When I cat the KVMV.sh and paste it straight into xterm it opens up media player and plays the stream. I'm confused???
I had all kinds of problems with cutting and pasting and nothing worked right. I entered everything manually and it worked perfectly. I used nano, but Leafpad would work as well, or vi/vim for the wussies who have problems with ed
There were obviously some type of invisible meta characters that were driving me nutz with it not working.
Many thanks, Reflektorfalke and les_garten. Thanks for persisting to help and get this sorted for me.
In the end I just opened leafpad on the N900 and typed in the all the info into a new KVMV.sh file and it worked.
It seems like les_garten's final tip was what was needed but thank you bigtime to Reflektorfalke for all your help these last few days.
I was working on this the other day, and pulled out my Hari Kari blade! Somebody else mentioned it earlier in the thread and that's what it was. Glad it's working for ya!
