[MPlayer-users] FIFO/Pipe file for commands with Windows Vista

[Petter Gran-Jansen]

I have made a Python script. The script is used in the program XBMC. This script is starting the MPlayer.

d:\mplayer.exe  -slave -input file=MplayerCmdPipe.txt <http:address>

 

I want to use the file MplayerCmdPipe.txt as a FIFO/Pipe, writing commands to this file from the script.

When I do so nothing happens at run time, only the first time the MPlayer is started and a command is in the MplayerCmdPipe.txt file .



Please tell me how to use FIFO/Pipe  file and use it to communicate with the MPlayer at the run time.

 

My OP is Windows Vista and the version of MPlayer is "MPlayer-rtm-svn-2985"

 

Best regards
