Hi,
> mkfifo $path/stream.yuv
[...]
> mplayer -nocache -vo yuv4mpeg $*
won't work because yuv4mpeg always writes to the stream.yuv in the
current directory.
I have attached my suggestion. It allows to (and you must) specify the number of wanted
slave instances as the first argument.
Main changes: checking if mkdir worked and setting mode to 700, using
-benchmark for slave instances (you will get very bad A-V desync without
that on some files!!) and "$@" instead if $*, filenames with spaces
won't work otherwise...
btw.: Playing multiple files will never work like this...
If you have more suggestions (I'm not very good at writing shell
scripts), please tell me. Otherwise I will suggest
to include this in MPlayer's TOOLS subdir.

Greetings,
