DESCRIPTION
       SMPlayer	 is  a GUI media player based on Qt 4, using mplayer(1) as its
       backend.

OPTIONS
       -minigui
	      Open the mini GUI instead of the default one.

       -mpcgui
	      Open the mpc GUI instead of the default one.

       -defaultgui
	      Open the default gui.

       -config-path <directory>
	      Specify the directory for the configuration files (smplayer.ini,
	      smplayer_files.ini...).

       -send-action <action_name>
	      Try to make a connection to another running instance and send to
	      it the specified action.

	      Example: smplayer -send-action pause

	      The rest of options (if any) will be ignored and the application
	      will exit. It will return 0 on success or -1 on failure.

       -actions <action_list>
	      <action_list>  is	 a  list  of  actions separated by spaces. The
	      actions will be executed just after loading the file (if any) in
	      the  same	 order	as  input. For switchable actions you can pass
	      true or false as parameter.

	      Example: smplayer -actions.br "fullscreen compact true"

	      Quotes are necessary in case you pass more than one action.

       -close-at-end
	      Close the main window when the file/playlist finishes.

       -no-close-at-end
	      Do not close the main window when the file/playlist finishes.

       -fullscreen
	      Play the video in fullscreen mode.

       -no-fullscreen
	      Play the video in windowed mode.

       -sub   Specify the subtitle file to be  loaded  (for  the  first	 video
	      only).

       -pos <x> <y>
	      Specify the coordinates where the main window will be displayed.

       -size <width> <height>
	      Specify the size of the main window.

       -h, -help, --help, -?
	      Show the help message and then exit.

       -add-to-playlist
	      If there is another instance running, the media will be added to
	      that instance's playlist. If there is no	other  instance,  this
	      option  will  be	ignored	 and the files will be opened in a new
	      instance.

       -disable-server
	      Disables the server used to communicate  with  other  instances.
	      This also disables the possibility to use a single instance.

       <media1> <media2> ...
	      Any kind of file that SMPlayer can open. It can be a local file,
	      a DVD (e.g. dvd://1), an Internet stream (e.g. mms://....) or  a
	      local playlist in format m3u or pls.
