Option for mplayer to write to FIFO?

[stdevel]

Thanks for your willing to assist!
Well I have the HA running in a docker container amd64. I think that this is what is causing the fact that I cannot play media streams through lovelace cards or when I call the media_player service. ffmpeg is installed in the official docker image, but it does nothing when called and no log errors either.

Wanted:
I simply would like to have the abilitiy to stream a radio and snapcast it to a speaker (snapclient), with the issues above, this is not working and I cannot see why.
So Far:
I have been able to take your image and plug into it a /etc/asound.conf as well as a /etc/pulse/client.conf which tells it to output to write to a pipe of the snapfifo which is in a shared /tmp - this actually works! After working around file permissions but it works for albeit a few seconds until the mpeg in the radio_api crashes due to resources (already at max).
Needed/Wanted:
An image that will be able to write to a tmp file which will be configured to be the snapfifo of snapcast server (not docker) - ideally what would be REALLY awesome would be that I call via API radio station "1" with the output of snapclient and stream... https://github.com/badaix/snapcast/blob/master/doc/json_rpc_api/v2_0_0.md shows that if your radio_api could simply take an ENV of what IP is snapcast and plug in the above on call - this might actually work. Meaning of course the user would need to know the actual client_ids of the snapclient to plug into the api call to radio_api.

• I agree that this is not the current scope of your program, however this is what I am looking at achieving for my HA setup and this is only because I cannot get it to stream a simple mp3 and cast it to clients... If it is simply an image that will be able to output to a pipe file and not crash, that is already pretty great! I would be able to manually chose the stream and client maybe afterwards.

Thanks so much for your help and interest!

Highest regards,
Jeff

Interesting setup @ThongSong7!

Do you have an error message from mplayer? I try to figure out what exactly causes mplayer to crash.
