playd is a simple to use mplayer wrapper script.
Playd was designed to avoid installing mplayer GUI, which are far from perfect.
playd starts mplayer in slave mode and controls it with pipe.
It only depends on mplayer and FreeBSD base system (it can be ported to other systems)
It's possible to integrate playd in desktop environment (assign commands to shortcuts, integrate in menu, etc...)
Command line arguments are simple and easy to remember.
Features:
I think it's perfect for people who want to use mplayer for everything.
new versions will be announced on this thread with link attached
Please, let me know about bugs in playd here
playd is available in ports collection:
multimedia/playd
