MPlayer utilizes a complex playtree. It consists of global options written as first, for example
mplayer -vfm 5
and options written after filenames, that apply only to the given filename/URL/whatever, for example:
mplayer -vfm 5movie1.avi
movie2.avi
-vfm 4
You can group filenames/URLs together using {
and
}
. It is useful with option -loop:
mplayer { 1.avi -loop 2 2.avi } -loop 3
The above command will play files in this order: 1, 1, 2, 1, 1, 2, 1, 1, 2.
Playing a file:
mplayer [options
] [path
/]filename
Another way to play a file:
mplayer [options
]file:///uri-escaped-path
Playing more files:
mplayer [default options
] [path
/]filename1
[options for filename1
]filename2
[options for filename2
] ...

mplayer [options
