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.
