Description nico 2024-09-29 15:00:19 UTC
I am missing the option to utilize my vast amount of RAM in Haruna.
MPV provides the option to extend the Ram cache like so :

>cache=yes
>demuxer-max-bytes=8000M
>demuxer-max-back-bytes=1000M

it makes seeking inside video files extremely fast and smooth, also there are no network / disk operations when using this feature which is very very nice.

Please add the option to use extra large Ram cache like mpv provides. 

Thank you !
Greetings !

You can use custom commands to set properties `set prop_name prop_value` 
and even load a config file `set include "/path/to/config/file.conf"`

Thanks George !

I spent many hours searching on how to do it before I posted here,  The Information in that specific blog did not pop up on my screen while doing so... I knew about the custom commands but was using it wrong.. the word "set" and omitting the "=" did the trick. So it is working as intended now. Thanks again.
