How exactly are you launching mplayer? How did you configure mc to use it?

And do you want it to run in the foreground (stopping mc) or in the
background (detached from mc)?

(BTW, you do know there's 'mpv' nowadays, right?)

mplayer must be running in the foreground in order to receive your 
keyboard events.


I've found the best way to use mc for music control is to modify your 
menu file (F9 -> Command -> Edit menu file) and add entries with slave 
commands for xmms/deadbeef/whatever running elsewhere.


eg:

=+ t r & t t
Q   Enqueue tagged files in MP3 Player
deadbeef --queue %t
set %u

It's also possible to get your window manager to intercept certain key 
combos and send commands to your audio player. The technique varies from 
one wm to another.

I managed to make mplayer the default video player in mc. It is all 
fine but the keyboard control does not work anymore (eg. pause, stop, 
etc). I initially thought that I would have to put some prefix key 
like Esc-Tab for the autocompletion in the mc command line but nope. 
How to tell mc to not intercept keybindings send to running 
applications like mplayer?

mplayer keyboard control

Hiya

I managed to make mplayer the default video player in mc. It is all fine but the keyboard control does not work anymore (eg. pause, stop, etc). I initially thought that I would have to put some prefix key like Esc-Tab for the autocompletion in the mc command line but nope. How to tell mc to not intercept keybindings send to running applications like mplayer?
