[MPlayer-users] probs with files > 2GB

[wil]

Hmmm.....did read all the stuff on the web site
including "Appendix C. Known bugs" before sending this mail,
couldn't find a thing about this there.
Also in the source i checked the doc section and nothing there
either....so i figured there was no buglist apart from the one
on the web 'Appendix C. Known bugs'

Anyways, the index thing means using -idx for me cause people
stream the movies from the linux box and i don't think there's
a windows player which will read seperate idx files on the samba
share before starting the stream.
Any idea when odml will be implemented?

Thanks for the reply,
Cheers,
Willem.
