[MPlayer-users] MPlayer & RAM files

[Steve Waller]

Aha! I seem to be getting somewhere here. I went back to the website I
mentioned
earlier and ran the "svn checkout " command.

I then tried my RAM file again and heard it playing the streaming audio, but
it
only played for about 30 secs. This was the output:

Macintosh:RAM Files me$

So, the questions I have are:

1. Why does it not play the whole stream? (When I run MPlayer in Linux this
file
works)
2. Can it be made to play to the harddrive, so I don't hear it while
streaming?
(once again, pretty sure Linux doesn't do this)
3. How do I specify output file name (presumably wav?) and location?
4. I can run mplayer from terminal, but how do I put this in my Applications
folder? I can't find a file called mplayer.app anywhere

Thanks in advance!
