Google knows.

It is a special software used in the distribution of software.

It's a cat with a funny hat.

(Seriously, google is your friend. gzip filtered cat. Potentially smarter than just gzip, depending on the system and trickery involved with a specific environment).

Missed that answer the first time.

Hi guys, firstly a huge thanks to Geekmaster and everyone involved, this has helped me to realise a project I am working on..
with limited coding knowledge I have managed to stumble my way through getting this up and running on my kindle4, and have encoded my own video to play too.

I wonder if someone can answer a couple of questions for me..

is there a way to enact an endless video loop? untill the process is killed by me?
my plan is to have 3 devices simultaneously playing separate video loops, can anyone recommend the most efficient way of doing this?
thanks

I'm using this with KUAL. Why doesn't it work? I have PW2.

Place the "producer" side or the whole instruction in a loop, I'd say:

Code:

while true; do zcat vid.gmv.gz; done | ./gmplay

or

Code:

while true; do zcat vid.gmv.gz | ./gmplay; done

The second suggestion will probably work better than the first one.
Try it first, less chance that Busybox ash will do something strange.

Seriously now, you're just being rude. I searched up zcat all I can find is linux stuff, so I asked a basic question.

You need to supply more info.

Ah, what do you think your Kindle is running if not Linux?

All questions need proper context, none of us can read your mind.
