[MPlayer-users] using cache correctly, retrieve the status of the cache

[Petr Kuchar]

Hello,

i am using mplayer with the cache option (-cache 9999 -cache-min 50)
to play a file on a slow filesystem. Mplayer starts to play the file
after the cache has been filled. When cache is empty, mplayer is
jerking and does not wait until cache is filled again. This makes the
video unwatchable.

So my question is. How do i correctly tell mplayer to wait und fill up
the cache again?
Or how do i get the status of the cache to manually pause and resume
the playback?

I found no cache related slave commands.

Thanks a lot for any help or suggestions.
