[MPlayer-users] mplayer doesn't update the size of a growing file

[Miriam English]

Nobody else has answered this so I'll take a stab at it.
Have you tried playing direct from mplayer instead of via streamripper?
I haven't tried this, but mplayer can play from an rtsp streaming input.

For example:
mplayer rtsp://server.example.com/streamName

There are some rtsp-related options in the manual too, so if you have 
difficulties it might pay to try some of them.

Hope this helps,

When I change the position, if it's past the size of the file when I started mplayer, mplayer quits.  This isn't a terrible problem, I just have to restart, but it'd be nice if I didn't have to.  less has a -f switch that causes it to refresh the size of the target file continuously.
