Hi,
I noticed that mplayer's video playback starts to skip if I do some serious copying or grepping on the disk with movie being played from.
nice helps, but does not eliminate the problem. I guessed that this is a problem with mplayer failing to read next portion of input data in time, so I used Jens's ionice.c from Documentation/block/ioprio.txt
I am using it this:
ionice -c1 -n0 -p<mplayer pid>
but so far I don't see any effect from using it. mplayer still skips.
Does anybody have an experience in this? -- vda - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
