Hi, I am experiencing an accumulating delay while playing h.264 stream using mplayer(1.0 rc2-4.3.2). The delay is accumulating very slowly. Initially, there is no noticeable delay at all for first 10-15 min. And then gradually, the delay becomes visible. After a overnight run, the video looks frozen. And then every now and then, there is some jerky video playback (like one will see while fast-forwarding a video), and then the video freezes. I used following command line options and followed the mplayer manual to my very best, but in vain. -slave -flip -nosound -nomousinput -loop 0 -lavdopts skiploopfilter=nonref -hardframedrop I tried the same in windows. There I have a constant delay of 1 sec. But nothing is getting frozen. So, what else can I try? Regards, Anirban -- ------------------------------------------- Anirban Dutta Choudhury Dipl. El-Ing.
