Hi again,
Adam, is there any chance this "bug" with mplayer and no pausing of
livepause buffer, be fixed any time soon? Do I have to file a bug report
somewhere?
I do prefer mplayer for watching TV as it has some really nice deinterlacers
and post processing filters .. :-)
But I would still be interested in seeing the options passed to Xine for TV
use.
Cheers,
Bernie
