Along those lines, you can use the osascript command to send applescript events to DVD Player. It's a powerful way of controlling the applications you know and love. Insert a disc and get it playing. Enter the following at the command line: osascript -e 'tell application "DVD Player"
pause dvd
end tell'
I just found how to do the equivalent with xine; there's a remote control application called "xine-remote". Included is a script to start xine in dvd mode and a pd patch to control xine remotely. There's many more commands available, and others ways to control it. Xine is lovely too... -- Marc
