Oh well. Thanks for looking into it. If you've got a 10 minute movie from YouTube coming to you at about the same bit rate as it's playing, you've got to wait 2 minutes for it to start. If you're streaming something longer it gets really ridiculous. If on the other hand the movie is coming to you faster than it's playing back, there's no point caching. And if the movie is coming to you at less than 4/5 of the playback speed, the cache won't be enough anyway. So yes, it's daft.
That said, I've had other problems with the player in addition to this so I've gone back to using Flash. I don't really want to be signing up to every bug tracker out there so I'll leave it to someone else to take this up if they're in the mood. -- gecko-mediaplayer ignores cache size setting https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/516326 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
