Current mplayers emit an ID_EXIT=EOF or something similar when mplayer exits. You need to use the -identify option to see it. Another option would be to use gnome-mplayer and just leave it running and send it a dbus command it have it open a file. To send command to ALL running gnome-mplayers dbus-send --type=signal / com.gnome.mplayer.Play string:'http://www.hotmail.com/playfile.asx' When you know the pid of gnome-mplayer specified dbus-send --type=signal /pid/[pid] com.gnome.mplayer.Play string:'http://www.hotmail.com/playfile.asx' When --window is specified to gnome-mplayer (for embeddeding) dbus-send --type=signal /window/[windowid] com.gnome.mplayer.Play string:'http://www.hotmail.com/playfile.asx' When --controlid is specified to gnome-mplayer dbus-send --type=signal /control/[controlid] com.gnome.mplayer.Play string:'http://www.hotmail.com/playfile.asx' There are many other options that just "Play" as well, such as "Add", "Pause", "Stop", "FastForward", "Reverse", "Seek" you can start gnome-mplayer like this gnome-mplayer --window=-1 --controlid=1234 And it will remain hidden until a video is played, so that you can send it music files to play in the background.
