You can add -nocache to mplayer options, but it still won't work for things like video games. The problem is that an entire mpeg stream is assembled in hardware, and there has to be a lag to get it right. Or something....

One thing I've been a bit dissappointed in with regards to IVTV and the PVR150 is that playback can't be realtime with mplayer.

My previous tv tuner card, an STB bt878-based device, had real-time display that was suitable for playing video games/etc. from outside sources.

Using ivtv and mplayer, there's a buffer that has to be filled and that leads to a lag of several seconds.

Am I missing something obvious? Is there another application suitable for this purpose, or another set of parameters I can pass mplayer to achieve the same effect?
