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.
|
|
|
|
You can also use a fifo file (named pipe):
|
|
|
|
mkfifo </tmp/fifofile>
|
|
mplayer -slave -input file=</tmp/fifofile> <movie>
|
|
|
|
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.
|
|
|
|
NOTE: the following paragraph is mostly obsolete; tricky pause handling
|
|
was required in old MPlayer versions where all commands unpaused by default.
|
|
Now running commands does not require leaving pause state any more, and
|
|
the prefixes described here should not be required in normal use.
|
|
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.
|
|
As a temporary hack, there is also the _experimental_ "pausing_keep_force "
|
|
prefix, with which MPlayer will not exit the pause loop at all.
|
|
Like this you can avoid the "frame stepping" effect of "pausing_keep "
|
|
but most commands will either not work at all or behave in unexpected ways.
|
|
For "set_mouse_pos" and "key_down_event", "pausing_keep_force" is the default
|
|
since other values do not make much sense for them.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Various tips and tricks (please help expand it!):
|
|
|
|
- To ensure the user can't control MPlayer "behind your back" use
|
|
something like -input nodefault-bindings -noconfig all
|
|
|
|
|
|
