Cache issues #120

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 8 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago 
There are several issues about the cache:
1. The setting of cache size can't be saved. It restores to 2048k every time 
when a new browser window is opened.
2. The smallest configurable size (64k) is too small for smooth playback, and 
the second-smallest configurable size (486k) is a bit too large for Internet 
radio and it takes ten seconds to fill up and start playing. Can it be 
configurable (or default) to a medium size such as 256k?
3. There are several places (the 'General' and 'MPlayer' tab) where cache can 
be configured, can they be merged and enabled by default?

Ubuntu with gecko-mediaplayer 0.9

Thanks a lot.

have been altered there.

Hi,

Just install gecko-mediaplayer 1.0 on Ubuntu 10.10. Problem 1 & 2 just remain 
the same. There is 'Audio Cache size' and 'Video Cache size' in the 'Plugin' 
tab and it seems that they are no relevant to the MPlayer cache, and the 
MPlayer cache is not enabled by default.

Thanks again.

Cache size is only used on streaming content. And the audio cache value is only 
used when the site identifies the media as audio. Otherwise the video cache 
size is used. Can you give an example site?

Hum, the media on that page is all flash based. Do you have another more 
specific site?

Yup, that site does not identify the media as audio, so it will use the video 
cache size. 

I made a change to SVN r1826 that changed the minium value and the step size 
for setting the cache.
