DESCRIPTION¶
- SMPlayer is a GUI media player based on Qt 4, using
mplayer(1) as its backend.
OPTIONS¶
- -minigui
- Open the mini GUI instead of the default one.
- -mpcgui
- Open the mpc GUI instead of the default one.
- -defaultgui
- Open the default gui.
- -config-path <directory>
- Specify the directory for the configuration files
(smplayer.ini, smplayer_files.ini...).
- -send-action <action_name>
- Try to make a connection to another running instance and
send to it the specified action.
- Example: smplayer -send-action pause
- The rest of options (if any) will be ignored and the
application will exit. It will return 0 on success or -1 on failure.
- -actions <action_list>
- <action_list> is a list of actions separated by
spaces. The actions will be executed just after loading the file (if any)
in the same order as input. For switchable actions you can pass true or
false as parameter.
- Example: smplayer -actions.br "fullscreen
compact true"
- Quotes are necessary in case you pass more than one
action.
- -close-at-end
- Close the main window when the file/playlist finishes.
- -no-close-at-end
- Do not close the main window when the file/playlist
finishes.
- -fullscreen
- Play the video in fullscreen mode.
- -no-fullscreen
- Play the video in windowed mode.
- -sub
- Specify the subtitle file to be loaded (for the first video
only).
- -pos <x> <y>
- Specify the coordinates where the main window will be
displayed.
- -size <width> <height>
- Specify the size of the main window.
- -h, -help, --help, -?
- Show the help message and then exit.
- -add-to-playlist
- If there is another instance running, the media will be
added to that instance's playlist. If there is no other instance, this
option will be ignored and the files will be opened in a new
instance.
- -disable-server
- Disables the server used to communicate with other
instances. This also disables the possibility to use a single
instance.
- <media1> <media2> ...
- Any kind of file that SMPlayer can open. It can be a local
file, a DVD (e.g. dvd://1), an Internet stream (e.g. mms://....) or a
local playlist in format m3u or pls.
