mplayer

Hi guys,

I just have installed mplayer, now I'm trying to download m stream using the command

mplayer http:”*****”:8080 – dump stream – dump file test1.mpeg

This commands works fine. The thing is since it’s an ongoing stream how can I stop the download and save it? I tried Ctrl+C but it just quits without saving the download stream. Any ideas?

What does the manual page state about redirection to a file? if all else fails you can look into something called a named pipe.

some examples here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Named_pipe

Please try:
[cmd=]mplayer http:”*****”:8080 –dumpstream –dumpfile test1.mpeg[/cmd]
You can open another terminal and watch a movie:
[CMD="mplayer"]test1.mpeg[/CMD]
when you need Ctrl+C in first terminal.
