[MPlayer-users] File Buffer for MPlayer?

[Newman, Clark M]

I have a large mpg file that is accumulating somewhat more slowly than it
will play, but do not want to wait for the entire file to be arrive before
playing.

I had hoped to start writing the file to disk, and after a given amount of
time, have MPlayer begin playing the file. Then, at the same time MPlayer is
running, the remainder of the file would be written to the disk.

Unfortunately MPlayer will only play the part of the file that was present
when it was started, and no more.

Can anyone offer some insight into how to work around this, or a better
method of handling this problem?

Thanks,
