I'm using MPlayer command line tool to gather informations from differents file formats with the "-identify" option (I'm not interested in playing files...). When the parsed media contains a video stream, it is possible to specify the numbers of frames to read with the "-frames" option (and it has to be at least 1 frame in order to get the applied aspect ratio); but when there is no video stream, like MPEG Elementary Stream (or mp3s), the only possible way I found to stop audio playback is to stop the process manually by pressing the 'q' key (?), which is not very convenient because I intend to use this tool as part of a batch and I don't want to use unreliable techniques like killing the process after an arbitrary timeout. So my question is:
How to stop audio playback after a specific time with MPlayer command line?
Try StreamFab Downloader and download from Netflix, Amazon, Youtube! Or Try DVDFab and copy Blu-rays! or rip iTunes movies!
