Hopefully you are now convinced to try the scripts. And hopefully I can lure more people into trying MPlayer Tools now that it has a user friendly GUI. Yes, I know, I just said that GUIs are bad, but I have to admit, you can't manage a playlist without a GUI. Starting from version 7.0 MPlayer Tools has a GUI. It detects series based on the filenames stores and counts episode names, you can define specific MPlayer options for every series and a nice utility called cds will show you the last watched episode and will go to it's directory.Īnd the benefits never end, just to mention a few more: cdd will go back to a directory where you previously watched something starting from mplayer-tools 6.0 the configuration file has conditions like the IF statement in programming languages.

MPlayer Tools also helps you if you want to watch movie series. and this will remove from the logfile the movies from the current directory.Īnd if you like to watch movies from multiple directories don't worry, there are things for you like mlist or cdm 1. Every movie will be played exactly once but if you want to see the movies again from the directory say mstrip.

To resume your movie just say: cdm mstart all. The bottom line is: go to a directory containing movies, type mstart all, and quit MPlayer whenever you like. Also: tvtimeshift uses only as much space as you are timeshifted.

I would like to mention an interesting feature: configure a memory filesystem and you can spare your hard drive because tvtimeshift can save a couple of minutes data there. And that is why now everybody can have scripts like tv, tvrecord and tvtimeshift. When I bought my TV Tuner I saw that MPlayer needed just a little bit help there too. I hope everyone will agree with me that MPlayer Tools is the CLI heaven for MPlayer users. But there is a documentation to refresh your memory and the default behaviour indulges every lazy people. MPlayer Tools started as a simple hack, a script that using bash functions wrapped MPlayer to catch it's output, and analyze it.

The beauty of using free software is that you are free to use your imagination. It has a GUI but personally I think that even makes things worse (as GUIs do in general).

MPlayer Tools is the result of one thing: a lazy perl programmer (me) overused a great movie player called MPlayer.Īlthought personally I consider MPlayer the best player ever (I even listen to music only with MPlayer) it's not that comfortable to use.
