[MPlayer-users] slave mode with fifo is not working on windows

[Reyada Wolak]

i have just tested with SVN r32492 without success.

C:\>mplayer -slave -input file=\\.\pipe\foo
MPlayer Sherpya-SVN-r32492-4.2.5 (C) 2000-2010 MPlayer Team
get_path('codecs.conf') -> 'C:/mplayer/codecs.conf'
get_path('fonts') -> 'C:/mplayer/fonts'
get_path('input.conf') -> 'C:/mplayer/input.conf'
Can't stat \\.\pipe\foo: No such file or directory

i'm trying to use fifo (accessed from Java application) with slave mode. i'm
trying to test if using fifo will give me a faster response/control.
