[MPlayer-users] mplayer and stdin

[Allan K Luring]

The mplayer documentation says to use '-' as filename, or -use-stdin, to let 
mplayer read from stdin and play.

When I try this with 0.90, it complains about not being able to open the 
file <current directory>/- if I do  'cat foo.mpeg | mplayer -', and it just 
sits there doing nothing until I abort the program if I do 'cat foo.mpeg | 
mplayer -use-stdin'.
