SLAVE MODE PROTOCOL
-------------------
The -slave option switches on slave mode, in which MPlayer works as a backend
for other programs. Instead of intercepting keyboard events, MPlayer will read
commands separated by a newline (\n) from stdin.
To try slave mode out by hand, run
mplayer -slave -quiet <movie>
and type slave commands into the console window.
Most slave mode commands are equivalent to command line options, though not
necessarily under the same name. Detailed descriptions can be found in the
man page.
All commands can be prefixed with one of "pausing ", "pausing_keep ", or
"pausing_toggle ". "pausing " tells MPlayer to pause as soon as possible
after processing the command. "pausing_keep " tells MPlayer to do so only if
it was already in paused mode. "pausing_toggle " tells MPlayer to do so
only if it was not already in paused mode. Please note that "as soon as
possible" can be before the command is fully executed.
Available commands ('mplayer -input cmdlist' will print a list):
alt_src_step <value> (ASX playlist only)
When more than one source is available it selects the next/previous one.
audio_delay <value> [abs]
Set/adjust the audio delay.
If [abs] is not given or is zero, adjust the delay by <value> seconds.
If [abs] is nonzero, set the delay to <value> seconds.
[brightness|contrast|gamma|hue|saturation] <value> [abs]
Set/adjust video parameters.
If [abs] is not given or is zero, modifies parameter by <value>.
If [abs] is non-zero, parameter is set to <value>.
<value> is in the range [-100, 100].

Change the position of the rectangle filter rectangle.
<val1>
Must be one of the following:
0 = width

Integer amount to add/subtract from the width/height.
Positive values add to width/height and negative values
subtract from it.
If <val1> is 2 or 3:

rectangle corner. Positive values move the rectangle
right/down and negative values move the rectangle left/up.

If <append> is nonzero playback continues and the file/URL is
appended to the current playlist instead.
loadlist <file> <append>
Load the given playlist file, stopping playback of the current file.
If <append> is nonzero playback continues and the playlist file is
appended to the current playlist instead.
menu <command>
Execute an OSD menu command.
up Move cursor up.
down Move cursor down.
ok Accept selection.
cancel Cancel selection.
hide Hide the OSD menu.
set_menu <menu_name>
Display the menu named <menu_name>.
mute [value]
Toggle sound output muting or set it to [value] when [value] >= 0
(1 == on, 0 == off).
osd [level]
Toggle OSD mode or set it to [level] when [level] >= 0.
osd_show_text <string>
Show <string> on the OSD.
panscan <-1.0 - 1.0> | <0.0 - 1.0> <abs>
Increase or decrease the pan-and-scan range by <value>, 1.0 is the maximum.
Negative values decrease the pan-and-scan range.
If <abs> is != 0, then the pan-and scan range is interpreted as an
absolute range.
pause
Pause/unpause the playback.
frame_step
Play one frame, then pause again.
pt_step <value> [force]
Go to the next/previous entry in the playtree. The sign of <value> tells
the direction. If no entry is available in the given direction it will do
nothing unless [force] is non-zero.
pt_up_step <value> [force]
Similar to pt_step but jumps to the next/previous entry in the parent list.
Useful to break out of the inner loop in the playtree.
quit [value]
Quit MPlayer. The optional integer [value] is used as the return code
for the mplayer process (default: 0).
seek <value> [type]
Seek to some place in the movie.
0 is a relative seek of +/- <value> seconds (default).
1 is a seek to <value> % in the movie.

The following commands are really only useful for OSD menu console mode:
help
Displays help text, currently empty.
exit
Exits from OSD menu console. Unlike 'quit', does not quit MPlayer.
hide
Hides the OSD menu console. Clicking a menu command unhides it. Other
keybindings act as usual.
run <value>
Run <value> as shell command. In OSD menu console mode stdout and stdin
are through the video output driver.
