2015-10-23 I use cplay as main audio player. For video playback I use mplayer. This youtube stuff is strange, as it is music in video formats. It matched cplay's use case but needed mplayer techni- cally. Today I added minimal support to use mplayer as the play- back backend for *.mp4 and the like into cplay. (cplay is only the user interface and uses various backend players like mpg321 and ogg123.) The cplay-mplayer is neither able to display the playing time not is it able to seek within the file, but at least I can play the music in videos from within cplay. --- /usr/bin/cplay 2012-05-20 19:32:55.000000000 +0200 +++ bin/cplay 2015-10-23 10:10:34.000000000 +0200 @@ -1631,6 +1631,7 @@ FrameOffsetPlayer("splay -f -k %d %s", "(^http://|.mp[123]$)", 38.28), FrameOffsetPlayer("mpg123 -q -v -k %d %s", "(^http://|.mp[123]$)", 38.28), FrameOffsetPlayer("mpg321 -q -v -k %d %s", "(^http://|.mp[123]$)", 38.28), + TimeOffsetPlayer("mplayer -quiet -vo null -ss %d %s", "(^http://|.(mp4|flv|mkv )$)", 38.28), TimeOffsetPlayer("madplay -v --display-time=remaining -s %d %s", ".mp[123]$"), NoOffsetPlayer("mikmod -q -p0 %s", ".(mod|xm|fm|s3m|med|col|669|it|mtm)$"), NoOffsetPlayer("xmp -q %s", ".(mod|xm|fm|s3m|med|col|669|it|mtm|stm)$"), (Currently, the hooked mplayer acts like a NoOffsetPlayer not as a TimeOffsetPlayer. I should fix that and thus first understand the code.) Today, we froze mmh, in preparation for the 0.2 release next week. http://marmaro.de/lue/ markus schnalke
