Using mplayer to extract audio file from a CD

Works really well for playing DVDs, which have the volume turned way down for some reason. The `2' method is better IMHO because it will adjust to changing loud/soft parts. If you want to add it to your ~/.mplayer/config: # format: volnorm[=method:target] # method: # 1: use single sample (default) # 2: multiple samples # target: # default is 0.25 af-add=volnorm=2:0.75

Substitute whatever track number you want into the "dvd://1" parameter. The "-aid 128" is to select the English language.

create a copy of a video file without the audio tracs

This commands does just two things: fakes user agent (the one was taken from recent Android app) and sends the (possibly) listener ID (it can be any - I put "1" here because it works like a charm - after the name of stream ?1 as you can see).

I use this to convert mp3 files to m4a files that can be used as ringtones on the iPhone. I've documented the process here: http://www.control-d.com/?p=60

This directly puts the "mirror" into fullscreen, and lets you take photos by pressing the 's' key. I bet appearance conscious people will have keyboard shortcut for this command by now.

Get sopcast links for live sports from http://myp2p.eu (for example) Get sp-sc or sp-auth binary by googling (sopcast + linux) eg http://www.jbg.f2s.com/sp-sc.gz Requires the 32bit libstdc++5 package. After exiting mplayer, type 'killall sp-sc'

The solution to a year long (and extremely frustrating) problem I've had, caused by the fact that I only have one speaker; this command downmixes the stream to monophonic output, making sure I don't miss any of the music. NOTE: When stream is in .m3u format, a -playlist option is required, as shown below: mplayer -af pan=1:0.5:0.5 -channels 1 -playlist radiostream.m3u This command works great with aliases for various channels in .bashrc. Sample below: alias radio1='mplayer -af pan=1:0.5:0.5 -channels 1 radio1stream.pls'

Skip forward and back using the < and > keys. Display the file title with I.

this command example converts to 25 fps subtitles that were originally created for 24 fps movie

Usage: say hello world how are you today

Above command will play Virgin Radio Dubai

This is my favorite music player I use in my beloved Linux systems,server or desktop Enjoy :-) Show Sample Output

Press > or < to go to the next or previous track. Space to toggle play/pause, etc. It creates a temp file descriptor. To see where the file descriptor gets created type: echo <(echo foo) This works better than running find first, then piping to mplayer with xargs or something, because that won't let you use keyboard shortcuts.

requires sp-auth installed This command will auto kill sp-sc after vlc is closed, so u wont have to do it manually

So... I saw this: http://www.commandlinefu.com/commands/view/5385/play-all-the-music-in-a-folder-on-shuffle And I thought it would be cool to make it so that it will play songs in subdirectorys too. from: http://lists.mplayerhq.hu/pipermail/mplayer-dev-eng/2011-March/067853.html Show Sample Output

Better awk example, using only mplayer, grep, cut, and awk. Show Sample Output

Creates a better looking gif than the original post via imagemagick processing high quality jpgs, rather than converting directly to gif from the video itself.

Improvement on Coderjoe's Solution. Gets rid of grep and cut (and implements them in awk) and specifies some different mplayer options that speed things up a bit. Show Sample Output

It will just start playing and will not stop at the point that it has downloaded up to when the video starts

If you want avoid to be annoyed when playing your favourite video files with your video player, first run this command to stash wrong files (and test tricks to play these wrong files). Show Sample Output
