I want to use mplayer with `beet play`. \r\n\r\nIn my config files has these lines (Debian):\r\n\r\n    play:\r\n        command: \"/usr/bin/mplayer -playlist\"\r\n\r\nThe issue is that mplayer display does not show up in the terminal window, although the music does begin to play, ex: `beet play beatles`. It's just a blank terminal display.\r\n\r\nIf I spawn another terminal it works fine, but that is not what I want to do, I want to use the same terminal for CLI output from mplayer. \r\n\r\n    play:\r\n        command: \"terminator -x /usr/bin/mplayer -playlist\"\r\n\r\nHow would I get mplayer to display in the window where invoked the `beet play` command?\r\n\r\nLove the program, I finally feel I have control over my unwieldy music library (no thanks to itunes...).
