Exactly kind of feature i'm looking for. Also mainly concerned about constant spinning of rotating drives (instead of spinning for e.g. 5 sec and then sleeping for remaining hour(s) length of the movie ... it keeps it running all the time). Though in my case i would prefer just memory to take care of it, but could reuse this feature for same effect: when beginning to stream file, in parallel to sending to network/client, initate reading of whole file similar to 'cat ${file} > /dev/null', so that...
