[xine-user] read-ahead caching problem

[Florin A. <fl...@an...>]

When playing ripped VOBs over NFS, there is a distinct gap when one VOB
is over and the next one starts playing. The gap between VOBs is there
even when the VOBs are local, but it's much smaller, almost
unnoticeable.
It's not because of the network or the NFS server, because they are
quite fast.

I would suggest to cache read-ahead not only the current file, but also
the beginning of the next one. This way, there could be (almost) no gap
no matter what (well, within reasonable conditions).
