Talk:MPlayer

Variable needed

I think it might help others who want to play video from the console to know that running 'export SDL_NOMOUSE=1' could be necessary first.

Removing the configuration example?

I noticed that removing examples is becoming quite common, but in this case I think is fairly unfair. The example in the manpage (or the link) is almost a joke (e.g., flip=yes seriously? instead the one in this page was fairly good with also some non obvious configurations (e.g., the audio up/down mix). Can I put it back?

Please add a link to the edit that you don't agree with. -- Lahwaacz (talk) 06:53, 9 April 2015 (UTC)

I'm guessing at [1] (odd to mention this almost 1 year later). I'm against re-adding it verbatim - syntax tends to change, chosen options are subjective, and descriptions duplicate the manual most of the time. I suppose you could add it to a gist and link to it from the article. -- Alad (talk) 12:53, 9 April 2015 (UTC)

Internet Radio Script Mess

The internet radio script needs to be revisted completely. Simply paste into shellcheck.net for the many reasons why. The $(ps -eo user,comm ...; with its command-substitution containing 3-pipes, 2-calls to sed and another call to grep can simply be replaced with $(ps -q $(pidof -s mplayer) -eo user --no-headers). I was surprised to find this in an Arch wiki page, a bit embarrassing. David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E. -- Rankin Law Firm, PLLC (talk) 16:45, 10 December 2024 (UTC)
