Useing '-o none' will suppress writing data to a file (used with the -P switch when movgrab is writing to a specified player program)


But an even better solution is

movgrab -s http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oP59tQf_njc | mplayer -

This will activate 'streaming mode' in which data is written to a file, and then written out of standard out. This handles 'pause' on mplayer better, movgrab will keep writing to the cache file, even downloading the whole movie while mplayer is paused, and then resuming transfer to mplayer when it is unpaused.

movgrab -sc http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oP59tQf_njc | mplayer -

This command works the same as the -s streaming command, except that the file will be kept after playing is finished (not deleted as with -s). If movgrab is asked to get the same file again, it will check in the current directory to see if a previous download exists, and replay that rather than downloading a fresh copy.

-q will tell movgrab to be 'quiet', not to print out any information as it works.

-b will tell movgrab to fork into the background so you can carry on using the console (implies -q too)
