Instead of manually copying and replacing, how about creating a script or deb that will update with non-duplicate entries. would that be possible or an overkill?

Works whether they are audio, mp3 feeds, or video.

Not quite sure what is the difference of "//" vs "/" at the beginning of the command. Anyhow, on top of setting the path and cache, there are quite some options one can play with mplayer,

_____________________________________________

To fine tune mplayer, use emelfm2 to do the modification, /etc/mplayer/mplayer.conf
added the following to the bottom of the file, mplayer.conf
softvol=yes
softvol-max=400
audio-delay=yes
audio-delay=10
This increases vol and better AudioVisual de-sync.

And of course, you can always use OSD to change on the last minute,
+/- to adjust audio delay etc. If the clip you want to see is jerky, try some of these in degree of inconvenience,

1) try media player ---- it works better but decodes less video formats
2) dl and play -------- it always better
3) -nosound --------- this one works 100%, but there is sound , works well with a lot of wildlife channels, like oregon zoo or discovery channels
4) -framedrop ----- see very little effects. I guess it must on by default?

Any more options?
