You want to communicate with the mplayer process, don't you? So

--8<----------------
Private $hMPlayer As Process

Public Sub _new()
  $hMPlayer = Shell "mplayer -slave <other_opts> <file>" For Input Output As "MPlayer"
End

Public Sub btnStopPlayback_Click()
  Print #$hMPlayer, "stop"
End

' etc.
--8<----------------

For a list of supported commands... google.

Regards,
Tobi
