MPlayer has a fully configurable, command driven, control layer which lets you control MPlayer with keyboard, mouse, joystick or remote control (using LIRC). See the man page for the complete list of keyboard controls.
MPlayer allows you bind any key/button to any
MPlayer command using a simple config file.
The syntax consist of a key name followed by a command. The default config file location is
$HOME/.mplayer/input.conf but it can be overridden
using the -input conf
option
(relative path are relative to $HOME/.mplayer).
You can get a full list of supported key names by running mplayer -input keylist and a full list of available commands by running mplayer -input cmdlist.
例 3.1. A simple input control file
## ## MPlayer input control file ## RIGHT seek +10 LEFT seek -10 - audio_delay 0.100 + audio_delay -0.100 q quit > pt_step 1 < pt_step -1 ENTER pt_step 1 1
Linux Infrared Remote Control - use an easy to build home-brewn IR-receiver, an (almost) arbitrary remote control and control your Linux box with it! More about it on the LIRC homepage.
If you have the LIRC package installed, configure will
autodetect it. If everything went fine, MPlayer
will print "Setting up LIRC support...
"
on startup. If an error occurs it will tell you. If there is no message about
LIRC there is no support compiled in. That's it :-)
The application name for MPlayer is - surprise -
mplayer. You can use any MPlayer
commands and even pass more than one command by separating them with
\n
.
Do not forget to enable the repeat flag in .lircrc when
it makes sense (seek, volume, etc). Here is an excerpt from a sample
.lircrc:
begin button = VOLUME_PLUS prog = mplayer config = volume 1 repeat = 1 end begin button = VOLUME_MINUS prog = mplayer config = volume -1 repeat = 1 end begin button = CD_PLAY prog = mplayer config = pause end begin button = CD_STOP prog = mplayer config = seek 0 1\npause end
If you do not like the standard location for the lirc-config file
(~/.lircrc) use the -lircconf
filename
switch to specify another
file.
The slave mode allows you to build simple frontends to MPlayer. When run with the -slave option MPlayer will read commands separated by a newline (\n) from stdin. The commands are documented in the slave.txt file.
