I've always just defaulted to VLC for all my multimedia needs except Amarok handles my music collection. I always saw Kaffeine as pretty pointless but recently I came to a problem. I watch Bloomberg and a couple of news sites the whole day on my laptop while I work on my school stuff. VLC handles the streams flawlessly but I can't pause, play and rewind the streams i.e. get a DVR like experience with VLC. However, Kaffeine seems to offer this functionality but I can't get it to open a .asx/.asxx stream and play.
This is an example of a stream:
http://www.bloomberg.com/streams/video/LiveBTV200.asxx
It plays fine in VLC but I can't pause it, go to the bathroom and resume from where I left off or jump back 5 min in case I've missed something. Which I really need!
Anybody know how to set Kaffeine or VLC up for this or know another program that will give me this functionality? Ideally I'd love to set it up for say a 1hr buffer going backwards from the live stream and I want to be able to jump comfortably around in that buffer zone.
Thanks a ton guys.
