mplayer is mainly designed to play files and not streams and so its handling of network errors is minimal. There was a long running bug with Live RealAudio and it was only fixed when I tracked it down. So unless there is somebody who can produce the problems and track it down - mplayer will be inferior in this regard to the vendor players.
I occassionally get the same RealAudio problems as you experienced but in these circumstances RealPlayer behaves the same as mplayer - it eventually collapses. In your situation, I think you should monitor your network connectons for errors and resets - many network errors will go unnoticed on data streams (e.g. web, file acccess) because TCP/IP will retransmit and recover. With media streams these error become more apparent. If you have significant number of errors, talk to your ISP. -- bpa ------------------------------------------------------------------------ bpa's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1806 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=28257 _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/plugins
