rtc vs. softsleep
by Sebastian Krämer 15 Mar '06

15 Mar '06

Hi mplayer-folks! I noticed that there were suggestions to mplayer users that RTC wasn't that good at all; that the error message from mplayer about not being able to use rtc didn't hurt and should be ignored or even that one is better off without rtc. Me personally didn't ever have any problem with rtc. I set everything up so that my non-root user is able to use it, no complain from mplayer.. and no CPU issues either. Now I'm asking myself if that rtc vs. softsleep thing is important for the DOCS. As stated in mplayer's man page, rtc isn't supposed to use more cpu, the opposite is (?) the case: > -softsleep > Use high-quality software timers instead of the RTC. As precise as the RTC > without requiring special privileges. Comes at the price of higher CPU > consumption. I was wondering about this weeks ago when I translated the man page, having some mplayer-users mails in mind. Just thought it couldn't hurt to start a discussion about this. :) Any opinions? Sebastian

[PATCH] mpegopts example
by Dominik 'Rathann' Mierzejewski 14 Mar '06

14 Mar '06

Just a quick copy&paste from -lavcopts. Inspired by one #mplayer user, who didn't know -mpegopts options needed to be separated with ':'. R. -- MPlayer developer and RPMs maintainer: http://rpm.greysector.net/mplayer/ There should be a science of discontent. People need hard times and oppression to develop psychic muscles. -- from "Collected Sayings of Muad'Dib" by the Princess Irulan
