I am issuing the folowing command (as suggested into the MplayerHQ Home
page):
# cvs -d:pserver:anonymous at mplayerhq.hu:/cvsroot/mplayer login

problem etc.


I am trying to use the CVS but it prompts for a CVS password, which I don't
have. What am I doing wrong? Should I have a CVS password, or should I
obtain one? How?


Thanks, troubled,
Kostas

-------------------------------------
Please try CVS it was recently fixed and stuff like
---
seek 15 3
pause

are now working.

But note that you can't use this with network sources or if the cache is
enabled. This is because the input will be read during blocking operations,
so network connection or cache filling can be interupted.
Also the file will be read only one time.

The "intended use" of this option is to allow control of mplayer from
the shell. You create a pipe somewhere and put
input=file=/path/to/my/pipe
in your config file. Then when mplayer is running you can control it
with echo for example:
echo "somecommand" > /path/to/my/pipe

But feel free to do whatever you'd like with it :)
