[MPlayer-users] seeking in a flv

[Gautier]

Thanks, it was exactly that.

Now I have another problem :

If the server is a little slow to send the movie mplayer exit
(nop_streaming_read error : Resource temporarily unavailable). If I
add the loop option it sends a new get request. It's not a problem
when I'm at the beginning of the movie, but if I do a seek and then
the server takes time to answer mplayer send a new get corresponding
to the position where it was before seeking and not the position where
it should be after seeking.

Is there a way to force mplayer to wait indefinitely ?

Best regards,
Gautier
