If you are trying to launch Mplayer from within Lynx, I'd suggest editing your .mailcap so that application/mpegurl is mapped to "mplayer -playlist %s." I.E. audio/mpegurl; mplayer -playlist %s audio/x-mpegurl; mplayer -playlist %s This seems to work for me. -----Original Message----- From: speakup-bounces@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:speakup-bounces at braille.uwo.ca] On Behalf Of Sean McMahon Sent: Tuesday, January 04, 2005 3:34 PM To: Speakup is a screen review system for Linux. Subject: Re: mplayer If you find a playlist link using links and mplayer starts, how do you get it to play? I get some kind of an error, which If I find the time, I'll send along later. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Adam Myrow" <amyrow@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: "Speakup is a screen review system for Linux." <speakup at braille.uwo.ca> Sent: Monday, January 03, 2005 6:25 PM Subject: Re: mplayer > The -playlist flag will work with .m3u playlists as well.
