[MPlayer-dev-eng] Stop state in Slave mode without GUI?

[Timothy Lee]

Dear Selwyn,

My guess is that you would like to run MPlayer as a daemon, and not 
terminate when a movie finishes playing?

I'm currently working on a patch that does exactly that.  It adds a 
"-daemon" option which tells MPlayer to stay in an infinite loop when no 
movies are playing.  When MPlayer is inside that loop, it responds to a 
subset of the slave commands:  "loadfile", "loadlist", "switch_ratio" 
and "quit".

I will be posting that patch when it has been more fully tested.


Regards,
Timothy
