Hi. I needed a larger cache because I have some videos stored on another samba server and it's laggy. I set options: cache=20000, cache-min=10 , and that helped to play those videos smoothly, But that caused all 1280x720 mp4 files stored on my local drive to lag and A/V desync with mplayer message: **** Your system is too SLOW to play this! **** I tried cache values from 1000 to 80000, and they lag in any case. But without the option "cache" these videos play well. Now I commented "cache" in config. **************************************************** [default] #cache=8192 #cache-min=10 ao=alsa softvol=yes subcp=enca:ru:cp1251 af=pan=2:1:0:0:1:1:0:0:1:0.5:0.5:1:1 ass=yes **************************************************** In short, even with -nocache they play faster than with any cache.
