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

[arthurpeabody]

7 years ago I asked,  'When I listen to a stream I capture it with streamripper and listen to the captured file with mplayer.  mplayer never updates the size of the file.  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.'

Today I noticed that mplayer now allows me to seek past the end of the size of the file when it was loaded.  It doesn't update the reported size, but that's minor.

Thanks!
