hide
    Hides the OSD menu console. Clicking a menu command unhides it. Other
    keybindings act as usual.

run <value>
    Run <value> as shell command. In OSD menu console mode stdout and stdin
    are through the video output driver.


Available properties:

name               type      min     max     get set step comment

hide
    Hides the OSD menu console. Clicking a menu command unhides it. Other
    keybindings act as usual.

run <string>
    Run <string> with properties expanded as shell command. In OSD menu
    console mode stdout and stdin are through the video output driver.
    Property expansion happens in the same way as for osd_show_property_text.
    Note: MPlayer will do property expansion on anything of the form
    ${somevar} before it is passed to the shell.
    This means that you cannot use this syntax for anything you actually
    want the shell to handle, though any other form like $somevar will
    be passed on to and processed by the shell.

    Example:
    run "echo ${filename} ${stream_pos} >> <path_to_file>"


Available properties:

name               type      min     max     get set step comment
