Hi Sascha!

It works like a dream! Thank you veeeryy much!
Now i finally got one step closer to my own Bluetooth controlled home theater. :)

Next thing i'm gona miss in Mplayer is TCP server inside the mplayer, that would
send player status info, like timecode etc. and listen for TCP command strings,
like "play file.avi", "pause", "forward 15 seconds" etc. 

This would be great feature, and i think that the TCP server code is not too big
to fit in the player itself.. I heard that there is some kind on MPLAYERD
(daemon) version, but i did not manage to get in to their website (down for some
reason) and it is only for unix at the moment..

But this is just an idea..

Keep up the good work!

Sincerely, Jehvi
