SLAVE MODE PROTOCOL ------------------- The -slave option switches on slave mode, in which MPlayer works as a backend for other programs. Instead of intercepting keyboard events, MPlayer will read commands separated by a newline (\n) from stdin. To try slave mode out by hand, run mplayer -slave -quiet <movie> and type slave commands into the console window. You can also use a FIFO file (named pipe): mkfifo </tmp/fifofile> mplayer -slave -input file=</tmp/fifofile> <movie> Most slave mode commands are equivalent to command line options, though not necessarily under the same name. Detailed descriptions can be found in the man page. All commands can be prefixed with one of "pausing ", "pausing_keep ", or "pausing_toggle ". "pausing " tells MPlayer to pause as soon as possible after processing the command. "pausing_keep " tells MPlayer to do so only if it was already in paused mode. "pausing_toggle " tells MPlayer to do so only if it was not already in paused mode. Please note that "as soon as possible" can be before the command is fully executed. As a temporary hack, there is also the _experimental_ "pausing_keep_force " prefix, with which MPlayer will not exit the pause loop at all. Like this you can avoid the "frame stepping" effect of "pausing_keep " but most commands will either not work at all or behave in unexpected ways. For "set_mouse_pos" and "key_down_event", "pausing_keep_force" is the default since other values do not make much sense for them. Various tips and tricks (please help expand it!): - Try using something like pausing_keep_force pt_step 1 get_property pause to switch to the next file. It avoids audio playback starting to play the old file for a short time before switching to the new one. - To ensure the user can't control MPlayer "behind your back" use something like -input nodefault-bindings -noconfig all Available commands ('mplayer -input cmdlist' will print a list): af_add <filter_arguments_list> (comma separated list of audio filters with parameters) (experimental) Load the given list of audio filters. af_clr (experimental) Unload all loaded audio filters. af_cmdline <filter_name> <filter_arguments> (experimental) Send new command-line options to a filter with the given name. af_del <filter_name_list> (comma separated list of audio filter's names) (experimental) Unload the first occurrence of the filters, if loaded. af_switch <filter_arguments_list> (comma separated list of audio filters with parameters) (experimental) Remove all the audio filters and replace them with the given list. alt_src_step <value> (ASX playlist only) When more than one source is available it selects the next/previous one. audio_delay <value> [abs] Set/adjust the audio delay.

The sign of <value> tells the direction. If no entry is available in the given direction it will do nothing unless [force] is non-zero. pt_up_step <value> [force] Similar to pt_step but jumps to the next/previous entry in the parent list. Useful to break out of the inner loop in the playtree. quit [value] Quit MPlayer. The optional integer [value] is used as the return code for the mplayer process (default: 0). radio_set_channel <channel> Switch to <channel>. The 'channels' radio parameter needs to be set. radio_set_freq <frequency in MHz> Set the radio tuner frequency. radio_step_channel <-1|1> Step forwards (1) or backwards (-1) in channel list.

Intended purpose is to allow convenient marking of bogus subtitles which need to be fixed while watching the movie. sub_pos <value> [abs] Adjust/set subtitle position. sub_remove [value] If the [value] argument is present and non-negative, removes the subtitle file with index [value]. If the argument is omitted or negative, removes all subtitle files. sub_select [value] Display subtitle with index [value]. Turn subtitle display off if [value] is -1 or greater than the highest available subtitle index. Cycle through the available subtitles if [value] is omitted or less than -1 (forward or backward respectively). Supported subtitle sources are -sub options on the command line, VOBsubs, DVD subtitles, and Ogg and Matroska text streams. This command is mainly for cycling all subtitles, if you want to set a specific subtitle, use sub_file, sub_vob, or sub_demux. sub_source [source] Display first subtitle from [source]. Here [source] is an integer: SUB_SOURCE_SUBS (0) for file subs SUB_SOURCE_VOBSUB (1) for VOBsub files SUB_SOURCE_DEMUX (2) for subtitle embedded in the media file or DVD subs. If [source] is -1, will turn off subtitle display. If [value] is omitted or less than -1, will cycle between the first subtitle of each currently available source (forward or backward respectively). sub_file [value] Display subtitle specified by [value] for file subs. The [value] is corresponding to ID_FILE_SUB_ID values reported by '-identify'. If [value] is -1, will turn off subtitle display. If [value] is omitted or less than -1, will cycle all file subs (forward or backward respectively). sub_vob [value] Display subtitle specified by [value] for VOBsubs. The [value] is corresponding to ID_VOBSUB_ID values reported by '-identify'. If [value] is -1, will turn off subtitle display.

The [value] is corresponding to ID_SUBTITLE_ID values reported by '-identify'. If [value] is -1, will turn off subtitle display. If [value] is omitted or less than -1, will cycle all DVD subs or embedded subs (forward or backward respectively). sub_scale <value> [abs] Adjust the subtitle size by +/- <value> or set it to <value> when [abs] is nonzero. vobsub_lang This is a stub linked to sub_select for backwards compatibility. sub_step <value> Step forward in the subtitle list by <value> steps or backwards if <value> is negative. sub_visibility [value] Toggle/set subtitle visibility. forced_subs_only [value] Toggle/set forced subtitles only. switch_audio [value] (currently MPEG*, AVI, Matroska and streams handled by libavformat) Switch to the audio track with the ID [value]. Cycle through the available tracks if [value] is omitted or negative. switch_angle [value] (DVDs only) Switch to the DVD angle with the ID [value]. Cycle through the available angles if [value] is omitted or negative. switch_ratio [value] Change aspect ratio at runtime. [value] is the new aspect ratio expressed as a float (e.g. 1.77778 for 16/9), or special value -1 to reset to original aspect ratio (ditto if [value] is missing), or special value 0 to disable automatic movie aspect ratio compensation. There might be problems with some video filters. switch_title [value] (DVDNAV only) Switch to the DVD title with the ID [value]. Cycle through the available titles if [value] is omitted or negative. switch_vsync [value] Toggle vsync (1 == on, 0 == off). If [value] is not provided, vsync status is inverted. teletext_add_digit <value> Enter/leave teletext page number editing mode and append given digit to previously entered one. 0..9 - Append appropriate digit. (Enables editing mode if called from normal mode, and switches to normal mode when third digit is entered.) - - Delete last digit from page number. (Backspace emulation, works only in page number editing mode.) teletext_go_link <1-6> Follow given link on current teletext page. tv_start_scan Start automatic TV channel scanning. tv_step_channel <channel> Select next/previous TV channel. tv_step_norm Change TV norm. tv_step_chanlist Change channel list. tv_set_channel <channel> Set the current TV channel. tv_last_channel Set the current TV channel to the last one. tv_set_freq <frequency in MHz> Set the TV tuner frequency. tv_step_freq <frequency offset in MHz> Set the TV tuner frequency relative to current value. tv_set_norm <norm> Set the TV tuner norm (PAL, SECAM, NTSC, ...). tv_set_brightness <-100 - 100> [abs] Set TV tuner brightness or adjust it if [abs] is set to 0. tv_set_contrast <-100 -100> [abs] Set TV tuner contrast or adjust it if [abs] is set to 0. tv_set_hue <-100 - 100> [abs] Set TV tuner hue or adjust it if [abs] is set to 0. tv_set_saturation <-100 - 100> [abs] Set TV tuner saturation or adjust it if [abs] is set to 0. use_master Switch volume control between master and PCM. vo_border [value] Toggle/set borderless display. vo_fullscreen [value] Toggle/set fullscreen mode. vo_ontop [value] Toggle/set stay-on-top. vo_rootwin [value] Toggle/set playback on the root window. volume <value> [abs] Increase/decrease volume or set it to <value> if [abs] is nonzero. overlay_add <file> <id> <x> <y> <color> Add an overlay bitmap. <file> must be a PGM file without comments. <id> is an arbitrary integer used to identify the overlay. overlay_remove <id> Remove all overlays identified by <id>. The following commands are really only useful for OSD menu console mode: help Displays help text, currently empty. exit Exits from OSD menu console. Unlike 'quit', does not quit MPlayer. 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.
