When I first tried using a mplayer GUI (don't remember which one) several years ago, it was so buggy that I decided to give up on it and learn to use mplayer from the terminal. Never looked back. Maybe today GUI's are better, but I still only hear about problems with them. Incidentally, I tried to play the link you posted, and it does play (with the -playlist option). The fast-forwarding *should* work in the console as well (using the cursor keys), but in this case it doesn't. I also had to killall mplayer (twice, though it worked without the -9). This may be a bug, but I bet that the codec for .ram just doesn't support seeking or is broken or something. If you have the whole file on the disk, and if seeking works when playing the file, then I guess increasing the cache buffer might help with seeking in streams, but I'm not sure. Best, :-) Marko P.S. Goedel's incompleteness theorem is indeed an interesting topic, I'll probably listen it all later this afternoon. :-) -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines
