Re: Using mplayer with seme desktop symbols for streaming stations and wlan :-)
I think that the problem of the error message is not killing mplayer, but the outer script gets reported to stop unexpectly. Propably there should be implemented a signal handler.

Re: Using mplayer with seme desktop symbols for streaming stations and wlan :-)
Hi Guys I am using a shell script on Ubuntu which uses mplayer to play internet (streaming) radio stations. I attached the script in this email. I haven't yet tried it on the freerunner, but I should probably work. It has been written by french people, so the radio are french ones, but it can be adapted.

Re: Using mplayer with seme desktop symbols for streaming stations and wlan :-)
I've just found out that you can control mplayer via a fifo file. So to quit mplayer in a good way you could do the following: 1. Create a fifo somewhere: mkfifo mplayer_fifo 2. Start mplayer within your script like this: mplayer -quiet myradiostation -input file=mplayer_fifo 3. Write this into your stop script: echo quit mplayer_fifo ___ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
Using mplayer with seme desktop symbols for streaming stations and wlan :-)
Hi, has anyone used the combination of desktop symbols starting mplayer to play shoutcast radio stations ? Also using cron jobs to wake me up in the morning with a radio station will be an option :-) Also an idea: Does someone know, if streamripper (http://sourceforge.net/projects/streamripper/) is ported to FreeRunner ? With that you would probably record for offline listening :-) I have tried that with a script like this (killall let the GUI bring up an error message I haven't yet got rid): Play a radio station #!/bin/sh killall mplayer mplayer http://yp.shoutcast.com/sbin/tunein-station.pls?id=7429 Stop playing #!/bin/sh killall mplayer Desktop file to start playing.

But instead of sending the signal to the given PID it sends the signal to all processes with the given name. Both send the SIGTERM signal when no other is specified. SIGTERM allows the process to run a cleanup routine before closing. What you probably mean is the killall -SIGKILL command which kills the process without giving it the chance for run any cleanup routines. ___ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community

Use the source, Luke.. ;-)
ch...@quad:/tmp/mplayer/mplayer-1.0~rc2$ grep exit_sighandler mplayer.c
static void exit_sighandler(int x){
signal(SIGTERM,exit_sighandler); // kill
signal(SIGHUP,exit_sighandler); // kill -HUP / xterm closed
signal(SIGINT,exit_sighandler); // Interrupt from keyboard
signal(SIGQUIT,exit_sighandler); // Quit from keyboard
signal(SIGPIPE,exit_sighandler); // Some window managers cause this
signal(SIGBUS,exit_sighandler); // bus error
signal(SIGSEGV,exit_sighandler); // segfault
signal(SIGILL,exit_sighandler); // illegal instruction
signal(SIGFPE,exit_sighandler); // floating point exc.
signal(SIGABRT,exit_sighandler); // abort()
signal(SIGTRAP,exit_sighandler);
Looking at the handler:
switch(x){
case SIGINT:
case SIGQUIT:
case SIGTERM:
case SIGKILL:
break; // killed from keyboard (^C) or killed [-9]
So there you go. Quite how they expect to be able to handle SIGKILL given you
can't catch it (or ignore it) I don't know.. ;-)
cheers,
Chris
