[MPlayer-users] Very strange TV behaviour...

[Per Wigren]

Ok, sorry for crossposting.. I read your (arpi's) reply in dev-eng..
The only reason I crossposted was that the it never appeared and I hadn't yet 
realized that the listserver was down...

You're right, it also happens with xawtv if I use "grabdisplay" instead of 
"overlay"... :((((((  This is very sad news... :( Now I don't know how to do 
this anymore... :(

One thing I can think of is if MPlayer could stop grabbing when it is paused.. 
Then we can pause MPlayer while fetching and caching the pages...
