[MPlayer-users] mpeg files playback limitation

[Kevin DeKorte]

I have noticed a problem with the mpeg decoder

if I do this...

wget http://some.site.com/path/to/file.mpeg &

wait a second so that part of the file is downloaded then I do

mplayer -cache 2048 file.mpeg


mplayer will only play the bytes of the file that it knew about when it 
started.

So if 500K of the file was downloaded and mplayer is started, but the file is 
2MB, it will only play 500K even if more than 500K has been downloaded

It happens with mp3 and mpeg files, but works fine with avi, quicktime and 
other formats.
