I'm trying to troubleshoot my AlienBBC setup where mplayer is failing. I get an error from mplayer after running this command:
$ mplayer -vc dummy -vo null -cache 128 -af volume=0,resample=44100:0:1 -ao pcm:file=/dev/fd/3 rtsp://sr-rm.qbrick.com/broadcast/cluster/encoder/02038_p1.rm ... [AO PCM] File: /dev/fd/3 (WAVE) PCM: Samplerate: 44100Hz Channels: Stereo Format s16le [AO PCM] Info: fastest dumping is achieved with -vc dummy -vo null PCM: Info: to write WAVE files use -waveheader (default). [AO PCM] Failed to open /dev/fd/3 for writing! Could not open/initialize audio device -> no sound. Audio: no sound Video: no video The following works so sound should be ok: $ mplayer -vc dummy -vo null -cache 128 -af volume=0,resample=44100:0:1 -ao alsa rtsp://sr-rm.qbrick.com/broadcast/cluster/encoder/02038_p1.rm I have no idea what /dev/fd/3 is. What is it used for? It is sometimes linked to somewhere in /proc and it changes dynamically. Right now I don't even have a /dev/fd/3. I've run this test (found here http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=13608) echo hello > tmpfile cp tmpfile /dev/fd/3 3>&1 1>&2 which displays "hello" in the console I'm running the server on a linux pc $ uname -prs Linux 2.6.12-gentoo-r10 Pentium MMX Any ideas?
