NAME

       GNOME Videos - Movie player

SYNOPSIS

       totem [option...] [filenames|URI]

DESCRIPTION

       Videos  is  a movie player for the GNOME desktop.  Through use of the GStreamer backend many popular file
       and streaming formats are supported including: H.264 (AVC) and H.265 (HEVC) MPEG-4, WebM and AV1,  MPEG-2
       and  MPEG-1,  as  well as legacy videos types: Ogg, AVI, ASF, MOV, WMV, QuickTime, and more.  Playback of
       DVDs is also possible.

       For additional documentation on interactive use of Videos select the Help menu option.  The  menus  allow
       access to some features not available through keybindings or command-line options.

OPTIONS

       -?, --help
              Output  a  longer help message then quit.  (Any discrepancies between this man page and the output
              of totem --help should be reported as a documentation bug.)

       --version
              Output version information then quit.

       The following options command an already-running instance of Videos to do something; they are useful  for
       remote-control  scripting. If Videos is not already running, these commands will launch a new instance of
       Videos but will not do anything further.

       --next Tell an already-running instance of Videos to skip to the next movie or chapter in the playlist.

       --previous
              Tell an already-running instance of Videos to return to the  previous  movie  or  chapter  in  the
              playlist.

              Tell an already-running instance of Videos to seek forwards 15 seconds in the current movie.

       --mute Tell an already-running instance of Videos to toggle between muted and unmuted audio.

       --fullscreen
