[MPlayer-users] How to use -slave option with bash and terminal (python)

[Peter Irbizon]

Hello, I have this bash_script.sh
#!/bin/bash
res=$(mkfifo /home/user/mplayer-control)
res=$(mplayer -slave -input file=/home/user/mplayer-control movie.mp4)

When I run it, mplayer starts. But I am not able to pause it from another
terminal with:
echo "pause" > /home/user/mplayer-control

What am I doing wrong?

Works for me. More info would be needed to see what was going wrong.
The terminal output would be a good start. Also, I don't see the purpose
of those res=$() constructs. They are not te culprit but seem rather
pointless. Unless that is not the whole script. If so, provide the full
version, please.

Oh sorry, my bad. Now it works ok. (no idea why it didn't work, but now it
works)
