Multimedia :: mplayer playlist problem



I'm using mplayer from the commandline with the command

mplayer -fs -zoom -playlist playlist.txt

the problem is that everytime another movie is starting mplayer is closing and opening again. Is it possible to give a command that mplayer stays at the maximum size and just plays the next movie without closing first.

I need to play a lot of small movies and just want to have a black screen between the movies and not a screen where I can see the background processes and
codes.

thanks

This *might* work, though i haven't done much testing with it:
