Hey,
I scanned through the mailing lists, and no one seems to have brought
this up before; what are the possibilities of creating a FIFO pipe in
/tmp/ such that messages could piped to the OSD; i.e. other applications
could be configured to print notifications in the subtitle area. Even
something silly like piping a 'biff' to the output or a transfer
completion from another app. All mplayer would need to do is accept the
pipe (i.e. /tmp/.mplayer-messages) and print it using the existing OSD
methods. (I'm not implying that it's trivial to implement, just the
scope of effort)
Thanks,
Aubin
