One trick you can do that is to let you work on a stream that normally won't let you do anything other than play it live. i.e. Start dumping it, then after half a minute, start playing the dumped stream with another mplayer instance. It's more flexible than increasing the cache of one mplayer instance (to play it live), as you can do things like pause and restart the player (pausing a live stream may cause a timeout and an abort, which is damn annoying with long programmes). -- [...@localhost ~]$ uname -r 2.6.27.25-78.2.56.fc9.i686 Don't send private replies to my address, the mailbox is ignored.

I tried it and it seems to be pretty much what I want: mplayer -dumpfile MyStream.out -dumpstream -playlist and a subsequent call to mplayer will then play the stream.

That will transcode the stream to your requested format, rather than capture the stream. But it's probably more what people want to do. One advantage with capturing the raw stream is that you *may* get it with some descriptive meta information in the stream (titles that give you a who, where, what, etc.).

This makes sense if the stream has both audio and video, and you wish to capture only the audio part. Then you instruct mplayer to push all video output to /dev/null instead to the display, and this increases overall performance because there is no video overhead. However, this particular stream is audio only, so the -vc and -vo options have no effect anyway.

OT: in the interests of having a more user-friendly experience, such as fast-forward etc., I also tried with gmplayer (also with -playlist). It started playing OK but on hitting the fast-forward control the UI just froze and had to be "kill -9"'ed. gmplayer seems to be someone's idea of a joke, which is a pity as mplayer is otherwise very capable. poc -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@redhat.com To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines
