Hi, On my system, mplayer sometimes (but not always) requires two attempts to tune into a dvb channel when launched with a dvb:// url. (For example, 'mplayer "dvb://BBC ONE"' -- The first time, it comes up with "TUNING FAILED", but the second time it almost invariably works fine. My guess is it takes my dvb card longer to tune than mplayer expects?? Anyway, this causes problems for freevo and suchlike which fire up mplayer to do things like view and record TV. I'm currently running mplayer with a wrapper script that relaunches it with the same parameters if it greps "TUNING FAILED" in sterr, but obviously this is very ungraceful and is probably going to break other things. Is there a way to make this problem go away? Perhaps a --be-persistent flag? Or... ? Thanks, Simon -- "Pokey are you drunk on love?" "Yes. Also whiskey. But mostly love...
