[MPlayer-dev-eng] MPlayer like a daemon and SLAVE mode

[Balatoni Denes]

Hi!


You need to redirect stdin, stdout and stderr to some sensible place (eg. 
stdin to a pipe), and than perhaps you can run mplayer -slave in the 
background and send commands to that pipe. Or you can write your own 
mplayer-daemon that 
runs an mplayer -slave process by itself, and tells it what to do through 
stdin.
