hi all, i use mplayer to successfully play an ".asx" stream [internet radio broadcast]. but i have every few hours a short interruption in my internet connection, upto about 10 secs. network connection is automatically restored. after each interruption in the stream mplayer's cache goes empty, so even with the huge default cache of 8192KB (> 1min audio) i end up having to quit and restart mplayer. 1) is there any way to get mplayer to try to retry/reconnect after it detects an interrupt in the media stream? 2) is there any other program that can play .asx streams and will survive these temporary interuptions of the stream (with caching)? cau, ALEX ________________________________________________________________________ Want to chat instantly with your online friends?
