From f8128f6570cfee1d076811c8c2abb9e82c4834bc Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: der richter Date: Sat, 14 Nov 2020 14:33:17 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] stream_file: disable read ahead for remote files on macOS this can cause stutter on remote files because in certain cases this causes a reconnect to the remote that leads to the file not being read fast enough. VLC had the same problem and fixes it the same way. https://github.com/videolan/vlc/commit/b8b8c438f8f65a93da82364c8fea1dbf987c4a8e Fixes #4434 --- stream/stream_file.c | 9 ++++++++- 1 file changed, 8 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/stream/stream_file.c b/stream/stream_file.c index 0ba12278ab..4895a8301b 100644 --- a/stream/stream_file.c +++ b/stream/stream_file.c @@ -340,8 +340,15 @@ static int open_f(stream_t *stream, const struct stream_open_args *args) stream->get_size = get_size; stream->close = s_close; - if (check_stream_network(p->fd)) + if (check_stream_network(p->fd)) { stream->streaming = true; +#if HAVE_COCOA + if (fcntl(p->fd, F_RDAHEAD, 0) < 0) { + MP_VERBOSE(stream, "Cannot disable read ahead on file '%s': %s\n", + filename, mp_strerror(errno)); + } +#endif + } p->orig_size = get_size(stream);
