Fab,
rexx port for MPlayer

Anyway, if you need a list, type in a shell:

rx "options results; address MPLAYER.1; 'help'; say result"

Note that the "raw" command expects an internal mplayer command (which are described in mplayer documentation), so in fact, all mplayer commands can be reached from mplayer rexx port, that way.

Guessing? System:Applications/MPlayer>rx "options results; address MPLAYER; RAW-get_time_pos

I have a video playing--press the period button--the video pauses--How to get the time at that position in the video file?

The command in the MPlayer list of commands says "get_time_pos

The raw commands meant to return a value will probably not work, since they just display it to mplayer stdout, IIRC. Anyway, you could use the special rexx command for that:
rx "options results; address MPLAYER.1; 'query position percent'; say result" would give you the position in %.

A votre sante!

The command returns the the amount of time elapsed in the video.

It is given in whole seconds. The video is in 30 frames/second.
I think MPLayer can read in 1/1000 per second.
Can position time be expressed in 1/100 of a second?

rx "options results; address MPLAYER.1;'query position time';say result"
Sacre Blue!

Hi,

if you want it a little shorter, use this:
rxcmd MPLAYER.1 "QUERY POSITION PERCENT"

The raw commands meant to return a value will probably not work, since they just display it to mplayer stdout. How do access mplayer stdout??

Start MPlayer from a shell window.
