hello i have configured plugger (plugin for mozilla) to use gmplayer to handle various media file format, this is an extract of my pluggerrc resource file: audio/mpeg: mpa,abs,mpega: MPEG audio audio/x-mpeg: mpa,abs,mpega: MPEG audio ignore_errors maxaspect exits stream :gmplayer -really-quiet -

/dev/null 2>/dev/null

this line instruct mplayer to run with stdin as source for multimedia data. this is the same like this command line: cat file.mp3 | gmplayer -really-quiet - >/dev/null 2>/dev/null but thwe behavior of mplayer is really strange, it start, sleep for a 15 ~ 20 sec. then start the plaing delayed of 15 ~ 20 sec. after a lot of seconds stop the plaing with an error of unknown file type. excuse me for my bad english, but is not my native language. bye
