[MPlayer-users] My question of the hour, does anyone know source inside out?

Quoting fixed. Please fix your mailer to correctly indent quoted
material with angle brackets. Also, please use shorter lines, preferably
no longer than about 78 characters.

In answer to your question: if you want MPlayer's playback window to
remain open after playback finishes (e.g. so that you can send it
commands via slave mode), you need the '-idle' option. However, it
sounds like you are seeing a 'DOS window' (command prompt) opened when
MPlayer launches, and you are asking for that window to not be closed
when MPlayer exits; if this is the case, then I suspect you need to
investigate the options of the program which is behind that window,
since MPlayer is not creating that window and so cannot affect its
disappearance.
