Hi,
I'm using VLC media player for watching video streams within a frequently updated windows media center environment. For example, the online content contains current movie trailers in quick time format ".mov".
I've associated these streamed files with VLC media player so that the tool starts automatically.
Because for some long movie trailers my internet connection speed is not fast enough, I'm using the http://-cache option of VLC media player with a fixed value of 180000 ms, which means that the playing actually starts right after 3 minutes of data have been buffered. This works perfect for the big movie trailers, but not for the ones with a duration less than 3 minutes, here I'm getting an error message "main debug: waiting decoder fifos to empty". So for example, a movie trailer with 2 minutes is buffered for 2 minutes, after that I have to wait for another 1 minute for the playing to start. Wasted time, I think!
Is it possibe to configure VLC media player so that it plays immediately after it detects that there's no more data to be buffered?
Thanks in advance!
Greetings
Mister Floppy
