Howdy all, I'm trying to stream a video from a local website using elinks, but elinks is trying to download the entire video before opening it using mplayer. Is there a way I can pass the url of the link into the download command instead of the downloaded file?
What I'm trying to open: <a href="vid.mp4">Vid</a> What I currently do: I highlight that link and hit Enter. The dialog pops up and asks if I want to open with "/usr/bin/mplayer %". I select Open. Then it starts downloading the full video file. I have to wait for the entire file to download before it opens in mplayer :( What I'd like to happen: When I hit Enter, I'd like to run "/usr/bin/mplayer %url%". That way, mplayer will just stream the video without waiting for the whole thing to download :) How do I do this in elinks? Thanks!
