hsyed26:
hey,

sorry if this is old news. what's the largest file size that the mpeg plugin can play?

on a gigabeat, i've managed to get a 2 mb file to play but anything larger than that doesn't load. a black screen shows up with the words buffering and then the screen returns to the main menu of the player.

is this related to the plug-ins ability to only handle a 25mb cache size?

thanks,

hsyed26

gnu:
On my ipod nano, a 20 MB file played without any problems.

markun:
I just tried elephants dream (60MB) on my Gigabeat F40 and it plays fine

hsyed26:
hmmm, weird then. i have no clue why it won't play the larger files.

would resetting to the original config files help? or should i look for the newest bootloader?

thanks,

hsyed26

"Current limitations

Audio decoding and .mpg file parsing were added to mpegplayer on 1 January 2007. This is still a work-in-progress and is missing the following major features:

    * Rebuffering - mpegplayer just buffers as much video as it can fit into your player's memory, plays it and then stops. It doesn't refill the buffer and continue playing.
..."

Don't know if it's updated to reflect the status of mpegplayer as of today though. But, still.
