DESCRIPTION

       SMPlayer is a GUI media player based on Qt, 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.
