MPlayer allow you to bind any key/button to any MPlayer command using a simple config file. +The syntax consist of a key name followed by a command. The default config file location is +$HOME/.mplayer/input.conf but it can be overrided using the -input conf switch (relative path are relative to $HOME/.mplayer). +
+Example: +
+## +## MPlayer input control file +## + +RIGHT seek +10 +LEFT seek -10 +- audio_delay 0.100 ++ audio_delay -0.100 +q quit +> pt_step 1 +< pt_step -1 +ENTER pt_step 1 1 ++ + + + + +

Seek to some place in the movie.
+ Type 0 is a relative seek of +/- val seconds.
+ Type 1 seek to val % in the movie.
Adjust the audio delay of val seconds
+Quit MPlayer
+Pause/unpause the playback
+Somebody know ?
+Go to next/prev entry in playtree. Val sign tell the direction.
+ If no other entry is avaible in the given direction it won't do anything unless force is non 0.

Like pt_step but it jump to next/prev in the parent list. It's useful to break innner loop in the playtree.
+When more than one source is avaible it select the next/previous one (only supported by asx playlist).
+Adjust the subtitles delay of +/- val seconds or set it to val seconds when abs is non zero.
+Toggle osd mode or set it to level when level > 0.
+Increase/decrease volume
+Set/Adjust video paramters. Val range from -100 to 100.

+Linux Infrared Remote Control - use an easy to build home-brewn IR-receiver, an (almost) arbitrary remote control and control your linux box with it! More about it at www.lirc.org.
-If you have installed the lirc-package, you can compile MPlayer with LIRC -support using ./configure --enable-lirc
- -If everything went fine, MPlayer will print a message like -LIRC init was successful. -on startup. If an error occurs it will tell you. If it doesn't tell you -anything about LIRC there's no support compiled in. That's it :-)
+If you have installed the lirc-package, configure will autodetect it. If everything went fine, MPlayer will print a message like "Setting up lirc support..." on startup. If an error occurs it will tell you. If it doesn't tell you anything about LIRC there's no support compiled in. That's it :-)
The application name for MPlayer is - oh wonder - 'mplayer'. -It understands the following commands:
- -| PAUSE | pause playing. Any other keystroke will continue replay. | ||
| QUIT | exit MPlayer | ||
| RWND | 10 secs back | ||
| FRWND | 60 secs back | ||
| FWD | skip 10 secs | ||
| FFWD | skip 60 secs | ||
| INCVOL | increase volume one percent | ||
| DECVOL | decrease volume one percent | ||
| PCM | use pcm mixer channel | ||
Don't forget to enable the repeat flag for RWND/FWD in .lircrc. Here's an +You can use any mplayer commands and even pass more than one command by separating them with \n. Don't forget to enable the repeat flag in .lircrc when it make sense (seek, volume, etc). Here's an excerpt from my .lircrc:
-begin - remote = CU-SX070 - prog = mplayer - button = Tape_Play - repeat = 1 - config = FFWD - end ++begin + button = VOLUME_PLUS + prog = mplayer + config = volume 1 + repeat = 1 +end - begin - remote = CU-SX070 - prog = mplayer - button = Tape_Stop - config = QUIT - end+begin + button = VOLUME_MINUS + prog = mplayer + config = volume -1 + repeat = 1 +end + +begin + button = CD_PLAY + prog = mplayer + config = pause +end + +begin + button = CD_STOP + prog = mplayer + config = seek 0 1\npause +end +
If you don't like the standard location for the lirc-config file (~/.lircrc) use the -lircconf <filename> switch to specify another file.
-3.4. Streaming from network or pipes
+ + +The slave mode allow you to build simple frontend to MPlayer. When enabled (with the -slave switch) MPlayer will read commands separeted by new line (\n) from stdin.

3.3. Streaming from network or pipes
MPlayer can play files from network, using the HTTP or MMS protocol.
