[vdr] Re: No Picture shown when playing Video-files through mplayer

["Martin Hoffmann" <ma.hoff@t-online.de>]

How does your mplayer.sh look like ?

Make sure you executed mplayer (OPTIONS) </dev/zero

The </dev/zero makes it running even if it was called from VDR running as
background process. Otherwise mplayer will only show it's status but refuses
to play unless it's made a foreground process (fg)
