Re: Watching LXTerminal for outputs (secrets)

Hi :)

Look, my secrets [mpg321], [ddg://site:perlmonks.org mpg321], [google://site:perlmonks.org mpg321], [metacpan://mpg321], [metacpan://mpg321], [cpan://mpg321], [href://http://search.cpan.org/search?query=mpg321&mode=all] mpg321, site:perlmonks.org mpg321, site:perlmonks.org mpg321, mpg321, mpg321, mpg321 , http://search.cpan.org/search?query=mpg321&mode=all

Perl/CGI Question - mod_perl IPC / Unix / mpg321..., Managing and sending signals to control MPG321, POE::Component::Player::Mpg123

Even more secrets [man://mpg321] mpg321 "Remote control" mode. Useful for front-ends. Allows seeking and pausing of mp3 files. See README.remote (in /usr/share/doc/mpg321 on Debian and some other systems.)

Thank you but I have read most of the documentation on this already. My script is within an infinite while loop and I cannot have mpg321 stalling the script. So I have a "system("mpg321 song.mp3 &"); line that lets it play in the background without stopping the script. I know that backticks will return a value but in my case I have to wait for the song to be finished playing so I am unsure how to pull these values from the terminal.	[reply]

Thank you but I have read most of the documentation on this already. What? Why not use the modules? Or view their source to see what they do? My script is within an infinite while loop and I cannot have mpg321 stalling the script. POE is all about infinite loops, use POE::Component::Player::Mpg123, it won't stall So I have a "system("mpg321 song.mp3 &") That probably won't work, you should use IPC::Open3,like Audio::Play::MPG123 does ( [jargon://UTSL), see also perlipc	[reply]
