Been possible and done for many years now. I believe gaps mainly show up for videos that aren't of similar encoding settings. XBMC doesn't even use mplayer anymore.
Hi Ned Scott,
Thanks for the reply,
I agree with mplayer not being used now, DVDPlayer is the default video player,
Please help me understand, I have a folder with of about 5 MTS files recorded with same camcorder (all with exact same settings), all recorded in a span of 20 mins, what I am trying to say is I believe these have exact same encodings,
yet once the first video is completed, the xbmc player shows a 'loading dialog' for about 2+ seconds and then plays the next one - this gives an impression that the files are not stacked or the consecutive files are not pre-buffered (when first one about to complete),
I have years of video folders when showing them off to my family, using my favorite player xbmc, it is quite noticeable (actually annoying for some).
FYI, xbmc and videos are in the same machine with latest XBMC
I also have videos over the LAN where the lag more noticeable - it is ok if there r problems for videos in LAN (thou it will be gr8 to have that work too), but atleast while in same m/c I am hoping the videos can play seamlessly.
I am more than willing to contribute to implement changes if required, though I come from Java bkground,
First and foremost, as you mentioned, if this is already working in some ways that I don't know (like many others in the forum) we don't want to reinvent the wheel right.
thanks much in advance,
Naresh
