Watch Internet-based Videos from the iPhone Command Line
A while back instant playaudio karma hit when I was playing around with the iPhone command line. Today, it hit again. After adding video to my command-line playback utility (courtesy of dmunsie's working it all out), I decided to try playing back video from the Internet archive--and it worked! I watched the "Cliche Family" in a small window that floated above my GUI. (Screen shots don't work with video--that's why you're seeing a black rectangle). If you've got command-line access to the iPhone and a copy of my utilities, try issuing the following from the command line. So cool!
