Keep mplayer open after video playback

Question

Is it possible to make mplayer freeze in the last frame of the video instead of closing?

I am using CLI version of mplayer in linux.

Answer 1

You can use this

#mplayer test.ogg -idle -fixed-vo

Answer 2

You can do this with mplayer's slave mode. See:

Also mentioned in the FAQ, 5th question under General Questions:

Good luck!

Answer 3

The feature you need can be supproted by adding new fscommands in a revised version. But the pause-on-last-frame feature will only work in wmp6.X rather than on 7.X.(Add the fscommand "fas.avclip.USEWMP6" to force utilize V6.X)
