I'm trying to find out if there's already a application in existence or a way to preload (cache/ buffer) couple minutes ahead of live streaming media e.g. live stream onine TV, rtmp protocol etc.. in order to play it smooth on vlc media player and even at low bandwidths. I don't mind getting the live feed 30 minutes later.
another hint: VLC media player only allows 9999 ms buffer time for streams and am looking for some way to expand this ..by 10 min or so :)
