Okay, got it working. Looks great! Here are some things I've noticed:
- The "video_player" line in the user's config file needs to be "mplayer %s". My problem was that my player command already had the -dumpfile arguments and that was throwing the script off.
- I think it's buffering too long. Since seeking doesn't work very well anyway, I would think that no more than 3 seconds lead time would be enough.
- When playback is stopped with the "x" key, the background mplayer process continues to dump video onto the hard drive. The mplayer process should be stopped when playback stops.
- I'm currently using the Aeon skin and when I do, there is no indicator in the script what menu item is selected. It's like flying blind. It works OK in PM3.HD, tho.
