I thought streaming would be easier because I do not want to close and
reopen mplayer, but I might misunderstand how mplayer works.I tested mplayer
to stay opened and load a file, but I'm unable to catch when mplayer is done
playing the curent video.

As you already did it, and reinventing the wheel is useless...
Any clue or code to share ? ;)
