Re: [orca-list] text console use

[Janina Sajka <janina rednote net>]

Hi, Didier:

I haven't set my Lynx up for youtube yet, but that's just because I
haven't gotten around to it. I believe it would take entries like the
following from my current /etc/lynx-site.cfg except that they would be
for webm and mp4:

VIEWER:audio/mp3:/usr/local/bin/m3play %s
VIEWER:audio/flac:/usr/local/bin/m3play %s

In each case these entries reference the following simple script:

<begin code>
#!/bin/bash
mplayer -ao alsa:device=plughw=3.0 -vc dummy -vo null $*
/end code>

Note I set things up this way so that could change one value when a
change might be desirable.

I also have:

VIEWER:audio/midi:/usr/local/bin/tplay %s

This directive references another simple script:

<begin code>
#!/bin/bash
timidity -iT -Os -o plughw:3 -A 120 $*
exit
<end code>

Let me add further that I use this setup very frequently in preparing
music for my weekend job as a church Music Director. I'm a big fan of
http://Hymnary.org for that purpose.
