As a wild guess I would say that mplayer is not aware it is paused at the process level (related to being in a bg'd while-loop??), so when it is resumed it tries to catch up to where the system clock or some timer says it should be. I'm thinking I need to tell it not to sync to the real time, but just carry on.
Does anyone have any ideas what causes this and how I can prevent it?
Hi Pete,
have you tried slave mode to tell mplayer nicely to pause playing instead of pulling the emergency brake and releasing it again?
Hi Kiste, I tried adding it into the mplayer script line, but no change. My problem is that mplayer is not running in a shell where I can send it signals or commands/keystrokes.
Did you try redirecting stdin from a FIFO (instead of from /dev/null), and then writing slave-mode commands to that FIFO? -- The Wanderer Warning: Simply because I argue an issue does not mean I agree with any side of it. Secrecy is the beginning of tyranny.
