[MPlayer-users] Slave mode over the network

[Emmanuel Mayssat]

Hello,

I would like to control mplayer over the network.
I somewhat understand the slave mode with named pipe.
Unfortunately named pipes work only on the local machine.
Is there a way to interface with a named pipe over the network (maybe
with something like an echo service that forward what is received on the
port to the local pipe) or is there another way to control mplayer in
slave mode without going through fifo file?

Thanks,
