Since I have no simple way to upload a file, I tried to find a file with this effect on your server. And I found that they _all_ fail _completely_ to play the video when they are played like "cat foo.mpg|mplayer -". However, they play fine with "mplayer - <foo.mpg". Check Alien.mpg just as an example. I think the problem is that pipes are not seekable.
Hmm, good point. Then use "cat foo.mpg | mplayer -cache 4096 -".
This seems to solve the problem! Thanks! -- -- Josef Wolf -- jw@raven.inka.de --
