It works great, but I changed it a bit for my own use and thought you might be interested. Instead of downloading the video before playing it I wanted to just buffer it for a few seconds and then start playing it while the rest downloads. This allows me to pause and jump back etc. which wasn't possible with the live stream: <code> pastetext = 'cd /media/1T/Movies/Uitzending && '; pastetext+= "mplayer -dumpstream -user-agent 'Windows-Media-Player/11.0.6001.7000' "; pastetext+="-playlist '"+source+"' -dumpfile '"+titel+"-"+datum+".wmv' </dev/null & "; pastetext+="sleep 10 && kmplayer '"+titel+"-"+datum+".wmv' && cd -" </code> The interesting thing was that mplayer will not run in the background without that </dev/null (it expects some input). I hope this is of some interest to you or someone else. Thanks again! Thanks for the script! It works great, but I changed it a bit for my own use and thought you might be interested.
