Can't find your second mail, but a different user has a different 
_environment_, as well as different permissions.

Stroller.

If it also happens with pure audio files, I would suspect an issue with the 
audio subsystem.
Maybe it tries direct access. Doesn't work, so it switches to something else 
(maybe pulseaudio)
Root being allowed direct access, doesn't suffer from this?

No.
Starting mpv as root "fixes" the problem...so it is 
a permission problem (see my second mail). But mpv
does not complain about missing permissions and plays
the fileafter 5 seconds (when used as unpriveledged
user).

I am member of group "video" though and -- for example -- Blender
gets full access to video infrastructure without problems...

Do the files repose on a on a big(terabytes!) outboard drive? This
could cause a delay on account of the OS having to read the thing
first.

[gentoo-user] mpv startup times...is this guy waiting for soemthing ?

[tuxic]

Hi,

very often I use mpv to watch videos.

On my old root, the start of that tool
was nearly instantly.

With my new root, it seems, that mpv
is waiting for something. For example:

Playing: 
[ffmpeg/demuxer] flv: video stream discovered after head already parsed
[ffmpeg/demuxer] flv: audio stream discovered after head already parsed
 (+) Video --vid=1 (h264)
 (+) Audio --aid=1 (aac)
AO: [alsa] 48000Hz stereo 2ch float
VO: [opengl] 480x360 yuv420p

The above is printed instantly onto the console...than it waits
~5 seconds, then the video is started and this is printed
and updated:

AV: 00:00:00 / 01:25:09 (0%) A-V:  0.000


. This happens with flv, mp4 but it happens to pure audio
files like ogg and wav also.

I have no idea, for what mpv is waiting for --  but it annoys me.


Is it fixable...and 
if( true ) 
then 
how( "?" )
fi

:)
