This is my firstse of FIFO and it seems pretty straight forward
(andhould let me clean up a lot of my functions/code). I have it
functioningt the cli but when I start the player (with the same cmd)
from withinhe script, a write to the fifo file just hangs and does not
return. This happens writtingo it via script or at cli. Strange.
I'msing this in both cli and script, with $TRACK being the path to
the flacudio file.
mplayer -slave -input file=/data/cm_temp/mplayer_cmds_fifo -quiet
${TRACK} &> /dev/null
echo pause > /data/cm_temp/mplayer_cmds_fifo
Anyway, Ieally like the FIFO idea, and will work on finding why the
script-started mplayer is notetting anything write to the fifo.
Any ideasre welcome :)
Thanksveryone.
