Hi,

I bought a much abused old laptop and after making a digital picture frame a while ago, I decided I would give a fireplace a go.

The laptop is a hp omnibook 6000, with 128MB RAM, I installed DSL, frugal on a 256MB compact flash, installed mplayer.dsl, installed libvga, modified /etc/vga/libvga.config, modified the startup files to not start X server, and start the mplayer with svga.

I also have DVD with fireplace film that I ripped 150MB from.
Placed the ripped vob file on an usb drive and the startup script mounts the usb drive and plays everything from it.

Now to the question, I am running the mplayer from command prompt with the line:
Code Sample
sudo /usr/bin/mplayer -loop 0 -vo svga -vf pp=lb -framedrop /mnt/sda1/*


I have no problem that the video file is repeatedly played, but in between the file playing the mplayer switches back to command prompt.  
Is there any way to avoid that?
Feel free to suggest alternative solution; I am just after a frame that would play a video of fireplace, constantly.
Thanks!

Maybe GeexBox would be a better solution
