I want to launch MPlayer via SSH and let it run (I’m a radio fan). For this I SSH to my remote machine (a Cubietruck running LUbuntu) and I issue the following command:
screen mplayer -playlist .path/to/the/playlist
Everything works as expected, but when I exit my SSH session the music stops altogether. After logging back in I cannot find my screen instance anymore (screen -ls
says No Sockets Found in /var/run/screen/
)
I’ve used screen with another application (such as rTorrent) and everything worked ok. Is this a specific MPlayer issue?
Update: the reason I use screen and I'm not going the "nohup" way is that I want to re-gain access to the mplayer instance (change the station, change the playlist etc.)
