I have a program that's generating audio and I can't get mplayer to play it. I'm doing./myprogram | mplayer - -cache 1024 -cache-min 30 -noconsolecontrolsAnd I get the messageCache fill: X% (Y bytes)X goes up to the specified cache-min value (but not past it) and then it keeps printing the error message:Cache not filling, consider increasing -cache and/or -cache-min!I tried some other values for cache and cache-min but none of them worked. Of course, there is a possibility that my program is somehow at fault.
Cache not filling error when using mplayer to read from stdin
linux;io redirection;mplayer
Just in case anyone else has this issue: I simply waited a bit longer instead of killing the program immediately, and it worked. Just ignore the scary messages.
