(Raspberry Pi Model B)
I have a really long audio file I'd like to play.
It's 10 hours long (white noise)

However, when playing it with mplayer it only gets to 4 hours before determining it's now end of file.

I know the audio file isn't corrupted past this point since I can fast-forward to 3:59:00:0 and let it play and it works fine (at least for the 2m I let it play)

I could in theory break up the file into 3.5 chunks to stay below the limit but I'm wondering if this is a inherent limitation of mplayer (didn't expect 4hr+) or if it's a bug.

Sounds like a mplayer feature. Perhaps a 32 bit counter is overflowing?

Try the mplayer mailing list.

What type of file it is? What format?

It's an audio file ogg format (vorbis)

Did you tried ogg123?

And yea mplayer has very nice ui.
