OK, downloading news podcasts to the N800 and playing them via mplayer is a little choppy, and downright not do-able with just plain ol' "mplayer" via the xterm command line. Does anyone have a decent command line they use to optimize playback of video podcasts or m4v files?
I would then probably alias the command or make a tiny shell script out of it, but up front, if anyone has a good method for a less choppy presentation, drop some knowledge in this thread! Thanks!
