Of course, most videos are embedded in a web page. How else ...? To try playing it with mplayer or mpv does not mean that you load the web page, I am sure that you understand that. You get the link of the stream itself and try to play that. It does not always work because if session state/identifiers and/or cookies, but often it does work without restrictions. To get the stream link you go to the web page with the video, right click on it and copy the link. Then on command line: mplayer 'http...url' Don't forget the single quotes. If that plays the video, just add the cmd line options to dump the stream. Good luck with your vokoscreen thing... The first issue you will likely spend time with will be how to capture the sound, the next issue will be dropping frames, then frame synchrozation.... It sound easy, but that should be your last option to try, when you are truly desperate - to me, as casual observer, it probably is the most difficult choice. Hope that helps and good luck, Tomas > _______________________________________________ PLUG: https://pdxlinux.org PLUG mailing list [email protected] http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
