Thank You for Your time and answer, Darac: >> Do You know how I can get exit status on mplayer2 operation: > >Check the contents of the $? variable immediately after executing >mplayer2. The convention is that 0 means success and >0 means error.
Actually, I run it from a perl script, checking for the variable (it is the same as in bash), it shows me zero - that is OK, but it is not so, and I think mplayer2 supposes in case is was plaied OK, than exit status OK too - regardless of writing failure. Same situation w/ bash: mplayer2 -nolirc -vo null -vc dummy -cache 4096 -cache-min 30 -ao pcm:waveheader:file=./1.wav *.m4a; echo $? It shows zero. And plays whole the file. May Yoo know how to make mplayer2 to show tag info only and exit? - In that case I can decompress w/ mac - for it returns correct exit status. >> Another question, I have mac command from monkeys-audio that can do >> the same, but how do I fetch tag info from the input file? > >Try pacpl <http://packages.debian.org/search?keywords=pacpl>. "pacpl >--to flac YourFile.ape", for example, should convert the file while >preserving the tagging information. Well. I do not need that. I just want to decompress w/ exit status available - whether it was written correctly or not, and to fetch available tag info. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
