i've found a non-interleaved avi that with the default settings is not playable. the (linux) mplayer version suggests to use -nocache to cope with such files, and actually with that option i'm able to see the avi correctly also reading from cd.
is there a way to specify such a setting to the mplayer engine in xbmc?
thanks in advance

no, in fact non-interleaved files wont play very good @ all
it involves a lot of seeking in the file so it wont work if you're playing the file over the network. even playing over the hd wont b very good.
so its better to make it a correctly interleaved file

tks frodo,
i guess from your reply that -nocache is not supported, right?
wouldn't it be possible to specify cachesize=0 and have it translated into -nocache to the mplayer engine?
