Hi, there,
Anybody knows how to pass an address from a web browser to a program by clicking on the link? This is intended to handle streaming videos. For example: on a website, I have a link to the address "http://(something).avi", is it possible to click on the link using mouse to invoke mplayer (no plugins, please), without downloading the file? Let's say I am working with Firefox or Opera. I actually would like to manipulate the URL (by using a shell script) after clicking as well, if that's possible.
Thanks!
