Subject:	SCOUG-Help: Mplayer and Yorba Linda City council meetings

Content Type: text/plain

If you picked the February 19, 2008 meeting, it DOES stay on the seal for a long
time, but eventually gets into the meeting. I have set the cache values as
denoted by Mark, but it makes not difference with the hangs. It happens either
via streaming or on a downloaded copy.
