[MPlayer-dev-eng] Re: Mplayer unable to play MPEG2-TS over RTP (Was: Mplayer as a Client for VideoLAN server)

[Nico]

Hi,

I found that applying this patch

http://mplayerhq.hu/pipermail/mplayer-dev-eng/2003-July/019836.html

and increasing both MAX_PACKS and MAX_PACK_BYTES (x10) in demuxer.h

mplayer doesn't complain anymore about "Too many video packets in the 
buffer"

My TS samples are very short, (and as such not very telling);
can you please apply these patches and let me know?

Thanks,

        Nico
