.. _input:
INPUT.CONF
==========
The input.conf file consists of a list of key bindings, for example:
| s screenshot # take a screenshot with the s key
Each line maps a key to an input command. Keys are specified with their literal
value (upper case if combined with ``Shift``), or a name for special keys. For
example, ``a`` maps to the ``a`` key without shift, and ``A`` maps to ``a``
with shift.
A list of special keys can be obtained with
| **mplayer** --input=keylist
In general, keys can be combined with ``Shift``, ``Ctrl`` and ``Alt``:
| ctrl+q quit
General input command syntax
----------------------------
`[Shift+][Ctrl+][Alt+][Meta+]<key> [<prefix>] <command> (<argument>)*`
Newlines always start a new binding. ``#`` starts a comment (outside of quoted
string arguments). To bind commands to the ``#`` key, ``SHARP`` can be used.
<key> is either the literal character the key produces (ASCII or unicode
character), or a symbol name.
Arguments are separated by whitespace. This applies even to string arguments.
For this reason, string arguments should be quoted with ``"``. Inside quotes,
C style escaping can be used.
Optional arguments can be skipped with ``-``.
List of input commands
----------------------
ignore
Use this to "block" keys that should be unbound, and do nothing. Useful for
disabling default bindings, without disabling all bindings with
``--input=default-bindings=no``.
seek <seconds> [relative|absolute|absolute-percent] [default-precise|exact|keyframes]
Change the playback position. By default, seeks by a relative amount of
seconds.
The second argument sets the seek mode:
relative (default)
Seek relative to current position (a negative value seeks backwards).
absolute
Seek to a given time.
absolute-percent
Seek to agiven percent position.
The third argument defines how exact the seek is:
default-precise (default)
Follow the default behavior as set by ``--hr-seek``, which by default
does imprecise seeks (like ``keyframes``).
exact
Always do exact/hr/precise seeks (slow).
keyframes
Always restart playback at keyframe boundaries (fast).
frame_step
Basically seek forward by one frame. Actually this plays one frame, then
pauses again.
set <property> "<value>"
Set the given property to the given value.
add <property> [<value>]
Add the given value to the property. On overflow or underflow, clamp the
property to the maximum. If <value> is omitted, assume ``1``.
cycle <property> [<value>]
Cycle the given property. Negative values cycle the property backwards. On
overflow, set the property back to the minimum, on underflow set it to the
maximum. If <value> is omitted, assume ``1``.
speed_mult <value>
Multiply the ``speed`` property by the given value.
screenshot [single|each-frame] [video|window]
Take a screenshot.
First argument:
<single> (default)
Take a single screenshot.
<each-frame>
Take a screenshot each frame. Issue this command again to stop taking
screenshots.
Second argument:
<video> (default)
Save the video image, in its original resolution. Typically without
OSD or subtitles, but the exact behavior depends on the selected video
output.
<window>
Save the contents of the mplayer window. Typically scaled, with OSD and
subtitles. The exact behavior depends on the selected video output, and
if not support is available, this will act like ``video``.
playlist_next [weak|force]
Go to the next entry on the playlist.
weak (default)
If the last file on the playlist is currently played, do nothing.
force
Terminate playback if there are no more files on the playlist.
playlist_prev [weak|force]
Go to the previous entry on the playlist.
weak (default)
If the first file on the playlist is currently played, do nothing.
force
Terminate playback if the first file is being played.
loadfile "<file>" [replace|append]
Load the given file and play it.
Second argument:
<replace> (default)
Stop playback of the current file, and play the new file immediately.
<append>
Append the file to the playlist.
loadlist "<playlist>" [replace|append]
Load the given playlist file (like ``--playlist``).
playlist_clear
Clear the playlist, except the currently played file.
run "<command>"
Run the given command with ``/bin/sh -c``. The string is expanded like in
``--playing-msg`` before
quit [<code>]
Exit the player using the given exit code.
sub_load "<file>"
Load the given subtitle file. It's not selected as current subtitle after
loading.
sub_step <skip>
Change subtitle timing such, that the subtitle event after the next <skip>
subtitle events is displayed. <skip> can be negative to step back.
osd [<level>]
Toggle OSD level. If <level> is specified, set the OSD mode
(see ``--osd-level`` for valid values).
show_text "<string>" [<duration>] [<level>]
Show text on the OSD. The string can contain properties, which are expanded
like in ``--playing-msg``. This can be used to show playback time, filename,
and so on.
<duration> is the time in ms to show the message. By default, it uses the
same value as ``--osd-duration``.
<level> is the minimum OSD level to show the text (see ``--osd-level``).
show_progress
Show the progress bar, the elapsed time and the total duration of the file
on the OSD.
show_chapters
Show a list of chapters on the OSD.
show_tracks
Show a list of video/audio/subtitle tracks on the OSD.
Undocumented properties: tv_start_scan, tv_step_channel, tv_step_norm,
tv_step_chanlist, tv_set_channel, tv_last_channel, tv_set_freq, tv_step_freq,
tv_set_norm, dvb_set_channel, radio_step_channel, radio_set_channel,
radio_set_freq, radio_step_freq (all of these should be replaced by properties),
edl_mark, stop (questionable use), get_property (?), af_switch, af_add, af_del,
af_clr, af_cmdline, vo_cmdline (experimental).
Input command prefixes
----------------------
osd-auto (default)
Use the default behavior for this command.
no-osd
Do not use any OSD for this command.
osd-bar
If possible, show a bar with this command. Seek commands will show the
progress bar, property changing commands may show the newly set value.
osd-msg
If possible, show an OSD message with this command. The seek command shows
the current playback time (like ``show_progress``), property changing
commands show the newly set value as text.
osd-msg-bar
Combine osd-bar and osd-msg.
All of these are still overridden by the global ``--osd-level`` settings.
Undocumented prefixes: pausing, pausing_keep, pausing_toggle,
pausing_keep_force. (Should these be made official?)
Properties
----------
Properties are used to set mplayer options during runtime, or to query arbitrary
information. They can be manipulated with the ``set``/``add``/``cycle``
commands, and retrieved with ``show_text``, or anything else that uses property
expansion. (See ``--playing-msg`` how properties are expanded.)
``W`` indicates whether the property is generally writeable. If an option
is referenced, the property should take/return exactly the same values as the
option.

--playing-msg=<string>
Print out a string before starting playback. The following expansions are
supported:
Print out a string before starting playback. The string is expanded for
properties, e.g. ``--playing-msg=file: ${filename}`` will print the string
``file: `` followed by the currently played filename.
The following expansions are supported:
${NAME}
Expand to the value of the property ``NAME``.
?(NAME:TEXT)
Expand ``TEXT`` only if the property ``NAME`` is available.
?(!NAME:TEXT)
Expand ``TEXT`` only if the property ``NAME`` is not available.
Expands to the value of the property ``NAME``. If ``NAME`` starts with
``=``, use the raw value of the property. If retrieving the property
fails, expand to an error string. (Use ``${NAME:}`` with a trailing
``:`` to expand to an empty string instead.)
${NAME:STR}
Expands to the value of the property ``NAME``, or ``STR`` if the
property can't be retrieved. ``STR`` is expanded recursively.
${!NAME:STR}
Expands to ``STR`` (recursively) if the property ``NAME`` can't be
retrieved.
${?NAME:STR}
Expands to ``STR`` (recursively) if the property ``NAME`` is available.
$$
Expands to ``$``.
$}
Expands to ``}``. (To produce this character inside rexursive
expansion.)
$>
Disable property expansion and special handling of ``$`` for the rest
of the string.
--playlist=<filename>
