination I try
 myprocess.kill. But after then the /dev/video32 is still busy and I can"t
 start the process again. If I use EXEC ["kill", cstr(myprocess.id)] it
works
 and /dev/video32 is free after then. It works for many times, but sometimes
 the whole application freeze after then and I must close it. I don"t
 understand why, but I think the linux kill is to heavy und not a good
 programming.
 
 1. Can you tell me the difference between Linux command "kill id" and the
 gambas command process.kill?
 
 2. How can I make sure that the device /dev/video32 is free after the
 command process.kill?
 
 Many thanks for your help
 
 I use Gambas 1.0.6
 
 Regards,
 Matthias
