[maemo-developers] command line mplayer under OS2007HE - basic shell scripts to run audio or video

[From: Darius Jack]

Thanks.
Frankly speaking mplayer buttons don't work when I  play a game as a gui application.
Can't sound up/down with "-" / "+" upper button, running mplayer as command line application but I would still prefer to.

Just got some basic options
Can play mp3 file from url address http://..../*.mp3

Any chance to set volume up/down with "+" / "-" button emulated by a shell script code or have other button/s combination enabled by shell script?
With terminal opened I can play with arrows.

Unfortunately playing mp3 file from the Internet maemo hangs on and 
buttons don't play at all.
Memory/ graphics problems ?

mplayer lacks an option for selecting files in a reverse order. So here is a quick way to playback all mp3 files in reverse order:
$ ls -1 -r *.mp3 > mp3.rev
$ mplayer -playlist mp3.rev
Where,

    * -r reverse order while sorting
    * -1 list one file per line
    * -playlist file : Play files according to a playlist file



Seeks to 56 seconds:

$ mplayer movie.avi -ss 56

seeks to 1 hour 10 minutes:

$ mplayer movie.avi -ss 01:10:00
"

________
Running the new MPlayer
MPlayer can be run just as before. However, it can now open "rtsp://" URLs:

    mplayer rtsp://<servername>/<filename>
