Different cache sizes for gecko-mediapayer and gnome-mplayer #28

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 8 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago
In gnome-mplayer I have my cache set at 10192 (since I usually watch HD and
want to buffer ahead in case of high hard disk usage) but setting that
cache size for internet content is certainly too high (at least for my
connection).
Is it possible for gecko-mediaplayer to have a different cache size set?

I don't believe the cache is used when you are playing local media (unless you 
have
force cache enabled). Check the process with "ps -eaf | grep mplayer" and see 
if the
cache option is being used. If not lowering it will not change anything. 

For local media is it better not to use cache.

I do have force cache enabled, most of my content is from my local network and
opening it with cache seems to be more stable (especially when the computer 
you're
loading from is doing stuff) and especially over wifi.

Hope that clears things up :)
