Have you tried
s.print(“loadfile http://94.232.114.240:6804 1\n”);
s.flush();
?
Opening the same URLs from the GUI does work?

Adrian, sorry this took a long time.
Appending 1 doesn’t work. Still mplayer quits.
What exactly do you mean by escape backslash?. there is the code:
s.print(“loadfile http://94.232.114.240:6804 0\n”);

While reviewing the protocol documents, I noticed that under the Slave Protocol, there is something called “change_rectangle”. There are also properties for “height” and “width”. But as best I can tell, these don’t seem to do anything. Or I am sending them wrong.

Any ideas on what these commands/properties do and/or how to use them?

There is an option to set the location and size of the video window when the application starts, but I can’t seem to find a way to move or adjust its size once the window is open.

Just curious if anyone has tried these commands and/or if they even work.

Thanks.

Unfortunately I don’t know a (simple) way to do this. For sure you will need to write JNI code for doing it.

Great article. Thanks for posting this.

One question: Has anyone been successful in embedding the player in the associated java application? Right now, I’ve got everything working, but the MPLayer always opens in its own window. I’d like MPlayer to open up in a Frame within the java app. Is that possible?

Thanks again for the posting.

loadfile should work. I think you should escape the backslash (simply double it). Try also with append = 1.

Thank’s for this tutorial.
My project involves only sound and url instead of files. Your sample code works great to open first url.
But how to (click a button or enter in menu as SMPlayer) and open another url? loadfile doesn’t seem to work, mplayer quit! What may be the code for an empty play function and send url’s as string to open?
Thank’s again.

As far as I know, this is not possible. At least in easy way. Maybe using JNI and making your code totally platform dependent.

Can I put Mplayer in a new Jframe??

I guess that the delay is due to the fact that MPlayer is loading the video. I don’t know if you can do something like preload.
You can load list dinamically. Please see the command “loadlist ” from slave mode documentation.
