[MPlayer-users] Question: making mplayer run as a windows service

[Richard Kuenz]

I have another question please,

on a imac g5 running osx 10.5.8
using macports could install mplayer 1.3 or similar -
which is being used in conjunction with youtube-viewer (perl program, 
terminal based, to access youtube) -
so happy that it playbacks https://streams.
but the playback is somewhat differed, eg. slower than the underlying audio;

does someone know of a tweak to make it more in "tune" with the played 
stream?
it should be in tune also when playing back and skpping forth;
it has a radeon graphics with 128mb vram

thank you in advance.
