gmplayer is slow while mplayer is not
My version of gmplayer (0.90pre9-3.2) was sometimes very slow on playing mpeg movies (and only mpegs), while mplayer was running fine. The error message was:
************************************************
**** Your system is too SLOW to play this! ****
************************************************
!!! Possible reasons, problems, workarounds:
[etc...]
The solution was to find the "cache = 4" line in
${HOME}/.mplayer/gui.conf, and change the value from 4 to 512. Everything is
perfect now!
Maybe you could experiment with different values of cache,
like 1024, or 2048.
