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 -input file=<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.
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):
