Can play while downloading?

[ghost]

Now I have to open file manager or another terminal to find the downloading .part file and play it with a player such as mplayer.
Can I play the downloading video with mplayer in the youtube-dl command?
I try to type this command:
youtube-dl http://youtube_url -f 43 | mplayer
It failed.
Can somebody help me?

You are looking for -o - but I'm not sure it will work with mplayer, let us know!

youtube-dl -o - http://youtube_url -f 43 | mplayer -
It works.Thanks.

For now, I created a small bash script, which uses python program(unnecessary if you already have youtube-dl), and youtube-dl to pipe data to stdout. Please find the script here https://github.com/ashutosh2k12/ytdl-streamer
