[MPlayer-users] Streams intermittently play or don't?

[Jim Cross]

I'll look at playing a bit more with -nocache ->  -cache 320
-cache-min 0 (or 1 if 0 is not allowed)  but from memory, the previous
version of MPlayer, I kept -nocache  option as some streams played with
this and not -cachexxxx. So need to play a bit more to see if still the
case.

I did run config the second time prior to make. In the config.log, I can
only find (search for 'Ogg'):

Checking for OggVorbis support
Result is: no

And

Checking for OggTheora support
Result is: no
