Hi, I am using debian sarge (3.1_r2) with a 2.6.19 kernel from kernel.org. On this, I run a selfcompiled DirectFB 1.0.0-rc2 with MPlayer SVN rev. 21804.
Playing all kinds of videos works quite well, watching them via the dual head tv-out of my Matrox G450 is just fine. Because my PC doesn't have a monitor or keyboard attached, I want to control the mplayer via a web interface as follows: A perl program runs in the background and starts up mplayer in a pipe. Accepting telnet connections, it can forward given commands via the pipe to mplayer. Before my update vom woody 3.0, this worked well. Now, when I start the perl program, the mplayer seems getting a SIGHUP from a process which I can't identify (PID is new, uid is mine). Running mplayer with the same arguments (as root or as me) works fine. The perl script mdaemon.pl is located at http://shelms.de/linux/mdaemon.pl. Anyone here with ideas? I thought I knew perl basically, but it seems not basically enough .. Regards, Sebastian -- Every man dies.
