What options can I use in totem, xine or vlc to play on machines with limited resources?
- by Nina
Mplayer has some options that allow me to play it on a machine with limited resources. I can use mplayer -vo x11 -zoom -framedrop to play videos when otherwise I'd run out of memory. At least I think I'm running out of memory. I am running our of some resource for sure.
-vo sets the video output driver
-zoom actually I don't know what this does, but it works for me ;-)
-framedrop allows mplayer to not render frames if it falls behind.
Are there similar command line controls (or a defaults file) for totem, vlc or xine?
