[MPlayer-users] Pause and UDP slave mode

[Edit B]

Hi guys,

Controlling a file over UDP. Works swell for normal playback, but Mplayer
does not seem to understand backwards playing, not even on I frame only
material.

But worse, if I pause the clip (either stop the UDP sending or keep sending
the same time), Mplayer pauses the video but keeps playing a bit of sound.
(some 300 Msecs) in a loop.
That gets kinda annoying.
Is there a way of preventing this?
Also, when Mplayer is paused like this, it is not responsive anymore, moving
/ scaling the window is no longer possible.
Are there more commands I can send besides time and "bye" ?

Thx,

Bouke

Sounds like buggy audio output module or even audio driver, at least
the better ones should stop after an underrun.
Otherwise I guess if you want pause support you'd probably have to add
that.
Because currently the slave will just continue to play after 30 seconds.

Yes, it is stopped in the timing function, it can't even
redraw the window in that case.

Not yet.
