Is there any way to increase the buffer size for the mpeg viewer? (eg. Patch, some setting I havent seen) Cause I really am tired of chopping up my movies into 5 minute segments.
In a word, no.
It already uses all the memory your player has.
Let me clarify.
On all targets
except the 60GB 5
th generation iPod, Rockbox uses all available RAM for buffering already.
You, donjworks, have a 2GB Nano if memory serves me correctly, and thus all your RAM is already in play.
60GB 5
th generation iPod owners - if you are willing to compile your own builds, there is a patch
http://www.rockbox.org/tracker/task/5472 to make your
battle station fully operational buffer larger.
A word of warning, though, is that in runtime testing I am seeing little battery life improvement with the larger buffer, and that is under ideal circumstances. If you frequently skip tracks, discard playlists, power cycle, or any other behavior which causes buffer refilling, you very likely will see decreased battery runtime due to the double-sized buffer. (well, actually due to the drive access needed to fill said buffer with data which gets discarded)
