Great Tips

I'm a huge fan of mpv itself. It plays anything you throw at it, audio video etc.

At one point I decided that the home theater software at home would be bash+mpv.

Amazing how good people get at unix when they have to.

Comment on Audio Streams on the Command Line

Kevie, very clear and concise talk on examples of using the command line.
Thank you for giving the terminal some love, and encouraging us all to do the same.

Command Line

Thanks Kevie for your Command Line tip. I tried the cvlc player, and... it works! I am not a heavy Command Line user, but I like it, and it is inspiring to learn from your knowledge.
