mplayer : one instance, adding file to the playlist ?
Hi,
is it possible to do with mplayer the same like vlc, having only one instance at a time ?
Also, I would like when mplayer is called trough an application or when I click on a media file, not playing the media but adding it to a "dynamic" playlist, like vlc does.

You could write a little script that would check if mplayer is already running and use it to add to a playlist file, but I think mplayer would have to reread the file to accept new elements, which probably occurs only on launch. Check out mpv.

Check how to use slave mode protocol, then use this:
http://www.mplayerhq.hu/DOCS/tech/slave.txt
loadfile <file|url> <append>
Load the given file/URL, stopping playback of the current file/URL.
If <append> is nonzero playback continues and the file/URL is
appended to the current playlist instead.
